   Nice Irish pub with good food and great beer 🍻 Very attentive service and you will love the ambiance. Even though the bar was busy before the Hornets game our service was great. Good apps and very filling pub fare. Really enjoyed our visit.

   Made reservations for my son's 19th birthday. He had loved a pub we had been to in England and was hoping for similar vibe knowing there would be variance due to authentic verses commercialized. In reservations there was a request asking if it was for any special occasion so we indicated and thought if they wanted to know they must do something special. Placement? Slice of cake? Irish birthday song?But not. Why then ask? Server seemed a little green. Huge group at bar that yelled when they spoke. I understand it is a bar. But our placement could have avoided this....since we did indicate it was a special occasion. All in all wouldn't go back for any special occasion. It is based on a bar and I would only recommend it as so.

   First time eating at Ri Ra. Nice ambiance. Relatively quiet compared to a lot of restaurants as we asked for a quiet table. Great service. Delicious food. Really enjoyed our visit.

   Good overall, friendly service from Michael from missing items in the food (Pot pie soup and chocolate mousse) and drink section (no ingredient to make Mocktails).

   Such a disappointing experience! The food was definitely subpar. Our drinks were never refilled until we were done with our food at which point we were ready to leave anyway. Such a shame that there wasn’t even Irish music playing… Missed opportunity there for ambience went to use the salt on our table and it was so hard that it didn’t even move in the shaker

   This was a great spot near Belk Theater. Very convenient spot to lots of places uptown. Food was delicious and timing perfect. Our waiter was very on point. Atmosphere was my favorite.

    As always, loved the atmosphere. The food was great and the drinks were really good. Will definitely be back and will continue to recommend it to others. Our server must have been having an off night. She brought us water and took our drink orders. She returned with the drinks and we ordered an appetizer and dinner. The dinners came out but not the appetizer. She never asked about more drinks and never refilled our waters. She arrived with the check and there were all empty glasses which she apparently didn’t notice. lol. I tipped her well in spite of all that. Again, I’ll assume it was an off night.
