    A wonderful evening all around. The food was amazing. The service was spectacular, and even though my date and I arrived at different locations, the owner was gracious and held the table for me because I was 30 minutes late.

    The food, especially the salads, was very good. The service was terrific. It was very nosy bar the bar sheets we were seated. The 22%gratuity that was added to the bill was a surprise. My biggest disappointment was the priciness of the food. It was markedly overpriced for what it was. It world have been better to serve less and charge less.

    My son and his girlfriend treated me for My birthday. He wanted to try just about everything. We ordered a Rioja salad which I loved and we ordered 1/2 orders of the pastas just to try them all. The 2 favorites were the pappardelle with pork and the artichoke tortelloni. We ordered the bacon wrapped cod, the braised short rib (my favorite) and the octopus which was soft and cooked to perfection as entrees. Dessert was a butterscotch buddino and the chocolate citrus mousse. All was delicious and the atmosphere was perfect. Super friendly staff as well and very attentive. Would highly recommend giving Rioja a try.

    Was easy to get in and the burger was recommended to us from an employee we met a few days prior. Burger was amazing. We are steak fans, but had just can me from bronco game and did not have enough of an appetite for a big dinner, so will be back to try the steaks on our next visit to Denver. Food and service were great.

    The staff went out of their way to make us feel extremely welcome and invited us back to their reopening after remodel. If you have a chance to grab their brunch before they close for remodel, do so! Manny was a tremendous server. Seek him out if you can.
