An amazing restaurant! Atmosphere high end but still feels warm and welcoming. The food was well thought out with perfectly paired herbs and spices. Not too expensive for a higher end restaurant which was also a great plus! Manager very nice also!

What an incredible dinner! We did the tasting menu and everything we had was really delicious. We did the wine pairing with each item and highly recommend. Came to about $250 without the tip for 2 of us, but we left happy & full. Would definitely recommend!

Rioja is absolutely divine!! Went in with my wife and kids for a family meal and fell in love. The handmade pastas were amazing. We didn’t dig to deep into the menu as we normally do because we got stuck repeating our first order. Ricotta Gnocchi, Black Truffle Gnocchi & Egg Yolk Ravioli. The Gnocchi was like eating fluffy little cheese pillows. It was so delicious we ordered it all a second time. Then finished up with some Beignets for desert. We were absolutely in a trance and we only took one picture of food. The restaurant itself is beautiful. The atmosphere is amazing and the wait staff was awesome. Highly recommend trying this restaurant if you’re in the Denver area.

November 2023 update: Lovely & wonderful. Friendly professional and non invasive service. Enjoyable. Exceptional dining experience! Creative dishes and presentations. Lamb shoulder paired with goldenberries, and tomato kimchi on frittata - both were exceptional. Service is on pars/exceeds NYC. Engaging and knowledge staff. Look forward to dining here again.

Really a fantastic place. Great selection of wine at the bar and great staff. Personable and welcoming. Messed up on the wine I ordered and bar tender (ate at the bar) was kind enough to explain the wine I got then gave me a better wine aka, the wine I was looking for originally. Thank you.

Rioja was a gem. I came here for my father’s birthday and he was blown away by the traditional little touches and outstanding service- as were my wife and I. We started with the rioja picnic, which was a lovely charcuterie and excellent starter for four people. The arctic char was perfectly done, was a great portion and left just enough room for dessert. The dessert was an excellent way to close the meal with the flourless chocolate and brûlée banana. Above and beyond what I was expecting. Highly recommend. We will definitely be back.

Oh wow! What a place. Very nice and professional service. Waiters are great at advising on choosing dishes. And the food is pure poetry. There are no words that will properly describe these flavors. simply delicious. I especially recommend the squid ink pappardelle, halibut and artochokes tortelloni. You won't regret it.
