Beautiful food. Great views great service
Great Friday night good views friendly staff & awesome fireplaces & sensational office Xmas dinner
This place has changed a lot, the music has changed to more modern duf duf and could barely be heard over people talking. I won't be rushing back here on a Sunday night
Amazing setting on the water. Great place for families during the day with a good kids menu, friendly and helpful staff.
Its hard to find a restaurant where everything comes together for the perfect experience. But Riva is it.
The staff are very friendly and offered suggestions on meals.
For entree we ordered seared scallops with Asian tasting plate (the duck spring rolls are fantastic, I would die happy if i had a large plate of those) and antipasto tasting plate. Everything was very fresh and perfectly cooked.
For mains we ordered Cuban Chicken (chicken perfectly cooked and very well balanced) and Bulgogi Duck (Honestly this is simply the finest plated duck I've ever eaten).
You know that feeling of complete satisfaction after eating an amazing meal? Come here to experience it!
Beautiful view of the bay with nice food and very professional & friendly staff.
Very rude owner, tried organising an event of around 18 people as I saw great reviews about this place, however when calling up to see if they were available the owner was reluctant and rude over the phone as he wasn't sure if it could be done therefore he will call the next day to let us know. When he called back the next day he told us that they were not open on Tuesday/wednesdays until after the footy grand final. Find it funny that he couldn't just say that in the first place, instead of letting us know the next day. Such a shame when st kilda is such a vibrant place with places like these not letting a small event happen.
was there last year, little over priced for the poorer people to afford
Went there on a sunday early afternoon and left at midnight cause the had entertainment and dancing
i Hope they still have sundays dj and bandish music. The crowds were great no trouble and were friendly to talk to
Not a bad feed when you just don't feel like going home to cook after a day in the office.
Performed at a wedding ceremony and reception at Riva in January. Awesome location and awesome venue. Staff were very helpful on the day.
I've heard multiple reports of how badly they treat their staff. Underpaying, not feeding staff not even allowing them to eat leftovers! Also they don't property hire people, and don't insure their workers. I'm thinking of reporting them to the relevant authorities. Avoid if you care about ethical hospitality.
Very disappointed, had a booking for good Friday. Confirmed on Thursday evening. Caught a cab from Glen Waverley to St Kilda only to find everything closed. Obviously not enough business for you to stay open and not enough professional curtesy to inform booked patrons.
THANK GOD FOR DONIVANS. Could of been a very ordinary Good Friday had they not accommodated us at such short notice.they will receive my business in the future.
TOTALY UNPROFESSIONAL REVA
Held function here. Terrible right from the start. Very hot night and No aircon, noisy fans. Opened balcony doors to let breeze in meant listening to drunkards yahooing and motorbikes racing all night. Room is upstairs with no disabled access/lift. Staff couldn't care less, very poor service. Didn't even introduce themselves at the start of the night. Not once were we asked if we needed anything. No microphone/ speakers for projector. Food was pretty average. Won't be back.
Cracking day for Australia Day 2017 Rock Royalty. Went the VIP option with the family. Staff were all helpfully and friendly. Food was excellent. Drinks were cold. Plenty of free bottled water continually distributed on the decks and on the green.
Music wise 'Outstanding'.
Best Day
