Poolside bar and grill. Great fish tacos. Yummy drinks. Overlooking the Venetian pool.

After a dip in the pool & some tanning at Tao beach we were so hungry. Rivas was perfectly located for us to chow down. We were seated immediately & given menus & water. We ordered wings, a grilled chicken sandwich, a hotdog & fries. The food was delicious & the wings were tasty & crispy. The drinks were amazing we had a passion fruit mojito & a mint mojito. I will def come back!

This place was perfect for a quick lunch. My mom and I came here to eat because we were tanning in the pool area and needed some shade and food. We both ordered a Caesar salad. The salad was good; however, the chicken I had on mine was a bit dry. The service here was great and multiple servers kept refilling my water when it got to halfway. It was perfect because of how hot it was outside. I knocked off one star because when my mom received our bill, the waitress left another person's bill next to ours so we were able to see what someone else spent. I felt a little uncomfortable seeing someone else's bill next to ours and I wouldn't want someone seeing my bill. Otherwise, perfect place for a quick lunch outside.

This restaurant is a great, fun place to eat when staying at the Venetian. If you have a choice, definitely go for breakfast over dinner, as the food is significantly better. My girlfriends and I had a great time eating here, as it is outside and right by the pool so it is a very relaxing atmosphere with really good service as well. Breakfast was delish, but lunch was mediocre. I ordered a pizza that left something to be desired. Overall, this place is a great, relaxing place to eat when you want to chat with friends or family and eat some good food.

The location is great and the food is yummy. There's nothing better than reserving a chair by the pool then sauntering over to the shaded and cool area to get a nice base to start off the day =) Ordered the Spanish Scramble, which came with organic eggs, tasty chorizo, onions, tomatoes, cheese, and some country potatoes. Also had some of the strong and good coffee. Great way to start the day. Service is competent, but nothing special. On the way out, however, had to get one of their yard-length frozen drinks. The cocktail waitresses by the pool don't sell these; you gotta get them from Riva or from the bar in the Ventian Retail shops area. Got the Lava Flow, I think for 18 buck, with refills being cheaper. Super sweet, for sure, but hey, doctor it up with a bit (or a flask) of your own rum, and poolside just got better =) I'd totally eat here again. Great location and nice atmosphere.
