    Best restaurant atmosphere in leeds by far but the food could definitely be improved. Some of the food seemed to lack seasoning and tasted very plain

    I booked Riva Blu for an early valentines meal with my girlfriend. However we just ate off the main menu and we weren’t disappointed. Every dish, starter, main and, dessert was incredible and we ate the lot! The service from the staff were brilliant offering advice, opinions and informing us about the dishes we chose as well as letting us know to sign up via a QR code to get 50% off a bottle of wine. Overall the experience was amazing from ambience, food and the staff. We’ll definitely be coming back! We’ve told everyone from family to friends so hopefully our next booking will be a big one! Thanks again for such a wonderful evening.
