I am always pleased with the quality of service and delicious food at Gordon's restaurant. My wife and I went early for cocktails before our dinner reservation, and Amy, the bartender, was very warm and welcoming.

As always, from the valet to the table, service is stellar. My guest really enjoyed the Mimosas, I ordered a spicy Bloody Mary with a potato vodka (Chopin). Our server was professional and didn't bat an eye at my request. She was fantastic from the get-go. I had the Avocado Toast, my favorite (next to the Bagel & Smoked Salmon) - it was amazing. Not your average Avocado Toast! My guest opted for the Rise & Shine brunch. I tried the Country Potatoes and Yum! She enjoyed everything. One of the best views of the lake, in my opinion. And the decor is elegant, mountain chic. As a reminder, they are a credit/debt card only establishment. So tips are good for cash, but to pay the bill, cash is not an option. I have my next trip focused on dinner and my eyes on the Onion Soup and Seafood Pasta!

We always have a great experience at Riva! The service and food is always excellent! We typically sit on the patio when the weather is nice to be closer to the water and enjoy fresh air, but it was too cold (November) and late in the day (dinner), so we sat inside and still enjoyed it!

The prime rib was quite good and cooked just right per our preferences. It was tender and seasoned perfectly. The baked potatoes and fries were quite good also. The atmosphere was soothing and enjoyable.
