Riviera Restaurant

San Clemente locals secret bar and bites. Amazing staff. Delicious food with a good variety. Modern casual environment.

The food here is pretty good and priced relatively compared to the other nicer restaurants around San Clemente. The chilaquiles were really good and the avocado toast was great as well. The drinks were well made and decently priced. Our only concern/negative feedback would be the staffing. The people are great, kind and wonderful to be around. There were just a few moments where we had to wait a bit longer than necessary due to the bartender(the only one serving) was overwhelmed with the guests. To be fair, there were a couple of larger tables, but an additional server would have made this a 5 star experience. We will definitely be back! Parking: Riviera Restaurant is located inside the San Clemente Inn. Both the Inn and Restaurant share a large parking lot.

Great service! Beautiful food. Nice modern styling. We had a great time here and everything was really tasty!

What a great place! Aaron was a great bartender! Super attentive and great cocktails! The ambiance was super charming!

The ambiance is fantastic, beautiful place to meet up with people and chill. The food was amazing - absolutely delicious and Aaron, our server, was spot on. We will definitely be back!

Great atmosphere, great food, and great service. Will definitely be coming back again soon.

This place is a total hidden gem. The menu is incredibly well crafted, and the cocktails are fun and unique! Great bar and impeccable service all around! Happy hour is a great time to get some drinks and try the appetizers! Menu is upscale but approachable! Great space for parties of any size and special occasions!

Bait and switch restaurant. None of the professional pictures of dishes on the website are actually on the menu... no scallops, no caviar, no oysters, no duck, no mussels, no lamb, no octopus, no swordfish, etc. Bulk of the menu is just tacos and basic entrees like salmon or sea bass. Be warned.
