The Riviera Bar & Grill is in Punta Gorda in back of the Riviera Marina. Docking is sparse with only 4-5 slots available dockside. Access the canals to the restaurant from Gasparilla Sound - Charlotte Harbor at Ponce de Leon Boat Ramp or south of that at Alligator Creek or north of that through the canals beginning to the left of the red roof Colony Point Condominiums working your way south through the canals. If you like poking through the canals, this is a fn ride.
This restaurant is outstanding! Service was spot on, Heidi was spectacular. The grouper reuben was heavy on the grouper and delicious. The view from the picnic tables was outstanding. Calm and peaceful but every once in a while, a special boat goes by as you eat. Will go back very very soon.
