Riviera — Restaurant in Fort Lauderdale

Decided to meet a friend here to try some place new. Was greeted by a lovely hostess in a very very open concept lobby. The interior design was really impressive and interesting. As we sat down at the table I could already tell it was extremely quiet and there was an obvious lack of staff and management present. Where was everyone? After chatting for a bit I noticed a canned strawberry mimosa concoction on the menu and became excited to try it only to find out they were out and didn’t really have any suggestions for me to try instead. Our server was extremely pleasant, patient and made great recommendations but finally my friend and I each opted to have an avocado toast and two lattes. The coffees were simple perfection. The avo toast was beautiful. Everything had been placed on it rather than thrown together however the taste was completely off. The bread was an odd choice for the rest of the flavors in the dish, the avo was under-ripe and the dressing w greens were very bitter. Disappointing to say the least. I am one to never waste food but I couldn’t finish it. We resorted to linger over our coffees and enjoy the view since it overlooks the beach. Maybe brunch is not their strong-suit but I’m in no hurry to try this place for dinner. Leave a like or follow me if this was helpful. Check back for updates and new reviews of places around...

Was pleasantly surprised when my boyfriend and I came to this establishment, Whether you opt for indoor or patio seating, the space balances casual comfort with refined details – perfect for a romantic evening. Based on the restaurant’s emphasis and strong seafood reputation, it’s safe to say their mahi‑mahi delivers on freshness, texture, and visual appeal. It’s the kind of dish that harmonizes perfectly with ocean views. Service was top tier! Unique and Dante went above and beyond—attentive, friendly, and genuinely attentive to your needs, adding warmth and personalization to our evening. That kind of hospitality transforms a meal into a memorable occasion. Riviera at Hotel Maren nails the trifecta—beautiful setting, top-notch seafood, and hospitality that hits home. Mahi-Mahi, garlic mash, shrimp risotto, lobster Mac and cheese and a STELLAR branzino was the star of the show for sure! But drinks were phenomenal as well coming from two bartenders we were amazed at the flavors and distribution of the cocktail. 10/10 highly recommended will be coming back to try...

Where do I began? I was married on 8.18.24 and came in two days prior on such short notice to ask if my wedding reception could be held at this restaurant. Although it was last minute, the manager was very nice and capable of getting this last-minute request done to hold 45-50 people. He immediately start making phone calls and asking for additional staff to come in and help serve my wedding guest. I felt with the Elegance of this restaurant and me getting married right across the street on the beach it would be perfect for my guest to just walk across versus getting into their car driving to a different location and paying for parking somewhere else. The food was amazing and the staff were great! They even sliced my wedding cake for me. I felt the pricing Was very reasonable after receiving my bill for paying for my guest. I definitely recommend this location, especially if you just want to dine in to grab you brunch even on a random day! Thank you for making my day so special and being so accommodating to celebrate great memories in your...
