Went there with the wife last week. Started with cocktails at the bar all made with fresh fruit and intresting combanations. I had the lamb which was cooked just right and she "the wife" had fish and chips. It was massive, crispy and a great bit of fish.
Service was friendly but casual. Looks posh through the window but it was a great vibe inside. Judge for your self

I saw the last review, and thought it was a bit harsh. I have been to Rivington Grill on many occasions now and always enjoyed it. The lunch I had was soft herrings roes, followed by seabass with potatoes and green beans which was delicious.


The staff are friendly and they always say goodbye with a smile. The Rivington Grill has not been around very long, but I hope it stays as Greenwich has been crying out for something good.

I visited the Greenwich branch of Rivington Grill on a Sunday in March at 7pm. This is the 8th time I have visited and I was looking forward to becoming a regular. However, what I have noticed is that the staff seem to make up their roles as they go along and are, frankly, disingenuous towards the customers. This is presumably as a result of being so successful, so quickly.



For instance, on Sunday, we were told that Greenwich no longer does a set menu. I thought the Sunday roast was a signature dish at Rivington Grill but it is now seemingly denied to the Greenwich clientele. Is this really true or just a cynical attempt to make us order from the a la carte menu on one of the busiest days of the year (Mother's Day)? On top of that, half the a la carte menu was unavailable, "we were so busy earlier" we were told with a smile, as though it was unexpected on such a day.



In addition, the ten percent discount for members of the adjacent cinema no longer applies, except on Mon-Thurs. Other examples of poor customer relations include an overpriced, low quality wine list, a 15% service charge added on when drinking at the bar (without informing the customer first and not applied at the Shoreditch branch) and being told a different story every time I ask the whereabouts of the newspapers that are supplied in Shoreditch. We are always shown the worst available table too, despite booking up to 10 days in advance.



The rich but less sophisticated Greenwich customer base are clearly considered easy pickings, in comparision to the competitive Shoreditch restaurant environment.
