I’ve eaten here about 6 times. Different times and days and always been very satisfied. Great food and service. Restaurant standards at slightly above pub prices. 10% optional service charge added to the bill. I’d doubt if anyone asked for it to be removed. When it’s this good I’m happy to pay.
Great to see this place back open. Visited today for dinner and drinks. First time dining, usually just visit for drinks but thought we would get dinner to support this amazing local place. We was not disappointed at all. We had all three courses, which were amazing with great service. We will definitely be back!
We haven't had a fantastic Sunday lunch like that for years, a beautiful roast for two to share. Big shout to chef and the lovely staff, looking forward to visiting again.
Nice that Riva is dog friendly. I have eaten there before but the Sunday lunch wasn't as good as last time. It was very busy, very noisy and service was slow, the standard of food wasn't at its best. Not ready to rush back.
The food surpassed our expectations and the staff were helpful and attentive. The seafood platter was the standout dish for us - definitely worth a visit. Lovely atmosphere too.
Absolutely beautiful, Food great,staff great....Best meal we've had in a long time
Thanks we will be back x
This is definitely our Saturday afternoon treat!
Amazing food, lovely people and a great atmosphere.
Always a great Sunday lunch!
Update: still as good as its ever been!
What a night, considering no chiefs, Simon on fire with the sharing boards. The pocket rocket Zo Unsworth on vocals. Whole place rockin. Just like it used to be. Thank goodness for the owners of Riva to stand by for Hale we need to show the love back, thank you guys. Special mention to Ella for the dance 🤣
Amazing food and brilliant service. Liz was so helpful and kind.
Called in on a Sunday as the restaurant we had booked fir my
partner.s birthday was closed and their website was still taking bookings!
Riva fitted us in even though they were full and they had a large party of guests.
Excellent service . Best Sunday lunch we have had for years obviously a chef who knows about food.
Nothing was too much trouble.
Highly recommended we will return!
After eating food in this nice place I've changed my mind about British cuisine! Meal was perfect! The owner very welcoming. For sure will be back to try Sunday roast.
Absolutely delicious food. Great menu for vegetarians too!
This is the best restaurant in Hale. Soon as you walk in you feel so welcomed. Staff so nice can't do enough. Food always excellent.
We booked in for lunch Friday afternoon, been here a few times.
The food was gorgeous, and the owners who were serving are just natural lovely people. A great experience.
A great unpretentious spot.
Lovely staff, lovely food, lovely decor!
We would highly recommend Riva Hale, I have eaten a few times here now and the food has always been amazing. The staff have always been very welcoming and always service with a smile. You receive a lovely warm welcome.
I just loved the atmosphere and the beautiful deco making the full dining experience very pleasant.
The Sunday roast was the best I have ever had, the lamb was cooked to perfection.
I can't wait to return- Thanks again!
