Riva Crabhouse/Riva Cafe Review

Surprisingly excellent for a tourist-type restaurant. The seafood was extraordinary. Loved the valet parking service too!

Best fish sea food I have ever tasted!!! Very nice clean restraunt. Friendly staff If I could give this place 10 stars I would. Good size food portions, not too much not too little. Highly Recommending!!!

Cool restaurant on the Navy pier with a great views of Chicago. Love their wild caught Chilean sea bass and king crab legs.
I am recommended to visit this restaurant while you are in Chicago.

This spot is good! Reasonable rates, considerable dishes and the employees are constantly very welcoming.

Excellent and attentive service. Pricey but there was an impeccable quality of food with a gorgeous view of the bay. Staff was wonderful and the vibe of the restaurant was pleasing. Had a great weekend experience and would make this a definite stop.

A great place to have lunch. The food is pretty delicious and inexpensive depending on what you order.
We ordered burgers with fries. They seemed to be freshly prepared with your choice of cheese and toppings. The only negative thing was that they didn't ask how we want the burgers cooked. They came well done but not dry. The burger is $15. The seafood dishes are more expensive.
The waiter was very attentive and friendly. Always asked if we need anything and provided refills.
Riva has a nice patio with a view on the pier.
I would definitely recommend this restaurant.

Two of us went for dinner on September 6th, 2020. The restaurant was not crowded and everyone was wearing masks. The issues we had were that the waiter left our table before we finished ordering, and we both had to call him back to finish taking our order. One of the items we ordered was never given to us. The lobster tail that was ordered was charred and dry. We sent it back, and a non-burned one was brought to us. Over all the food and drinks were fair at best. The waiter comped us for the over-cooked lobster, and I still left him a $40 tip. 3 days later, my bank statement shows $100 over the bill being processed which is not what the credit card statement I signed shows. I will be contacting my bank regarding a charge back for the $100 difference. I will not go back there again, and I cannot honestly recommend them.

I recommend going to the second floor and get a seat by the windows. The view if skyline and lake is amazing! Service was amazing and the food was perfect from plating to taste. I have never had a better crab cake in my life and the Key Like pie was perfect!

The food was phenomenal!! The service exceptional. The window seat view was so spectacular that God confirmed it by presenting us with a rainbow filled sky.
