All good, Saturday, 14 June 2008

Written by Clare - View all my reviews - Top 100 Reviewer

About one week ago my students and I had a dinner at this restaurant.
I've been told the food from riviera was very good. we went to the restaurant at 7:00pm it wasn't a weekend,so no need to wait for a seat. we had some drink in the bar,the lady Venassa was very nice and friendly. after a short talk with the owner, a waitress took us to our table,we tried one bite of rice with shellfish stuff,it was soooo good,so three of us ordered the same thing. main course,we ordered the same thing-duck. before they served the duck,they brought some ice-cream to clean the mouth,how nice!
The food,drink,snake,dessert,white wine and the envionment were all very good. the waitress speaks good english,and provided excellent services(we better to tip :P).
I don't know how much the wine cost,the main courses are not crazy expensive(fishes cost about 200rmb,meat usually 100rmb).but this is a nice restaurant. worth to try.

A Mediterranean Evening, Thursday, 28 February 2008

Written by Wolfbreezer - View all my reviews - Top 10 Reviewer

(Reviewed by Fred, at Western Restaurant Section)

Went a few days ago with some friends to the Riviera. After reading the reviews I have to react on some of these. I've been living in South-France for 10 years now in the Languedoc (which is close to the Riviera) and know this region well since 20 years. I'm familiar with the Spanish Mediterranean , but not with the Italian. I have to admit, the name does not cover completely the concept of the restaurant, which is Mediterranean. The Riviera is only part of it. The ambience is clearly a mix of (upscale) Spanish and French. The wall paintings remind me of Barcelona, Gaudi (one of the greatest architects) in special. I totally disagree with Mr Heizer. Did he ever see a French/Spanish canteen inside? Also the light is part of the ambiance and should (in style) be dimmed, favorably yellowish. Yet still being sufficient to read the menu ( maybe some people need to bring reading-spectacles for the menu-card?, or take a table near the kitchen, the light will help you to read). The open kitchen is well according the new trends, but is hardly seen in the Mediterranean. The walls could indeed have some more pictures and the owner told me she already was looking , but it is difficult to find the proper ones. Also shortly there will be Spanish wine on the list. By no means other than Italian, Spanish or French wines. This is a no-no in the Mediterranean. People should know how chauvinistic people in south-Europe are about wine.
I do agree the prices are not cheap, specially compared with a lot of good Chinese restaurants, but the food is very good. I had a Carpaccio, which was melting in the mouth. It was so nicely thin cut, I have never found in France nor Spain. The steak was very good. Quality doesn't come cheap. The amount of food is not big, but enough. If you want to get stuffed, you better go to eat in a canteen. The Mediterranean people put quality above quantity.
A satisfied customer.
