Riva Fish House

Great bargin for seafood. Fish and calamari plate for $22 not bad for the portions. Well seasoned fries for sure could use a little seasoning on the calamari but still amazing with cocktail sauce. We missed happy hour seating but overall good service. For being at full capacity. Only a 15 minute wait around 5:45ish.

Riva Fish House was a great place to eat. The food was excellent and the service was just as good. I really enjoyed the fish and calamari. To top it off the views were wonderful with all the various birds flying aroundthe windows. I will be back.

As a Santa Cruz local I grab a to go soup all the time but really never sit in. My Aunt and Uncle came to visit us from Idaho. My Aunts last request was to have dinner on the water. I looked up the top three on the wharf and Rivas was one of them. The wait was around 30 minutes in a tight space so I suggest the vibrating numbers like some restaurants have to eliminate congestion. Every single person was very happy with their meal and I was even more pleased that I got away with $100 bill for 5 people amazing. Made me look good to my auntie and filled all her needs and dreams for their last dinner.

You WILL make seagull friends through the glass! They have great cocktails here, and excellent service. I came in shortly before the dinner rush and good the spicy steak tacos 🌮 I didn't stay too late, but I imagine the sunset views from this side of the wharf are divine.

We gave it a try, and it was awesome!!! Great good, excellent service, and incredible views. I had the fried fish sandwich, with a cup of clam chowder, and she had the Cod&Prawn Florentine,.she also had a Pineapple Coconut Margarita. Our Server was Dustin F. , he could do no better, we highly recommend this restaurant. We also liked the art for sale on the walls, good to see artist promotion and a small business helping out in every way
