July settles into its own rhythm.
Long afternoons. Cool ocean breezes. Tables filled with fresh seafood. Bright colors that somehow taste exactly like summer.
This month's specials celebrate everything we love about the season—fresh ingredients, bold flavors, and meals worth gathering around.
🥭 𝐓𝐨𝐧𝐧𝐨 𝐂𝐫𝐮𝐝𝐨
Sushi-grade ahi tuna tossed with creamy avocado, sweet mango, crisp cucumber, roasted red peppers, and our soy ginger marinade. Finished with peppery arugula, balsamic glaze, fresh lemon, and extra virgin olive oil. Cool, vibrant, and incredibly refreshing.
🐟 𝐆𝐫𝐢𝐥𝐥𝐞𝐝 𝐒𝐰𝐨𝐫𝐝𝐟𝐢𝐬𝐡
A thick-cut swordfish steak grilled until lightly charred, then finished with bright salmoriglio—extra virgin olive oil, fresh lemon juice, garlic, and parsley. Served with rice pilaf and roasted summer vegetables that bring every bite together.
🥜 𝐁𝐨𝐫𝐧 𝐢𝐧 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐏𝐁&𝐉
Childhood nostalgia meets happy hour. Skrewball Peanut Butter Whiskey, Chambord raspberry liqueur, clarified cranberry juice, and a miniature peanut butter and jelly sandwich perched on top just because it makes people smile.
💚 𝐁𝐞𝐧𝐣𝐚𝐦𝐢𝐧𝐳
Bright Midori melon liqueur, Lillet Blanc, and gin come together in a cocktail that's crisp, refreshing, and unmistakably summer.
July doesn't last long.
Neither do these specials.
Come spend a little of the season with us at Riva Fish House, where every table comes with fresh coastal flavors and one of the best views on the Santa Cruz Wharf.
