Riva Fish House

Chowder was spot.on and the salmon was cooked perfectly so that you could eat the skin with it. Vegetables were also cooked pefectly. Very friendly service and really enjoyed the meal. Thanks

Small, quaint restaurant on the Santa Cruz Wharf. Daily specials, full bar, decent prices (when compared to other wharf restaurants). Great view, like other wharf restaurants. Good, friendly customer service.

Just simple the best. Me and my family have been going there for 25years. I have never had a bad meal or service. Everyone there is the best. And you can not bet the price’s for what you get. It has a great bar, and if Aldo the bar tender is working u have to try one of his Bloody Mary’s they are the best. And no matter were u sit u always get a million dollar view. Enjoy!

Good food, great view! Just a bit pricy, but great spot for a special seafood lunch, maybe when family is in town!
I usually get the shrimp sandwich with pepper jack cheese, they also make good clam chowder

Great as always. We went on Tuesday night the, locals night. And for now you get a 2-hour pass for parking to encourage you to shop on the cute stores that are all on the wharf.
My favorite meal is the calamari which is always done perfectly and their bread and butter of course. My friends dish is the salmon with different sauces you can choose from, a tasty rice with mixed vegetables. We always sit window-side even if we have to wait, to watch the surfing, birds, boats and scenery. The serve staff are friendly and efficient, even if you have special requests. As you walk in they have a place that you can order gelato, The full bar is on your right. The the restaurant is decorated tastefully, great atmosphere.
They have paintings from local artists that change frequently, nice selections. Bathrooms are small but clean. The prices are reasonable, good selection, with lunch and daily specials. Walk by the other places and try this out, then shop for awhile and enjoy the Wharf.
