Riviera Ottawa

• ★★★★☆

  Solid food and great service, but check the weather if you don't book ahead! We visited Riviera last night as a walk-in party of four. Because the indoor dining area was completely full, we had to be seated outside. Unfortunately, it turned out to be a very cold evening, which made the dining experience a bit uncomfortable. Our waitress was fantastic—very attentive, friendly, and helpful throughout the night despite how busy it was. For dinner, my son and I both ordered the Flat Iron Steak Frites (8oz) with Peppercorn Sauce. The steak was cooked well, though it felt a bit standard for the prem

  I visited Riviera on my first night in Ottawa while in town for a conference, and several people recommended it as a must-try restaurant. From the moment I arrived, the hostess was very welcoming and seated me promptly.

  My husband took us here for my birthday dinner and everything was excellent. I had the Pear pressure drink and it was so good my husband then ordered us two more.

For dessert we did gelato with raspberries and brownie pieces and it was excellent.

  one of the best in the city. inside an old bank this place is so vibes, has amazing service and some of the best food and drinks in the city. surely the best negronis served by mr. flood. i’ve probably had most things on the menu at this point and cannot pick a favorite. great even for a drink out solo or with some friends after work. dessert is also beautifully done and i try to go back every time i come back to visit the city.

  We were sitting at the chef's counter, and it was so interesting to watch behind the scenes the entire time we were there. The overall atmosphere was nice. Their cocktails were so good! We ordered the beef tartare, oxtail ragu pasta, and aged steak. The tartare was good, and the oxtail ragu was good too. The steak itself was just normal, but with the cheesy mashed potatoes dripping, it really had a kick. We want to go again!
