Riva Fish House - Santa Cruz

Great food service! We came here on a Saturday night, the place was packed. Paul the GM went above and beyond to help our party of 8, with young kids. He brought them crayons/coloring books and drinks while we waited for a table. He checked in on us several times while we waited. Once seated our server (Leo or Leol) was great! He was friendly, prompt and accommodating to some picky eaters. Of all the places we visited during our 4 days stay, this one was the best. It was the only place we felt welcomed with our young kids. All the food was great, and the value was great. We will return!

Such a special place! Worth the wait! The food, the drinks, the appetizer and gelato- you have to get it all! I wish I had photos but we were too busy enjoying the views and the the food! The service is next level- our first time but we felt like regulars. Will be back for sure!

We were sat right away which was awesome considering we were expecting a wait. Can't beat the beautiful waterfront view! Our food was delicious and came out super quick as well! Last, our server Neal was so nice and went the extra mile to make sure we were taken care of.

Great spot on the wharf for seafood and a view. Service was very friendly and accommodating. Worth the stop if you’re out on the pier.

We had dinner here after a full day at the Boardwalk. I wish I could sat we loved it but it was just ok. It's overpriced for what you get and its loud and very busy. The view however was beautiful at sunset! I had some tacos and they were just ok. The best part was the Gelato for dessert!
