Scallops arrived at the table and looked good served over risotto. Cut into the first one and noticed it was a bit rare. Second one, even worse. Friend next to me had same exact issue. We sent back the scallops as they were just too undercooked and raw in the center for our liking. Clearly, I wasn't only one at the table who was disappointed.
Server returned, said that the chef asked what temperature we wanted them. I've had a lot of scallops cooked for me and never been asked that! My answer; I want them cooked. Not overdone, not raw. Cooked!
Second time one of the two scalloos came back edible and one was still undercooked. I just gave up. Good thing I wasn't paying for the dinner because I would have asked the server to take the meal off the bill.
My other dining partner ordered filet medium rare but the middle of the steak was rare. Very rare. He didn't complain or send it back but only ate the cooked portions and left a lot in the plate. He was not pleased. None of us were.
Overall, this is an expensive place on South Lake Tahoe with a great view for Al fresco dining during warmer weather.
The service was good and our server was very prompt and but other than having a drink or two on the deck, I probably wouldn't eat here again based on my experience. It's supposed to be a higher end restaurant and I shouldn't have to deal with these issues with a bunch of friends at dinner.

Great location by the lake. Recommended for its large menu. Very quiet on arrival. Good choice of food, server was initially quite good but when asked to heat up the bisque some more became rude & even asked if we tasted it. Downhill regarding the server's attitude after that. Pity.

We came here on Easter Sunday. Even though prime rib is usually only available on Friday and Saturday, we were pleasantly surprised to be able to order it because of the holiday. The prime rib was excellent. So was the steamed clams and ribeye. We would come back.

If you’re in Tahoe, you have to go to Riva Grill’s happy hour and sit next to the window. The views of the lake are gorgeous! We ordered the ahi poke tuna (already half eaten in the second photo), pomegranate glazed pork ribs, and margarita pesto pizza and it was all fantastic, so flavorful, and yummy! Service was fast and the server was so nice. My pomegranate martini was also delicious, highly recommend. 5/5 very impressed - especially during happy hour! Love that they had discounts on appetizers, pizzas and drinks (everything we ordered was on happy hour)!

It's the view you are going for. The pasta was good, my salmon tower was dry and overly tart with the chimichuri loaded on top. The salad was meh for $16 with walnuts/mixed greens and dressing... Appletini was good and overall average food with a great view. So if you want to spend over $60+ per person and a great view, go ahead. A few blocks inland, there are much better food choices.

Fairly large restaurant and bar with big windows overlooking Lake Tahoe. Definitely sit upstairs for better views (and a bit more quiet). The food was good. We had a Ruben and the meat was tender and lean, and the marble rye was nice. We also had a crab sandwich, and it was fresh and on a nice roll (a little pricey - $30, but it's not like Lake Tahoe is overflowing with seafood ????). The host was somewhat disorganized. We called to see if we needed a reservation and they bluffed us, stating they were pretty full. We got there about ten minutes later and only a quarter of the tables were full. Overall though, our server was attentive.

This is a very pretty place to drink at , if you want to eat delicious food this is NOT the place , the French onion bisque was practically onions and water , I would say the garlic bread was more like cheese bread from Little Caesar’s except the cheese bread from Little Caesar’s actually tastes good. There also was a big stem in the Caesar salad :( The best part of this whole meal was the free breadsticks they give out.

Very nice place to eat. Food and service are good. It is a big and hoppin' place on busy nights, but they still manage to put out very nice offerings. The views are fantastic! It will cost you to eat and drink here but the offerings are good.

Good food with nice view of Lake Tahoe. Service a little slow,I believe young lady had too many tables. Atmosphere was good ,just quite loud since bar is not separated from dining room. We had to listen to loud drunks, swearing about what a good time they were having. I realize it's a ski town but a little too much cussing made our $150 lunch less compfortable.

The food is good, the atmosphere is what makes this place. Try the woody flight. It's worth it! This place has a room for events like birthdays or reception dinners.

I had a relaxing lunch at Riva Grill before driving back to SF. You can’t beat the location right on the lake, and my table by the window had great views. My server Mike could not have been nicer or more helpful. He did a great job. The Prime Rib French dip (which Mike recommended) was excellent.

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.

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!

Service: From experience the service has been great it could be better. Not all staff are friendly all the time but our server was super awesome this visit. He was on top of everything and he kept checking on us.
Food: We weren’t too hungry so we ordered from small bites or appetizer section of the menu (which still looked like regular serving).
I love Poke I was excited for the Ahi Poke Stack. The poke is delicious but was disappointed with the sticky rice. It was super cold and undercooked. I did return it and they gave me a new one but the rice was the same. Thank you to our server we got comped for the Ahi Poke, I didn’t ask for it so it was a nice surprise! We ordered the Dungeness Crab Sandwich, Soup, Garlic Bread, dessert and for the home stretch we got cocktails and wine!
