   I thought this was completely overpriced. The service wasn’t very good, the food that accompanied the fondue was totally bizarre, and the dessert wasn’t very good at all. We were all pretty disappointed. May have been better to just do fondue.

   It was amazing. The only drawback was that it was a bit expensive and the fondu could have used a little more spice and flavor. Overall it was an awesome experience. My wife and I loved it and we will be back soon.

   It was cute but not sure it was worth the $516 we paid for the prefix dinner for valentines day. Think this was overpriced. The appetizer and dessert we did not like but the rest of food was good. Service was good .

   Amazing. Had a great Valentine evening dinner on the rooftop. Top notch service - right from the valet to the service up the elevator to the servers. The only feedback is the pace to get the tables rotated. Not rushed - we got a good 2 hrs, but nobody asked how we’d like the steak cooked. My date likes hers medium well and her steak was a bit underdone. Again, great food but next time I’d like a bit more attn to food. Highly recommend and will be back.

   The service and igloo were great! Food was good, but the amount was more like an appetizer for 2 instead of food for 8... the fondue came with a small basket of bread pieces, sliced mini potatoes, bacon bits, cherry tomatoes, and pickles; along with one bottle of inexpensive champagne. I understand you're paying for the experience, but I would recommend just doing one hour--have champagne and the experience and enjoy dinner else where!

   The fondue was very good. Loved the lights on the bubble. The heaters were nice. They have blankets too, but we brought our own. The mocktails (especially the watermelon) were amazing. The beignets and the chocolate bomb were really good! It was a nice family outing (2 adults and 2 kids point of view).

    I will say my overall experience in the igloo was fun. The ambiance was beautiful and service was very friendly and quick. We chose the 3 course meal option with our igloo and the food wasn’t the best. We were given a fondue for our appetizer and the aged cheese was good however our main entree “braised short rib “ over pasta noodles , spinach and broccolini wasn’t that tasty . The meat was very tender HOWEVER it didn’t taste seasoned at all very bland and for dessert they served chocolate mousse. For 150 a person I do believe that was a good priced considering what was included however I would have loved for my food to be much better at that price. I would come back I would just suggest ordering something different or just getting drinks.

    The food wasn’t good. It’s definitely overpriced. I also think if you’re only going to offer one choice for the entree they should make sure it’s not something that’s not a popular allergy. We waited for dinner only to have to send it back because my fiancé is allergic to mushrooms. Mushrooms was listed nowhere on the menu and nobody asked if there were any food allergies. We normally tell the waiter when we place our entree orders but you don’t order here they just bring it out randomly. The environment was pretty but we basically paid $400+ (there’s an automatic 20% gratuity) for cute pictures as the food was bland when we finally got our replacement meal.

    The concept of the igloos is great. The area was understaffed and the red lights for service went overlooked many times. The taste of the food was good, but the selection, presentation and service of it was lazy. The champagne was decent. Again, great concept, just needs some work toward better execution.

    The only issue we had was that we could not play our own music and the hotel music in the background was, well, hotel music. The advertisement mentioned that you could play your own music in each igloo. Other than that, we had a great time.

    We had a great time but the bill for the bubble was 150% higher than we were led it would be via the website and original reservation. And this wasn't explained to us. Our original reservation was for 1 hour. We arrived and she said we had it for two hours, and there was food and champagne waiting for us (which I assumed came with the $100). When we asked to split the bill she said "it's easier if you venmo each other." We left feeling a bit taken advantage of/lied to, which is unfortunate since this experience had all the potential to be magical (and aesthetically, it was). Just wish Rioja Bar was more up front and honest about pricing/packages.

    It was to hot for the bubble tables on the rooftop at 5pm. No air condition. The fingers foods was waiting for us when we arrived and finger foods was yummy.. The wine was very bitter.. I was shocked the price was $100 considering no meal included only finger foods...The price was not listed but over all it was just ok..

    By the time of this review, the bubbles will be about gone (Apr 10th is last one), so it's somewhat irrelevant. But if they bring them back.... Bottom line? My wife enjoyed it for her birthday. That's what counts. When management reads this, if you bring it back... $250 for an appetizer platter and a bottle of champagne is pretty weak. We brought our own GOOD bottle ($35 corkage fee, which had called ahead and was fine) but saw the champagne offered wasn't that bad "For $250, your bubble will savor a bottle of Cava (Segura Viudas Reserva Heredad) from Spain", so we chose not to bring another bottle and drink that. One problem. The "Reserva" is about a $20-$25 retail bottle. $65 on their wine list. Very acceptable. We were served the regular Segura Viudas. About $7/$8 a bottle. Very cheap champagne. Not acceptable. Initially I asked and was told "that's what we serve", but upon showing what was advertised, the manager was very nice and upgraded to a nicer bottle of GH Mumm. Was totally happy with his solution, and that was great...but how many others had no idea and said nothing? Loved our server...very sweet. Very attentive. 10/10 for her! We did order another charcuterie board from only three other options. If y'all do it next year? Give people more options for food. What you serve for $250 isn't more than a snack...and people want more. I'd have gladly paid for better options, instead went down to Harvest Hall...got sliders (awesome!) and was my own wait staff and brought them up to our group. My wife loved the whole night, and that's what truly counts. Just a better understanding of what you truly get would have been better. :)

    The igloos are a fantastic and very unique idea especially during the cold weather month. We experienced a very warm March day so it was warm inside but no fault of the restaurant. I would do it again for sure and my date loved it!

    This was an amazing experience. We reserved the individual seating in the bubble. It sit six adults very comfortably, and the setup was awesome. We had the ability to call our server over at any point, thanks to the lighting system in it, which made things incredibly easy. We were given some foods to snack on and a large bottle of champagne. It was an amazing evening. This is definitely worth it for those looking for something fun and different to do with family or friends.
