Lisa and her husband Julian started The Riverside Market & Cafe in 2010 with no restaurant experience. They ignored conventional wisdom, and trusted their instincts, doing things such as implementing a honor system bottled beer and having no TVs in a place you would expect to have TVs. Riverside quickly became one of the most popular and highly rated restaurants in Fort Lauderdale, precisely because they did things differently. The couple has since opened Craft Beer Cartel and a second Riverside, with a third Riverside on the way. Lisa shares the journey here. Enjoy...
