    A Must-Visit Spot in Temple! La Riv is back and better than ever! After reopening post-tornado, they’ve not only restored their space but have brought back the exceptional dining experience that makes this place a true gem in Temple. The atmosphere is warm and inviting, the service is top-notch, and the food—absolutely incredible. From beautifully crafted dishes to an impressive wine selection, every detail is thoughtfully executed. It’s inspiring to see a local favorite come back so strong, and it’s clear that La Riv’s commitment to quality and hospitality hasn’t skipped a beat. If you haven’t been back yet, now is the perfect time to experience everything they have to offer. Highly recommend!

    Bravo! Our first visit back since the re-opening. We have missed our favorite restaurant. We were not disappointed. In fact, we were impressed. La Riv is better than ever. The entire experience (on our anniversary) was exceptional - the food, the atmosphere, and the service. We felt so welcomed by everyone. La Riv truly is a fulfilling restaurant experience.

    We are so happy, excited, and grateful to have La Riv back open in our community! Vira and her staff did an outstanding job rebuilding and creating a great dining atmosphere. The food and cocktails are by far the best in town. We really enjoyed our evening at La Riv and are excited to come back! Thank you for all that you do, Vira!

    Showed up for our date but unfortunately La Riv was damaged by a tornado. We were not able to dine there. I hope they recovery quickly from this adversity. I also admire them giving away all the food in their fridges for free post tornado. I hope to dine there again soon!
