   Been a customer since its beginnings. Riva has taken fine dinning in PR to another level. The changes that have taken place have improved ambience and the palate effect. Limited but very well thought wine list. If you want a relaxed Michelin like rated experience, this is the place to go!

   It was just the right amount of fancy without being stuffy. We were greated by a lovely young woman with a big smile. Soon after the manager and staff came to say hello all with big smiles made us feel welcome and comfortable. The canapés were amazing one plate of bite sized delicious little bites mostly seafood. The gnocchi and pork belly should be a poem and the duck and branzino were amazing left me wanting more flavors so good.

   I was prepared to be disappointed - fine dining options in a hotel lobby often miss the mark in my experience. This restaurant was quite good. Food was innovative, very well prepared and presented, service was good and price was reasonable for the quality. Chef Ben Wald seems to me to be a rising star. The tasting menu is well presented, has good options and al a carte is also available.

    This place is truly astonishing, not only for their exceptional service but also for their mouth-watering cuisine. I had the pleasure of trying their in-house speciality, which came with freshly baked bread that was simply divine. So much so that I couldn't resist breaking my low-carb diet. As for my main course, I ordered the gnocchi and I must say, it was the best I have ever tasted. The gnocchi was incredibly fresh, firm, and had the perfect amount of chewiness. The creamy sauce complemented it perfectly. Overall, I had an enjoyable dining experience and I highly recommend this restaurant to anyone looking for a truly exceptional meal.

    By far, this restaurant deserves 5 stars for service and food quality. This is a hidden gem in San Juan. Impressive. Currently serving a 5 course meal and caviar. Every course was very well selected and crafted. Superb waiter and maitre'd service. Highly recommend. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

    This is the best restaurant in Isla Verde. The food is outstanding and you get plenty of it. Service is top-shelf. We were spoiled here with great cocktails, wine, service, and food. Everything was great. Better than Marmalade in Old San Juan, and right off the beach.

    OK, so where do I begin with this fabulous restaurant? From the moment we walked in when one of the staff gave me a little hanger for my handbag, so it wouldn’t get messed up on the table to one of the partners coming over to greet us and speak to us personally, and then onto the most fabulous meal ever. Not only was the presentation of each dish so beautiful but the tastes were amazing. Every dish was bursting with flavor, and I thoroughly enjoyed my meal and would not hesitate to come back again. We were here last year and loved it but to be honest, I think I loved it even more this time! I also need to give an honorable mention to one of our waiters Javier, and to one of the partners, Joe, who are truly believers of fine customer service. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED.
