This area is a pleasure even in cold weather. The river rushes by, fascinating. Bridges, parks, places to sit, entertainment venues, and all around some of the coolest eating and drinking in town. Right downtown too.

We were on the 7th floor in the Sierra or Tower at El Dorado There is a Japanese restaurant near the elevator to go up to rooms. The smell was awful and very strong. we could smell it in our room and it was worse at night. The bedding and our clothes reeked of the food odor. It make me sick!

The Riverwalk area is so pretty and pleasant to sit and watch the river go by or just stroll. We wanted to spend more time there but despite this fantastic location, there aren't very many dining choices. Sadly, many seemed to be closed or out of business. The Wild River Grill was VERY pricey, The Eddy was disappointing and the two bars we found did not serve any food. Next time we would take a picnic and spread out on the banks or on the island park.
