This place is absolutely amazing! I had to change my reservation due to a trip delay, and they had no issue with it and responded in a timely manner. When I arrived, I was seated right away by the friendliest hostess I've ever met! My waitress greeted me immediately and asked my preference for water (sparkling or still). She was patient during my indecisiveness about my wine choice, and offered to let me try one. If the service was great, the food was EXCELLENT. I got the prime rib of beef cooked medium rare. It was perfectly cooked, amazingly seasoned, and the best I've ever had. The veggies were crisp without being raw and the wine was a great addition. The only thing I didn't like was the potatoes because they had a weird flavor to me. Overall, 10/10 highly recommend for the ambiance, the food, the service, and the location! read more

Good experience here all around. Well except for their webpage to make a reservation. That was finicky. So I called and left a message. I received a call back and they very nice. The menu is on smaller side but still plenty of options. Seem to have nightly specials. We ordered duck and wild rice soup which was very good. Also salmon and farmers pasta (market veggies). Both were excellent. Pasta was slightly spicy which I wasn't expecting. I had to ask for the garlic bread but that was no problem. Finished off with bananas foster crème brûlée. Yummy. I loved that they had wine flights. I had the Chardonnay flight. read more

There's a sign out that they have the best chef....no lie detected! I had no clue there was going to be such amazing food around Glenwood Springs! And quality and atmosphere to match high-end large city expectations such as this place. The Riviera has a cozy, soft-lit, warmer setting which I love. Awesome nooked tables in the bar area. The menu has some high quality offerings with some twists. You can get steak everywhere- BUT BEEF WELLINGTON?? This was a truly spectacular dish. Amazing flavor, perfect flaky crust, and unbelievably tender, melt-in-your-mouth steak. They were gracious to do a split plate with lovely presentation (wish I had just ordered my own!) Backing it up, the burrata app was a great starter. We lucked in on a Wednesday where they have 1/2 priced wine, and our bartender gave us a great suggestion as well as top service the whole meal. Wish I lived closer to frequent this place! read more

We were on a Train trip across the US and this restaurant punches way above its weight. This is the best meal we had even over places in Chicago and San Francisco. It was very creative food, served by people who seemed to be proud of the place. The pride was deserved. Everything we had was delicious, especially the "Jumbo Roasted Garlic" which was really an assortment of things to assemble with the Garlic. It was amazing, if a bit messy to eat. The portobello Mushrooms with Balsamic were also excellent. If we are ever back in town we will stop here again!! read more

Cool place with an awesome bartender. Ask for more complicated cocktails cuz he loves to make em! Duck confit was terrific as were the truffle fries and brussel sprouts. We also ordered the beef wellington. They were very good but not fantastic. It's a complicated dish and making it for so many across hours of service can create rubbery pate, and undercooked pastry. Mine was very good but pastry was a bit undercooked. Hubby had rubbery pate. The veggies that come along with the wellington were outstanding. The struggle was the service. There was one waiter for the entire place. This created forgotten orders (never got our caeser salad, had to remind him we ordered Brussel sprouts, and never got our coffee with our dessert). They need an additional server front of house and probably an extra busser to help with food delivery, drinks, etc. I would go back. And give it another chance as everyone working there was really nice and working hard. The space is also relaxing and welcoming. read more

Decided to splurge and come to the #1 restaurant in Glenwood according to TripAdvisor. Was it worth the hype? I'm not sure. The white truffle fries were meh. The fries were not fried well, some could have been fried better. My pan seared salmon with white wine and butter sauce was good. The salmon cooked perfectly with a nice sear. The chili in the salad added a nice spice to the meal. The carrot puree was nice and rich. His beef stroganoff was average. He said he'd had better. Which is surprising since he doesn't usually say anything about his meal. Restroom was clean. It was a little dark in the restaurant. Some of the lights went off while we were dining and the bulb above us burned out and didn't come back on. Would I come again? I'm not sure. I might to have the salmon again but it's pricey and he didn't love his meal. Street parking, read more

Riviera Scratch Kitchen is one of the best restaurants in Glenwood Springs. We live a few hours away, and it is a must whenever we visit the area. Reservations highly recommended. 5/5 experience last weekend. We had the beef stroganoff (we always order it) and the shaved prime rib sammich. Everything was delicious with complimentary, robust flavors! The only thing I would suggest to the restaurant is a horseradish sauce for the sammich. Our server was pleasant and professional. The inside was cozy. Highly recommend. read more

We showed up at 8:25 on Wednesday June 10th and the hostess said kitchen was closed. The hours should reflect you no longer seat people at 8:25 not that you close at 9pm. This is a tourist town and I give this place a big no go. Disappointing. read more

The food, oh, the taste! Had the sliced prime rib sandwich and fries. The meat was like shredded beef in an amazing sauce. It's all about the sauce. I also asked for fry sauce, and the sandwich made with light and homemade bread and scratch au jus - not beef broth but sauce! And - wait for it - homemade ketchup that was incredible! The only thing I would have done differently would be to get ice water, not warm. And had I know ahead of time- they have beef Wellington!! It says allow 30 minutes to prepare, but had I known - we would have waited. Go, and thank me during every bite!! read more

We were happy to get a reservation, since it is a busy place. Service was very good, the waiter and others were attentive and professional. We both got the prime rib and both were cooked as we requested, and both looked great. However, they weren't seasoned very well, and the crust was very plain. Au jus was similarly very plain. Assuming it was an off night but we expected way better on the touted-up prime rib. Cocktails were well done, and ambiance was cool. read more

What an awesome restaurant. Do you ever make dinner an experience? Those are my favorite kinds of meals and Riviera was definitely an experience to remember. A client lives in the area and recommended that we try Riviera. Last time we were in town it was on the list but we went elsewhere. This time we struck gold. We didn't have reservations so we awaited our table at the bar. It was an excellent people-watching and meeting experience and the drinks were plentiful and well made. Once at the table, we were treated to an excellent serving and dining experience. Dinner with friends who appreciate good food and company is always enjoyable. A few cocktails and bottles of wine make it even more enjoyable. But that is only part of it. The roasted garlic and brussels sprouts appetizers were stellar. That garlic was so delicious that I could have eaten it for my meal. I wanted the actual prime rib but they were out because we waited so long to order and had consumed so many bottles of wine. Their next best recommendation was the shaved prime rib sandwich. Hell yes! Maybe it was all the wine or maybe it was just that good but I devoured that sandwich. The side of fries was a perfect accompaniment. Make sure and ask for that addition. Note: I do not remember when we went but I just found my receipt. It was some special half-off wine day. Whatever you do, go that day. It will be worth it. This place is great. Make it a full night and it will be one to remember for a long time. read more

So disappointing. Two years ago we had a wonderful anniversary dinner there. This year, our thirty-fifth wedding anniversary we came back. mistake. the chef must have moved on. worse was the unhospitable hostess. I asked that my salmon be prepared as rare as possible. It was well done (and I don't mean in a good way). I asked for some lemon (to make it more palatable) - none came. Don't get me started on my wife's order. It was a slow Thursday, so go figure. read more

I spent the weekend near Glenwood with my mom. I treated her to a get away and wanted to take her to a really good restaurant. Riviera Scratch kitchen did NOT disappoint! We started with the burrata and the sweet and spicy brussel sprouts. My oh my!! They call this place scratch kitchen, because they literally make most everything from scratch. That which they cannot make they locally source. It's a great concept! The burrata was so perfectly creamy and the roasted red pepper pesto paired so well with the pine nuts - truly a match made in heaven! The sprouts were amazingly crispy and flavorful and the housemade BBQ - let's just say we wanted to drink it! We shared the beet salad. I wanted to try the beef wellington, however, sadly, they were out. So mom and I both opted for the Five Spice Duck Leg Confit. And Honestly, I'm kind of glad they were out of the wellington. I practically liked the bowl clean. The Tahini and carrot puree was .... SO GOOD!! and the sweet and sour chutney complemented the duck so well! This dish is a solid 5/5 on it's own!! Neither of us "needed" dessert, but we split the peach and blueberry pie - which was excellent as well. Super flaky crust and the filling not too sweet. The perfect ending to a perfect meal! If you are in the area, I highly recommend Riviera Scratch Kitchen - *insert chef's kiss here* Delicioso!! read more

Ate here with my Mother for Christmas week vacation. My waiter, Torin, recommended their Roasted Garlic appetizer and it was incredible! He recommended one of their more rare specials, Duck Confit, for dinner and I could not believe how yummy it and it's accompanying Risotto was! Duck was so perfectly cooked it literally fell off the bones! He also recommended a delicious second cocktail that paired well with it. Finished with a tasty Crème Brûlée with crushed peppermint, although the chunks of peppermint did not complement as well as the finer powder. Torin was so kind, attentive and charismatic. I really liked the darker lighting the dining room had as well. One of the best meals of my life!! Treat yourself well and check this place out!!! read more

**Your comment Travis, makes no sense! "Argued" hahah what?! I never argued with you.... I think you're confusing me with someone else! I did ask you if we can sit outside and you said it's reserved and I nicely said ok. We'll wait no problem! So we waited 45 min for a table.... And then waited 20 minutes for water when others got seated AFTER us and got water and drinks! Unacceptable. Should have left! Gosh.......Didn't start out very good at all. We sat there prob longer than 20 min before someone came over to us to even give us water, water! But the waitress went over to other tables that got seated after us! I almost walked out... prob should have. That's insane! Also, Ordered a salad once we got our food and we never got it... food was good but service wow. U guys need some practice.... would not go back here... read more

The beef stroganoff was one of the best things I've had in Colorado. I will literally come back just for that. I am scared to think about a world where I ordered something other than that. Waitress was super knowledgeable and helped us pick our entrees and we were so happy with our choices. The egg roll appetizer was also amazing! read more

We went Saturday night for our anniversary and I have to say I was a little disappointed, especially for the price. The staff just felt very chaotic and we felt forgotten about as a table. It took way longer than it should have to get our first round of drinks. We ordered the beef Wellington knowing there would be a wait - which was fine. We also ordered the salmon. Both to split. We're huge beef Wellington fans and have been to Hell's Kitchen in Vegas where Gordon Ramsay's Wellington js out of this world. This one fell super flat. I'm not sure what type of meat was used but it didn't slice like butter like I thought it should. The way they cut the puff pastry was also strange. They sliced the Wellington in half - fine. But there was a cut in the pastry (probably prior to baking) which just caused it all to fall off when you would cut a bite.. it was a mess to eat. I did enjoy the veggies and mashed potatoes. The salmon was good, the carrot purée was really the star though. The dish was lacking something. read more

Service was off, food was delicious. Sitting outside in the wind was okay, although alarming at moments.

We left when the disinterested bartender threw down his less-than-eager go-somewhere-else attitude. We did.

We ate here on Wednesday night and it was one of those special flavor experiences I just had to write a review for. I had duck confit with risotto and Brussel sprouts and it was absolutely perfect.

The Riviera Supper Club and Scratch Kitchen stands apart from any other Western Colorado restaurant in many wonderous ways. This is a fine dining establishment not by way of elegant aesthetic or unreasonably high price point, but simply as a byproduct of quality ingredients being prepared at such a high caliber of proficiency. The entire vibe and atmosphere matches this point, towing the line remarkably well between classy and unpretentious. Suit jackets and high heels dine comfortably next to tee-shirts and sneakers here. This is as accessible and inclusive as high-end eating gets. Indeed the very nature of running a true one hundred percent scratch kitchen enhances this fact. Everything from the sausage to the pesto and ketchup is prepared fresh by the talented chef and his crew. This allows more adaptability for components to be shifted or altered to accommodate dietary restrictions. If members of your party are wary of "fancy-pants food," they can salivate over one of the best sandwiches they've ever eaten while you enjoy your five spiced duck confit. Inclusivity is the name of the game at The Riv, as they intrinsically know that the art of great food is meant to be shared with all who wish to celebrate it. The front of house is run with a precision usually only reserved for Michelin adjacent establishments. Servers are always laser focused, exceedingly knowledgeable, and genuinely kind. Craft cocktails are competent, but the real star of the show here is the vino. There is quite simply no better wine program by the glass or bottle within a two hundred mile radius. The fact that The Riviera has maintained this level of consistency for so many years across all aspects of its dining experience is no short of otherworldly. It isn't just the best Restaurant in Glenwood Springs, it is one of the best places you will ever eat period. Long may it reign. read more

Happy Thanksgiving from Glenwood Springs. We had reservations for noon Thanksgiving dinner and was looking forward to it. We were seated immediately (the 3rd table seated for that noon time frame) and placed drink orders while reviewing the menu. For starters you had the choice of soup or salad. Husband got the tomato soup and I got roasted butternut squash. Both were excellent. The tomato was rich and creamy; I said it was smooth. Butternut squash was silky and the roasted scallions with the balsamic reduction added so much to the soup. We ordered a small salad to share which was an extra charge but worth it. The drinks were excellent as well. I had a glass of Dr L Riesling and husband had a French 75. Both were excellent I ordered the traditional turkey dinner which came with potatoes and gravy, stuffing/dressing, homemade green bean casserole and corn muffin. Husband ordered the prime rib with all the same sides. Now here is where things go downhill. We were the 3rd table seated and the next to the last served in the dining room. We watched plate after plate go to other tables that came in way after us. Keep in mind there were 3 choices for the entree and we pre ordered that! Finally after 3 different wait staff said they would check on our dinner we got our plates 35 minutes later. Turkey and potatoes were good and the house made cranberry sauce was great. The dressing/stuffing felt like paste in my mouth. Just chunks of bread with minimal seasoning and it was cold. The green bean casserole was unrecognizable. It was heavy on the beef flavor and just kinda clumped on the plate. Husbands prime rib was a nice portion but it lacked flavor. Dessert was either pumpkin or cherry pie and we had one of each. The pie crust on the pumpkin so very tough and no flavor. While the restaurant itself has a nice vibe inside- the bar is separate from the main eating area and sound wise you can have a conversation during dinner and hear each other. Would I go back? Not sure. I loved how the meal started but the main course was disappointing read more

My wife and I had a great birthday meal at Riviera Supper Club. From the hostess to our server Jessie L the service was impeccable. The food was great. We started with the bone marrow which was very tasty and served with toasted bread, a berry sauce (not quite a jam), some greens, serrano peppers and fried onion strings. The beef stroganoff is an elevated version of a traditional stroganoff. It is so rich and full of delcious beef, mushrooms, onions with their gravy, pickled red onions and garlic bread (didn't eat since there was so much food). My wife had the beef wellington and it was cooked to perfection with the bourbon and molasses sauce, vegetables and mashed potatoes. Yum yum yum. The cherry pie with vanilla ice cream was warm and freshly baked and a symphony of tart and sweet with a great crust. The only thing I did not like was the Chef's Shifty cocktail. It is their version of an old fashioned. The taste was not like any old fashioned I have had and it was just not my jam. Great way to enjoy a meal in Glenwood Springs. Thank you Riviera Supper Club.

A must when visiting Glenwood! Me and 2 others dined on a Friday night. My friend had made the reservation and made them aware that we were celebrating my 40th. The staff was so sweet to help us celebrate and not be over the top with silliness. We had champagne and they served it with a lemon twist, I have never had champagne served this way and it was so refreshing! I had the beef Wellington, so worth the extra time the kitchen needed to prepare it! The other 2 got salmon dishes and they were incredible. We had the bananas foster crème brûlée, it was to die for! That is one of the creamiest custards I have ever had. It was a lovely supper with all the staff being very kind and attentive when necessary. We didn't sit on the bar side but I went and checked it out, looked really fun! read more

Wow, what a fantastic dinner. We made a reservation before we even got to town because of the recommendations we received from others. We started with a bottle of Ghost Pines wine which is always a good choice. For dinner, I went with the Five Spice Duck Leg Confit and it was so delicious. Everything in the dish worked together so perfectly and I couldn't believe all the flavors with each bite. The tahini and carrot purée was fantastic paired with the pistachio rice. The portion was large enough for the price and I was full when I left. You don't get a ton of meat on a duck leg but everything else made up for it. We didn't get dessert but the options we saw at other tables looked great and I'll save room next time. The restaurant is small and offers a clean and inviting atmosphere. It's located right on the main drag of restaurants and there is plenty of parking nearby. Our server was great and she even remembered my copilot from his last layover in town. We will definitely be coming back. read more

Super tasty food. Everything we ate was amazing. The appetizers we chose were burrata and tomato soup. The burrata included some great peppers and the soup was the best tomato soup ever thanks to the goat cheese and cream. The main dishes we tried were the beef wellington, the lasagna, and the duck. All were perfect. The duck is perfectly paired with pistachio rice and fell off the bone. The lasagna included mushrooms that were cooked super well. The beef wellington had a great pastry shell and sides with mashed potatoes. For dessert, we had the banana crème brule and the cherry pie. The banana crème brule was amazing and the texture and flavor went super well together (if you like banana). read more
