The Riata Diner & Tavern

The blood mary here is really good. The food is really pricey though.

The best Bloody Mary I have ever had! This place is great for the whole family as it is not a quiet dinner place but has a much more down home atmosphere. I have had lots of things from the menu and have not been dissapointed.

Ok, this looks like a typical bar with a greasy spoon cook in the back, but I asked a freind who goes out dining often to rate it and she said it was good. And the place even tries to "juice itself up" as a restaurant in it's advertising. So I took my family. I should have went with my better judgement. The food is very much what you would expect from a BAR that wants to offer some food to it's drinking customers, who are half crocked anyway. You know, the old barrel type wooden chairs around two pushed together tables with a plastic red and white checker cloth on top, along with condiments. Substandard fare. And priced too expensively for the quality of the food. They give you a big portion but its crappy. Portion size does not make up for quality! Just stay home and cook something or hit fast food.
