Vista Cielo — Restaurant in Ribble Valley

Found this place just by chance and so glad we did.

Absolutely gorgeous building it's like a tardis it looks so small from the outside but when you get in there are three floors all very nicely decorated very clean and well planned out.

The set up is spot on.. there are tables that can be set up for any size of party and also booths for the more intimate event.

We were put in a booth on the ground floor and were looked after very well by the manager and other members of the friendly staff..

Starter: we had garlic bread with cheese which was nice and crispy, good taste to it.

Mains: I had this mixed shish kebab which was presented beautifully on a wood and slate board, the chicken and lamb cubes were seasoned well and cooked to perfection both melting in the mouth. I got a side of chips which were true Turkish style slightly greasy but still very nice.

The other half had monk fish and prawns in a thermidor sauce with rice. He said it was spot on the sauce was lovely and velvety, rice was nice and fluffy and as with the meat the fish just melted, cooked and seasoned beautifully. I'm not a fish lover but I had a mouthful and even I would order this meal on another visit it was that good.

We got talking to the manger who told us that with the exception of the lasagna which has to be pre-prepared all other dishes are cooked from scratch on order, because of this there is a bit of a wait but it's well worth it. Nothing is from frozen or pre-packaged, and a vast majority of the ingredients are locally sourced.

This place is an absolute gem, highly recommended if you're looking for amazing food in a lovely atmosphere with...

We came in for my husbands birthday this evening after booking a table for 6 people. There were two couples in this huge restaurant and we had to wait for our two tables to be pulled together (even though we had booked). The menu was different to the online menu. The menus we were given had pages missing, were sticky and overall badly presented. We waited 20 minutes for drinks (IN A DEAD RESTAURANT). After looking at the overpriced menu and waiting another 15 minutes, we decided we had lost faith and were going to call it a night. When we left, the rude waitress had locked the front door which my husband then walked into and she laughed. We called her out on this and asked why she would feel that is appropriate especially after such a poor experience. When we asked to talk to the manager, we were told there was no manager, or acting, on site. The bar man and chef were incredibly understanding and apologetic and were keen to hear our feedback. The waitress gave us attitude and was incredibly argumentative and tried to tell us that our experience wasn’t a bad one…. Which worries me deeply. Ps. There was no toilet roll in the womens… IN A DEAD RESTAURANT Pps. there were many many pubes on the urinals. I know this because the toilets weren’t signposted so I accidentally walked...

Dined with my child who ordered spag Bol from the kids menu. Disappointed that her pasta came laced in black pepper which made her mouth burn to the point she cried. Advised the waiter immediately who didn’t apologise once or show any care, they just took the plate and came back with plain dish of spaghetti. I even had to ask for a glass of water. At the end of the of the meal an older lady (waitress) came to clear up and asked if food was ok, I explained about what had happened and her response was so unexpectedly rude!!! She tried to say WE should have advised her when ordering. I explained that you don’t expect kids meals to come laced in so much black pepper and spice and that’s why is a kids meal!!! Wow she never said sorry once. Very aggressive approach and she started raising her voice at me, the paying customer! Also if you can’t take feedback, don’t ask me if we had a good meal. So, for anyone ordering a kids spag Bol at this establishment, remember you will have to tell them no black pepper unless you want tears and an aggressive staff member making our like...
