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.

Unfortunately, our family had a poor experience at the restaurant. The location is great on the Saugatuck River; though, that may have contributed to our issue during dinner. In addition, the...
