    Before anything else!!! The staff our waitresses Ms. Kim and Ms. Aria (I hope I got her name correct) were just incredible. Ms. Kim was so attentive, quick, friendly and just had a real good vibe- the food was good! And the portions were on point. Wedge salad, wings,corn dog bites and bacon wrap shrimp! My husband and I shared everything plus a few shots couple beers! All under $140 ! They have live jazz!! We were not seated in bar area! But you can hear the music anywhere you sit! I definitely want to go back and sit in bar area listen to music! Was a cool spot! I will be back!

    Excellent happy hour! 1/2 price cocktails and discounted appetizers knocked our Friday evening out of the park. Service was great and friendly.

    We have come here since they opened over 16 years ago, and been through the iterations of multiple owners. The service is always wonderful, the drinks are strong and the food is good. Their happy hour 4-6 pm is the best in town. Our go-to items are the turquoise tots and the flat iron. The soups have been a great addition. It’s a great local dive - big red booths, fun cocktails - and we love coming here.

    Had a reservation so we were seated right away. Heard that it was a 50min wait without one. This was on a Friday evening, so highly recommend having a reservation. Staff was courteous and helpful. One of the highlights of this location is the grill where you can cook your own food, however we opted to have the kitchen cook our steaks. Ordered the filet mignon, medium rare and it was perfect! The sides were so good (mashed potatoes and macaroni and cheese). Some of the best mashed potatoes that I’ve had in a long time. Drinks were nice and stiff. I hadn’t been here in years, but it was just as good as I remembered.

    Steaks came out raw , sides were salty , salads came out one by one , one CC was overcharged, said they fixed it but it wasn’t , too much hassle to even try to fix it, overcharged by $80. Manager was nice but for $400 tab, it was very poor experience. It was also very hot.

    I love the Riviera Supper Club! The food and drinks are always delicious, the employees are fast and kind, and we love the entertainment, especially the jazz band on Wednesdays! The prices can be a bit expensive so I've been trying to go during Happy Hour lately which is everyday from 4pm-6pm which is also great! Highly recommend!

    We’ve been going here a long time and love the place, atmosphere, and service, but those steaks are not the caliber of steaks to charge those prices. They should be half the cost. Our Mew York was thin so there was no way it could be medium rare. Tasted good, but not worth $50!
