A Weekend of Events

Happy hump day! Come in and enjoy a Wet Woody. 

Too much?

Anyhow, we had a busy weekend filled with events here on the South Shore. Last Friday Riva attended the 43rd Annual Evening of Food and Wine Tasting event put on by Soroptimist International of South Lake Tahoe. In the event of enjoying wine from 25 of California's top wineries and food from 20 popular restaurants in South Shore, the proceeds of the event go to improving the lives of girls and women in local communities and throughout the world. This year, Chef Eric prepared our ever popular crab stuffed chili relleno served with Diablo sauce and avocado crema. You'll be happy to know that not only was it a crowd favorite but our appetizer menu is graced by this delicious stuffed chili. Come give this puppy a try.

Sunday the South Tahoe Wedding and Honeymoon Association hosted their annual Something Blue bridal expo. Over 300 registered brides attended the one stop wedding shop and gathered information from wedding specialists across the board from bakeries, photographers, coordinators, caterers, and reception venues (Riva Grill being the best option, of course.) As a little treat for brides and grooms we prepared s'mores bites: a marsh mellow on a stick, dipped in chocolate then in ground graham crackers. Roast these guys over a small flame and you have yourself a mess free campfire treat that will make your heart warm and fuzzy. A great idea for a dessert bar at any occasion, just saying.
