From the moment we stopped in we had an enjoyable time. The hostesses quickly provided us with menus and found us a spot to sit outside, which was tough since it was a packed Friday night. Your touch choice is going to be which drink you will have. Drinks were delicious - Millionaire. Perfect Stranger and Gin Fizz, . Service was solid - Go Sam and Chris. And the eggplant appetizer was yummy. read more

First time at Riviera House, our server was nice but slow. We arrived during happy hour. Our drinks and apps were brought to our table, however the server didn't come back for over 30 minutes. Wanted to order food from the happy hour menu, but happy hour had ended since it took so long for the server to come back. Food was meh. The crispy rice on the spicy tina bites was too crispy and there wasn't a ton of flavor. Salmon BLT was super salty. Salmon picatta was just ok. Not a bad choice, but there are better options in the village. read more

Have came here a couple times with boyfriend for date night/ lunch date. We loved it the first time so we came here with our pup. Weirdly they allow dogs but don't have any water bowls so you have to walk outside for your pup to drink water which is a little inconvenient. Service was good but not very personable. He was just there to do his job and also made a little smart remark about the water for our pup. Overall, 6/10. We ordered the clam chowder and would give this a 9/10. Would definitely order again. We got the scallops and this I would give a 7/10. They were slightly overcooked but still very delicious. The shrimp tacos were an 7/10 as well. Pretty basic shrimp taco but the sauce really made the dish. I wanted more of that sauce. Overall, good but not great. I would come back to try different dishes. read more

Riviera House - At the RH today!! Going to have a great time and social hour!! - Seafood Near Me - Redondo Beach, California

Great Happy Hour Steaks or Ribs. THE VERY BEST Irish Coffee. Creaminess, sweetness, and that good old Bushmills "bite"! read more

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

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

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

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

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

Came here to say for brunch with my best friend after church. We sat on the patio and enjoyed the beautiful summer morning. The server was amazing and helped us pick some fantastic drinks that were not on the menu. She was wanting something fruity but with no rum. He took his time to listen to our tastes in drinks and curated the best cocktail I have had in the riviera village! 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

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

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 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 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

The food was superb! We ordered the prawns, sea bass, salmon lobster mac and cheese and truffle fries. The staff was helpful and helped us make the perfect choices. The indoor outdoor vibe with the ocean breeze so close was a plus! read more

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

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

Went for happy hour. Good service and the food and drinks were good. We ordered off the regular menu too. A little pricey, but what isn't these days. read more

Pretty awful experience. I went here one time and it took a long time for service, but decided to give it another try. We told the hostess we wanted to just have a glass of wine, we had our baby with us, and she told us to go sit at the bar. Before we even sat down the bartender yelled at us from across the bar that we can't sit there with the baby. It was very harsh and we were literally just told to sit there by the hostess. Could have been handled very differently, rather than yelling at us instead of serving us. I live in the area, often looking for a spot, but will never come back and will not recommend. I don't need to go support a place that yells at customers. 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

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

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

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

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

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

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.

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 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

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

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
