Went for a romantic dinner and the atmosphere and views are indeed amazing and we were lucky to have a great waiter. Unfortunately the food is not on par with the views or the service for that matter. The starter was lovely... a bisque with lobster and langostine. The mains not so lovely...The beef tasted off and we had to send it back.

The View Skybar at Hotel Riverton ended up being a genuinely enjoyable surprise during our stay in Gothenburg. Initially, we didn’t have a reservation, and the entire lounge area was booked for the evening, but the staff went above and beyond to make space for our group of five. They found us a comfortable spot, checked in on us regularly, and managed to give us the full experience without compromising on service. That kind of thoughtful accommodation immediately set the tone for the night. Once seated, we were treated to an absolutely incredible view of the city. The Skybar is perched high enough that you get a panoramic sweep of Gothenburg’s rooftops and waterfront—a perfect backdrop as the city lights start to glow after dark. It’s elegant without being pretentious, which matched the vibe of our group perfectly. The drinks themselves were excellent. The cocktail list was well-balanced between classic and inventive, and everything we ordered was made with care and precision. The bartenders clearly know their craft, and there was an attention to detail that elevated the entire experience. We stayed longer than we’d planned, just enjoying the view, conversation, and atmosphere. What stood out most, though, was the staff’s hospitality. Even on a busy night, they made us feel welcome and unrushed. If you’re staying at Riverton or simply want a beautiful place to end your evening in Gothenburg, the Skybar is absolutely worth it.

We came for afternoon tea after a spa session at the Riverton Hotel, but unfortunately, the experience got off to a poor start. Similar to a previous review, we were barely greeted. Whether it was because we arrived early, looked younger than the typical clientele, or didn't immediately order champagne, we were made to feel like an inconvenience from the outset. There was little to no explanation of the limited tea selection (only six kinds), and our empty glasses and cups were often ignored. It was hard to get anyone's attention as there were only two waitresses on the floor. The one serving our table, an older staff member, was quite cold at first (though she did warm up later), while the younger waitress, who seemed more friendly, was assigned to a different section. The food was a mixed bag. The three-tiered stand featured scones, savouries, and sweets. The scones weren't great and didn't resemble traditional English ones, nor did they have clotted cream. The savouries had a clear Swedish influence; the shrimp sandwich was a highlight, but the meringue with duck liver mousse and jelly was a textural and flavour mismatch. The sweets were fine but unremarkable. On the positive side, the setting was pleasant, with a good view from the 12th floor and a nice, busy but not overcrowded atmosphere. Ultimately, the service really let the experience down. I cannot recommend this afternoon tea. In fact, unless you're in Stockholm, you're probably better off skipping the afternoon tea concept here entirely and spending your money on an excellent restaurant meal instead.

Beautiful place! Service was magnificent, we had the afternoon tea and it was superb along with some nice fizz Views along the river were good considering the poor weather conditions outside. We had a brilliant afternoon
