I made reservations at Le Rivage after reading the review by John Mariani (journalist and food and wine critic I respect). It is welcoming that this place offers the Prix Fixe menu all night, and not just before the shows. We had a reservation at 7pm after seeing the matinee and were seated right away. The space is warm and inviting, with string lights adorning the arches. The tables were WAY to close together though. There is no way to go to the restroom if you don't move the table completely out into the aisle, which disrupts everyone around you, including the servers. Our wine bucket just barely fit between our table and the one next to us, which crowded the space even more. There was also barely enough room on the table for our plates and glasses.
We took advantage of the very reasonably priced Prix Fixe menu with very generous portions. Here is what we ordered and what we thought:
Steak Tartare – very fresh and flavorful with just a tad too much red onion that overpowered the beef. I would order it again though as I am a fan of steak tartare.
Baked Stuffed Mussels – herbed cheesy breadcrumb mixture on top of mussels that were rich and fantastic!
Steamed PEI Mussels – I love mussels, and these were right up my alley. However, there seemed to be cream in the sauce that was not in the description. That made them richer, so I could only finish half of the dish. The frites could have been fried for about two minutes more. They were too soft.
Steak Au Poivre – Great flavor in the sauce, the potatoes and haricot verts were cooked and seasoned perfectly. The filet was a perfect medium rare.
Crème Brulé and Chocolate Mousse- both perfect.
I highly recommend this restaurant for the ambiance, food, and value. Just ask for a table with some space around you!
