    We went to Riviera Friday night - sat at the bar - and had an incredible date night experience. From the service, to the food quality, to watching the drinks being made and the all the food prep- it felt like dinner and a show! Was so impressed with the Team at Riviera. Everyone - from the GM, to the Sommelier, to our Server, and the Chefs were incredibly professional, considerate, kind and welcoming. The space itself is stunning - simple yet dramatic set within an old Bank. The photobooth in the back is a fun little bonus too! Would highly recommend for anyone looking for a memorable night out in Ottawa- with your loved ones, friends, colleagues- anyone! We will be back again soon !

    Service was excellent from welcome to end of service. Food was also amazing, we had an amazing time. As it was our anniversary, the staff offered bubbles, as we do not drink bubbles, it would have been nice to have a small drink or beer option instead. It’s just a details as the experience was great.
