A Legacy of Elegance Since 1947
The story of The Riviera Supper Club began in a post-war era of optimism and celebration. Founded in 1947, our establishment was conceived as a haven for La Mesa's community—a place where sophistication met warmth, and every evening promised an unforgettable experience.
1947: The Grand Opening
The Riviera opened its doors on University Avenue, introducing the supper club concept to Southern California with live music, fine dining, and an ambiance of refined glamour.
The 1980s: A New Chapter
Embracing the vibrant energy of the decade, The Riviera evolved, adding The Turquoise Room—a dedicated space designed for intimate gatherings and private celebrations, further cementing our role as a premier event destination.
Today: Honoring Tradition
While we continuously refresh our culinary offerings and ambiance, the core promise remains unchanged: to provide a timeless, upscale dining experience where every detail is crafted for your enjoyment.
For over seven decades, we've been more than a restaurant; we've been the backdrop for La Mesa's most cherished moments.
