Riviera At Massapequa

We got married here on May 20, 2023. Although the weather was terrible and I was initially disappointed about not being able to use the outdoor ceremony site, by the end of the night, I had completely forgotten about the rain. The indoor ceremony was stunning, and the photos turned out beautifully. From our maitre d', Megan, to the bridal attendant, Irene, and the entire waitstaff and bartenders, we couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Our guests are still talking about what an amazing time they had. There was never an empty glass on the tables, and there were no wait times at the bar. I highly recommend this venue!

VERY unsatisfactory. The waitstaff were unfriendly. They charge way too much per person. It's a filthy place. I will not recommend this place to anyone. A friend of mine used to work at this horrible catering hall and he told me that the owners are very obnoxious and rude, karma will get to them.

My wife and I had our wedding at the Riviera Waterfront Mansion back in August. The service that the team over there provided was truly unparalleled. The staff was extremely attentive, the bartenders were lively and personable, and ownership made sure every detail was perfect on our special day. I would definitely recommend using the Riviera to host any and all of your special occasions.

Recently attended a wedding reception at Riviera. It was a lovely location on the water with great areas for pictures. The interior has a rustic feel. Warm and dark wooden features with lovely classic decor. The dock in the back and sunset view was an added surprise. The weather wasn 't quite right for the full enjoyment of the outdoors at the time went though. The cocktail hour had a nice set up in a decent sized room. The quality of food was good and variety was great. I had chicken scarpariello, shrimp dishes, pasta dishes, and much more. They had a carving station, fruit station and the cold appetizers. The food was spread out so it was not all in one spot. There was one full bar area that was open during the cocktail area and the reception. There was also a cigar station for the reception. For the dinner courses it was the choices of chicken, fish steak etc. I chose the stuffed flounder. It was good and had a lot of seafood inside it. I enjoyed the cocktail hour food much more!!! Fried zucchini, ravioli and bacon wrapped scallops!!! The servers were a bit stingy if you didn 't ask for them to add more though. (I got three noodles served at the pasta area until I just asked for more, lol. My salad was missing croutons and the chicken at dinner was a bit dry when I tried some. The service looked like it needed some more servers or more experience. They were not quite ready for the evening. I had to ask for lemons about 7 times before I got some. I also asked for coffee since I wasn 't drinking or espresso and that wasn 't available until dessert. There should be options for those not drinking and need a pick me up before the night is over. It was a lovely wedding in general and everyone seemed to have a great time either way. My focus was mostly on the food and such since I was the designated driver of the night!

Pricey food, dirty pitchers, awful service, and nasty waitstaff. Avoid this place like the plague.
