   It's Restaurant Week and my friend and I went for Dinner before going to the show at Belk Theater. We told our server we were there for the Restaurant Week menu. She told us that she wouldn't recommend it because the cook that was there didn't know how to cook the food on that menu. One of the items was a ribeye and she said he couldn't cook it good. We asked for menus anyway. We then asked about the smoked chili rice puree on the ribeye and mahi mahi. She couldn't describe it. We decided to order off of the regular menu. We ordered an appetizer and the server asked if we wanted it with our meal. Ummm...no. It's an appetizer. We'd like it before the meal. We ordered the sausage roll with honey mustard. It was delicious! Only problem was, not long after we got our appetizer, our meal came out. My friend ordered the Sirloin Steak Tips with mashed potatoes topped with mushroom gravy. She substituted garlic green beans for the mashed potatoes. I ordered the Irish Chicken Curry. My friend really liked her meal. I highly recommend the Irish Chicken Curry. It was so good! We both ordered drinks. I had the Sailor Punch and my friend had the Pub Princess (substituted cranberry juice for the orange juice). Both were very good. The server's attitude did improve. There was a group of young men at the bar right beside at our table that was pretty loud and it was just loud in general. But that will happen when the bar abs dining are so close together. All in all, we enjoyed our dining experience.

   Selected this restaurant as part of Queen's Feast, Charlotte's restaurant week. They were not prepared for diners, but we're happy to serve drinks. Our party of 4 got food delivered to our table at disjointed times, entree before apps, etc. The restaurant week ribeye special was awful, had to send it back. The bad food was comped but the overall experience left a bad taste in my mouth.

   My children and I had a quick bite before the theater. It was a bit louder than I would’ve liked but that is the nature of dining in a pub. The food was quickly served, and quite tasty. Not sure I would go back again because of the loud music but the food and value were very good.

   Advertised for restaurant week, which was 100% the reason we went. No restaurant week specials/pricing. No compensation. Waitress said, "manager said she would come and speak to us "if we wanted". THAT should have simply happened in a professional business. No Irish music playing and none played after we requested it. IT'S AN IRISH PUB!!!!! No cocktail sauce for fish/chips. When asked, they brought horseradish so we could make our own cocktail sauce. We were charged a $3.00 up charge for the horseradish! WHAT???!!! VERY DISAPOINTED and have posted this dissatisfaction to thousands on FaceBook. First and CERTAINLY LAST visit.

   The food was very good. It was game night so a bit noisy. I would have liked to sat downstairs where the live music was but didn't know it was there until after we had dinner. Hostess did not offer up or down nor mention the music. Was a bit disappointed with the imported beer selections, it was ok but I expect an Irish pub to have more of a selection. Cheers

   Brought some colleagues here for lunch. First time going there. Lots of good food options. We were greeted by someone, who also brought us waters, before our server was able to come by. Though he also greeted us as he was passing by our table, and let us know he'd be right with us. I know customer service is hard these days with everyone being understaffed, but the team at this Ri Ra did a great job.

   First of all this would have been a 5 star review if it wasn't for one of our meals being omitted. We were running a little late for our reservation and when I called there was no answer. Fortunately they called me and asked if I still wanted the reservation and they kept it for us. Thumbs Up! Food was delicious but the waiter forgot to enter my husband's order so we enjoyed an appetizer and one entree. We shared the poutine which while different, was delicious. Then unfortunately we had to share my fish and chips. It tasted just like it came from the chip shop in England, yummy. The waiter checked on my husband's order 3 times and finally just removed it from our tab. The music was too loud for our taste but we are older folks. I would still highly recommend RiRa.

   We always love the RiRa fish fry, they use haddock instead of cod, and it makes a difference. Batter is always light and crunchy. Poutine is outstanding! Kids burgers were burnt. One of the servers took away our half-eaten poutine (they took it off our bill). We were a party of seven and it was very confusing who our server was. And no one told me they were adding 20% gratuity to the check. We'll be back, but the serving staff needs to tighten things up a bit.

    The old Ri Ra of the past is gone. We were disappointed on a recent visit to Charlotte to encounter large televisions at every glance. These destroyed the ambianc we loved in the past. Sounds of music and conversations are so much more fun and relaxing than the distraction of multiple televisions. Sorry someone felt they are necessary.

    We enjoyed RiRa a lot. The vibe and décor is unmatched and we really liked the food. I will say, however, that our waiter was not particularly attentive and we had several things come out incorrect. The waiter started his intro by letting us know that they had $5 mimosas on the menu for the night, which several of our party order, only to come back and tell us (after about 20 minutes) that they had run out of champagne. Several of our orders came out without the correct sides and one was wrong altogether. The restaurant wasn't particularly busy and there seemed to be plenty of staff but we very rarely saw our waiter and had to flag him down repeatedly to get drink refills and the check. Overall, a great experience, but the service could have been better.

    Ri Ra is a charming pub in a great location. It is pretty obvious that Ri Ra is more of a bar than a restaurant. Despite advertising the offering of a “brunch”, the “pub grub” heavy menu really doesn’t cater to the brunch crowd. If you are going to have 3 brunch items on the menu, the pub should make sure that having all of the components ready to go.

    The service was extremely slow. Did not even get recognized for at least 15 minutes. No plates or silverware. Food came out cold and cheese curds were frozen. Sent back and still came back cold. Server was scatterbrained and forgot check several times. Waited 10 min to get credit cards back. Would not recommend at all.

    I hadn’t been to RiRa since before covid, and I was pleasantly surprised as I know a lot of restaurants are having problems bouncing back as they battle supply chain and staffing issues. Not here! Our food was excellent- the fish and chips were fantastic! The menu is more limited than I remember but all the pub favorites are there. We went to pre-game for our MLS opener and the pub was lively and packed- but our service was truly efficient and fantastic. Kudos to RiRa- I hope to be back soon.

    Despite a reservation in advance, we were sat up top in new section under a vent blowing cold air. We had to ask to be moved. The table we were moved to was smaller and not as accommodating to a party of 6, but we made it work. Food was the biggest disappointment. Chili my FIL received was cold and had to be sent back to be warmed. Many menu items have changed and the current menu is not of traditional Irish. Everything was basically mediocre American bar food. Service was good, but not spectacular. Atmosphere up top, since floor used to be a separate bar/club, became very loud around 8:30 PM and had a very college-feel vibe. Despite having 7 PM reservations, which included a toddler as stated in comment section of reservation, hostess decided it was most appropriate to sit us up top instead of down below on first floor in a more accommodating space given the company. This was not appropriate, as the server verbalized how the atmosphere has changed to that of college/bar feel since the pandemic (hence menu item change) and is no longer a contender for restaurant known for great food, live music, and an intimate ambiance (so all this was well known and staff knew the top section would become club-like). To have spent almost $300 on a birthday dinner for my husband, we wish we had chosen somewhere else to celebrate or even grilled out at home. While uptown, unless changes are made, the experience is not worth the price. Although, we tipped well despite all of this. I’d really suggest owners look into what has made this establishment popular to begin with and a favorite over time, and really think about how catering to the very young adult crowd is going to affect business long-term. This should be advertised currently as a bar, not an Irish pub/restaurant.

    We were looking for the ‘Irish Pub” feel and we got the “look at the front of an Irish Pub” feel. We got put behind the door in a corner of the lobby rather than in the dining room. The food was good. The service was good, but it felt like we were out of the way and a little forgotten. We’d go back, but won’t sit in that table again.

    Ate before a show at Belk. Dustin, our server was great. Ordered wings well done, and got them well done. An accomplishment not usually successful. Had cottage pie which was okay, I prefer more vegetables. But the fish and chips was exceptional. Great offering of Single Malt scotch.

    Overall, the food wasn’t bad. We split the pub nachos and had salads for our entrees. The cheese on the nachos had re-solidified when we got them, requiring us to struggle to eat them having to break them apart. Service was okay but we were at a tiny table and were a bit put off that our appetizer and entrees came at the same time, especially with a table that barely had room for all of the plates.

    The problem was that we went planning to order the brisket. The waitress forewarned us that it was unusually tough, but we also found it to be dry. I don't think there should be an excuse for that.
