My time at Riviera Tapas Bar tonight was a singularly enjoyable experience in the 1.5 years I’ve lived in the Hyattsville area. Patricia was attentive, informative, kind, professional, engaging, and a breath of fresh air. She spoke with me in detail about the philosophy she and her husband use in running Riviera, crafting the menu (food and beverage), embracing clientele, and motivating and training staff. It was unlike any conversation I’ve had with proprietors around the world over the last two decades. And then there was the food and drink - the stars of the show. I enjoyed a light yet filling, clean yet flavorful meal. The octopus and chorizo with fingerling potatoes was perfect. The flavors, textures, and presentation simply hit! And the crab cakes (all meat) with quinoa and brussels sprouts weren’t something I knew I needed, but I indeed needed all of it. Although tapas, the portions were significant, yet the meals were light enough that I could fully enjoy the two. The array of drinks was varied, creative, and inspiring. The pomegranate martini, the BSB with a churro to boot, and the house margarita were individual adventures of flavor and creativity. Each delivered. And then there is the pricing. No complaints there. Reasonable and a steal of a deal. This is my new go-to restaurant, and that’s before I’ve tried their unbelievable happy hour! Looking forward to returning and trying new dishes each visit.

Today, I had the pleasure of brunch at Riviera Tapas Bar, thanks to a friend’s recommendation, and it did not disappoint! I tried the Brioche French Toast, which was perfectly soft and topped with fresh, sliced strawberries and bananas. The warm syrup added just the right amount of sweetness. My friend had eggs Benedict with a side of fruit. Both dishes were flavorful and satisfying. the service was friendly and attentive, and the cozy atmosphere made for a great dining experience. The restaurant filled up quickly, and while there was a lively buzz of chatter, it added to the welcoming vibe without being overwhelming. Overall, it was a great brunch spot, and I’d definitely recommend giving it a try if you’re looking for delicious food and a relaxed ambiance!
