My husband and I came to Rivea for dinner this past July 4th. We live in Vegas half the year and have been to a ton of Vegas restaurants. We were excited to finally try Rivea. We sat down in a nice booth and we were given breadsticks and an olive anchovy tapenade which was addictive! I looked around and the decor was beautiful but I was put off by how some people were so casually dressed. We ordered our wine with the waiter who was very knowledgeable and gave us a great wine recommendation. After he brought the wine, a completely new waiter came over and asked us for our dinner order. We were confused at having a new waiter (the other guy disappeared and was a waiter not the sommelier) We asked what happened to the other waiter and he seemed upset that we were asking about it. Anyway we ordered three small appetizers to start. We expected the portions to be small but we basically got a dish that was pita bread and some crispy chickpea chips with dip. It was a let down. We ordered our mains with the new waiter. I enjoyed the lobster risotto which was very delicious and filling. My husband didn't enjoy his pasta dish and the waiter never came back over to ask how our food was and dropped off the check without saying a word. Overall it wasn't as upscale as we expected and the food was not great.
