Waiter was nice but confused our order . When questioned about this he did try to make it better by comping a drink or a dessert

Riva Grill is SO delicious and enjoyable we ate there twice on our vacation. The food, “Woody” cocktails, the patio, location and service were excellent!

Yvonne

It was an average experience. The food and service was good (avoid the wagyu NY steak) and the view was great. The delay in service really put a damper on the flow of the whole experience.

Leslie

Great location right on the water! This restaurant has been there for several years and there is beach access and a really fun bar next-door and shopping opportunities. Food was delicious and service was outstanding.!

Tim

Good food and service but expensive and very noisy! The view of the lake is clouded with rental pontoon boats and jet skis.

Beautiful views outdoors of the lake. Good service and food. Overall, I recommend Riva highly.

The food was horrible Clams were tough and tasteless Soups were salty Deviled eggs were fine but could not find the lobster Coconut shrimp was so tough that it could not be cut with a knife

We had an early meal, with a table looking right out at the beautiful lake. The team serving us were delightful, and checked in casually to be sure all was fine. The filet mignon was delicious, as were the other meals our group of four enjoyed. And a big THANK YOU to Riva for spoiling my husband on his birthday with a tasty cheesecake!!!

Yes - it's a ski town. I get it. But in Vail, Breck or even NC, you can go to the high priced local restaurant and get a steak that is at least edible. Not at Riva. Ask anyone who tried the ribeye last night. Terrible. Just terrible. Service was good and the deck was fine. I think this place should just convert to a bar so they can peddle more of the wet woody.

If I could have given our server “0” stars I would have done it. He was more focused on himself than serving customers.The staff was overwhelmed. Glasses crashed to the ground twice. Utensils crashed to the ground twice and I mean a lot of them. The food was just below average.

Great service to be seated with our large group outside. Waiters pleasant, food on point, great atmosphere.

Elise

Everything was wonderful - from the service to the ambiance outdoors, to the food and the dirty martinis. Perfection!

If you want a lake front experience that's about all you will get. My husband ordered the filet medium and shrimp, it was served very rare still cold in the middle. The bacon wrapped around the steak was also very under cooked. He sent it back and did not want a replacement and they still charged 50% of the meal. I ordered the Cobb salad, which was so gross. Wilted mixed greens, canned olives, and over cook chicken. I would never order food from here again!!! Save your money and only order drinks, food is just gross. I've had a better meal at the airport.

Great meal. Very busy large restaurant but lots of staff to help. Beautiful deck outside to enjoy. Enjoyed it very much.
