Story

What started as a fish market has ended up an amazing fish restaurant and bar. At Riva Fish House, we offer a view with flavor. Dine at our seaside haven today!

When we gave up the fish market for the restaurant, our objective was to turn out the best possible meal at a cost working people with a family could afford. That didn’t mean something they could handle but under stress. It meant, and still means, a really good meal and beverages at a really comfortable price.

Our loyal and friendly staff now serves some of the best, award-winning seafood around. Voted Santa Cruz’s Best Seafood Restaurant, we offer something for everyone. Try our chowder, fish tacos, zucchini fries, or a killer crab sandwich. Big hunks of juicy tasty crab, seasoned to perfection, served on sourdough bread hand-made and baked to Riva’s exacting specifications, with cheese of your choice, grilled and hot for your body. It’s probably good for your mind, too.

Wash that down with a craft beer or handmade cocktail. Finish off your experience by trying some of our 12 flavors of delicious, creamy gelato that is sure to please.

Stop by and dine with us soon. You’ll walk in with a smile. You’ll walk out with a grin.

Reviews
Not recommended. We were visiting and picked this place for the glowing reviews but we were not impressed. The calamari was not great. Our food took forever to come out. Some tables around us were served before us even though we were seated before them. Our waitress did not check on us after our food was delivered late, I’m assuming it’s because the food arrived so late. Personally our waitress should be fired and the Hispanic bus boy should be promoted. He by far exceeded his duties and did a much better job than our waitress. The manager on duty was made aware of the situation and took off our appetizer. Horrible experience, stay away and find a better establishment there’s plenty on the pier.

Great atmosphere with big window views of Ocean. Food was excellent with fair prices. 3pm Happy Hour with good food specials. Shout out to Lindsay our server for excellent service. We'll be back

The best fish tacos over two continents! I mean it you have to try it. Attentive, courteous fast service and great menu choices both in foods and drinks. And amazing views. This is the second restaurant I tried in the Santa Cruz wharf and by far the best!

Have dined here for more than 20 years. Great view of the ocean and coast. Ambience is casual and comfortable. Food is prepared in simple way but delicious and flavorful. One of my favorite seafood restaurant.

I enjoyed my Mahi Mahi for dinner, as well as the calamari we had for appetizers! Great 3-6p happy hour, $3 drinks! The restaurant had a great view located on the wharf with large CLEAN glass windows, we were seated right by the window and enjoyed watching the seagulls and hearing the seals. It's not a fancy restaurant, definitely a casual place, but so good! *fun tip, we saw 20+ sea lions resting on the opposite side of the wharf on a low pallet near the water around sunset! Hope you find them too!
