Rioja was a gem. I came here for my father’s birthday and he was blown away by the traditional little touches and outstanding service- as were my wife and I. We started with the rioja picnic, which was a lovely charcuterie and excellent starter for four people. The arctic char was perfectly done, was a great portion and left just enough room for dessert. The dessert was an excellent way to close the meal with the flourless chocolate and brûlée banana. Above and beyond what I was expecting. Highly recommend. We will definitely be back.
They’re happy hours misleading and they charged us full price for a house wine. The bread was great. My rare steak came out medium instead of rare I asked for. Super disappointed. We spent $400 and I left feeling bad about it. Come here if you have extra money you don’t care about.
Oh wow! What a place. Very nice and professional service. Waiters are great at advising on choosing dishes. And the food is pure poetry. There are no words that will properly describe these flavors. simply delicious. I especially recommend the squid ink pappardelle, halibut and artochokes tortelloni. You won't regret it.
