Riva Cafe Chicago

It's not just the menu that makes Riva Cafe a bit different from its more formal upstairs sibling, Riva Crab House.

It's more than the relaxed dress code and hang-out-all-day mentality; it's the attitude. We bring fine dining to Navy Pier at Riva Crab House daily, and we're proud of it--we also like hanging with friends and customers alike and our personal side comes through best at Riva Cafe.
