RIVA GRILL ON THE LAKE

We dined here for my husbands 40th birthday. We sat in the bar area so we could participate in Fish Taco Fridays, which was such a fun concept and a lot of fun (even though the table next to us won all the prizes). Our waitress Kaitlin was AMAZING. Super personable, attentive, kind and gave us a ton of local recommendations of things to do and see in the area our first time. Her recommendations literally made our trip! The food was phenomenal. Huge portions and lots of flavor. My husband got the prime rib which was massive and cooked exactly how he wanted it. I got the mushroom risotto with chicken, which was good, but a little heavily seasoned in my opinion and the tomatoes were a weird addition. We split the lobster deviled eggs which were so unique, but delicious!! The French onion soup was so tasty and was unique in that the croutons weren’t completely soggy, the crust still had some crunch! Their menu was extensive and ranged from sandwiches/salads to steaks, seafood and chicken dishes. My husband had a Wet woody, which was very good. They had a huge list of these slushy liquor drinks, “Wet Woodys”which was fun. The concept felt out of place for the environment of the restaurant, but I bet it fits just well in the summer when the patio is open and it’s hot outside! I had an espresso martini and it was amazing! 10/10 would recommend this place for a nice dinner or special occasion dinner.

Awesome view of Lake Tahoe from the dinning area!!!

All i can say is amazing

Riva Grill is a great restaurant to enjoy with views of Lake Tahoe! It has a nice rustic, mountain ambiance with beautiful views of the water and excellent service. The food was delicious, particularly the Lobster Bisque soup. They offer specialty cocktails for something unique. Definitely a place to go back to!
