    The food was outstanding and the desserts were out of this world! Service was not rushed, which we enjoyed. One of our entrees came out the wrong temperature but they remade it without a fuss. We will definitely go back.

    Another magical dining experience at Le Rivage! From the moment I walked in, I was warmly greeted like family by the lovely hostess, Giselle, and seated right away. Our server, Jeremie, was not only hilarious but also incredibly accommodating, making the evening even more enjoyable. I started with their traditional French onion soup—it’s hands down the best I’ve ever had, rich and perfectly balanced. Then came my all-time favorite dish: the Duck! Cooked to absolute perfection and flambéed tableside with Grand Marnier, it was a true showstopper. I might be imagining it, but the portion seemed even more generous this time—AMAZING! To cap it all off, I stayed classic with the crème brûlée, a flawless finish to an unforgettable meal. Le Rivage never fails to deliver a truly extraordinary experience. Can’t wait to return!

    I couldnt have picked a better place to enjoy my first dinner of 2025. For starters, the restaurant is visually beautiful and they perfectly curated the music to create a relaxing ambience. It is clear that management has a particular attention to detail and it is something I greatly appreciate in any dining experience. I was seated upstairs near the balcony overlooking the downstairs dining area. It felt intimate but still lively. My server was Alecta and she was absolutely incredible. She made solid recommendations and checked in regularly to ensure I was enjoying my dining experience. The food was a 10/10 and came out quickly. I ordered the lobster bisque and the 12oz Australian ribeye. At no point did I have to ask for anything because the staff was so attentive. I will absolutely be returning and I 100% recommend to anyone.
