Riverside CA - Let's go out to dinner and a movie tonight!

A Great Place in Riverside for a Night Out - The Tyler Galleria and AMC Theaters

I'm so glad that the Tyler Galleria (also known as the Tyler Mall) expansion is complete. This has greatly added to the area. That expansion brought in some terrific new restaurants and a beautiful new movie theater to Riverside. It is located very conveniently just off the Tyler St. exit on the 91 freeway. The new building with the theaters and some restaurants is on Magnolia. It is a large building - you can't miss it. My husband and I really enjoy going to movies and dinner here. There is parking in front of the building and in the adjacent parking garage.

The new AMC Theaters Tyler Galleria has 16 theaters. Click the link to find which movies are currently showing and the times. It is on the second level. If you can't do that many stairs well, don't worry there is an elevator and an escalator. With 16 theaters, it is more than likely that you will find a movie that you'll enjoy watching. For dining either before or after the movie, there are lots of good restaurants to choose from.

Restaurants at the Tyler Mall

Riverside's primary shopping center, the Tyler Mall is one of the Inland Empire's top retail destinations. Some of my favorite restaurants are located here. I'm not going to be able to mention all the restaurants here - there are too many and I know I'll leave some out. There are several restaurants located on the outside of the mall and there are a number of fast food restaurants inside, most of which are locted in the Food Court on the 2nd floor.

One of the most popular restaurants is the Cheesecake Factory. This restaurant offers more than 200 eclectic menu selections and 50 cheesecakes and desserts. Lunch and dinner, Mon.-Thurs. 11am to 11:30pm, Fri. and Sat. 11am to 12:30am, Sun. 2pm to 11pm; Sunday brunch 10am to 2pm.

A very popular restaurant in Southern California is located here, PF Chang's China Bistro. This contemporary restaurant dishes up traditional Chinese fare. Lunch and dinner, Sun.-Thurs. 11am to 11pm, Fri. and Sat. 11am to midnight. I had never eaten at PF Chang's before - until this one opened in Riverside late in 2007. It immediately became one of our favorites.

Another good restaurant located at the Tyler Galleria is the Yard House. This is on the ground floor of the building where the theaters are located. The Yard House serves American fusion cuisine while rock ‘n’ roll classics play over the high-end sound system. There is a large selection of draft beers. Lunch and dinner, Sun.-Wed. 11am to 11:30pm, Thurs. 11am to 11pm, Fri. and Sat. 11am to 1:00am.

The Elephant Bar and Grill is another restaurant at Tyler Galleria - also located on the ground floor of the theater building. Their hours are 11:00 am –to 10:00 pm Sunday through Thursday and 11:00 am to 11:00 pm Friday and Saturday.
