Was Colin Turner at Riva a mag?
this is a fairly delayed review, were back in nov. the hotel staff was all fantastic. the quirky didsache that the room had a record player and shot. I noticed it was just a continental breakfast, but that didn't bother me. I look forward to my next stay View all feedback.
What micky10000 dislikes about Riva:
Not great! Scallops were not as advised suppost to be on cauliflower puree came swimming in tomato sauce chefs didn't inform poor waiter . Lucky we didn't have allergy isn't it! Pizza was horrible. Cheesecake like the frozen ones in supermarket ...menu given on piece of paper and no description. Great waiter , what looks like the manageress just sitting down constantly applying lip gloss , cold coffee , long wait try... View all feedback.
We waited 5 minutes to be seated, we weren’t so found our own table. No cutlery on the table. We waited 15 minutes before we received a menu. The older male and female who worked there had an unsettling demeanour, although we waited so long to be served, they were unapologetic and we felt like we were annoying them. The male manager was wearing running shoes with jeans, not what we expected with the prices being what they are. The service was non existent, no one spoke to us or made us feel welcome. The manager(s) seemed much more interested in the customers who had hotel reservations. The portion were less than satisfying, the quality of meat was poor. The toilets were extremely clean.
Sat outside in the sunshine service was excellent inside was clean and staff welcoming
Had a lovely overnight in hotel with excellent breakfast in morning. First class service.
After four phones calls; each one being left on hold for some time, we eventually booked a table for us and our friends. We arrived on time (7pm) but were asked to wait as our table wasn’t ready. We gave a drinks order but were left waiting for a considerable time (20mins) for our drinks to arrive. Having ordered red wine, we were given a mixture of glasses that seemed a bit odd. We then ordered food, and waited patiently. A short time later, the waiter returned to tell us that three of the dishes ordered were no longer available. We again waited. Then the waiter returns to say that one of the dishes ordered for four people, only had three portions left. A new dish was ordered. Once we had finished our starters, the waiting staff continued to pass by us, leaving the back door open all the time. There was a gale blowing through the door. At one point we noticed the waiter eating pizza beyond the doorway. Clearly, there was no time for him to actually enjoy a break, as he was standing, then having to rush to get orders from the kitchen. Our starter plates remained at our table. When the lasagne, ordered for three people arrived, it was clear that one of the portions was easily half the size of the other portions. When raised with the waiter, he said that the chef had told him there was only enough for two portions left. It was difficult to understand if this meant that he’d cut up two portions to make them three. At £14.95 just for lasagne and two tiny bits of garlic bread, this was not acceptable. He agreed to remove the cost for one from the bill. We also ordered two portions of chips. Three arrived, in tiny cups £3.95 for a portion? You’re having a laugh! We finished our mains and waited to offered dessert or coffee. That offer never arrived. We asked for the bill and were, by this stage, unsurprised that extra dishes had been added to our bill, the half portion lasagne was still included, and our £80 deposit had not been deducted. We queried the bill. We then waited for 20 minutes for the bill to be returned, still wrong! The staff were so frustrated, and not reassuring us at all. No offer of compensation was made, and we left having had a terrible experience. We will definitely not be back.
