I'm so glad I booked this place for me and my partner. We'll definitely be going again. We went on Saturday at 6pm and booked a dog-friendly table at the front.The decor is lovely, the place is clean and inviting and perfect temperature.I had the beef wellington and my partner had a special of ribeye and eggs with chips. The meat inside the wellington was the most beautiful soft meat I've ever had and my boyfriend said his steak was really nice, it had a smoky flavour. My starter of lamb croquettes was also really nice.Service was wonderful and attentive without being overbearing and everything came out at perfect times.I'd give it 100/10 if I could.

Fantastic night and wonderful food. All meals arrived together for 15 of us. Such a nice atmosphere and beautifully decorated. Staff all really lovely and very attentive. Will definitely go again, both with work and with family.

We have been a patron of this lovely restaurant for 10!years. Our prelude go to before we flew off on our holidays. This time we were left disappointed with the disregard and disrespect of our experience. This was from one incident, the food and bar/waiting staff are amazing. However whilst we were enjoying our amazing starter a staff member stood between our romantic interlude, to take a photograph of a large table below us ‘ you don’t mind do you’ , his sweating head was not what we would have chosen as an accompaniment to our dish. We were astounded and disappointed for the complete disregard. We left our feedback not seeking any compensation but the assistant/general manager needs to ask Santa for a belt as the sight of him hoisting his trousers up when he delivered our desert was not a pretty professional sight to see

Eaten there a lot lately and the food is absolutely superb think maybe they have a new chef. We had a party upstairs in the private dining room on Sunday and everyone remarked that it was the best food they’d had in a restaurant for a long time. Cannot recommed Riva highly enough and looking forward to eating there again soon ??

I moved to Hale recently and been here a few times with friends and also my parents. The restaurant and staff are lovely. Very friendly and welcoming. The decor is cosy and sparkly and the music is not too loud. You can enjoy it and still have a proper conversation. There is a good selection of meat and fish with various vegetables and the cauliflower cheese soup was delicious. In fact I have only had great food here.

Great food great staff .. Lyndsay was so lovely.. would definitely go there again .. was our Christmas night out and the place felt very festive
We managed to take advantage of the private dining area upstairs for a surprise Baby Shower this afternoon, and it was fantastic! The food, service, team and overall experience were exceptional - thank you so much to Simon, Lindsey, Liz and the team for looking after us all. Liz in particular made sure we had photos taken as a group & in general was very attentive. It was like walking into an extended family home with such a friendly welcome which continued all afternoon. Thank you Team Riva :)

The best food in Hale. This is the second time I have visited Riva and I was just as impressed the second time, if not more impressed! We went last night (Thursday evening) and they had a singer on who was unbelievable! The food was amazing, our party opted for the snack board to start followed by beef Wellington, steak pie, fish and chips and the fillet steak and everyone said the food was 10/10. We were served by a lovely gentlemen who I assume was the owner.. whose service was incredible. If you want something different from the many Italians or Indians in Hale and want some real quality food, go to Riva!!
