About The Riviere ( The Honey Drizzle )

The Riviere (The Honey Drizzle) offers a lively dining experience with its well-seasoned chicken, flavorful grits, and super crispy fish. Known for its energetic atmosphere, the restaurant features a DJ playing the latest hip-hop and R&B music, especially on busy weekend brunch days. Customers can enjoy a variety of dishes, including shrimp and grits, French toast, and the popular chicken and waffles. The shrimp and grits have received mixed reviews, with some finding the Cajun seasoning a bit heavy, but the portion size is decent. The food is generally praised for its flavor and seasoning, with many guests saying the food was great and worth visiting again.

Guests have raved about the pancakes, claiming they are the best ever, with a perfect outside crisp and a melt-in-your-mouth center. Although the sides may seem small for the price, the pancakes are filling. The waffle platter, along with the “best cheesy grits” and a steak and egg sandwich, has also been praised, with the Mac and cheese receiving special mention for its great taste. Customers enjoy the fries, which are served on the house, and the restaurant offers mimosa flights with cute presentations. The friendly servers and great music add to the overall enjoyable experience, which is enhanced by unique events like paint and sip nights with a DJ.

Some visitors note that the inside space is small but nice, and the food is consistently good, prompting repeat visits. The atmosphere is hype and perfect for pre-gaming with food and drinks before heading out. However, the loud music can make conversation difficult, and the sound bounces off the walls, especially when the place isn’t packed. The lamb chops are recommended as a sweet and savory choice. Drinks and some food may take a little time to arrive, and although service is generally attentive, it can slow down at the end of the visit, with delays in getting attention and to-go boxes. Overall, The Riviere is a spot with delicious food and a fun, energetic vibe, especially popular during happy hour on Wednesdays.
