About Riviera Dining Group

Riviera Dining Group is a luxury hospitality group that develops and operates distinctive dining destinations, bringing together culinary excellence, sophisticated design, entertainment, and elevated hospitality to create memorable guest experiences.

Redefining What Hospitality Can Be

AVA Coconut Grove's indoor dining room.

Founded in Miami in 2021, Riviera Dining Group began with a single idea: that a great restaurant should feel like an experience, not a transaction. That idea became MILA, our flagship concept in South Beach, which quickly grew into one of the city's most sought-after tables and a fixture on national "best restaurants" lists.

From there, our portfolio expanded to include CASA NEOS, AVA MediterrAegean Winter Park, AVA MediterrAegean Coconut Grove and CLAUDIE.

Our philosophy

Every Riviera Dining Group venue is built on the same foundation: minimalist design, a reverence for natural beauty, and the conviction that food is one of life's essential pleasures. We draw inspiration from the Mediterranean, from Japan, and from the Cyclades - global influences filtered through a distinctly Miami sensibility.

We call it luxury, redefined: not ornate for its own sake, but intentional in every detail. From the plate, to the room, to the moment a guest walks through the door.

Our Core Values

We vow to serve clients, treat colleagues and elevate professional standards with these following values deeply implanted in our core:

PASSION

Embracing the mission, being self-motivated to inspire excellence and finding creative ways to eliminate obstacles and cultivate growth.

INTEGRITY

Being truthful and honest, always doing the right thing, even in the face of adversity.

HOSPITALITY

Treating our colleagues and guests with warmth, respect, compassion, fairness and professionalism.

COLLABORATION

Working together as a team, nurturing ideas to achieve the best results.

EXCELLENCE

Continuously striving to do more and be greater.

Our Next Chapter

Riviera Dining Group is entering its next phase of growth with an ambition that extends beyond South Florida.

Upcoming projects represent the next evolution of the RDG portfolio, including HONŌ, an elevated Japanese steakhouse planned for the 65th floor of E11EVEN Hotel & Residences in Miami in Spring 2027.

As we grow, our goal is to become better, stronger, and more influential with every new destination we create.
