About this restaurant

Great for scenic views
Romantic
Innovative

Riva Restaurant in Sidney, British Columbia is located a stone's throw from the Pacific Ocean at the very end of Beacon Avenue. This means that when you decide to enjoy a meal at Beacon Landing Restaurant, you also get to enjoy a fantastic view of Haro Strait, playful seals and Mount Baker. Fortunately, the menu at Beacon Landing Restaurant is also worth the trip. Obviously, the seafood here is amazing. Try the Quadra Island scallops, the seafood risotto or the prawn and scallop gnocchi to see what we mean. If you're in the mood for something different, go with the pork back ribs, wild sockeye salmon or beef tenderloin.

Good food, good wine and good service. We were seated right next to the kitchen so that is why ambiance got a lower star rating. We could not hear kitchen noise but just not great to look at. It was my second time there and would recommend it. The Cabonara pasta was fabulous. I shared this and it was still more than enough.

This was my 4th visit to RIVA and I found my dishes only fair at best. The Minestrone to start was quite frankly tasteless and the Flambe Prawns I ordered were not what was served. Another much smaller prawn dish served. I didn't mention anything at the time as we had invited another couple. Gerald Fisher

First time here! Wow, food was delicious in taste and presentation. Portions were good size, moderate price, but for the cuisine was very much worth it. Restaurant is tastefully decorated, music at right level, recommend it very highly. Definitely going back!

We had the breaded pork chop. Too salty. Too many cherry tomatoes on the side, would’ve been better if there was less. Maybe adding another side to balance ? More of a pub feel. 2 different radio stations playing , we could hear music in the kitchen then another type of music in restaurant.

Excellent service. Excellent food and the ambience was very warm and cosy -just perfect for a wet and stormy Friday night. We will be back.
