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 ?

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

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!

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.

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 ??????????

Not anything like this place used to be, since it's been taken over by a consortium, every aspect has gone downhill, used to be the best place for dinner on the penninsula.
That good atmosphere in the bar has also disappeared.

I ordered lamb souvlaki. I got a piece of flat bread with some soggy lettuce on it, some slices of fatty lamb and gravy, some salsa that was sour and inedible. As a patron of The rivi for 30 or more years I am considering not going back.

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!

Mediterranean parma was delicious. Rose wine was superb!

Great food at a great price. My wife loved the curry. Friendly bar staff with great service.

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.

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.

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.

Nice food, alright customer service, but the atmosphere wasn't the best. I felt like they just tried to combine a bar and a family restaurant, and I felt it didnt work to well. It was very loud from a lot of young children running around the play equipment, and it felt a bit dirty in general.
Nice family place, but not that great for just some friends.

Best kept secret don't tell anyone how awesome the food and staff are. Best service we have experienced in a long time. Congratulations team thank you. 3 great meals under $70 great value.

Delicious chicken schnitzel and Seniors roast. Friendly staff, nice atmosphere.

I went to this hotel today with friends and family for lunch.
The bistro was warm and inviting and a very nice space.
The menu was full over wonderful meals that is great for everyone.

Try it. Great for lunch with family and friends.

Lived in Frankston all my life, never been to the Riverina until today. Great place. Great food. Highly recommended!! I'll be back many times.

My aussie Parma was to die for loves every last bit of it. My wife and our friends said the same thing meals were great. Only draw back was the noise it was quite loud in a small space. But the meal over came that. Great service cheers we will be back again.

Very impressed with the updated decor. Ample parking and pleasant staff. New chef new menu. The lunch we had was delightful all freshly cooked and not microwaved. I couldn't find anything to winge about not even the prices.

Had a beautiful dinner there tonight, the lady running the show was amazing! Still great
customer service no matter how busy it got.

The food was great the curry and Parma was delicious and my daughters veg with chicken nuggets was super fresh.

Great kids room also.

Will be back!

Everything about this place is amazing from the friendly staff to the beautiful food. Highly recommend stopping past for a beer and feed

Reasonably priced, good food and great service.

Was here last week and beautiful food, atmosphere. Staff lovely, Ryan was terrific.
Definately come back.

Good food good food , standard pub food , good people , for this area they need to lift up the standard.

Recently moved to the area and visited The Riviera for the first time. Found that it was a really nice pub and had decent food and portion sizes. We had the kids with us and they enjoyed the play area too.

I used to love eating at The Riv Hotel Since management has changed the place has taken a dive. When Costa was running the kitchen the food was amazing. We ate there last night and it was terrible. Roast pork was dry. The crackle wasn't crackle it was sloppy rind. The vegetables were so undercooked they were almost raw! The oyster Kirkpatrick were very average, overcooked and bacon was dry. The calamari was chewy. The chicken parma was fine, bit dry, but nothing special. I won't eat here again. Such a shame.

Great meals, great service and we'll priced. Certainly recommend

Top place with great food, make sure you flirt with Cass to get your free drinks ???

Absolutely brilliant eye fillet. 10/10. Chicken and prawns with creamy mustard sauce very good too. Definitely will return. Friendly and engaging staff too. ?

Always a great and enjoyable meal at this pub...staff friendly and helpful.

Fun. Spent 4 hrs there winning

Used to work here, has changed a lot now. But still a great place to drop in for people I remember and have a beer. Surely great food, wine etc. Place is now a bit more modern, newer technology etc.

Great place! Stopped for a Club Soda on my ride home. Will definately return for a meal soon.

Popped in here after the beach one day as it's opposite the foreshore but has free parking. Fantastic food, couldn't fault it. Went back 3 days later and again, great food, service is good, it's decently priced, there's an outdoor seating area to enjoy the sun. Highly recommended as a restaurant, no idea about the other aspects though.

Clean and tidy.Slow to collect order, but, received quite quickly after order taken.Lovely meals and good table manners when clearing dishes.Would recommend the Riviera Hotel to anyone.
