    We went to celebrate our wedding anniversary and had an incredible meal, start to finish. The food was outstanding, everything was absolutely delicious. Drinks were great too! The ambiance and service never disappoints either. All around, worth every dollar you spend!

    It's been a few years since I've dined at Riviera Restaurant and I'm sorry I waited so long. My friend and me loved our smashburger which was prepared to perfection, to include having each ordered a drink, The Botanist gin with a wedge of grapefruit. The fries too were seasoned just right and the aioli sauce was prepared fresh - tres delicious. If I had one request for a future visit, it would be for Riviera to offer sweet potato fries as a swap-out for the regular white potato fries. But other than that, I honestly can't think of one criticism.

    Tremendous experience as always. We have been here several times and it never disappoints. Also to note the extra efforts they undertake to accommodate a gluten-free diet.

    We've been here a few times before and it's always good, but last night was even better. Pretty much a flawless meal with incredible service. Loved every minute of it.
