    The food was incredible, loved everything. The mezzanine was noisy but just because it was fully booked. Our server was a girl from Colorado and she was so friendly and attentive, big shout out. We played pool downstairs after dinner and had a great time, really cool vibe, definitely be back.

    Food was fabulous and we will definitely return. I think a lot of the staff were relatively new and the service wasn’t great. Their knowledge was lacking , on saying that they were very polite and did their best. I would recommend a visit.

    We had an excellent meal at Rioja, the food was outstanding and great value. Portions were very generous, in fact the chicken donuts were probably too big but delicious. The beef cheeks were amazing as were the chorizo. Our only complaint was it was very dark, we booked for 3pm and even then it was dark to the point I couldn’t see my husband or friends face sitting opposite me. Then to make it even worse they turned the lights down again later on and made it even darker. I get it creates an atmosphere however I really would to be able to see the people I am dining with.

    Great food The restaurant area is rather dark and needs better lighting, as we couldn't see the menu. Service was slow and staff struggled to open our bottle of red wine, so we gave them a helping hand. We extender our stay to the downstairs bar for pool and drinks, which was very good.

    Visited on Saturday after seeing multiple “influencers” on TikTok going to the launch. Food was good. Service was extremely poor, clear teething issues since opening. Ordered drinks and then food, food arrived before any of our drinks and had to ask for a tap water. No frozen cocktails available despite being on the menu. Had to ask for the bill 3 times. Music was so loud, could barely hear each other. We were sat up stairs and that also could have affected the service. Staff need more training, all seemed inexperienced. Wouldn’t rush back.

    Staff were very welcoming and friendly. Portion sizes were great. Music was wonderful too. Would definitely return. It’s not a fast food restaurant so I’m not sure why others are complaining about slow service. It’s a tapas bar.
