We stopped by this restaurant totally unplanned and we did not regret it. The food was incredible and memorable enough that we... wouldn't mind going back. I still recalled their scallops as one of the best I've had. Wait staff also seem to be quiteknowledgeable. It's also very close to the 16th Street so it's easy to get to. Any drawback? Perhaps the price point. I thoughtit was worth it, but I can see that it could be considered pricey. Still worth the 5 stars. This is a must visit place if youspend a decent amount of time in Denver.

I liked it and might visit again. Really good ambience and decent vegetarian options. The peach with burrata cheese was very... unique and interesting. Don't both trying turmeric mule. The vegetarian four squares is also nice and overall it's reasonablypriced for a fine dining. Read more
We had the chefs tasting menu and it was lovely. The dessert was, of course, my favorite and my husband's was the tortellini... with white truffles. All of the staff was friendly and helpful. It was a lovely place for a date night set right in the middleof historic Larimer Square. Highly recommend a visit when you're in Denver. Read more
Our meal at Rioja was absolutely delicious. It was a flavorful experience in every bite. We had the chicken salad sandwich, the... lamb burger, and the beignets! The service was great and our waiter was very polite. Totally going back! Read more

We had a reservation for our anniversary on a snowy Thursday evening. Despite the reviews, our interaction with staff was the... greatest downfall. First, we waited 10 minutes to get seated as we saw staff consistently pass us. We were finally greeted bythe grumpy bartender who seemed like he was forced to seat us since the hostess never appeared. The first impression wasextremely unprofessional and set the tone for the night. We waited another 15 minutes for a waiter who never introduced his nameand could care less about his service (Makes sense ha). The only impressive staff were those who delivered our food and bussedour table, they were kind and served us with smiles. The food was was a hit or miss depending on the dish. We ordered anappetizer beet salad (Small portion but good 4/5), artichoke ravioli (amazing, highly recommend 5/5), tagliatelle (4/5), octopus(overcooked, burnt and bitter. Do not recommend), and beignet with vanilla ice cream on the side (2/5). I will say that all ofthe dishes were beautifully plated and arrived in a timely manner. The wine and cocktail selection were also good. Overall,based on the staff experience, I will not be recommending this restaurant. My minimum expectation for Denver is a friendlystaff. Read more
