The older, male bartender at the outside bar was the rudest person in the food industry I have ever met. He wouldn't take our food order (1 appetizer) because the kitchen was backed up. He said to me "obviously you have never worked in the food industry" when I told him that it would be fine if it takes longer than normal. I watched him berate other customers behind their backs, make snide remarks, and completely ignore guests. This guy is in the wrong industry. We won't ever be back. A shame because the location is really nice.

Good food, parking is ok, but when it gets busy parking tight. Pricing is ok. location is a little weird, off the beaten path, but it's on the river which is cool. This place gets busy..

We sat out under an umbrella but there are a lot of seating choices. Some inside, some outside.

Went out of our way to come here and the entire place is closed for a private event from 11am-2pm on Saturday, Dec 28. Online there is no mention of the closure, which should be on the home page. It currently says, “Special Announcements None at this time.”

Sometimes there just aren’t enough stars! I boated over from Port Charlotte with a load of visitors from up north. The Riviera Bar and Grill did not disappoint! Excellent service by Joan despite being slammed. Great crew from the hostess to the bar staff to the chef and kitchen staff. Great “old Florida” joint!

Food was good but nothing mind blowing. We had the peel and eat shrimp as an appetizer. I had a simple grilled chicken/fries, my partner had the lobster roll and 2 soft drinks to the tune of $90 including tip. Just too expensive for bar food.

I stopped with two friends for a beer and fries. It was very busy and the service was good and the music was excellent. I really enjoyed seeing the snooker hanging out waiting for a stray french fry. Atmosphere was very festive
