The downtown Riverside restaurant will create nearly 150 jobs and accommodate more than 275 guests across its dining room, private-event spaces and outdoor patio.

Fleming’s Prime Steakhouse & Wine Bar will expand its Southern California presence this November with the opening of its first Riverside location.

The new restaurant, located at 3777 Mission Inn Avenue near the historic Mission Inn Hotel & Spa, will bring Fleming’s signature steaks, international wine collection and upscale dining experience to downtown Riverside. It will become the company’s 14th California restaurant and is expected to create nearly 150 local jobs.

Spanning approximately 8,751 square feet, Fleming’s Riverside will accommodate more than 275 guests. The restaurant will include a main dining room, three private dining spaces and a large outdoor patio.

The variety of spaces will allow the restaurant to accommodate intimate dinners, social gatherings, business meetings, corporate functions and larger celebrations. Guests will also be able to reserve the restaurant’s Chef’s Table for a more personalized dining experience.

“It’s important that we tailor our offerings to each of our communities while staying true to what Fleming’s is known for,” said Dewayne Glass, operating partner of Fleming’s Riverside. “With wine country right here in our backyard in Southern California, we’re eager to welcome guests with an experience that complements the menu and feels connected to the region.”

Glass will lead the Riverside restaurant alongside Chef Partner Ryan Wong. Together, they will oversee the guest experience, culinary program and daily operations.

Wong has been with Fleming’s for nearly 10 years and is known within the company for bringing consistency, creativity and bold flavor to his cuisine.

The Riverside menu will feature Fleming’s signature prime steaks along with specialty offerings such as caviar service and A5 Japanese Wagyu. Wong will also develop a selection of chef specialties for the new location.

Beyond its traditional dinner service, the restaurant will offer a nightly Social Hour and specialty coursed menus on Sundays and Tuesdays. Its wine program will feature selections sourced from prominent producers around the world, complementing the restaurant’s steak, seafood and specialty dishes.

The opening will add another nationally recognized restaurant brand to downtown Riverside, which continues to develop as a regional destination for dining, hospitality, arts and entertainment. Its location near the Mission Inn is expected to attract business travelers, visitors, local professionals and organizations seeking private dining accommodations.

The nearly 150 jobs associated with the opening will also contribute to Riverside’s hospitality workforce and the continued economic activity surrounding the downtown district.

Fleming’s was founded in Newport Beach in 1998 by Paul Fleming and Bill Allen. The founders envisioned a contemporary steakhouse that moved beyond the conventions traditionally associated with the category.

The company has since expanded to more than 60 locations nationwide, offering prime steaks, seafood, wine and private-dining experiences.

Fleming’s Riverside is scheduled to open in November 2026. Guests can register for opening announcements, exclusive invitations and restaurant news at Fleming’s Riverside Coming Soon.

Elevating Rancho Cucamonga: Sanctity Hotel Introduces Luxurious Retreat and Premier Rooftop Dining Experience

Rancho Cucamonga is stepping into the spotlight as a premier travel and lifestyle destination with the opening of Sanctity Hotel and Durango Cocina & Rooftop Bar on April 3. As the city experiences rapid growth—including the upcoming Brightline West high-speed rail connecting travelers to Las Vegas—Sanctity Hotel marks a new chapter in elevated hospitality with its retreat-style accommodations, advanced wellness therapy offerings and a first-of-its-kind restaurant and rooftop dining experience.

The Five Elements

A Tapestry Collection by Hilton™ hotel, the 68-room property redefines luxury in Rancho Cucamonga with premium amenities, including a gym, sauna, and Thriv Studio —offering advanced wellness therapies. Designed to embody the five elements of life—earth, water, fire, air and space—Sanctity Hotel offers a feeling of balance and tranquility whether you are traveling for business, leisure or in groups. 

“Bringing Sanctity Hotel and Durango Cocina to life has been a dream come true. Every detail tells a story, inviting guests to experience something truly unique to the area,” says Sachin Bhakta, Vice President of Development at Globiwest Hospitality. “Rancho Cucamonga is an incredible community, and we wanted to create a space that feels like a true retreat—where guests can unwind, experience exceptional hospitality, and enjoy amazing food and drink at Durango Cocina.” 

Design Inspired by the Five Elements and Natural Craftsmanship

Sanctity Hotel’s design is a modern interpretation of the five fundamental elements—earth, water, fire, air, and space—woven into every detail of the property. Inspired by the palaces of India and brought to life with natural materials, the interiors are grounded in earth through the use of hand-carved Parota wood sourced from Mexico. From sculptural headboards and coffee tables to the front desk, each piece is crafted from single cuts of real wood, free of synthetic materials. Air and space are reflected in the open layouts and expansive flow of the property, including Rancho Cucamonga’s first rooftop bar. Fire comes to life through the warmth and energy of Durango Cocina, the hotel’s signature restaurant. Water is symbolized by a cascading waterfall feature in the hotel lobby, welcoming guests with a sense of movement and tranquility. Guest rooms feature 100% recycled organic textiles, while original works by Mexico City-based artist and yogi Enrique de Anda add spiritual depth—merging nature, energy, and design in harmonious balance.

For guests seeking wellness treatments, Thriv Studio offers an advanced, holistic approach to relaxation and rejuvenation with innovative services like Lymphatic Drainage Therapy, Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy, Infrared Ozone Therapy, and BrainTap Therapy—each designed to enhance mental, physical, and emotional well-being. Communal hotel amenities include a gym and sauna, a spacious private meeting room and function space, and indoor and outdoor event space for celebrating any occasion.

Durango-Inspired Cuisine 

Led by Chef Alex Carrasco, a Michelin Bib Gourmand recipient, Durango Cocina’s menu pays tribute to the culinary heritage of Durango, Mexico, while integrating locally sourced ingredients and modern cooking techniques. Brought to life by Boulevard Hospitality Group, the dynamic new concept brings a vibrant culinary destination and the city’s first rooftop dining experience. 

Set against expansive mountain views, Rancho Cucamonga’s first rooftop bar features serpentine-style seating and cabana sections surrounding cozy fire pits, and offers guests menu options like its Ceviche and an extensive mezcal and tequila selection, handcrafted cocktails, fine wines, and house-made agua frescas.
