Went with a group of 20 people. Good menu with lots of choice. Everything is good. The seniors meals at $15 (midweek) are hard to beat.

We had a great night here with a couple of families and a bunch of kids. There is a play area with a TV quietly playing recent family films. The service was excellent and the menu boasts all of your pub favourites- including frequently updated specials. This is standard pub fair. Some may say the decor needs and update, but I think that's part of the charm. Pub chic (live Bingo gaming on screens in the eating area). Nacho Parma and chorizo gnocchi were the highlight. Lots of kids options + free kids drink and cheap ice-cream for a treat. Fabulous servers make this place feel like a place for locals. Everyone knows everyone. A lovely place for a quiet whole family meal .

Very disappointed with our recent experience, the meal portion was very small and very overpriced and poor quality, the staff were nice but sorry will never return.

Today we enjoyed a lovely meal at the Rivera - there was one girl Eva working today taking care of meal orders drinks and also managing the public bar all by herself due to staff being unwell- she was simply awesome- professional at all times and managed to get everything done - we were very impressed indeed and would definitely be back 😀 thanks Eva- awesome job today!

This place has changed owners a bit of the last few years. The vibe used to be great. Now there's no TAB out the back between the pokies and the smoking area, you can't eat outside even if you're a smoker. The locals own the smoking table out the front. All about the pokies that place now, got no soul anymore. The staff used to make that place a good place to go have a beer at. They're all gone now too

Staff always more than friendly. Food consistant. Go often so some more seasonal variations would be great. Always our Togo place of choice.

Riviera is a must go have a meal there place. We have been twice in a short time, the meals are first class, very reasonably priced, the staff can not do enough for you, and the service is tops. I meant to take some photos but forgot so next time. Anyway, check it out yourself. You won't be sorry.

Is it possible to give a minus?
Food was dreadful chicken tasted like it was cooked in dirty fat, plate too small food slipping off
Obviously couldn’t eat it and it was like a children’s playground with very young children running around
It was my first time and definitely my last
The acoustic needs help everything echoes, a no go to!

First time visitor. Loved it all. Not an overly large hotel but pleasant, friendly staff. Very helpful too. Extensive menu, so much so that our group will be back to work our way through it. Drinks good prices. Tri IA night was going gangbusters while we were there.

Fantastic pub at Seaford on the Nepean Hwy they have great meals and icy cold tap beer‼️Live music of the highest calibre from AMA band in there today these guys were superb playing such a good variety of upbeat covers I was really impressed with their songllist and sound!!! Worth the stop on your next trip if your on the Nepean heading south towards mornington stop at The Riviera ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Don’t order off the specials board. Meal size was very small. $32 and got one lamb shank on a tiny scoop of mash. The service however was very good. Chef didn’t care when I mentioned the portion was very small.

Depends what night you go, who's cooking!. Don't like to watch the young man constantly scratch at his hair, then pick up our plates. Didn't like the food this particular night, didn't say a word, but staff who cleaned table did a couple of faces with an eye roll to finish off. Then I won $700_ on the pokies. SWEET.

Chose this place at random. Food was nice but was charged a surcharge for using my debit card.

Asked if the rump steak was any good and was told it was the best.
Ordered it medium/rare
Three bites in and I almost choked to death on it.
Walked around the room like a headless chook bashing in the middle of my own chest with no response from anyone.
Luckily at the critical moment I regurgitated what couldn't be chewed into smaller pieces into my own hands.
Thanks to the chef, I've turned off steak for life and the Riviera to boot

An ok evening. Our mains were brought out before the entree, so the staff put our mains (Salad and all!) in the Bain marie ready to bring back out after entee.... Fish was dry and overcooked. Chicken Parma was also overcooked and dry. Carpet in the dining room was questionable! Staff were friendly enough; however quite inexperienced. Probably won't return.

A great local that we enjoy going to. We usually go to the sports bar but have also eaten in the bistro as well, staff are always friendly. Food is tasty and fair prices. The play area is smaller and could do with an upgrade and if they ever get approved for a roof top bar, that would be a real hit.

Actually disappointed when I learnt that our favourite waitress Dawn had left :( she was the only reason why we went there! She is the most beautiful nature person who’d always us feel welcome! And we felt her warmth as a human being:). Unlike that old bloke who looks lost all the time !! A bit creepy!
I’m sorry to say you have lost a dame good person there:( she was a good sort !! Work hard too!!
She’ll be missed 🙌

A bit noisy - a price to pay for being popular. Late reserve on a Saturday night.
