Rioja

Fancy restaurant, a place where you should go to try different things. We’ve been here twice and both times I’ve been satisfied with the food and service.

Phenomenal meal with excellent service! Ordered the 2 James Beard winning dishes and they did not disappoint! Fresh food made with fresh ingredients at a very reasonable price.

Superb attention to detail

I'm only giving one star because the managers need to tell the hostesses who served us that they never treated me with the respect I deserve. My family and I came on vacation and made a reservation for Saturday the 25th, and we loved the food. We returned today from Aspen, Friday, July 31st, and when I called to make a reservation, they said there were no tables available. I had already tried to make a reservation from my computer, so I called. They told me the bar didn't need a reservation since there was nothing available. I arrived at the restaurant with my husband and son, and the girls at the entrance told me there were no tables. I told them I wanted to sit outside or at the bar and enjoy the excellent food... but they never tried to help me. They just wanted us to leave… I decided to wait, even though the service I received was terrible… one of them even went to my husband and told him we had to leave because they were going to close the patio due to the rain… my husband replied that he had already made a reservation for more than an hour and 15 minutes 🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️ I decided to wait for myself and my family, and just then some seats opened up at the bar, and I enjoyed the good food and the excellent service from the young man who was serving me… I didn't leave after the terrible service because the storm was so strong! We're returning to Miami tomorrow 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻

Everything was on point. Would come again!

Superb food and service!

We had a delightful dinner at this restaurant with my daughter. The food menu was exquisite, and each dish was prepared with great care. We did like that one of the cook come out and explain more about the plate he is serving us. They even offered the option to try half of the plate, which we enjoyed as we shared many plates. The outdoor seating was a pleasant addition.

The food was amazing and delicious. The service was exceptional.

Exquisite atmosphere, friendly staff, and delicious food. Their artichoke tortellini and goat cheese gnudi are to die for. Highly recommend.

Rioja is such a classic in Denver, for very good reason. The food is absolutely phenomenal. Prepared with such class and care. This was my second visit, and I hadn't been in some time. We went with our server's recommendations from beginning to end and were blown away. Seared scallops? Melt in your mouth, surprising flavors, bold taste. The artichoke tortellini? You didn't know you could love a vegetarian dish this much. That is, until you try the mushroom pappardelle. You will not be disappointed in your visit - it's great for a special occasion.

We love this place! Such great service. The new halibut dish was amazing. The artichoke raviolis continue to be wonderful. We try to come every time we come to Denver.

The pork belly is a MUST! We sat outside and enjoyed our whole meal. This was our last meal before heading to the airport and it ended on a high note.
