The food and service are fantastic here! I would go back for red wine and the fries alone but do share multiple dishes with friends. It’s all good. It was also refreshing to be able to carry on a conversation in a busy restaurant on a Saturday evening. We could actually hear each other talk!

We are NEVER disappointed at Rioja, and last night was no different. Dinner was on point - as always - and our server, Justin, who has waited on us several times is excellent. Highly, highly recommend Rioja.

We had a very pleasant experience from the moment we arrived until we left to go home. The restaurant was very quiet even with several tables filled with large groups. The food was excellent and was prepared to satisfy our expectations.
