Rí Rá Irish Pub

Not bad.  This is pretty much your classic Irish pub/restaurant.  Decent food, decent beer.  Sometimes they have some good bands playing.  It does have a great ambiance; it's in an old bank and you can eat in the vault in the back, which is cool.

Ri Ra puts on a good face, but that's all it is. The service is attentive and the space is beautiful, but the food is bland, reheated muck.

Recommended for a drink or to see some music. Not a place to eat.

We visited RiRa's during Restaurant week and while Brunch was being served. We started with the nachos, which were good, but they are made differently every time we have been there.  A consistent product is important to know what to expect.

The other half ordered the Restaurant Week special & I had the Crab Benedict. His meal came with the potato cake appetizer, which I promptly snatched. Loved it! He enjoyed the cottage pie very much, while my Benedict was good, but the crab cakes were a little more fishy than I'd normally expect, but still quite good. We took the desert to go, which was a Baileys Chocolate Mousse and was most excellent.

One reason that we like RiRa's is that they have a great kid's menu. We have 3 kids ages 5 & under and they shared the pita pizza & grilled cheese sandwich. Our oldest complained that the pizza "had a top" - last time, it was not folded, so again consistency is important. I really like that they offer fresh grapes & strawberries as a side option with the kid's meals.

Oh and I can't forget, the Bloody Mary was so good that I ordered a second.

We always enjoy the food at RiRa's and it's a welcome change from the chain restaurants that the kids prefer.
