This new restaurant looks fantastic when you walk in. The menu is great, the staff are all extremely friendly, very presentable and go out of their way to make you comfortable. The food was delicious and would recommend this place to anybody local or visiting. 100% the best restaurant in Helensburgh
Had a lovely meal last night, it was so tasty, I would definitely recommend it to everyone. The staff were very helpful and lovely, nothing was too much for them. Will definitely be back.
My friend and I had a lovely meal here, delicious food and a great cocktail list! Lots to choose from on the menu and a really cozy, relaxed atmosphere. I liked having my meal in the restaurant and then sitting in the bar area for a cocktail - look forward to going back!
First visit for lunch today, fantastic job on the renovation. Great welcome from lovely staff offering a friendly service. Food was excellent, happily recommend Riva, another great restaurant for Helensburgh
Just had a lovely meal here for Father’s Day. Everyone was so friendly and polite and the food was lovely. Quite big portions too and good value for money. Would definitely recommend.
Beautiful place. Food was amazing. Purple rain was the liquor of the week and it was amazing. Great staff and great chefs. Everyone here is friendly...amazing restaurant.
I have to highly recommend a visit to Riva. Friendly welcome on arrival and beautiful relaxing decor. Staff attentive, varied menu with something for everyone. Food fantastic and reasonably priced. Can't wait to visit again.
Second time we’ve been and the food and the staff are just excellent - would definitely recommend

What a beautiful meal myself and my mum had highly recommend you eat here
First time visiting Riva restaurant they had such a nice interior..the cocktails are really good, we got Caesar salad and truffle Parmesan fries it was so tasty . Great service too I will visit again ☺️
My husband and I booked a weekend away for my birthday and we could not be happier with our choice. The rooms are modern, clean and spacious, with every little detail covered, from Netflix on the TV to the umbrella in the closet. The dinner was exquisite I had the scallops for starters and sea bass with risotto for my main which was all cooked to perfection. We then started the next morning of with a delicious breakfast in bed as we listened to the record player included in the room. I would highly recommend Riva to anyone looking for a reasonably priced weekend away.
Was served by the tall dark haired girl, I think she must have been the manager - if she’s not she should be because she was outstanding. However the ed Sheeran looking guy on bar was hostile and standoffish, would have felt unwelcome had it not been for the waitresses efforts to make us feel at home. Our waitress seemed to be running all over the place to ensure we were all seen to, seems like she was compensating for the lack of effort from other staff and very impressed with her ability to run the place seemingly single-handedly. Impressed with the food, but there appears to be a lack of leadership on the floor, with the red haired guy openly making efforts to undermine our waitress, which made things uncomfortable for us. If it hadn’t been for her it would not have been a 4 star review.
On vacation and stopped in Helensburgh for a quick stop. Decided on Riva for lunch. Good choice,soup and artisan bread delicious as was the warm smoked salmon bun with chips you remember your mum making. Would definitely recommend. Good service as well.
It was a flying visit but so glad we stopped by .
Everything we ordered was fresh,delicious and well made from the Drunken Mussels , our seafood mains to the kids chicken tenders with handcut chips.
Service was friendly and efficient too.
Keep up the good work and will be back soon.
Second time here in as many weeks, mussels to start then crab tagliatelle , both delicious, we sat in the sun with our meals etc watching the world wander past. I've said it before and will say it again, if you haven't tried Riva for lunch/dinner you're missing out, obviously depending on your palate, we have been twice and eaten different food and all have been delicious and huge(we couldn't finish again) service was really good too, the staff really do try their best to please you.
The food was quick to make, fresh and delicious. Portions were also the perfect amount! (And I love my food!) The gents toilets were on the other side of the restaurant which I imagine might be a bit of a hinderance on a busy night. The sea theme was well done without being so obvious that it was in your face and more importantly it didn't come across as the least bit cheesy.
Overall very satisfied with my experience. I would definitely recommend!
Moules Mariniere to start. A good portion of Mussels served in a delicious sauce with a slice of bread on the side.
A very tasty dish which was also good value.
I had the Spaghetti Carbonara as a main. It wasn’t too creamy, but it tasted nice with plenty of Pancetta and topped with Parmesan.
2 courses for £13.50 was excellent value for money.
We were here for a breakfast today and I must say: It‘s an amazing place to eat! The personell is very kind. The meals are fresh and delicious. The ambience is modern and classical together. Very recommended!
We came here for dinner whilst staying in Loch Lomond. I had the beef lasagne which came with chips and my partner had the crab linguine. Both were massive portions and the food was pretty cheap as well. Would recommend for a big feed
The bartenders tonight are very excellent! They are honestly doing too much: most places would have them strictly bar and these two are serving tables, bussing and everything else on top of making stellar cocktails, but they're still on top of it all.
Oh my, oh my! Their menu is fabulous, place is lovely, staff are stars! And you have the sea just across the street! Highly recommended :)
Went in here for lunch during a little birthday outing with my sister - what a great find. Lunch menu wasn't extensive but not a bad thing (in my opinion) and had something for most tastes. Great fresh food, good sized portions, great prices, friendly staff and lovely relaxed surroundings. Ticked all my boxes. Would recommend and will definitely be back.
Very rare for me to leave reviews the food was delicious and lovely atmosphere.
