This review is based on cocktails only. We sat at the bar and had a wonderful time engaging with the bartender and other customers. We tried a couple of new cocktails based on conversations with the bartender and thought they were very well made. Walking by this place, doesn't do justice to the welcoming vibe and comfy atmosphere inside. So glad hubby wondered in and gave us the chance to experience it. Would love to come back and try the food next time. read more

Riviera House is one of those spots you keep a secret... but I have to give them their flowers. We were immediately welcomed by the ambiance and open space (you have the choice to sit fully inside, partially inside with space heaters above to stay consistent temp - great touch, or fully outside on the couches or chairs they have in the sun). We sat in the partial inside section which I would highly recommend. We did make a reservation as well because we had a group of 5. THE FOOD: 10/10... EVERYTHING. We had a good variation of things including steak and eggs, breakfast burrito, berry waffles, strawberry salad, Brussels sprouts, and "make your own chilaquiles"?!?!!! I personally had the steak and eggs which had a bunch of flavor from all the ingredients they added, and a nice touch with the fresh sourdough. Not your typical bland steak and 2 eggs on the side... I also made a point to try every one else's food at my table because it looked so good. I don't give 10/10 ratings lightly, and neither does my family. Especially from my family that can be a bit critical about food. Respectfully. Server Joe was super friendly, checked on us at the perfect times, & accommodated a few requests from the kids we had with us. I'll definitely be back. Thank you to everyone who made this meal feel special. read more

So boom, picture this! My friend and I were wanting to grab a bite to eat after work, and seeking to try a new restaurant. She sent a couple of places , and excited to try them all. However we decided on this place. I already knew the food was going to be good because I frequent this area often! I tried the tuna melt , spicy tuna rice crisper tings, and had two drinks. My friend had the coconut shrimp and shrimp tacos. Our server was extremely attentive and knew her away around the menu for recommendations. If you're in the area and want a bite to eat, please stop by. They won't disappoint you.! P.S. there is meter parking . read more

Spicy tuna crispy rice was just ok. Needs more sesame oil or something. The eggplant dip was ok I was not a fan my sister liked it though . Will come back to try more stuff though a lot of other things look good. Got it all on happy hour prices . Also their website menus and happy hour menus are not up to date read more

Fun pre-Thanksgiving fall day lunch at Riviera House today! My significant other and I were meeting a friend coming from the OC, and looking for a place about halfway, and Riviera House was perfect for us. The space has an "indoor/outdoor" vibe, which we loved. We had reservations and were hoping for outdoor seating. I called when reservations were made and spoke to Sam, who said there should be no issues with the request. Great first impression of the restaurant and staff! We arrived before our friend and were greeted by Neal. He seated us right away, and took care of us through the afternoon and could not have been more accommodating, kind, and fun! Two of us got tuna melts with different sides, and one got the strawberry feta salad with salmon. We all enjoyed our food, along with drinks. The vibe was really fun, and I personally loved the music!! Would love to return when we are back in the area! read more

Super good food, lots of seating but limited parking! Got the breakfast burrito and it was massive! Really liked the potatoes it came with. My group also got the poke nachos to share which was also good but the poke to chip ratio was a little off. Still a nice place to get brunch though :) read more

We were looking for a place not far from the Coast Botanical Gardens and that took reservations as we were a party of 7. Riviera House hit the mark. Service was great with a primary wait person attending to us but a whole team of people helping serve and cleanup. The setting was nice with open air and a street side patio. Parking on the street was scarce but there is a big pay to park lot just a block away. Food was good! We shared the eggplant dip appetizer and it was served with delicious bread. I enjoyed the California Benedict with a nice mound of shrimp. I felt the hollandaise sauce was a little skimpy but they brought me extra. The rosemary potatoes on the side are delicious! The rest of the table had a variety of items including the breakfast burrito, chicken & waffles, triple berry French toast, avocado toast, clam chowder, tuna stacks and the basic eggs with bacon. Everyone enjoyed their meal. We had several drinks; I had the white sangria, which was served with crushed ice (think sonic ice) tasted great but it was a lot of ice and not much Sangria -- my only disappointment. The cost, including tax and tip was about $35-40 per person. We would return if in the area. read more

I must like it here as I've been about 30 times Everyone has an off night. I was seated in an area with a waitress I hadn't seen before. Oh my, it was the start of a bad night They forgot the salad. But the table next to us has a special request for the salad which they completely messed up also. Then I Thought I'd try their seafood tower. At $59 I was disappointed. 6 small oyster , 6 shrimp and ceviche. You'll want to pass on this one And the bar staff must have been busy as I didn't get my drink until after the entree was finished. Oh well. It happens. I will make sure to get seated with wait staff I know. My recommendation: go for the happy hour selections. Super good food, quality and value Still a good vibe. read more

I made an online reservation for Mother's Day two weeks ago. When I arrived today, the hostess implied that the indoor dining room was full and that our only options were to sit outside or in a corner right next to the entrance. When I questioned why we were being given these options despite having a reservation, the hostess was extremely rude. She claimed I should have added notes to my reservation or called ahead to request an indoor table. However, the online system doesn't even offer an option to choose between indoor or outdoor seating. She essentially blamed me for not requesting an indoor table in advance. At the time, there were two or three unoccupied tables inside. I assumed they were assigned to other parties, so rather than making a scene, I agreed to sit outside even though it was very windy. By the time we finished eating and paid the bill, those tables were still vacant; in fact, our waitress even took a break and sat in one of the booths! I mentioned this to another waiter who was filling in. He was very sympathetic and admitted he was confused as to why so many customers were seated outside while the inside remained empty. He ended up comping our two drinks and said he would notify the manager. Aside from the hospitality of that one waiter, my experience at Riviera House was horrible. The hostess clearly needs additional training on how to properly manage table assignments and, more importantly, how to communicate with guests professionally. To top it off, the food wasn't even that good. I generally never leave reviews, but I felt like I had to document how this experience ruined our Mother's Day celebration. read more

Great service and decent food. With an elevated casual atmosphere. We went to Happy Hour (3:30-6:00 Daily). The drinks were good, the one thing I'd recommend from their Appetizers were the Spicy Tuna Stack; they were bite size and very flavorful. read more

I love Riviera house. The food and drinks are delicious. Maddie took care of us tonight and was incredible! She is such an asset, was so personable and kind, and really went above and beyond for us. I'll be coming back because of her! read more

This is probably one of the best midday happy hour spots in Riviera village of Redondo beach. You can sit outside or inside here, it's never too busy and it's just giving you nice beach town vibes that are clean. There are a ton of different happy hour food specials, and drink specials and taco Tuesday specials and different daily specials. Today we got asada fries and we clean the plate. These things were spectacular. Highly recommend. read more

A returning customer driving from SFV, of MANY years (pre Covid era and during), and the food is always on point. Friendly servers, good vibes (brunch, lunch, dinner) even on windy days! They have outdoor patio which is enjoyable, it feels like you're on the beach even though you're a couple blocks away. Drinks are good, I always have tequila or mezcal based, and I can't say I've had one I didn't like. If I were a local, this would be my go-to! Highly suggest. read more

My husband and I started dining here just before lock down happened and were absolutely devastated to think we wouldn't be able to eat here during the pandemic but they opened their doors and would pull together our favorite jar batched cocktails for us. The Army Navy and #19 is what kept us going for months through lock down. Their staff was always so accommodating and still is every time we walk in to this day. Staff has changed but the service has remained steadfast. The food and drinks are always superlatively on point. Some of our favorite dishes are the Chowder Tots, Crispy Brussel sprouts, Ahi Poke Nacho's and the Cali Sandwich is my husband's favorite. The restaurant is very accommodating for my kids as well, they love the cheese burgers. I love the bright, airy, beach vibe that flows with its natural habitat. read more

This is one of my favorite restaurants. The server was super friendly and she was very familiar with the menu. I had a great night and would definitely recommend it. She even took a picture. Fast personal friendly service thank you Maddy and John for a great night. read more

I highly recommend coming to Riviera House. Joe was our waiter and he treated us like family! The food is amazing!

Small corner restaurant that offer some of the typical items most other restaurants have. We started with a bowl of Clam chowder that was ok, flavor was just ok,it had more Potatoes and not enough of Can Clams, not fresh. Coconut Shrimp was ok, the shrimp was dark in color not the golden color we are use to, might have been due to old cooking oil that wasn't changed. The Hot and spicy Margarita was not bad. Will try again in near future. read more

This rating is only for their double smash burger. It's the best one I've ever had. Better than proudly serving. Order it with the truffle fries, you will not be disappointed I've tried a few other items off their menu and I give it a 3.5 / 5. But the burger on the other hand-- incredible. read more

Every time I come here, I have a great experience with delicious food and amazing drinks. On my most recent visit, I came specifically for a drink I loved before, but I couldn't remember the name. I described it to a few staff members, and while they tried their best, it wasn't until the bartender came over that we figured it out. I pulled up a photo on my phone, and she immediately recognized it and made it for me perfectly. I really appreciated how the entire staff went out of their way to help me track down that drink...it was absolutely worth it. Not only are the drinks and staff exceptional, but the food is consistently great as well. Highly recommend! read more

Came in for Sunday brunch and hoping to get bottomless mimosas. We came in around 12:30, the server told us they're out of mimosas. Strange. How does that happen. Anyways, I ordered the Scallywag cocktail which was incredibly delicious and better than a mimosa. The chicken and waffles was so flavorful. Comes with uniquely crafted butter and spicy sauce. I really enjoyed that they used chicken breast instead of thigh and it was juicy! read more

Love the ambiance, food and chill vibe! All the seats are good and staff is friendly.

The service was the best part. Food was ok. I love spicy but the spicy sandwich tasted Cajun with little spice. I got Brussel sprouts with my sandwich and the balsamic vinegar on them was great. My hubby had the smash burger with truffle fries which were the best part by far, burger was just okay very wet. The place was nice, very cute, nice air flow . read more

Fun restaurant in a cute little neighborhood. Friendly staff. They have a vast array of specialty cocktails, however they're all on the tarty side. Even drinks like the MaiTai were no that sweet. The food is top notch. The chilled seafood platter was a good starter with fresh oysters, large shrimp, and ceviche. The truffle fries were nice and thick and flavorful. The sea bass with risotto was excellent. My friends got the salmon entree, the scallops, the salmon sandwich, and the Picanha steak and loved all of them. read more

My husband and I have come to the Riviera House a few times and ordered the clam chowder and string beans tempura appetizer. Both excellent. Recently we ordered the Brussels sprouts appetizer. We thought the preparation flavor was somewhat overpowering. Sometimes less is better. The restaurant has both inside and outside patio seating. We like to sit in one of the booths and enjoy a pleasant leisurely lunch. Service is attentive without hovering. read more

My boyfriend and I had never been here before, and thought we'd give it a try, as I was craving fish tacos and they had them on the menu. After waiting for the hostess to seat several other people, we took a table at her direction, outside on the street section. Go ahead, sit there. Ok. As I started to sit, the hostess suddenly warns my bf that the seats are wet. Too late, I've already sat down... and now my butt is sopping wet. She comes back with some towels and mops up my bf's seat first (of course). As she attempts to wipe off my chair, she lifts it up and inadvertently puts it down on my toe... causing a serious yelp of pain from me. Ok, now I'm slightly maimed and my butt is still sopping wet. Then we wait. And wait, and wait for someone to come take our order. Finally! Ok, so I'll have an ice tea and the fish tacos. BF will have a bloody mary and fish and chips. Oh... yeah, Waiter" says... uh, no fish tacos". Huh? It's the BEACH. Everyone in town has fish tacos. It says right on the menu... FISH TACOS. He explains that they just aren't serving them cuz it's still brunch (at 2 p.m.). Well, where on the menu does it say that???? (it didn't, FYI). And if you are serving tuna melts, why can't you slap some fish in a tortilla? WTF. Ok fine. He says he'll go get our drinks while we mull over new choices. 10 minutes goes by... 15 minutes goes by. Now my patience has gone bye-bye. We decided to leave and go across the street to another restaurant. As we we left, sure enough, waiter comes with drinks. My bf said sorry dude... you took too long. Waiter... yep, I get it. As it turned out, we had a fabulous meal across the street with great service and amazing fish tacos. read more

The menu has a wide variety of selections depending on your hunger level. The appetizers are plenty for me , sometimes...and of course an adult beverage. The very polite servers always know there restaurant selections and can answer any of your questions. I like the ambience, with the open patio area..but, one can sit at the bar and at inside tables. read more

Wow! We love Riviera House! So glad we gave it another chance! This is our new favorite neighborhood spot for Craft Cocktails and a bite. The staff is super friendly and talented...Sam, Max, and John are Amazing! The food is so delicious in a beautiful open air atmosphere. We enjoy the Cocktail Tiger Prawns, Tempura Green Beans, Seabass, Scallops, Happy Hour BBQ Pork Ribs and so much more... During the week, there are fun menus and specials. The tacos are great on Taco Tuesday. Whiskey Wednesday is when the staff chooses a whiskey on special for $12. Tiki Thursday serves a $10 Tiki Burger and 25% off Tiki Cocktails. Outstanding quality Cocktails, Food, and Service! read more

Yep. This is the place to be. Excellent food, cold beer, and cool specialty drinks. Great atmosphere both inside and out. My girl and I each had the smashburger. She protein style and I on a bun. They were full of fresh goodness. Not too sloppy, but you'll still get a chance to lick the fingers. I know, etiquette dictates that napkins should be used, but how fun is that! I mean, I wasn't wearing a tuxedo, and besides there weren't any finger bowls. So on to the tongue they went. As they should be. The beer helped that along for sure. The servers at Riviera are very friendly. Ours was exceptionally so. She handled our party of five flawlessly. All the while with a smile. Do yourself a favor, stop in for a smile and a meal. Both are worth the price of admission. Quick Tip: Though there is a fair amount of parking in the vicinity, it can get swallowed up quickly. Be patient, and try to resist complaining that the Covid expansion of the restaurants, still in place, are taking up most of the street parking. read more

Great brunch spot. Great food and a nice ambiance. One of my dad's favorite places for Sunday brunch!

Riviera house is a restaurant that makes me glad that I live in Southern California . While we live in the country second largest city in the United State. I feel like I could be in Lahaina in Maui. We went there at sunset and the ambience was incredible. Riviis one of those places where the servers know your name and make you feel very welcome. We had the seafood platter and it made me feel like I was in the south of France having the tower of seafood. The large shrimp and ceviche was delicious. We also had an order of the truffle fries. The Kumamoto oysters were incredible too. The bartender gave us a heavy pour on our drinks. read more

We had dinner at Riviera House and it was a very nice. The restaurant was very clean. Service was excellent and everyone was very friendly. I ordered a drink not listed on the menu and it was just okay. The salmon was excellent. The steak was a little too fatty for my taste and probably would not order it again. We also had the Truffle fry's which were so good they seemed to vanish before I could take a photo. Not sure the kids would find something they liked, we only saw 1 child and I think he was related to the owner but I am not sure. I would say it was a more adult friendly place than a kid friendly place. But I did not ask for a kids menu so they might have one. read more

Highly recommend the brunch! We have been twice and everything was great. Both visits we came with a group of 7, including kids and a vegetarian. They had great options for both, (note: no kids' menu, but they will list options upon request). If you're looking for a cocktail, their bartender makes a great French 75 - delicious and refreshing! read more
