   It was good but it was my birthday also and I thought I was going to get a happy birthday desert even if I have to pay for it . I don’t know if I had to request that myself.

   First time I had been to the Manchester Riva Blu Restaurant. I was well impressed with the cleanliness and was very tidy for a Saturday night when it was so so busy busy we had to wait a little from the time I had booked for the table, but that wasn't a problem. The meal was lovely and yes would book again.

   Roast potatoes were awful, obviously heated / fried up several times. Card machine not working at time of payment, waitress ran after me, bit embarrassing as all the other diners were looking as if I'd done a runner, when it was the machine playing up. Had to pay at the payment station.

   Absolutely deadly spot for a bit of food, the staff there were lovely and extremely respectful, I got 25% off my food as it’s the month of January so that was extremely nice. Definitely a fantastic pick if you are staying in Manchester. 10/10
