Riviera Restaurant

Well, we were so impressed with the restaurant that we came back a week later with friends and it was just as amazing as our first visit. This time we had the Brussels Sprouts starter which was excellent. My wife and her girlfriend had the Sea Bass which they both said was the best Sea Bass they EVER had! Our other friend had the Fillet which he too said was one of the best steaks he had ever had and I had the Rack of Lamb which was out of this world. The kitchen is doing some amazing work! The service was excellent and I’d like to give a big shout out to our server Rose who is very personable and very professional, she does a great job! Needless to say, we’ll be back….SOON!!!

Was my first meal in San Clemente and definitely one of the best. Eclectic menu with several renditions of duck! The Chilaquiles de Canard was so well balanced (and so not your friend's abuela's chilaquiles): tender duck, cinnamony sweet mole with a little kick, fresh cilantro... what's not to love? I got them with eggs over easy which I think was the right call. Service was also wonderful (shout out to my server Carol).

First off, prices weren't posted so we were a little cautious. It was pretty reasonably priced, and absolutely delicious. Even the coffee was notable. The venue was gorgeous with a lovely view, and the wait staff was wonderful. Pictures of the menu are attached.
