The onion soup was outstanding. We split a BLAT and it was yummy. The bartender made us the perfect Lemon Drop martinis. Our waitress, Beatriz, was professional and quite pleasant to us. She didn’t hurry us but checked on us frequently. Of course the setting on the edge of Lake Tahoe can’t be beat. It was a lovely lunch and time to chat and relax.

Parrish, our waiter, was great! Gave us the time and space to really enjoy our meal and our time at BoA. Food was terrific, unique, tasty and I'll be going back just for that!

We always have a great experience at Riva! The service and food is always excellent! We typically sit on the patio when the weather is nice to be closer to the water and enjoy fresh air, but it was too cold (November) and late in the day (dinner), so we sat inside and still enjoyed it!

We went expressly for their 3 course meal tonight. It sounded yummy and it didn't disappoint. We had fritters for a starter, which were fried with seafood inside and other ingredients we couldn't identify. They were very tasty. The entree was slow cooked boneless short ribs with mashed potatoes and carrots. There was a wine demi glaze over the meat that was delicious. We finished with a vanilla mousse with candied cherry sprinkles over the top. Wonderful evening.

Food was exceptional, waitress delightful, view of the river was a wonderful touch. My only comment would be to add additional dinner options. Salmon was excellent, but Menu is very limited with few seafood options. Chilean sea bass and Lamb would be a nice addition. I will be back it was a lovely evening.
