Rive is a French Bistro on the Saugatuck River in Westport, created by Chef Eric Sierra whose Bistro des Amis in downtown Westport was, for a decade, the go-to place of some of the world's best French bistro cooking.
Like the legendary bistros of Paris, Rive is warm, and convivial, a true bistro populaire.
The dining room, with a wrap-around wall of windows overlooks a bend in the river, there is fireplace for winter, and in warm weather there is an outdoor patio that feels like a cafe on the Seine.
With a suave lighting, urban decor and, of course, un comptoir (a bar) serving hip cocktails and wine by the glass, Rive is very much of-the -moment, as popular Parisian bistros today.","diningStyle":"Cucina informale","publicTransit":null,"executiveChef":"Roland Olah","entertainment":null,"cateringDetails":null,"website":"http://www.rivebistro.com/","hoursOfOperation":"Lun–Sab 11:30–14:30\n Lun–Gio 17:00–21:00\n Ven, Sab 17:00–21:30\n Dom 17:00–20:30\n Brunch\n Dom 11:30–14:30","parkingDetails":null,"parkingInfo":"Parcheggio privato","dressCode":"Smart Casual","crossStreet":null,"additionalDetails":["Accesso per disabili","Banchetti","Bar con licenza liquori","Brunch nel Weekend","Caminetto interno","Happy Hour","Non fumatori","Pasto al Bancone","Patio/Posti all'aperto","Senza diritto di tappo","Stanza Privata","Vino","Vista"],"paymentOptions":["AMEX","Discover","Mastercard","Visa"],"type":"GuestCenter","stateId":1,"maxAdvanceDays":60,"rooms":null,"editorialLists":{"correlationId":"dc7a5014-1064-40ba-91f8-11928ab3f1ca","lists":[],"__typename":"EditorialLists"},"mostRecentReview":{"reviews":[{"text":"No dining outdoors due to rain however, we had the next best thing by eating in the courtyard near outdoors and the river.

Voted "VERY GOOD" by The New York Times. Rive is a French Bistro on the Saugatuck River in Westport, created by Chef Eric Sierra whose Bistro des Amis in downtown Westport was, for a decade, the go-to place of some of the world's best French bistro cooking.
Like the legendary bistros of Paris, Rive is warm, and convivial, a true bistro populaire.
The dining room, with a wrap-around wall of windows overlooks a bend in the river, there is fireplace for winter, and in warm weather there is an outdoor patio that feels like a cafe on the Seine.
With a suave lighting, urban decor and, of course, un comptoir (a bar) serving hip cocktails and wine by the glass, Rive is very much of-the -moment, as popular Parisian bistros today.

No dining outdoors due to rain however, we had the next best thing by eating in the courtyard near outdoors and the river. Everything was wonderful - food, service, noise level. DEFINITELY WILL RETURN AND HIGHLY RECOMMEND.

We were greeted with kindness and warmth by the hostess/owner. The setting was lovely. We ordered and were served quickly. The tuna salad nicoise and escargot were excellent. We will definitely be back again!!

I highly recommend Rive Bistro. The restaurant overlooks the Saugatuck River. The food is wonderful and the wait staff is very attentive. My main course was trout and my dinner date had steak. Both were excellent.
