Beware! Stay away from Creola's on holidays! A late lunch at Creola's was supposed to be the highlight of my 80 year-old Mom's Mothers Day weekend. 3 o'clock reservations, 100+ degrees outside. Were the first into the door at 2:53, waited while Creola, her back to us in the next room preparing multiple servings of Bananas Foster, refused to acknowledge... More

Food is fine, upscale atmosphere but caters primarily for the 50 and older crowd. Most of the choices on the menu are mid-western type, meat and potatoes, gravy, no real spicy or out of the ordinary fare. Not real generous with their portions. Felt like they expect older people who want generally blandish food and no leftovers.

Delicious meals in a very cute atmosphere. Perfect place for a ladies' luncheon. Good service. Pride of ownership.

This is a small restaurant serving the very best French dishes we have ever had. The service is excellent. The atmosphere is very pleasing. It is easy to have a conversation with friends without distracting noise,

We have been eating at this restaurant for 10 years, both just 2 people and sometimes group as large as 20. It is a fine dining experience for reasonable price.

Ok, so I get it that "fine dining" is not rushed. You should be relaxed and ready to enjoy the experience......but this was a little too much. It was 45 minutes from the time we were seated until the waitress even brought us the menu or a glass of water. 45 minutes to even begin the evening? After we finally... More

My mom took me to Creola's, telling me how wonderful it was, the food was so delicious and the atmosphere and service were as well. She was very embarrassed and we almost left when it took forever to place our order, then to finally receive our food. Even the meal was not very memorable - or worth waiting for. Poor... More

I have lived in Riverside five years and just discovered this place. When we first got to the restaurant our group was a bit worried because we were younger than everyone there by about 40 years. But after the first taste of our escargot we were won over. The French onion soup was amazing. My favorite entrees were the lamb... More
