   It like being in a tapas bar in Spain (minus little bits of paper on the floor, old men eating at the bar and shouting at the football on the TV). Aubergine & salmon tartare was a revelation, venison meatballs with almonds were delicious and we kept going back for more crocetas. Lovely choice of wines and very friendly service.

   I enjoyed the food, and even though I selected carefully I found it too rich. There was no option for a simple salad to cleanse the palate, and no e.g. lemons to cut through some very rich dishes. Further to this churros with white chocolate mousse was clawing. Just my oreference though.

    It has been a long time since I have eaten in Rioja. The menu was different and I struggled to select what I wanted. I felt a lot of the dishes were fried and missing a fresh element. I really wanted a tasty veggie dish but struggled to find one on the menu. The dipping sauces were bland and the presentation was style over substance. The service was good but the food missed the mark, I was very disappointed.

    If you like tapas you will love this. Every dish was excellent, standouts the lamb skewers, the boneless chicken wings and the patatas bravas. Lovely sunny afternoon, Spanish music warming the background and gorgeous jugs of sangria floating past.

    Food was okay. The portions were extremely small, they suggest 2-3 tappas per person but they were 8-12 pounds each and were super tiny. We only ordered one round for the three of us and they were good just small bites, bill was up to over 35 pounds already. If you want to try small bites of different things if you have hundreds of pounds on hand without the intention of getting full, then this would be for you.

    I have eaten in Rioja before the pandemic and the atmosphere and food was outstanding, that is why I suggested it to my son when we were going to a show. On arrival I noticed it had been totally renovated which was lovely but took away the whole Spanish atmosphere. My mocktail was very sour and looked like it had been an after thought. The food was delicious but for the prices the portions were very very small. £12 for two sticks (twigs) of lamb and not even pieces of lamb but a patty. Very disappointed and I will not be visiting again. I used to rave about Rioja but not any more 😢

    Wonderful food and wonderful service. Couldn't do enough for us, one dish was put through wrong and we were given replacement free of charge. Manager heard me say I wished I could have a Kalimoxho as a single drink and had one prepared for me off menu. Menu had ample gluten free options and offered really interesting choices. 10/10.

    Excellent food. Some relatively "simple" dishes that are taken to another level. The staff were very friendly and it was a good atmosphere. It's not cheap but you get very good quality!
