Whole experience was rushed. Server didn't take order correctly so we did not receive one of the dishes we ordered. Servers were constantly over asking if everything was ok. Overbearing and felt like they wanted you out of the door as quick as you came in. Food was OK. Very bland. Meatballs were cold. Would not return.

Found this recommendation on open table and it didn’t disappoint. It was by far the best tapas we have ever had and served by friendly, attentive staff and a very reasonable bill at the end. Thank you Rioja

We were very keen to come back to Rioja as we had been a couple of times when they were at their previous venue and were not disappointed.
The menu isn’t huge but the choice and quality is great. Good atmosphere as the restaurant looks over the bar area and the service was also very good. We will be back!

Food was good. Service was slow. Of the four menus we were given, two menus offered different prices. A bit confusing. Of course, the more expensive one was used to calculate our bill. The location was great. In the restaurant, it was very dark. We needed to use our phone torches to be able to read the menus. Better lighting is much needed.

Loved Rioja - cool vibe inside, great staff and the food was SO good. I will definitely be going back to try more. We particularly liked the chicken donuts and chorizo tacos - so yummy!
Watch out for the address in maps though as it takes you much further up Hope Street than it is and we had to walk back down. It is very close to central station.
