Spent NEW YEAR'S EVE at RIVA on Navy Pier and had a wonderful time. We arrived 20 minutes late and they still honored our reservations and gave us a lakefront table for four. The food was delicious and the service was impeccable. I would highly recommend this restaurant for both couples and families. GO RIVA! more
