Very good Caeser Salad, high quality ingredients.

(Translated by Google) Yesterday I was back at the Riva with my friends for a long time. The location is great. The food is tasty, but also a bit more expensive. During yesterday's visit I was very disappointed. The waitress was not attentive at all. After three calls we were allowed to place our order. In the summer offer, sea bream fillet on risotto with melon was offered, which I and one of my friends ordered. When the food was served I was amazed. The portion that was presented to me was so narrow of sea bream, you'd think I had only ordered half a portion of fish that I noticed this immediately when I served it. The waitress (seemed to be the head waiter) then explained to me like a schoolmaster that this could not be the case as the trainees had the task of weighing the fillets evenly in the mornings. So I have a "kink in the optics". I pointed to the two different plates and explained once again that this would apparently not work. He was not deterred and was in no way prepared to meet me here. I didn't like his casual "Schnack" at all. For such a restaurant I expect better customer service from the wait staff. This was absolutely bad and by no means professional. Even the payment was simply rounded up without asking. The food itself was otherwise quite good. It's a shame, but the Riva won't see me again anytime soon. (Original) Gestern war ich mit meinen Freundinnen seit langer Zeit mal wieder im Riva. Die Lage ist top. Das Essen ist schmackhaft, aber auch schon etwas hochpreisiger. Beim gestrigen Besuch war ich doch sehr enttäuscht. Die Bedienung war überhaupt nicht aufmerksam. Nach dreimaligen Rufen durften wir dann unsere Bestellung aufgeben. Im Sommerangebot wurde Doradenfilet auf Risotto mit Melone angeboten, welches ich, und eine meiner Freundinnen, bestellten. Als dann das Essen serviert wurde staunte ich nicht schlecht. Meine mir vorgelegte Portion war dermaßen schmal an Dorade, man könnte glauben, ich hätte nur eine halbe Portion Fisch bestellt, dass ich dies beim Servieren sofort anmerkte. Die Bedienung (schien der Oberkellner zu sein) erklärte mir dann schulmeisterhaft, dass dies gar nicht sein könnte, da die Auszubildenden vormittags die Aufgabe hätten, die Filets gleichmäßig abzuwiegen. Ich habe demnach wohl einen „Knick in der Optik“. Ich zeigte auf die beiden verschiedenen Teller und erklärte noch einmal, dass das wohl augenscheinlich nicht angehen könnte. Er ließ sich nicht beirren und war auch in keiner Weise bereit, mir hier entgegenzukommen. Sein salopper „Schnack“ gefiel mir ganz und gar nicht. Für solch ein Restaurant erwarte ich von der Bedienung einen besseren Kundenservice. Dies war absolut schlecht und auf gar keinen Fall professionell. Selbst bei der Bezahlung wurde einfach, ohne zu fragen, aufgerundet. Das Essen an sich war sonst recht gut. Schade, aber das Riva wird mich so schnell nicht wiedersehen.

Very nice food, nice service but shut down the bar way too early.

Almost everything was 5*. Elegant interior, nice view to Weser outside and professional service. Good selection of beer. Only my 14€ lunch-chicken was a plump. More like a 9€-chicken or what you get in a school-canteen.

Absolutely not fair. I did mention 3 times that my food is too salty, no reaction. The manager walked also through the restaurant but did only greet special guests. Not everyone. We felt quite secondary. For this „high class“ restaurant was that a very poor presentation. The pasta was more spicy than anything else. The mashed potatoes were super salty I even left more than the half- again no reaction. Poor poor poor

The food is very beautifully served, but the taste is hit or miss, meat is good, pasta is tasteless, tiramisu is good If you want to spend some time at a fancy place, definitely go here, but if you like food, there are hundreds of better places in Bremen, especially considering price

Ok, after reading the reply from the owner I will just avoid this place. You surely need some good night sleep. *** It's alright, but nothing special - like the prices would suggest. The fries were not homemade,... The filet for 30eur was too salty. Also the waiter was just a strange dude...***

(Translated by Google) Unfortunately the pasta was very salty and squeezed in a small bowl. The view and the ambience are great! (Original) Leider waren die Nudeln sehr salzig und in einer kleinen Schale zusammengedrückt. Die Aussicht und das Ambiente sind dafür toll!

(Translated by Google) Well-intentioned dish / recipes, but the special taste is missing. Dessert in a glass cup 😐 no salad as a small addition. Dish of the day tagiatelle with beef strips was hot, but the chanterelles lacked pepper. I've eaten a lot better for the price. (Original) Gut gemeinte Gericht/ Rezepte, aber es fehlt das geschmackliche Besondere. Nachtisch im Glasbecher 😐 kein Salat als kleine Beigabe. Tagesgericht tagiatelle mit Rinderstreifen war heiß, aber den Pfifferlingen fehlte Pfeffer. für den Preis habe ich schon viel besser gegessen.

(Translated by Google) Wanted something to drink or eat after the walk. Were placed but not served afterwards. The table next to us immediately got the cards, etc. Then left. No information about food etc. ... 12.09.2020 approx. 6 p.m. (not excessive use), outside. I'm amazed myself, the table was cleaned for us. But serving the table next door, which came much later, confirmed the ignorance. (Original) Wollten nach dem Spaziergang was Trinken bzw. Essen. Wurden platziert aber danach nicht mehr bedient. Der Tisch neben uns bekam sofort die Karten etc. Sind dann gegangen. Keine Angabe über Essen usw. ...12.09.2020 ca. 18 Uhr (nicht übermäßiger Betrieb), draußen. Bin selbst erstaunt, Tisch wurde noch für uns gesäubert. Aber das Bedienen des Tisches nebenan, der viel später kam, hat dann doch die Ignoranz bestätigt.

(Translated by Google) Just super nice, nice service, good food and nice view (Original) Einfach nur super schön,nette Bedienung, gutes Essen und schönen Ausblick

(Translated by Google) Interesting food and nice ambience! That's how I've rated the Riva since 2018! And the Riva always recommended ... Best regards (Original) Interessante Speisen und schönes Ambiente! So habe ich das Riva seit 2018 bewertet! Und das Riva immer weiter empfohlen... Mit freundlichen Grüßen

Superficially nice, but flaws add up catastrophically. I've been there on Good Friday 2018 with family and was majorly disappointed. From the beginning to the end grouped by topic in pros/cons style (bear in mind that they are expensive for a mid-class restaurant): Pros: I had body-peeled yet not severed tiger prawns as starter (very nice). Cons: My cousin ordered tagliatelle with tiger prawns as main dish, but got linguine instead (without a word) and the tiger prawns were still in their whole shell (she kept the dish, but it was a mess for her). Pros: I had the 14 oz rib-eye as main course with steak fries, caesar's salad and herb butter as trimmings and a glass of perfectly adequate Merlot to go with it. It was perfectly medium with a decent crisp. Cons: The waitress didn't bring a steak knife (I had to ask for one; she had to search the restaurant for it...). Then it actually wasn't a rib-eye but a super-thick rump steak (still perfectly medium though). Also instead of herb butter (as specified in the menu) I got pesto (yes, with slight anchovy flavor) that resembled a roll of herbs drenched in oil and respectively hard to handle (horrible, so I left it alone). Now for the shocker: The salad was topped with parmesan and bacon, as I reckoned, but instead of the usual poultry addition (as I ate it dozens of times in hotels and restaurants of even higher-class throughout Europe), they served the anchovy version of it - to go with steak!!! That...thing I sent back, inquiring about the strong fish flavor. The waitress answered, that they keep to the original recipe and swapped it for an oil-drenched mediterranean salad. She then autonomously discussed it with the chef and got back to me referring to a Wikipedia entry and that the chef said, they keep to the "official US recipe". I don't know how the salad is served in the US, but I am certain that only idiots would willingly mix the flavor of a decent steak with the one of sardines. I mean, that really isn't surf & turf - it's like eating from a rubbish bin. Long story short: For the next person who wants to drag me there I only have two words with seven letters in total.

They do not have an English Menu. The service is very very very very slowwwwwww. The food seems okay. Where a ceaser salad being wothout a chicken????? The service is no good.

Fantastic place enjoy

Everything fits together. The food tastes great, the service is amazing. At least for Christmas have a special menu including drinks, main courses and desserts. The staff loves their work and they give you the feeling that you are welcome and they actually have fun doing their job. Definitely worth visiting. I definitely will visit again.

My wife and I celebrated our wedding anniversary here. The food was 10/10, great service and tasty wine. The only thing that we did not like is as follows: we booked a table for 17:00 and came 20 mins earlier, which was fine. Afterwards we were told that the kitchen opens at 17:30. My suggestion for the restaurant - please do mention that information in your reservation confirmation mail. Besides that, everything was great and we will definitely come back.

Both of the pastas we got were severely overcooked, not at all Al dente and the Al Tartufo lacked taste. The salmon was nice, but the black tiger shrimps on the starter- way too oily, lacking taste and texture, devinitely missing something.

Overall - good. The food was quite delicious and waitress friendly. But: the dessert menu was boring (only 4 regular positions), and no free glass of water. Please add some food photographs on google, some people are visuals, and they make decisions based only on that. Toilet design and decoration could be better. Why am I writing all of this - because this is one of the best Bremen’s restaurants and people have high expectations while going there:) The lightning was great and the music was set up on comfortable volume. Anyways, would recommend this place for visiting:)

(Translated by Google) Very nice location right on the Weser. Attentive service. Friendly & honest. EAT TOP. Very nice terrace. (Original) Sehr schöne Lage direkt an der Weser. Aufmerksamer Service. Freundlich & Ehrlich. ESSEN TOP. Sehr schöne Terrasse.

(Translated by Google) We spontaneously went for a walk in Überseestadt, to run along the Weser and take a look at the whole thing. On the way back we stopped at RIVA for a drink. We were pleasantly surprised, the RIVA is very nicely located, you can sit there very well and it wasn't as crowded as we had expected. The staff is very friendly. The RIVA is highly recommended. We'll definitely be back. (Original) Wir waren spontan zu einem Spaziergang in der Überseestadt, um an der Weser zu laufen und uns das ganze mal anzuschauen. Auf dem Rückweg sind wir bei RIVA eingekehrt um etwas zu trinken. Wir waren angenehm überrascht, das RIVA ist sehr schön gelegen, man kann dort sehr gut sitzen kann und es war auch nicht so voll wie wir vermutet hatten. Das Personal ist sehr freundlich. Das RIVA ist sehr empfehlenswert. Wir kommen bestimmt wieder.

(Translated by Google) We really enjoyed the second attempt, we had the sea bream, vegetables and pizza diavolo (very spicy!). (Original) 2. Versuch hat uns sehr gut gefallen, wir hatten die Dorade, Gemüse und Pizza Diavolo (sehr scharf!).

Everything was more than spectacular!

(Translated by Google) Good food, good service! (Original) Gutes Essen, guter Service!

(Translated by Google) Great service, the food is great and a good atmosphere. I can only recommend everyone. (Original) Super Service, Essen ist einfach klasse und gute Atmosphäre. Kann ich jeden nur empfehlen.

(Translated by Google) Very tasty food, very friendly service and very cozy and modern restaurant (Original) Sehr leckeres Essen, sehr freundlicher Service und sehr gemütliches und modernes Restaurant.💝💝💝

(Translated by Google) Great food and the best lamb ridge I've ever eaten ... (Original) Super Essen und der beste Lamrücken den ich je gegessen habe...

(Translated by Google) Eat delicious on the terrace when the sun is shining. Insalata mista completely different. 😎 (Original) Lecker essen bei Sonnenschein auf der Terrasse. Insalata mista mal ganz anders. 😎

Slow service. Appetizer was great, but the main course was a let down. This was the consensus for the entire table.

(Translated by Google) It was a wonderful evening with excellent food and courteous service. Thank you so much! (Original) Es war ein wunderschöner Abend mit hervorragendem Essen und zuvorkommender Bedienung. Vielen Dank!

A above average place, by the river and all the new housing projects in Bremen. Pricing average.

I went with my man by taxy to Restaurant RIVA a few weeks ago and it was terrible experience. We drove a lot and go there because of good rewievs. A big disappointment. I am from Balakn and I know that my culture is different but I am adaptable person. I live in Germany and it is absolutely acceptable for me to show my Covid certificate and ID card when I need, but what is to much is really to much. I have screenshot of my EU digital covid certificate and a man who worked there didn't want to accept that, but it was obvius that he can read the code from that to check my information. Because of my job I travel a lot and use this certificate everywhere: on airport, and all over across the world. I tried to explain him but he just ignored me. I said ok, spend half an hour to instal app for that same code which I have because he insisted on that and than he read my code. After that he asks for ID card which I understand and which is absolutely fine. I showed him a scan of my ID card on my mobile phone and he didn't want to accept that. He kicked us out of the restaurant. This has never happened to me before. He ruined my all night. Really the worst experience and the worst welcoming ever. Definitely don't recommend. I play by the rules and accept it. The rule says show ID (document with picture) and I have scanned ID. We are living in a 21st century and almost everything is digital and electronic.... Does it mean if the rule is to enter in your restaurant wearing trousers you wil not let me in because I wear jeans? And to be clear I am not talking abou number of people coming in your restaurant and the nationality is not the pont. The pont is that I never experience such an cold, inpolite welcoming.

(Translated by Google) Very good restaurant and chill;) (Original) Sehr gutes Restaurant und chillig ;)

I made a mistake choosing them - Absolute waste of time and money!!

Nice interior, good food. Very big portions. Our waiter Jana en the rest of the staff were friendly and spoke English well

Nice place to be. Cosy interior, delicious dishes, polite and well experienced staff. Maybe a bit too noisy, though. We nevertheless had a pleasant evening there and only can recommend to frequent the Riva. Cheers Andrew

went there for an anniversary, the staff are friendly, the place looks good with a great view on the river, and the menu ist diverse, and the food tastes wonderful the only setback was that it was really hot inside (and clearly outside with an exceptional temperature of 36°) and they don't have air conditioning, but let's face it, no other German restaurant has that either I would definitely go there again

(Translated by Google) From the to-go menu we chose the duck as the "birthday menu" and the tiramisu as dessert. Both the phone order and the pick-up service were super friendly. The menu was well presented and "packed". The taste was just delicious. This also applies to the hip gold. The 2-person birthday party (unfortunately more was not possible) was a successful party. Big compliments to the team. Keep it up!! (Original) Von der To-Go Karte hatten wir als "Geburtstagsmenu" die Ente und als Nachtisch das Tiramisu gewählt. Sowohl die telefonische Bestellung als auch der Service bei der Abholung waren super freundlich. Das Menu war toll angerichtet und "verpackt". Der Geschmack war einfach mega lecker. Dies gilt auch für das Hüftgold. Die 2-Personen Geburtstagsfeier (mehr ging ja leider nicht) war dadurch eine gelungene Party. Ganz großes Lob an das Team. Weiter so!!

Good food, good service. Highly recomended.

A very good selection of Mediterranean food, with a nice view to the Weser river

Excellent hamburger and ravioli dish, very friendly to children.

They know how to run gastro business :)

Food with a view

Good food

(Translated by Google) Especially now during Corona we have realized once again how much we value the Riva. The food has always been flawless and still super warm after a 15-20 minute drive home. We always like to order at the Riva and will continue to do so. (Original) Gerade jetzt während Corona ist uns einmal mehr bewusst geworden, wie sehr wir das Riva schätzen. Das Essen war bislang immer tadellos und auch nach 15-20 Minuten Fahrt nach Hause noch super warm. Wir bestellen immer gerne im Riva und werden dies auch weiterhin tun.

(Translated by Google) Got a voucher for Christmas, which is now supposedly no longer redeemable due to Corona. For me it's total nonsense. (Original) Habe zu Weihnachten einen Gutschein geschenkt bekommen, welcher jetzt angeblich wegen Corona nicht mehr eingelöst werden kann. Ist für mich totaler Quatsch.

(Translated by Google) The vouchers, which were / are offered very euphorically, may suddenly no longer be redeemed "because of Corona". What kind of logic is this, please ?! (Original) Die Gutscheine, die sehr euphorisch angeboten wurden/werden, dürfen plötzlich “wegen Corona“ nicht mehr eingelöst werden. Was ist dies bitte für eine Logik?!

(Translated by Google) Always worth a visit. Very friendly, very tasty food and very personable. (Original) Immer wieder ein Besuch wert. Sehr freundlich, sehr leckere Speisen und sehr sympathisch.

(Translated by Google) Always good (Original) Immer wieder gut

(Translated by Google) Good food, good service. Recently visited with the mobile home. Food was pre-ordered by phone and brought to the mobile home by the service staff. Great service, also taking into account the currently applicable hygiene regulations. The dishes ordered were tasty and nicely presented. (Original) Gutes Essen, guter Service. Vor Kurzem mit dem Wohnmobil vor Ort gewesen. Essen wurde telefonisch vorbestellt und von der Servicekraft bis zum Wohnmobil gebracht. Toller Service auch unter Berücksichtigung der aktuell geltenden Hygiene Vorschriften. Die bestellten Speisen waren schmackhaft und schön angerichtet.

(Translated by Google) Christmas menu to go: 4x 1/2 Oldenburg duck with dumplings, red cabbage and baked apple. That was delicious. The duck is juicy and with a crispy skin. The small dumplings are delicious. And the baked apple first. Price-performance ratio is very good. Large portion. Many Thanks. (Original) Weihnachtsmenü to Go: 4x 1/2 Oldenburger Landente mit Klöße, Rotkohl und Bratapfel. War das lecker. Die Ente saftig und mit knuspriger Haut. Lecker die kleinen Klöße. Und der Bratapfel erst. Preis-Leistung sehr gut.Große Portion. Vielen Dank.

Surprise, surprise😅 there was roast beef with potato gratin, bean buns and Bearnaise😋😋 sauce Great instructions for the short preparation !!!!! (Original) Wir möchten uns für das tolle Essen bedanken 😊 Da dieses Jahr alles ganz anders ist als es normal ist, haben wir auf Wunsch der Kinder im Riva Bremen bestellt ....

(Translated by Google) Nice and competent, as well as friendly service. Dishes super tasty (Original) Netter und kompetenter, sowie freundlicher Service. Gerichte super Lecker

(Translated by Google) I am actually a loyal customer !!! Today I tried to switch to the "ToGo variant" and came across a bad-tempered and inflexible service staff. (Original) Ich bin eigentlich ein treuer Kunde !!! Ich habe heute mal versucht auf die „ToGo Variante“ umzusteigen und bin auf eine schlechtgelaunte und inflexible Servicekraft gestoßen.

(Translated by Google) Great food, nice ambience, but upscale in terms of prices. But justified by taste. The music in the background was too loud and I didn't think it suited this place! (Original) Tolles Essen, schönes Ambiente, allerdings gehobene Klasse von den Preisen her. Aber vom Geschmack gerechtfertigt. Die Musik im Hintergrund war zu laut und passte meiner Meinung nach nicht zu diesem Ort!

(Translated by Google) Super delicious restaurant with a pleasant atmosphere. Perfect for the date night with my partner. The menu also has a great seasonal selection. We will be back. (Original) Super leckeres Restaurant mit angenehmen Ambiente. Perfekt für die Date Night mit meinem Partner. Außerdem hat die Karte eine tolle saisonale Auswahl. Wir kommen wieder.

(Translated by Google) Very stylish, elegant restaurant. The ambience is wonderful. Outside you have a direct view of the Weser. We were there for lunch. The music in the background and the very friendly service round off the restaurant experience. We will come back. (Original) Sehr stilvolles, elegantes Restaurant. Das Ambiente ist wundervoll. Man hat draußen ein direkten Blick auf die Weser. Wir waren zum Mittagessen dort. Die Musik im Hintergrund und der sehr freundliche Service runden das Restaurant Erlebnis ab. Wir werden Wiederkommen.

(Translated by Google) Great ambience and the service 1a with asterisk:) ...., but long waiting times for the starter and the main course. We were a group of 5 and we weren't all that enthusiastic about the quality of the main dishes, there is more. The pizzas were inedible, dry, too hard, sparingly topped and difficult to eat because there was not even pizza cutlery available. The other main courses were mediocre. So on the whole okay. However, don't really get the hype. (Original) Tolles Ambiente und die Bedienung 1a mit Sternchen :).... , jedoch lange Wartezeiten bei der Vorspeise sowie zu der Hauptspeise. Wir waren eine Gruppe von 5 Personen und waren alle nicht super begeistert von der Qualität der Hauptgerichte, da geht noch mehr. Die Pizzen waren ungenießbar, trocken, zu hart, sparsam belegt und schwer zu essen, da nicht mal Pizza-Besteck vorhanden ist. Die anderen Hauptgerichte waren Mittelmäßig. Also im großen und ganzen in Ordnung. Verstehe den Hype jedoch nicht so richtig.

(Translated by Google) Delicious food, presented very aesthetically, portions are large. Very nice service. The waiting time is a bit long, but results from the fact that the dishes are prepared regularly and with fresh products. I highly recommend it! (Original) Leckeres Essen, sehr ästhetisch präsentiert, Portionen sind groß. Sehr netter Service. Die Wartezeit ist etwas lang, ergibt sich aber aus der Tatsache, dass die Gerichte regelmäßig und mit frischen Produkten zubereitet werden. Ich kann es nur empfehlen!

(Translated by Google) The prices are a bit more expensive. But you have a nice view and the food tastes great too, so it's definitely worth the money! (Original) Die Preise sind etwas teurer. Dafür hat man aber einen schönen Ausblick und das Essen schmeckt auch ausgezeichnet, also ist es das Geld auf jeden Fall wert!

(Translated by Google) We were only there briefly to have a drink. Very nice service. The fruit spritzers are very tasty and come with a GLASS straw. Top👍 (Original) Wir waren nur kurz da um etwas zu trinken. Sehr nette Bedienung. Die Fruchtschorlen sind sehr lecker und mit GLASstrohhalm. Topp👍

(Translated by Google) Everything ok, there is nothing to complain about. Food good, service good, so 4 stars. (Original) Alles Ok, es gibt nichts zu meckern. Essen gut, Bedienung gut, also 4 Sterne.

(Translated by Google) Very friendly and helpful service, pleasant furnishings, but a bit very loud background noise, so conversations were sometimes difficult. The cuisine can certainly improve - fish was cooked through and dry. (Original) Sehr freundlicher und hilfsbereiter Service, angenehme Einrichtung allerdings etwas sehr laute Geräuschkulisse daher teilweise schwierige Gespräche. Küche kann sich sicher noch steigern - Fisch war durchgegart und trocken.

(Translated by Google) Very tasty and very friendly, outside a beautiful view of the Weser. But they can also be paid for (Original) Sehr lecker und sehr freundlich, draußen schöner Blick auf die Weser. Lassen sie sich aber auch bezahlen

(Translated by Google) We went here for dinner this Friday and can only recommend this restaurant! Very tasty food in combination with the staff (thanks to the waiter Tim) result in a successful evening ... what more could you want (?) Price / performance is therefore fully justified. (Original) Wir waren diesen Freitag hier spontan zum Abendessen und können dieses Restaurant einfach nur empfehlen! Sehr leckeres Essen im Zusammenspiel mit Personal (hier ein Danke an den Kellner Tim) ergeben einen gelungen Abend...was will man mehr (?) Preis/Leistung ist demnach voll gerechtfertigt.

(Translated by Google) A great place. Food was very good, staff at its best and a great atmosphere. Right on the Weser! (Original) Ein tolles Lokal. Essen sehr gut, Personal vom Feinsten und ein tolles Ambiente. Direkt an der Weser!!

They always have offer of the day menu for a good price

(Translated by Google) Great food, very friendly staff, I can only recommend it (Original) Super Essen, sehr freundliches Personal, kann ich nur empfehlen

I’m a person of colour, African to be precise. Got there with a friend, we sat in the middle of two German families. The waitress passed by us without even giving a menu but said hello to the family on my left. Finally when she got the menu, she held the menu high and handed it over me in my face like I was a child, we left immediately. I encountered racism at its highest. This restaurant discriminates and would not recommend!
