Good gluten free tacos. Good allergy protocol knowledge. Seemed a little overwhelmed at half capacity.

The atmosphere here was contemporary chic as well as cozy with the low lighting. The only reason I rated it lower was because the seating was in between the bar and a small hallway, to the front of the restaurant which made our table a high traffic area (it was a Thursday night with reservation) Oysters (5/5): Biggest oysters I’ve seen in Ottawa for $3.50 a piece! Steak Frites (3/5): quite a thick piece of steak that was great overall. I found the knife dull and wish I had more of the Demi glace. White 6 Pizza (4/5): Made gluten free!

Food was good . Salmon was done excellent. But the service was extremely poor. The only person who really was keen to make our dinner good was the bartender. The waitresses - one was older lady , the other was young one - never brought what was asked . I had to go to the bar to inquire about our order . The older waitress ignored us like were were some kind of beggers from the street , even though we stayed at the hotel. The bartender went beyond his duties to get our order and bring us food. The chef and the barterner made sure my food was gluten free. I would give 5 stars for that.

My wife and I were lucky enough to be strolling by Riviera last night when we noticed the patio was unusually quiet. This place is typically packed. On a whim we stopped and had dinner. The service was very good. We started with a plate of fresh oysters and the best steak tartare I have ever had. It was served with homemade potato chips which suited my gluten intolerance perfectly. We each had a cocktail - mine a whiskey sour (impeccable) and my wife had 'La Dolce Vita' - an upscale nod to the Venetian spritz. For mains my wife had the lobster spaghetti, which she very much enjoyed. A very generous portion of lobster. I had the halibut with morels, fava beans in a wonderful sauce. We each had a glass of wine. The Steak Frites seemed to be a popular dish on the tables around us - though neither of us regretted our selection we both commented that this would have been a great option. A beautiful dinner, with spectacular service. I only give the atmosphere 3 stars due to us being on the patio. Thank you, Riviera. We will definitely be back!

This is one of my 'go to' places downtown. Always a great place to eat, drink and be merry with friends and family. Warm atmosphere. Friendly and helpful efficient staff. Good food and now the menu gives the caloric value of each item. Very helpful for diet conscious folks. I was pleased to find many vegetarian and gluten free options. Great beer selection on tap.
