Excellent seafood and inspiring views of the lake and skyline make this Navy Pier restaurant a winner.

The Scene
Alongside business types in town for conventions and tourists taking in the sights are born-and-bred Chicagoans celebrating anniversaries, birthdays and third dates. Why? Because even though Riva falls prey to the crowds and high prices of Navy Pier, the food is really, really good. The dining room offers an excellent lake and skyline view, day and night.

The Food
When your server delivers your menu, chances are they'll recommend the ''filet mignon'' of tuna. As the name suggests, it's tuna cut like filet, grilled like filet and rare as the day it was hatched. Other good choices from the extensive seafood menu include light, flaky Dover sole and fresh black grouper. For dessert, try some handmade mango ice cream or sinful creme brulee.
