A terrific East Bay restaurant – My wife and I have dined at Rivoli with other couples four times in the past 9 months. Each time we have found the food to be wonderful -- creative, fresh, interesting, and plentiful. The interior is pleasant, though the tables are a bit close together, and the service has been very good. Prices are extremely reasonable for what you get.
Goodbye to Rivoli – I have been a devoted fan of Rivoli since it opened, but after several disappointing meals there recently, I don't plan on going back. The food can still be very good, though less dependably now. But it's the rest of the experience - the long waits (even w/reservation) in the uncomfortable and busy waiting area, the tightly crammed tables in the dining room, and the rude service, that are turn-offs.

wonderful! – wow, we had such a great dinner here last weekend. having recently moved to the east bay, we've noticed that the service is often horribly lacking in many restaurants. Rivoli was like a breath of fresh air. everyone was so nice and we felt perfectly comfortable all night. The food was mouth watering and done very well. all in all a great experience!
The Best!!! – Definitely one of the best restaurants in the Bay Area. Food was scrumptious, service was excellent, and ambience was very very comfortable.
god stuff – The food is well executed and imaginative, the service is attentive without being overbearing, the decor is nice, and in the evening, the raccoon parade through the picture window is a treat.
