    Amazing evening, first time back in Hale Village for a while. Fabulous food and fabulous vibe. Delighted to see Jonathan carrying on the phenomenal work Lyndsay built Riva on. Couldn’t recommend highly enough for a few easy drinks, great food and atmosphere.

    We loved the onions soup that the waitress served us shared in two portion (very kind of them). The service was very carefully and kind and the ambient elegant and quiet. I didn’t like the fish stew but my husband loved his meat pie!

    Good meal, service and atmosphere — we come quite often and would come more if the menu changed more often given it is quite limited. But will come again!
