Riviera
Dined on some new items at Riviera last night. As usual, they did not disappoint. I started with Chips to Order with salsa/guacamole. These are freshly fried tortilla chips sprinkled with a little salt. They’re served with a fresh salsa and fresh guacamole. I’m a sucker for chips and salsa and these did not disappoint. I especially liked the salsa, they used red onion instead of yellow onion, I’ll have to incorporate that into my salsa.
My main meal was a new addition. Mini Burgers and Frites. I’ve talked about the frites before (aka the best French fries ever) so something served with them would have a lot of competition. The mini burgers were up to the task. You get three burgers which I wouldn’t exactly call mini, they were fairly big and after this meal I was stuffed. Each burger has a different topping. One had crispy proscuitto, mozzarella and arugula; one had guacamole, romaine and manchego; One had lettuce tomato and onion. I really enjoyed the wide variety of tastes. This dish represents what I’ve come to expect from such a tasty dining establishment.
