   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!

   We were welcomed warmly. All Staff were very friendly and helpful but not intrusive. the decor was relaxing, reminded us of the seaside. The food was excellent and the dishes came with a reasonable amount of time between them. We found this slower pace much more satisfying than the previous 'hurried' nature of other Tapas Bars when all the dishes arrived virtually at the same time such that the table was overcrowded and the dishes often cold before we got to them. We will definitely be back.

    We had a very enjoyable evening, food was excellent as were the staff, who were knowledgeable, friendly, with a good sense of humour. One area, where you didn’t reach 5 stars on was the noise level near the end of the evening where the music really blasted out. Well done, see you soon :)

    I understand that Tapas means small plates, however 2 croquetas for £6+ seems expensive. Similarly 4 pieces of Albondigas @£10.50 the same . Feel that it was overpriced for what we. Understand that it was a Wednesday, but no atmosphere as it was empty. On our way to Rioja, we passed several restaurants that were very busy. Disappointed to say the least

    We had a very nice meal the only criticism is that we booked a table of 6 we ended up being a 5 the table we were given was not at all suitable for that many diners , 4 folk maybe but definitely not 6 or even 5 , no space for all the glasses , water bottles wine , and then all the plates of food it was pretty compact !

    First visit to Rioja and certainly won't be our last - delicious tapas both old favourites and some new ones. Invited our waiter to choose my 3 and wasn't disappointed at all. First class choice of wine too - obviously Rioja - we will be back.

    Food was excellent but service really slow and dishes came out 1 at a time and up to 20 minutes apart. Not a typical tapas experience at all. After 2 hours we eventually cancelled our last 2 dishes as we had somewhere to be.

    This place is incredible!! We absolutely loved each and every dish and would have ordered more, if we could have fitted it in! The decor style doesn’t really reflect the Spanish style of cuisine, so it’s an odd setting in some respects, not that the interior isn’t nice and clean. The food though is exceptional. The blend of ingredients and variety of choice on the menu is outstanding. If we didn’t live in England this would be a regular haunt, and we have already recommended to many friends! A memorable meal which is one of the best I’ve ever experienced. Thank you, Rioja!

    We had eaten here before and service was pretty quick. We were time limited this time so returned. Speed of service was more relaxed this time which in normal circumstances would be great. Highlighted to staff that we would need to forgo final 2 tapas ordered. They were great, removed these from the bill while still managing to deliver one of them to the table free of charge before we left. Quality of food and service both excellent. Will definitely go back for the more classic laid back tapas experience when less pressed for time. Great value for money.

    This is the first time we have been back since reopening. Service was amazing and staff really couldn’t do enough for you, they were all amazing. We were so disappointed with the food unfortunately, we have been many times before lockdown and the food was amazing, full of flavour and left us wanting more. Unfortunately last night just wasn’t the same, bring back the old menu.

    We chose 3 tapas each with 2 servings so we could try 6 different dishes, glad we went with the 6 as the portion sizes were all pretty small with the exception maybe of the crab and potato salad which was decent sized. I would say the food itself was good but not exceptional, most were tasty but other dishes were on the bland side. Ambience was good and surroundings are nice albeit the place is a little small, staff were excellent and very knowledgable, there were quite a lot of the wines unavailable due to supplier issues. To summarise whilst an enjoyable meal I would say it is pretty expensive for what it is and probably wouldn’t rush back.
