Rivals Waterfront Sports Grille - Westin Diplomat Resort and Spa Reviews List

Rivals Waterfront Sports Grille - Westin Diplomat Resort and Spa

Rivals Waterfront Sports Grille is a casual, comfortable restaurant and meeting place, featuring a polished service style and ambience. It is showcased by a Chef inspired American menu with a global edge. The open kitchen allows guests to take note of the culinary expertise in a front row seat. A streamlined, simplistic, yet profound mixture of martinis, drafts, and wines completes this creative food and beverage experience. Rivals" interior ambience is driven by an edgy, classic rock soundtrack with a backdrop of sports action; presented on 32 individual high-definition plasma big screens. Large groups are encouraged with two private dining rooms, a semi private championship billiards room and a separated lounge and bar area. The exterior exudes the calmness and relaxing atmosphere of the dockside with views of the Intracoastal Waterway. Docking for the mega yacht as well as for the casual sailor's ship is encouraged.

"We enjoyed a nice dinner outdoor dinner on thr waterway. Staff was friendly, attentive and customer oriented. Good menu for a sports bar. Outside dining was quieter than indoor. Perfect spot to catch a light dinner and drink."

"The food is better than you think it's gonna be. Been twice and both times was impressed with the above average pub/sports bar menu. A little slow, but would rather have the kitchen take their time than cut corners. Great if you're staying at the Westin."
