Riviera Tapas Bar

The service here is always incredible and their tapas are top notch! My favorite thing to do is go for brunch on the weekends when they have all you can eat and drink.

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!

Awesome food, we ordered fried Brussel sprouts, potatoes, bacon wrapped dates, calamari, fried green tomatoes, bread w/ prosciutto & cheese was so amazing! & the best was Cappuccino & Churros was the Best!!!! Stumbled upon it and had such great service.

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

Just had my first happy hour at Riviera Tapa Bar and I enjoyed it. The fact that I was able to get parking right in the front was already a good sign. The staff was super attentive—the server took the time to explain the happy hour menu, which was great. I started with the house margarita; it was perfectly balanced (not too sweet/tart) and had the right kick. I ended up getting two! For food, the empanadas were fried perfectly crisp, though the beef filling was a touch on the dry side. But the calamari was awesome! Huge pieces, well-seasoned, and the texture was spot-on (I had never seen calamari pieces so big before). The overall ambience was fantastic, especially as the place got busy. I’d recommend checking out Riviera for happy hour. I would definitely visit again and perhaps for brun
