Riveria has a very good menu. The meals are well prepared and tasty. There is an open-air patio that overlooks the beach. The restaurant has a relaxed vibe. The staff are very friendly and professional.

Tom was a very gracious host, especially for the time we came for breakfast! (7:00am) he was sociable asking where we were in town from. He also offered me and my significant other to stay as long as we wanted since we weren’t able to check into our stay until 2 PM.My orange juice was pretty watered down unfortunately. The oatmeal was also diluted with plenty of oat milk.Nonetheless, the atmosphere within this establishment is absolutely beautiful for breakfast! We took a red eye flight across the country and had a reservation for Rivera, the view during breakfast was incredible!

The sweetest place ever thank you so much Riviera. My friends and I were visiting for spring break and we were lost. They had the kindest workers assist us in our journey. Thank you so much we wouldn't have had this experience without you.

AhhhMazing! Every single employee has been helpful, outgoing and downright delightful. Came here for brunch and back for dinner. The food, while on the higher price point, does Not disappoint and is presented with love whether eating in or taking to go. Beautiful seaside seating indoors and out, couches with fire pits as well! Pop in if you're walking by and If you are staying at the Maren, you won't ever want to leave

Terrible customer service. Waiter totally ignored us while serving other guest around us. We sat there for more than 20 mins without coming over. We decided to leave as we were walking out he sarcastically said "bye ladies". Spoke to the manager who apologized for the waiter poor customer service behavior. However, our experience was already ruined.

Good service. This said, No water because there was no cups? Fatty steak and everything was cold.

The staff were wonderful, while they were covering multiple areas with a limited team they were fantastic. The food however was underwhelming from prior reviews and frankly the price point. The meatballs were highly recommended but were under seasoned. We had the crab cakes and sadly they were one note. The crab was under seasoned and over cooked. The red snapper special was decent, the fish was properly cooked. The salad which accompanied was nice, the dressing was a high point.

I was shocked when I saw what the restaurant looked like. The pictures are very deceiving. They don't show that it's just off the lobby and all that traffic. No ambiance no wow factor. It looks like a part of the hotel lobby, where they serve the free breakfast buffet in the morning. The bar itself is beautiful, but there's no wow factor when you're sitting at your table. Too bright, to Baron, too sterile. The print on the drink menu is so small, I joked with my waiter and he said yes that's been a problem. My wife's $17 drink which was an old-fashioned was very good, but very small. My two tequila drinks were not very good. The waiter made a big fuss about the meatballs, they were good, but not excellent, and for the size they were very expensive. We did enjoy the Mediterranean salad. The menu is very limited, I was expecting a nice restaurant with lots of choices of different dishes, including different seafood, there's essentially three items listed under the entrées, I tried the seafood fra diavolo, and was appalled The waiter told me I would be very happy about the large amount of fresh seafood. They were the smallest muscles I've ever seen, with no meat inside at all and the clams in the dish with the smallest I've ever seen. The squid/octopus was hard and chewy. I did enjoy the pasta and the sauce. My wife's snapper was reasonable, but nothing special. Last, but at least the waiter raved about their homemade Keylime pie, and how amazing it was. It was a thin slice of pie, maybe the size of a small coffee, cup saucer, with a ton of whip cream on top. Tasty, but very disappointing on how much it was for such a small Piece of pie. It's kind of a mixture of a place where you get the free breakfast when you stay at the best, Western, or place when you're at the beach you go for sandwiches, fries, and a burger. Judging by the pictures I saw on yelp, I thought it would be an elegant, sophisticated Italian seafood place, it is certainly not. Don't let the photos fool you, you're just off the lobby with all the traffic right there It was our Valentine's Day date, and just so disappointing There is a photo on yelp of my pasta dish I ordered. My dish LOOKED nothing like the photo. I have never been served such small muscles or clams.
Certainly not ready for prime time!! Waiter and manager great . Food was good but didn't have act together! Even hotel staff subpar.. told parking would be $45 hr.... Not so , & parking$10 with valid stamp

Food: we ordered chicken with broccolini, Mediterranean salad with shrimp, house red wine, passion fruit mocktail, and pistachios sorbet. Everything was great and tasty! I only recommend getting salad dressing on the side and adding it by yourself.Service: we have had a great gentleman sever—fast and polite service.Pricing: medium price range.Atmosphere: stylish design with indoor and outdoor seating options.

My husband and I enjoyed our Friday date night at Riveria! The food was very fresh and high quality, he got the filet and I got the fruitti de mare which had squid ink pasta, both were delicious! Our waiter was courteous, he offered a tasting of a Chablis wine that I was considering. Great place for a classy yet chill date night!
The food was good so I'll give props to the kitchen, but service and bar was terrible. The server's attitude was awful and even said “I'll complain about it for you it that's what your asking” when a guest stated they didn't like their drink. In the two and a half hours we were there we only managed to get two rounds of drinks even though the place was nearly empty(I guess most people have already had this bad experience.) Not to mention the bar was out of several things we asked for, I find it hard to believe in this day and age we can't seem to keep a stocked bar with things that are on the menu. We also asked our server about a gluten free option for the pasta and were told of its availability, turns out, they were out of that too. Over all terrible dining experience at a location that has more potential than they know what to do with.
