We had to wait an extra 15-20 minutes for our reservation but our host made sure we were comfortable. He brought us some snacks and bubbles. The food was fresh and delicious and the service was expertly and warm.

My roommates and I went for the community appreciation night with the discounted menu. We booked the reservation months in advanced because it’s so popular. It lived up to the hype and everything was delicious. Our favorite dish was the vodka pasta!

We have always very much enjoyed dining at Ristobar, and last night was no exception. What a beautiful and welcoming place! The service could not have been more friendly and attentive, everybody enjoyed their drinks, and our salads and pastas were deliciously rich with nuanced flavors. We were also very appreciative of the many gluten free options available! This is very important for one of the folks in our party, and we're happy she could enjoy her meal without worry. Ristobar is a perfect choice for a pre-show meal before heading over to the Palace of Fine Arts. We very much look forward to our next visit. Thank you very much!
