An expensive place with small portions
by vik_granger at Citysearch
At the outset, let me state my one visit to Riva was a few years ago, so it is not real recent. But, I'd be willing to bet the attributes I remember are still applicable today.
It was an upscale, expensive place with small portions. We were treating my sister and her fiancee' and we were all feeling "wallet anxiety". Chilean sea bass was very good. Expect to pay alot, and if you want to leave full, really expect to pay alot. When we were leaving, I noticed a picture of Bill Clinton smiling and posing with the Riva staff (presumably he had dined here). I remember thinking, "Yeah, you have to be a big shot to be able to afford leaving here feeling really full!"
Since no one else has reviewed this place yet on this site, I thought this information might be of value.
- Pros: Seafood was good, and a fairly good view of Navy Pier.
- Cons: Small portions and expensive.
