It's a beautiful Sunday in RVA to meet for brunch. I made reservations for 2 online and tried calling to confirm but wasn't able to reach anyone. There is a small parking area on the side of the building so be prepared to find off street parking. I arrived and there was a large birthday party of 25 waiting to be seated. I was told upon arrival there was no dining table available but only seats at the bar. I was told that even though I made reservations it wasn't going to be honored due to the large party was about to be seated in the dining table area. I couldn't sit at the bar due to the person with me had a handicap and I didn't want to embarrass them. We left disappointed and our brunch idea crushed. read more

Looking for a brunch spot near our hotel in Richmond and found this place... what it lacks in decor (minimal) ...it more than makes up for in food!!! We had an absolutely delicious brunch trying the French toast platter, chicken and waffles and the specialty omelet loaded with shrimp! Everything was cooked perfectly and the bacon was the perfect crunch and the Home fries were tasty. The servers were great as well... strangely they had no milk for their coffee and only had heavy whipping cream so I passed...condiments were sparse (ketchup and syrup) however the dishes are so well prepared they were not needed!!! They had R&B playing which gave the place a nice vibe! Highly recommend a visit next time you're on Broad St. in RIC read more

Good food, terrible experience. The chicken and waffles were tasty, and the Southern comfort menu delivers on flavor. But service was painfully slow--dishes came out so far apart that someone in our party finished before the rest of us even got our food. The DJ's music was so loud we couldn't hear each other, and I watched our server put food in a to-go box with bare hands. Good flavors, but ruined by bad pacing, noise, and hygiene. read more

Stopped by The Riviere on our way back to MD from Williamsburg and it was the perfect hidden gem! The food was delicious and well seasoned. I had the salmon cakes which came with two sides, the Mac and cheese was amazing and the cabbage was great too. My partner had the lamb chops and waffles and really enjoyed it as well! Server was nice and offered recommendations. read more

Hello, My family and I arrived at your restaurant today at 12:30 PM for our reservation. However, the restaurant was not open at that time, despite online information stating that you would be open and our reservation being confirmed. This was frustrating, as we planned our day around this reservation and made the effort to arrive on time. I wanted to bring this to your attention so it can be addressed and to better understand what happened. I would appreciate a response regarding this matter. Thank you for your time. read more

Found this restaurant on yelp, as I was visiting from out of town. The atmosphere was very nice, we came for brunch and Riviere did not disappoint. There was a DJ with a nice set and the service was great as well; it wasn't overly pack as well. My best-friend got the mimosa flight ($25) and the french toast with two sides ($20); she said it was good. I had the grits bowl with catfish ($21), the dish was good as well just an odd touch with the shaved Parmesan cheese LOL. Definitely recommend this place and to make reservations read more

The Riviere - Southern Fried Fish and Grits - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Richmond, Virginia

Went there for a Sunday brunch. Started out nice. Good atmosphere, staff were very nice, the food was good, and the drinks were adequate. Went there to have a conversation, but a DJ arrived about halfway through the meal and totally destroyed the vibe. This place is for a young crowd not for the grown and sexy. read more

Happy to have parking adjacent to the building!! For brunch, you'll want reservations. It gets packed quickly. Disappointed that they did not have steak and cheese egg rolls that day. The mimosa flight is a cool option if you want to check out a few flavors. The pancake platter was a nice choice and I really liked the fish + grits. The music was vibey and staff were upbeat. read more

Breakfast: I didn't want the same breakfast I'd make at home, this place achieved that. The food was tasty. The waffles had nice crispness and a sweet glaze drizzled over them along with a few blueberries. The grits had great flavor and the bacon was as expected. Only negative, depending upon your expectations was plastic silverware, plastic cup and plastic container for the syrup. Wait staff were not fast but friendly. read more

Professionalism is lacking. We booked a birthday brunch reservation at 1pm. We received confirmation emails the day before and the day of. We had some people that drove and others that spent money on Lyft/uber to be responsible. When we get there, the restaurant is closed. Embarrassed and very annoyed, I even attempted to call to make sure I wasn't missing something. No answer. Their website, yelp, social media, and google all say the restaurant is open. So no one could take 2 seconds to let customers know they wouldn't be open? Or update their sites? Why even allow people to book? Another family also book for a birthday and we're disappointed as well. Waste of money and time. Ruined 2 sets of birthday plans just because you can't be bothered to have the right information listed or sent out. read more

I came to the Riviere a few years ago when it had some decorum and gave the impression of a restaurant serving delicious and fresh food. My most recent experience was horrible, like I would not be surprised if the health ratings were questioned. My salmon had a weird fishy smell and tasted as if it was bad or had been sitting out and not properly prepared. The shrimp appetizer that I have had before and is advertised as jumbo shrimp were small, popcorn in size, and overly fried. The servers were disengaged and on their phones and one was even eating outside food behind the counter in the bar area, where food was being packaged. The music was extremely loud, and took away from my party and I being able to have a conversation. And to make matters even worst, one of the cooks walked from the back, hair on top of his head, no hair net, pants sagging, hole in gloves, and crocs filthy. You would think as the cook he would have at least had on proper kitchen safety shoes and a hair net. I will not be eating at this establishment again, it's definitely a health concern. read more

I'll give this three stars because the drink I had was absolute perfection & the environment was very relaxed & comfortable, however...the food & the service were genuinely not that great. I got the fish & grits as an entree, there was a lot of cheese, the grits were tasteless & the fish had little bones. I can't fault them on the bones because I should've asked instead of assuming, but the taste is all on them. Our table ordered cheesesteak egg rolls, sweet Thai chili shrimp & pasta which were all phenomenal, but everything else we ordered was mediocre at best. (Salmon bites appetizer, jerk chicken entree & sandwiches) The service I feel as if it could've been better. It was not busy at all (there may have been 4-5 tables total) & our server was at the end of the bar on her phone majority of the night. I understand taking moments to yourself, but she could've been much more attentive. Overall, I'd return for the drinks & the egg rolls, but I do not recommend stopping here if you're really hungry. Drinks I recommend: Blueberry Rivie, Pineapple Rum Punk, Spiked Sangria Mule & Apple Whiskey Sour read more

The Riviere - Fish & grits w/ The Rivie Drink - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Richmond, Virginia

We walked in and stood at door for about a minute, without being acknowledged or greeted by anyone...not even the dj that is right by door, made eye contact. The place was only about 30% full and looked like all the staff was huddled behind the bar socializing, so we walked out. Out of town and always prioritize black businesses but if you are too unprofessional to even greet your guests, then you won't get my hard earned money! Also, was willing to ignore the fact that the music was too loud for that size room and the scent of weed that smacked us at the door. read more

Met up with a friend for lunch on a weekday afternoon. The dining room was half full which gave each party a table or two in between each other. Seating is a bit tight otherwise (think Cheesecake Factory table space). Service was pretty quick with the server taking our drink orders and clarified menu items we had questions about. Food arrived in good time. We both ordered salmon bites and grits. The salmon was seasoned well. The grits were heavy on the cream, soupy even, but delicious after a good stirring. However the food seemed a bit lukewarm. I also ordered a side of sweet potatoes because I was craving them. The texture was perfect, but they were heavy on the cinnamon and super light on the sugar. From other reviews I probably should've gone with the waffles. Might give them a try next time! read more

Looking for a nice flavorful meal head on over to this spot. It's a nice clean quaint spot with a variety of foods which scream try me! It's hard to select but from the looks of the many patrons faces you can go wrong. We started with Hot Honey Salmon bites. They looked delicious and did not disappoint! They was perfectly cooked bursting with flavor! My Hubby enjoyed the French Toast with Bacon & Eggs. He added a side of Sausages. It was nothing left on his plate! I had the Waffles and substituted the Chicken Strips for actual Wingettes (thought I would get Wings but....). The Qafgle was absolutely yummy! It was fluffy and rich tasting like a freshly baked glazed Donut. It wasn't just a plain Waffle. So good!!! The Wingettes was flavorful alone. I added the Honey Garlic Sauce which took my tastebud enjoyment to another level of satisfaction. My Husband had the Apple Old Fashioned. He said perfect blend of Alcohol and flavor! My dings for them is the Bacon... looks like Bacon bits. Im use to full pieces of Bacon! (Call me petty). Additionally I prefer whole wings. I think you get a better bang for you buck! It was kit a long wait to be seated or to get our Hot food! Staff was friendly and music was jamming! They do have their own parking lot. Additionally the Restrooms were clean and smelled good. Highly recommend this establishment. 4.8 of 5 We will return to try other items on the menu! read more

Arrived at 11:20am for brunch so it wasn't busy. Waited forever for my mimosa. Ordered medium Lamb Chops and it came out VERY well done. I didn't want to take the food back bcs I was already hungry and didn't want to be that person. On the menu it stated that my meal will come with a glass of champagne. I asked the waitress about it and she said the menu was wrong. There were a lot of things on the menu that were "wrong" or they just didn't serve anymore. I just wish the menu was updated so people won't have certain expectations. Mac and cheese was okay. Mango mimosas were good. Overall 4/10 Probably wouldn't go back. read more

Traaasssssshhhhhh. Service 2/10 waited 10 minutes for water , and there was only one other table besides our 4seater. Food 1/10 , chicken and waffles bad , waffle extremely dry, chicken strips over cooked, sides were incredibly disappointing lol. Ordered breakfast potatoes and bacon got bacon pieces in a bowl and a handful of roasted potatoes and peppers with syrup on them ? ... place is trash , wouldn't go back for the life of me. They put COLLARD GREENS in an omelette that was supposed to have SPINACH. No champagne for mimosas. Tables wobbled. Y'all need to close shop and reset, y'all really gave the worst dining experience I've had in years. Ambiance was trash too , wasn't a DJ either, just a playlist playing loud ass music. read more

An Unforgettable Birthday Experience at The Riviere! I recently celebrated my birthday on a Saturday at The Riviere, and it was nothing short of perfection! From the moment I walked in, the staff went above and beyond to make me feel special. A huge shoutout to Dee and Rae, who provided the kind of impeccable service that transforms a good evening into a memorable one. The food? Absolutely divine. I can't rave enough about the Super Drizzler and the Broad Street Alfredo--both were culinary masterpieces. The cook did his/her thing! And let me tell you, the mac & cheese as a side was hands-down the best I've ever had from a restaurant. Creamy, cheesy, and seasoned to perfection! But the drinks sealed the deal. Dee made the most flawless Lemon Drop Martini, hands down the best drink on the menu. It was balanced, refreshing, and exactly what I needed to toast the occasion. The Riviere delivered on every front: exceptional food, extraordinary service, and an unforgettable ambiance. I can't wait to return--birthday or not. Five stars aren't enough for this gem! read more

So if your looking for a vibe...Look no further! Music is jumping with live Dj on Sunday morning. Plenty of drink options and Hookah. Definitely a Im chillen with my girls spot. Now the food was just Okay. Our food took about 30 minutes to come out. The Pancakes lacked flavor and were limp! The shrimp and grits came out slightly warm. The grits were cooked too long and not mixed well with the cheese. But they gave a good amount of Shrimp! I can see the potential in this dish! The chicken and waffles were the best thing we ordered. The chicken tenders were big but overcooked but i like my chicken that way. The waffle was good with a layer of sweet sauce on top. I do not like eating with PLASTIC utensils! Now the service......Ive been treated nicer at waffle house. Customer service is not something they care about. Our waiter only smiled when it was time for us to leave. When asked for a recommendation, she didnt have an answer! But Hey if your looking for a vibe this is your spot! read more

You'll definitely need a reservation if you're hoping to dine here during peak hours. I went for a Sunday brunch at 11:30 a and it was pretty packed. The space isn't all that large and I could tell there were people at the bar and at the door waiting for tables to free up when we were leaving. Everyone at our table enjoyed their food and I like the mix of light and heavy options on the menu. All my food was flavorful; I do think the Caesar salad could've used less dressing & cheese or more lettuce. I enjoyed my entire entree and would visit again. read more

As a first timer, I will not recommend this place. We had reservations and upon early arrival, the place was packed and had to wait about 25 minutes to be seated. After another long wait, ordered a mimosa tower, literally had a bug inside. They replaced it but was rightfully grossed . Another wait to order food, and by the time food arrived appetite was already gone because we waited almost an hour for service. The music was extremely loud, the space was too small for the amount of patrons. Not sure what type of business they want to attract as the servers basically wore anything and did not seem to interact with the customers. And to add on automatic gratuity is really baffling. I try to support businesses but I honestly could have just brought groceries. read more

I came here for a happy hour and actually really enjoyed it. I just sat at the bar & got a margarita. They shook it up & gave me a fake flower on it. It was pretty but also really tasty! The service was fast & convenient, I'd come back. read more

I went to Riviere for Sunday brunch. This place is pretty busy so I waited 30 minutes for a seat at the bar. VIBE Lituation. There was a DJ while I was there so the vibes were loud and lively! If you enjoy hip hop this might just be your new spot. The Dj was killing it This is definitely not the place to sit and have a conversation over brunch. DRINK The bartender was pretty cool. He welcomed me right away, but he was pretty slammed and I waited a long time for my drink. I ordered the blueberry tequila mojito ($15). It didn't come with any mint, but it tasted pretty good so I didn't mind. FOOD I started with the salmon bites ($15). I've never had fried salmon so I was excited to try these. The bartender recommended the hot honey sauce so I went for it. They did not disappoint ! The salmon was so juicy and the sauce was delicious. They weren't spicy and had the perfect amount of sweetness too. For my entree i tried the lamb chops and waffles ($26). I enjoyed the sweet waffles. They were a little dry, but the flavor was good. The lamb chops were juicy and well seasoned. Unfortunately I didn't really enjoy the sauce on them though. I recommend getting it on the side just in case. The sauce wasn't unbearable, but it really didn't go well with the waffles in my opinion. Overall the food is good though, and everything I saw being served around me looked amazing. I'll definitely be back to try more! read more

First time in Richmond and decided to come here for brunch. The place plays good music and everyone is extremely nice! I sat at the bar and was greeted right away. I ordered the Max & cheese + jerk chicken egg rolls..to die for. They had a lot of flavor and I should have ordered two. It comes with 2 filled egg rolls cut into 4. Then, I had the chicken and waffles - and I personally really liked it! It comes with two chicken strips & one big waffle with THICK syrup. So so good!! Only thing I would say is it took a while for the food to come out but it was fresh so I get it! read more

I really wanted to rave about this spot as the concept is a whole vibe but the food and service just didn't hit for me. For starters, they don't have coffee of any kind. Like I don't understand how you can serve breakfast food and not have coffee. I think it's illegal in some states. So that's strike number one and two because that's how important coffee is. We ordered mimosas of which they have many varieties and even offer flights. Stoked to at least begin day drinking even if I might fall back asleep at the table. Well, when my drink finally does come (it took almost ten minutes and we were like only one of three tables) there are lipstick stains on my glass. It took another ten minutes for our server to come check on us so I could say something because she was too busy looking on her phone and chatting with other servers at the bar blatantly ignoring my efforts to try and get her attention. So I'm so not feeling it at this point. Drink takes another 10 minutes to get back to me at which point our food arrives. We ordered salmon bites, shrimp and grits and chicken and waffles. Everything was fine but nothing really stood out to me as being stellar or worth the price tag. Definitely worth a visit if you just want to drink in a brunch club scene but not for those looking for stellar food and service. read more

The Riviere - Brunch menu - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Richmond, Virginia

I see the vision but there is still a lot of opportunities for growth: (1) The tables are too close together. It's hard to maneuver around tables and sit (2) With their price point, guests should not have plasticware, unless someone is ordering take out (3) Speaking of price point, some of the food selections are too expensive such as $13 for 3 wings, and $18 for a fish dinner with only one piece of fish. The staff was polite and friendly, which was a plus but some of the staff was dressed as if they put forth zero effort. If it were a food truck, I would understand but not for a dine in restaurant with meals for $35. It was unpleasant to see. Would I recommend this location to others? No Would I return again? No read more

I want start this review off by saying I've been in the hospitality industry for 10 years as a server, bartender and manager so Im always understanding of service and all of the things that could potentially be out of the control of waitstaff. My experience for brunch was very lackluster. When I arrived there was no one at the door to greet guest and I ended up having to walk up to the bar to let the bartender know that I had a reservation. The space is smaller than expected but all the tables were full and they had a dj playing hip hop & t&b. I was seated at the bar and sat there for about 15 minutes before I was greeted. The choice of alcohol at the bar was VERY bare! During that time the bartender and kitchen staff were having a disagreement behind the bar in front of myself and other patrons. The bartender seemed very annoyed as she seemed busy and was making drinks. As a bartender/manager, I completely understand being in the "weeds" as the only bartender for a busy brunch shift but it is also still very important to greet customers as they sit at your bar and just let them know you will be right with them, providing at the least a menu. For me that goes a long way and at least lets me known that I am seen. Once we were finally given menus, it took the bartender about another 15 minutes to take our orders. I ordered the peach mimosa pitcher, catfish and grits with a house salad and my friend order the salmon Philly which I was very interested to try. Unfortunately, they let us know that they wouldn't be able to make the salmon Philly so my friend opted out for the chicken Philly on the menu. The food came out in waves with my catfish and grits coming out first and the chicken Philly about 10 minutes later. I normally would like all the food for a group to come out at the same time but we had already waited a while so I let it go. The fish was pretty good but the grits were hard and flavorless without the sauce. My friend stayed the chicken Philly was just OK. My salad didn't come out until I was basically done with my meal but I sent it back because it didn't have the toppings that were described on the menu. I don't even know why they would bring it out to a guest if it didn't look as described. We ended up getting hookah as well which was $50. I was ready to go so I asked for the bill which game to $150 at first. I noticed the bartender still had the salmon Philly on the check which was a different price than the chicken. When I let her know, she said that they didn't even have the chicken Philly in the system although it was on the menu and a different price. She end up removing it and changing the price. Overall I think it was overpriced and the staff could use a bit of training on customer service and engagement. read more

The food was decent but the size of the room and management issues were a huge downside. We chose this restaurant because of the April 28th happy hour all day on the website; but the waitress was not aware that was the promotion. Since we all came with the intention of all day happy hour, it was given to us but it was odd knowing that the website was misleading. They never pick up the phone, so it is hard to place a order or call In late for a reservation. Food was average, but not mind blowing. read more

HORRIBLE EXPERIENCE! We arrived at 12:55 pm for our 1:00 pm reservation. The waitress was AWFUL! She sat us told us everything they were out of and left. We sat for 15 minutes with no water, drinks, communication at all. There was a table seated after us and she waited on them, went behind the bar made them drinks and took their order. We finally flagged down another waiter and asked him if he could be our waiter AWFUL! It took them 45 minutes to make me salmon and scramble eggs. The salmon was the size of 1 chicken tender. I could not believe they served me that for $20.00. It was more eggs than salmon. I sent it back and they said they were now out of salmon. At 2:00 pm and they were open until 6:00 p,m. I opted not to order anything else that this was my experience for an hour. My husband ordered the grit bowl that comes with catfish and was told they were out of catfish. He and my son ordered the shrimp and grits. The shrimp was piping hot and the grits were luke warm. It was sent back, reordered and it came out the same way. I believe the grits are precooked and on a warmer which explains why they are never hot. We were so unhappy, we left. I never ate which is sad to leave a restaurant without eating. The focus on the food was lost. The esthetics are not good. When you walk in, it is a small tight spot with seating jammed in 1 small room. There is a DJ who plays the music so darn loud you cannot hear the people you are eating with. There was a birthday scene that was supposed to emulate bottle service that looked horrible and forced. The focus should be on the SERVICE!! The female waitress is awful and it seems she would rather be a bartender than waitress. She gave horrible service to the table next to us as well. Our service was so bad the table beside us complained for us because they noticed it. Stop adding automatic tips to the ticket. This is why we get bad service so that's why they do not give good service!!!!!!!!!!! If they have to work for it they will do better! It is UNPROFESSIONAL to run out of food AND to open at 11:00 am and to be out of anything at 1:00 pm. Lazy business! Black businesses want to say people don't patronize them. This is what we get when we do. We do not want to waste our money. I will NEVER go there again! Save your money and go somewhere else! read more

Visited on a Thursday as soon as they opened at 11am. I love breakfast and was glad they have a breakfast menu worth visiting for. This place has amazing food and great service! The vibrant colors and paintings lined along the walls made for an upbeat atmosphere. I ordered the Waffle flight and the Blackened Salmon and Eggs. The waffles all tasted the same even though they are different colors. I was confused by this, but it didn't matter because they still tasted scrumptious. The eggs in the blackened salmon and eggs tasted like they had cheese in them so if you're lactose intolerant make sure to ask first. My friend had the Salmon bites and Grits along with the Momosa flight. I didn't try her mimosas, but was really interested in how the Grits tasted. She let me try them and this definitely is the dish I am ordering the next time I visit. They have great music playing, but it was a little loud for me to the point I had to watch my friend's lips as she spoke to me because I could not hear her. I asked the server to turn it down some and she was gracious enough to do so. Even if I never eat in again, I'd definitely try carryout. The food is what sold this restaurant to me and was a win! read more

Where to start with this review.....we made reservations for 11:15am of course because it was brunch and we were starving we were at the restaurant around 11:05am. We had to wait outside for the doors to open, even though the restaurant opened at 11am. Once inside it is nicely decorated with a fun, greenery vibe and the music was on point! Reservations are a must for brunch! We went first thing on a Saturday so, it wasn't overly packed when we arrived. They have tables for groups of six, four and two, as well as a nice sized bar with plenty of seating. Service was good, our waitress was very attentive and sweet. She made some great recommendations for our meal! I ordered the fried chicken and waffle and my husband ordered the right by the James (omelet). Both were delicious. My fried chicken came out hot and seasoned well, on top of a nice, soft waffle and the right by James was just okay. The omlet was filled with shrimp, crab and spinach inside, topped with a yummy cream sauce. My husband said the sauce was the best part. As it was brunch, I ordered the mimosa flight, which came with four mimosas of my choice. They have quite a few flavors to choose from! Now to the not so good portion of the review, once we were seated a few men walked into the restaurant demanding to see (who I presume was the owner), for money he owed. They paced the restaurant for a while until they helped themselves to a seat. After the staff advised them the owner wasn't there (but, he was there), they sat and waited. My husband and I talked about leaving but, then the police showed up to have them removed. Uncomfortable to say the least. I must say the staff handled themselves well in the situation. read more

We love a venue that passes the vibe check!! The music was A1 the entire time and we loved it!! I will say it was my husband and toddle and one thing we did not know about this location was they were a hookah bar. We definitely should have done more research before going. Thankfully, none of the customers ordered a hookah so it was not an issue and we loved that. It is seat yourself so that was convenient as we went during lunch on a Thursday so there was no wait and we got a table that perfectly accommodated the child. I do not recommend taking your children btw. The waitress was very sweet and quick with her service. Loved it! The cups and utensils are plastic which could be both a negative or positive depending on your perspective. We didn't mind that. The chicken and waffles were delicious!! Absolutely delicious but they have some sort of glaze they put on the waffle that makes them very sweet. If you do not like very sweet then you might not enjoy it as much as we did. The Mac and cheese was okay. It wasn't great and honestly we could have done without them. The fish and grits were not great. I asked if there were bones in the fish and was told there shouldn't be. There were quite a few bones present so that was disappointing but not a deal breaker. The real issue for this dish was everything else. The fish was not seasoned well and it wasn't fried to be crispy so when they sat it on top of the hot grits it was giving soggy...mushy...not textures that balance well at all. The grits were VERY cheesy. So much so that you could get entire bites of cheese with no grits. And it was sweet. Hot take, most people either like their grits sweet or salty. I'm a salty for sure! So that could have contributed to this. I probably wouldn't go back just because I'm a nonsmoker and typically do not enjoy smoking environments HOWEVER God knew what we needed because he brought us to a hookah bar that ended up being smoke free. I'd definitely recommend folks try them out but would not recommend the fish and grits, definitely try the chicken and waffles! It was a good experience all things considered. read more

The service was "okay" but the food was pretty decent, only wish it came out steaming hot!! It arrived luke warm but overall taste was good! the Mac & Cheese was delicousssss!!! Had the Fish and grits entree which had a ton of bones but my other guest enjoyed the shrimp and grits. The mimosas were good & also be aware that they offer hookah. There were infants and kids in the restaurant while people were smoking but that was the parents option. The music was mainly the best part. Its a decent brunch spot on broad st..wouldn't recommend huge parties due to it being a little small inside. read more
