Salmon was ok but the sauce was amazing. It elevated the dish to another level. Everything i had was overall tasty and well thought. Wonderful place deserving visits on regular basis.

This is a very nice spot with a terrific, water-level view of the Saugatuck River and a very charming overall atmosphere. I had a business lunch at Rive, yesterday. Started off with a delicious French onion soup… then a burger for the main course (with French Fries rather than salad). I will return!

Fully enjoy the experience at Rive Bistro – the ambience especially outside under the tree lit patio along the river is excellent. The food has been good and recently went up a notch thanks to the new chef, Roland, from Bruxelles Brasserie (now closed) in Sono.
