Riva - Inverness

This is a great restaurant in Inverness with beautiful views. However, I found the food to be average compared to the price, especially considering the additional 20% tax. I highly recommend the salmon with chives from the starter menu, as it was delicious and flavorful. The duck and fish dishes were okay. The plating was fancy and made a good first impression.

This restaurant was truly exceptional! Despite being very busy, we were able to secure a late reservation. The food was absolutely incredible, with a wide variety of options that made it hard to choose. We enjoyed a seafood platter, goatcheese mousse, ham hough, and oysters. For mains, we indulged in surf and turf (halibut and pigeon), ribeye steak, and delicious sides. We even took home some desserts that were heavenly. The staff truly made the experience even more memorable, with Elise and Nicki providing excellent service and knowledge about the menu, and bartender Sharice making a perfect after-dinner cocktail. It's definitely worth the price and time if you have the opportunity. Overall, a fantastic dining experience.

The vibe is elegant with tartan modern decor. The Sunday roast dinner was the most outstanding meal . The Yorkshire pudding was perfectly light with a complete of gourmet gravy . The presentation was provincial Scotland with copper accents. Staff was attentive and welcoming. Highly recommended!!!

The food and service were excellent at this restaurant. The staff was very friendly and attentive. The Cullen skink soup was delicious and hearty, and the fillet steak was cooked perfectly. The highlight was the thyme and red wine jus sauce, which I preferred over the peppercorn sauce. I would also recommend trying the sweet potato fries and feta cheese. The only reason I am giving it 4 stars is because the price was a bit high - £65 including tip for one person without alcohol or dessert. A full three-course meal for two with drinks could easily reach £200. However, the quality of the ingredients, attention to detail, and presentation justify the price for some. I would definitely return for a special occasion.

We were recommended this place by a tour guide and so glad we went, the food was amazing, some of the best seafood we have ever eaten. We live on an island and eat alot of fresh sea food but this place was exceptional in cooking and presenting the food. We were so happy with our meal we went back the next night and ate here again. The seafood platter starter was the highlight, also the lobster and fillet steak was cooked perfectly. Staff were very welcoming and attentive I can see why they won an award for customer service.
