A group of seven of us wound up here last night on a whim.  We were pleasantly surprised that they had a table set for seven within moments of us walking in the door.  However, that should have  clued us in that people weren't beating down the door to get a table. Â
The waitress took our drink order, took our meal order, gave us our checks -- the bare minimum it takes to wait a table.
One guest in our party had to remind the waitress to bring him his drink and after we were served she never came back to check on us and we flagged down a bus boy to find her so another guest could send her meal back. Â That meal was over seasoned and the meat was overcooked. Â Â She requested a new entree and everyone else was almost finished with their meal by the time she was served. Â
I had the barramundi (fish) which was ok. Â It was a lot more salty that I would have preferred and all the entrees just seems blah. Â Everyone just ate with no comment -- which is rare when 4 of the 7 at the table are really into food and cooking.
One guest had the burger, which was the least expensive entree ordered and looked the best!
When we got our checks our waitress did give a free appetizer coupon to come back and use. Â I was pleased to note that there was a list of other restaurants that it can be used at.
The Rialto reminds me of the mullet hairstyle: Â business in the front, party in the back. Â The front of the house is attractive and efficient, with a pleasant ambiance and competent and friendly service...but what's coming out of the kitchen makes one think that little imagination nor attention to detail is valued.
We had a day-off lunch at the Rialto last Thursday, stopping in after the lunch crowd rush, maybe at about 1PM, just craving sit-down service and uncomplicated but satisfactory food and a beer before shopping. Â We were greeted warmly and promptly by the hostess, who took us to a corner booth for two, then were immediately greeted by our friendly server, who let us know of their specials that day, and offered to start us out with a beverage; we chose a bloody mary and a Guinness (yay, no work that day, so we could imbibe.)
Our drinks came promptly and properly prepared and presented, and we'd decided what we were going to order by that point, so gave our waiter our order, consisting of their take of a Cuban sandwich with fries and a side house salad, and a roast chicken entree with whipped potatoes and a "relish" of sorts with grape tomatoes, fennel greens and onion. Â Both entrees were priced at $9 and change, perfectly reasonable.
We waited for about 15 minutes to receive our lunches after ordering, also perfectly reasonable. Â The Cuban sandwich was smallish, but did have a nice flavor and consistency, the best part of it being the really good kosher dill slices in it, and the accompanying fries were OK. Â The side house salad wasn't fresh, however, with mostly past-its-prime bagged butter lettuce, smallish goat cheese nuggets with an off taste and canned mandarin sections with pine nuts or sunflower seeds (I don't recall, but the menu listed almonds, which weren't in the salad.) Â My partner's roast chicken was a thigh and drummette attachment, which appeared and tasted like it had been featured a couple of days ago, and just warmed over; the whipped potatoes were bland but salty and watered down, and the limp and greasy greens and tomatoes on the plate were sampled but not eaten. Â Our food wasn't horrible, but nothing special, and not fresh.
We did decide on sharing a dessert after lunch (I have an insatiable sweet tooth) and ordered a creme brulee, which came promptly, but when sampled, was oddly dry and pasty with a refrigerator-off taste of onions...not good, and probably had been sitting in their refrigerator uncovered for several days, although the caramelized sugar was properly torched and crispy.
In conclusion, while the restaurant's dining room looks inviting, is clean, and service was good and bar drinks fine...the food is poorly prepared and unsatisfying. Â The number of similar reviews stating this fact here should make management/owners take notice and make necessary changes via BOH training and/or staff replacement.
If you're seeking a place for bottomless mimosa's or bloody mary's... You found a gold mine!
Can you say Sunday Funday? My friends and I truly enjoy heading to the Rialto for a little hair of the dog. For $10 you are guaranteed a little kick in the pants as the bartenders pour a heavy glass of champagne and you get to choose the juice of choice. I was happy to see that it wasn't a bottomless mimosa that they pre-mix in a huge plastic bin with 90% orange juice, which turns your stomach into a sweltering mix of sugar.
The food is ok... I am an "egg white omelet" type of person and each time I ask politely for my egg white only and (yes, bring out the tiara and label me high maintenance) ask for little/no butter or oil.. Each and every time my breakfast comes out in a pool of butter and oil. That being said, brunch comes with a side of pastries and fruit to choose from.
A friend took us here for lunch and highly recommended the place. I have to agree, if I lived in CO I'd be a regular. They have bottomless mimosas for only $10, and the champagne alone is not bad. Usually when places do this the champagne is awful which is why they mix it with orange juice. There is also a exotic juice station which include orange, passion fruit, peach, huckleberry, and mango juices to name a few.
The bloody mary station is also quite impressive with garnishes, spices, and a many hot sauces labels that are usually found in hot sauce specialty stores. Only downfall with this option is that its not bottomless, but with the high altitude here it's sure to give you a quick buzz.
For the food I had a mixture of eggs, potatoes, cream cheese, and chicken all stuffed into circular stack, perfectly layered. It was like a perfect breakfast bean dip of sorts. Anyhow they don't seem to have it on their online menu.

I've had better food at a nursing home. Â I'm serious. Â It's really sad that you can F*ck up a $13 burger. Â Twice. Â For $13 I should've experienced an orgasmic explosion of juicy buffalo meat in my taste hole. Â My eyes should've rolled back in my head and people at nearby tables should've felt uncomfortable because I was moaning and groaning with joy. Â But no. Â Instead I took a bite of what may-as-well-have-been a microwave burger from a gas station. Â I sent it back. Â Last time I sent food back was 2002. Â I was polite and just said that "there must've been a confusion...I'm sorry...can I get this medium rare?" Â "no problem" - she said. Â wrong - she was. Â The most awkward part was when the new burger came out 10 minutes later and she stood over me as I cut into in only to find the same pre-cooked microwaved burger hiding inside an over-sized soggy bun. Â I gave up at that moment and resigned myself to eating this crappy meal instead of making her life hell. Â
"I'll write a Yelp review" Â I told myself... "the truth must be known" I said...
BUT SERIOUSLY!!! Â How hard is it to cook a MR burger? Â How much passion do you need to form a patty out of fresh ground meat and... Oh wait. Â It IS really hard when all of your food is pre-cooked, pre-packaged, pre-seasoned, PRESERVED. Â Yeah... maybe the 85 year old clientele can't taste the difference between a microwaved meal and a fresh one, but that's no excuse to fleece them. Â You wanna serve microwave food? Â Fine. Â Charge microwave prices. Â
This is the type of restaurant that belongs on "kitchen nightmare's". Â I'll be amazed if they're open another year.
P.S. everyone else's meal sucked too. Â but they just stoically suffered in silence. Â
Fail.
I write this review in hopes that it will make it to the reading eyes of Ownership and Management more so than to the consuming public. I'm not gonna sugar-coat it. My experience was great-good-fair-bad-brutal. In that order.
 My girlfriend and I visited your establishment for dinner a few weeks back. She had been given a gift certificate by her sister for a "couples night out" type of thing. "2 drinks, 2 soups/salads, 2 entrees, each of up to $X amount, please tip accordingly."
 This sounded awesome! Never been there before, really looking forward to it. We had just had an anniversary, and really didn't make a big deal of it, so she thought this would be a nice change of pace.
 I made a reservation, it being a Saturday night, for 8pm. Perfect. We were a little early and the hostess, who was very sweet, very polite, said it wasn't going to be a problem "we have plenty of tables." And you did. She sat us over at an awesome little 1/4 booth which gave us a great view of the line, the bar, and facing out toward the street.  Again, this is great. A really cool ambiance, perfect table, a little bit of movement, but by no means a busy night, this was really working out well.
 Our server, Ryan, came over to greet us(friendly, inquisitive, standard protocol style introduction) and offered us a few minutes to view and to look over the menu, asking if he could get anything for us to drink as we did? All well and good. As per the GC's instruction I presented him with the voucher we had been given. It was at that moment, when I saw the reflexive look that flashed across his face, that things started to change.
 I knew the look. The look of a server having to deal with "a 2-top!?! On a Saturday night!? With a COUPON!?!" A look I have undoubtedly displayed on my own face early on in my forays into the bar and restaurant world. The look of contempt prior to investigation.
 He returned to our table. You were now out of the special. He'd be right back with our drinks. Ryan returned a few minutes later with our drinks and we were ready to place our order.
 Our orders were taken, inquiries made as to anything else he might provide, a promise of cornbread(which he did bring out just a couple minutes later), and a thank you. He was off to place our order. That was last we would see of our server, Ryan, for roughly 53 minutes.
 Our soup arrived about 5-10 minutes later. It was a sausage-potato S.O.D. served WARM, not hot, warm. A look to the right, to the left, nobody in sight after couple of minutes I thought "ya know what? F*ck it? It's really tasty!"  So we enjoyed it, for the most part, at room temp.
 That was the last we would see of ANY STAFF for the next 37 minutes. At that point we ran into another waiter and let him know, that having grown antsy, we were going to step outside for a cigarette. After casually smoking, and using the restroom to wash my hands, I returned to our table. Our food greeted us there about 7-10 minutes later.
 I tried to be optimistic that, I had ordered the NY Strip M/R, it was a block cut and that those DO take time to prepare. I would be wrong. It was not block cut. It was not M/R. And it was about as far from a NY Strip as you could get. Flat, pressed, over-cooked and with at least 3 ounces of fat fighting a winning war against a dull steak knife. My girlfriend was left to suffer the same consequences upon receiving her 6oz Petite Sirloin, although hers only over-cooked. The broccolini also kept in line with the NY., over-cooked, and the green beans seemed to be a magic combination of under-cooked and burnt, all at the same time. The mashed potatoes weren't bad, so to speak, but they didn't have anything to them, not even some basic hints of butter, or garlic, or something. I will say that the fingerling potatoes were great! And the cornbread, that we had 45 minutes ago, was really tasty as well. However, that's not a meal.
 When we next saw our waiter, about 10, 12, maybe more, minutes later, he asked us "How is everything?" My vision went RED. I looked at my girlfriend, turned back toward him and politely asked for the check. We both knew that she would've liked to have enjoyed another cocktail, and that we both would've liked to have tried one of the desserts, but having walked in a little before 8 and the fact that it was now right about 9:30-9:45 we also knew that we wouldn't be doing it here.
 The real shame of it all came down to service. It was inexplicable and inexcusable. I'm 35 years old and have been in this industry, from busser to General Manager, for the last 13 of those years. I have to say that I was just dumbfounded. I understand bad days happen, and I understand that chewing someone out isn't going to help anything, but y'all have too nice of a place to have that poor of service. To have no FOH coordination, and to have no FOH/BOH communication as to TX times is a glaring disappointment.
 I wish y'all the best of luck, I just thought you needed to know.
While in Town on a Vacation for the X-Games I stopped here Saturday morning with a few friends for bottomless mimosas. Which basically is unlimited pastrys and mimsas ( you pour the juice yourself from the exotic juice bar.) They have all kinds of fun options, Â huckleberry, passion mango, etc.. Â
I ordered a half Caesar salad with chicken. Â How can you mess that up? Iv had a bettercCaesar pretty much everywhere. Cheese was in large chunks, cheap lettuce, Â fatty/dry chicken. Although , I really didn't come here for the food. The mimosas were fun and the service was awsome. Our server was very sweet, her name was Michelle.
Visiting for business and stopped in for a drink. Great happy hour and even a better late happy hour with half off drinks. Had dinner and the roasted chicken was incredible. Also friend had the pork chop. Great food and reasonable prices for the god quality and service. Btw, bar service was  excellent. Nice vibe and a place for locals and visitors. It was busy every nite.
Review Source:Brunch is a great time at Rialto. The bottomless mimosas were excellent, I loved the exotic juice bar & the pastry buffet. The rest of brunch is order off the menu. I really enjoyed my omelet which was pretty huge and very tasty. Mark got a french toast dish that looked awesome, I should have stolen a bite. Can't wait to go back!
Review Source:Part 2 of our anniversary night. We had a Living Social deal and had heard good reviews. We were looking forward to a romantic dinner, especially after our bad experience at Jazz at Jack's moments earlier.
The restaurant was full but we had reservations and were seated right away. We had a nice big booth seat facing 16th Street Mall and I loved the big windows. It was great except for the very loud party of 10 sitting in front of us and the family of 6 (with small children) to our right. It would've been ok any other night but I specifically told them it was our anniversary when I made the reservation and had asked for a quiet table.
Our server walked by our booth at least three times before finally coming to take our drink order. Not once did she even acknowledge us before then. She also did not tell us the special (we had to ask) nor did she ask if we had any questions on the menu. We told her it was our first time dining there and asked what her recommendations were. She seemed a little annoyed for the questions. When I go to a restaurant of this price point, I expect a certain level of service. She seemed much more concerned for her larger tables than with a meager two top.
We ordered champagne and the seared ahi appetizer. The app was small but pretty good. My boyfriend was really looking forward to the bacon wrapped buffalo meatloaf but was disappointed when it was way too salty (and he loves salt). I don't even remember what I ordered which should say something about the food in itself.
Our experience did not live up to the good things we had heard. Great location though. Would probably be a great place for happy hour to people watch. Overall though, we were not impressed and doubt we'd give it another try.
The layout/decor of Rialto is nice and we had a decent waiter for our brunch yesterday. That's about all the good we had to say....
The brunch food was not right for any of us. I had a breakfast burrito with the innards unmixed and odd tasting, the huevos rancheros were placed on bizarre hockey puck tortillas, and my friend poked at the benedict but couldn't finish half. I wonder if the dinner is better but overall this was a fairly expensive disappointment.
Over priced, mediocre food and no beer selection. We went here for New Years eve. I had the chicken piccata and she had the steak Diane. My chicken was less than average. The chicken was tough in some places and had little flavor. Big disappointment. The steak we ordered medium rare came more medium. It too was a little tough, flavorless and very disappointing. Even the salad which we split, sounded great on the menu (house greens, mandarin oranges, goat cheese, sliced almonds, lemon herb vinaigrette...) but failed to deliver. It was just kind of flavorless and boring. Conversely the service was very good. The staff was courteous and we felt very welcome. But we wont be back.
Review Source:I purchased a Groupon for Rialto. And Im bad about reading the fine print. Well it wasnt available to use on NYE. So I made a reservation used it a few days later for me and a friend.
Walked right in and were seated immediately, and the atmosphere and ambience is great. Nice soft cherry wood colored tables. A Bar area with a few games on.
Nice and quiet and can hold a conversation.
The Server Ryan was great in explaining all that we had to choose from.
My guest went with the French Onion soup, and I had a taste. Im not a fan of soup, but it was delicious and had a baked crust of sorts sitting on top.
I went with the House Green salad, with a lemon dressing. The Goat Cheese and Almonds and oranges all made for a great combination, with Crunchy and soft sweet textures. And The flavors blended together perfectly. If the Salad Was bigger I most definitely could of had the salad as a meal, and not a starter.
Ryan brought out Piping Hot Fresh cornbread and it was delicious. Could of been a little softer but thats a personal preference.
Ryan was great and asking questions about our dishes that we were interested in ordering. And When i said I wanted a Sweet drink he offered up a Pink Martini which Oh Man I could of had a few more of those and been feeling great.
My Guest ordered the London Broil and said it was delicious, and by the looks of it I would agree.
I went with the Shrimp and Lobster Fetticuni with Lobster claws as well.
Perfect presentation. The noodles werent over chewy. And whatever way they cooked the lobster claws they were edible as well, and packed full of tasty meat. And they didnt skimp on the shrimps as well.
I was definitely full but managed room for Dessert and Anywhere i go and See Bread Pudding its a Wrap. Cant go Wrong with White Chocolate Cherry Bread Pudding. Its big enough for 2 after the hearty meal you will be served here.
Ryan was spot on with saying the Bread Pudding and Red Velvet Cake are his most favorite items on the dessert menu.
Though Ill choose the Bread Pudding.
No complaints from me about anything at the Rialto Cafe. Besides not venturing in sooner, and that was my fault lol.
HAPPY EATING
Bottomless mimosas? Yes. Strawberry crepe? Definitely. We went here for Sunday brunch and really enjoyed it. The strawberry crepes were delicious and of course, how can one pass up bottomless mimosas? The bloody mary bar was good too - though I'm told the ingredients would've been better had they been homemade. Great atmosphere for a casual/fun brunch with friends.
Review Source:Great atmosphere from the moment you walk in and see the high ceilings and the tall glass looking out on 16th Street. Plenty of reds that tend to make one feel warm and loved and hungry.
The happy hour menu includes a lot of interesting items like chipotle empanadas (which were great). Plenty of interesting drink options as well.
I'll be back, maybe for dinner next time.
Thank you groupon for helping me to finally take the plunge and dine here! I decided to meet a friend here for dinner and was it yummy. The only draw back to our groupon was that alcohol wasn't covered. I guess that means an app and dessert! After, we had eaten to our hearts content and was about to pay our lovely server told us that we still had value left on our groupon. She asked if we wanted dessert, we decided to ask if she would be able to split it and put it in to go box. And she was amazing and did just that! The only problem was, that the Red Velvet cake looked so good, that we ended up indulging right then and there! I honestly can't remember the rest of our meal, but I would definitely be back for some Red Velvet dessert!
Review Source:We stopped in this little place after we accidentally stumbled upon it. We didn't think to get our phones out and check what the Yelp folks had to say about it, but I am kind of glad we didn't because we might have not eaten here after reading some of the reviews.
We were seated immediately. We decided to try an appetizer because we were THAT hungry, we went with the cheesy artichoke dip and it was very good. The crackers that they use really compliments the dip.
We both ordered the burger, I had the BBQ burger, which was good too. I like that that use red onion instead of the traditional white onions that are usually used on burgers. My husband had the Swiss Mushroom, and he said that it was really good as well.
Service was nice, and we both used the restrooms and they passed the test on cleanliness! LOL
I would recommend.
It's so close to where I live and I wanted it to work so  recently I gave it a second chance.  Fail :( Â
I stopped by here for lunch one day on a business meeting and had a quick lunch. Â Portions were super small and not prepared very well. Â We had a late lunch and decided on Rialto. The hostess and server acted like we were bothering them after their lunch rush. Â ehhhhh
Fast forward a month or so: a friend in town for GABF and I headed over to Rialto for brunch. Â He got the steak and eggs and I Â an omelette. Â He described his steak as not knowing what type of meat it was lol. Â I tried a piece and concur. Â My omelette was like eating hard rubber with some veggies thrown in the middle. Â Neither of finished our meal and we proceeded to go to Golden to D's Deli to find some nourishment. Â
I should have been drinking those bottomless mimosas to ease the pain or maybe the enjoyment after a dozen or so!
I came here with a friend of mine for brunch because I had heard about the infamous "bottomless mimosas". It was too good to be true!
Well, bottomless indeed! They gave us the champagne and set us free to go crazy at the juice bar! Oh, yes, drunk before noon is awesome! Besides the bottomless mimosas, my friend and I decide to share our dishes. We ordered the Baked Fritatta and Strawberry Crepes. Both were equally delicious! Savvy & Sweet!
All in all, it was quite a lovely Saturday! :)
Nope. Nice bait and switch. Staying at the courtyard. Keep walking by the place, as it's attached. I know it's going to be a terrible place but I see the sign that says "half off all cocktails 9:30-close". Fine, it's my last night here, I try it.
After sitting at the bar for a hot minute, junior bartender asks us what we'd like. I ask about the late night happy hour (the one that's advertised all over..) he tells me it's for "locals and service industry people only" Uhhh, okay. Where does it say that? "it doesn't. It just is. But I mean, I guess I can do it for you guys." WOW THANKS. make me feel like you don't want us in there and then begrudgingly honor the original happy hour? No. Just no. After I complained, I was offered a free drink if I wanted to come down & talk to the manager. Why would I want to do that? I was already treated like garbage. So I should come back for more? Maybe junior will spit in my drink, wouldn't that be grand? In case you're wondering, yes, I'm pissed.
Ended up here by luck before seeing a show down the street - primarily because I didn't have reservations at any other places (on a Friday night no less). Â Service was adequate, the noise level was decent, agreeable decor. Â The food was quite good - not good enough to completely race about - I plan to revisit and will update this with my food review.
They also seemed to tolerate our need to promptly process our bill so we could make our show. Â Hooray for being in the theater district.
Rialto isn't the most exotic or exciting restaurant downtown (it's a bit cookie cutter for me) but we went last night and had a nice time. Their drink menu is lengthy and the food menu has lots of options. The gluten free menu is a big plus in our book.
What we ordered: Hummus as a starter. It was average. A glass of sauvignon blanc and a whisky ginger to drink. The turkey burger with avocado and fries gets a B+. Husband ordered pork chops which he devoured.
Would we go back? Not soon but it's a decent option if you're on 16th street.
Best part: You can go for a nice dinner or go to the bar, grab a drink, and watch whatever sport is on. Not too bad.
I had not been to the Rialto for at least a decade. Â The last time I came, I think I had drinks and an appetizer on the patio. Â This location is popular on the weekends for people watching on the 16th street mall. Â I remember expensive drinks, mediocre food, and sitting in a cloud of cigarette smoke. Â Needless to say, I had not been in a hurry to return.
We went here yesterday for dinner before a show at the Buell Theater. Â Rialto Cafe offers a prix fixe theater menu with a three course meal for $25. Â This does not include tax and tip, but does include free parking nearby. You start with a choice of salads or the soup of the day. I had the House Greens salad (mandarin oranges, goat cheese, sliced almonds, lemon herb vinaigrette). Â The four entree choices included Fresh Scottish Salmon (not gonna happen, for folks that know me), a 1/2 Herb Roasted Chicken (one of my dinner companions had this, it was freakin' huge, moist, and delicious), Bacon wrapped Shrimp (I shared some of this with one of my other dinner companions and thought is was good, but not great), and Beef Short Ribs (which were outstanding). Â The Short Ribs were flavorful, moist, delicious, and falling off the bone tender. Â The whipped potatoes with which they were served, were the next best thing to good, homemade, mashed potatoes. Â The rustic root veggies were parsnips (which I found to be a bit bitter), but my other dining companions enjoyed.
When it was time for dessert, we found out that they were out of the white chocolate bread pudding, which saddened some of us.  Most of us went for the red velvet layer cake, we split the Liks ice cream sampler, and I had the *CRÈME BRÛLÉE* (emphasis added).  The red velvet cake was surprisingly good (I am not usally a fan).  It was like a red velvet Tiramisu had an illegitimate child after a passionate night with a cheese cake. . . . yeah, it was that good.  However, in my mind the *CRÈME BRÛLÉE* was even better.  It was not the fanciest and most unique one I have ever had.  However, it was (in my mind) prepared perfectly, and was a huge serving (compared to most *CRÈME BRÛLÉES* I have had).  It was very popular and was quickly consumed.
Happy hour prices were decent. Â My beer could have been colder (and less flat). Â My dining companions enjoyed their wine.
One minor (but lengthy) complaint, the free parking was very appreciated, but getting in and out of the parking garage at Independence Plaza is bit of an ordeal. Â The directions say the entrance is on the left side of Curtis, however the map provided clearly points to the right side of the street. Â The long and steep ramp will surely scrape the bottom of many cars. Â The interior of the parking garage is a convoluted rat-maze. Â And, the icing on the cake is trying to find your way back into the building in the later hours. Â Apparently, you are supposed to correctly guess that the only way in is by going through Rock Bottom Brewery. Â We discovered this after circling the block.
I love getting invited to places I've never heard of. I don't have any preconceived notions.  I show up and live the moment.  We were headed to La Cage aux Folles and wanted to have dinner.  Since I was "la cinquième roué," I went where the group decided.
In one sentence: I was very happy with this restaurant.
We arrived about 5 and it was Happy Hour with reduced drink prices...a good start.
The 3 course Theatre Dinner Menu for only $25 was just about perfect...and it included free parking. Â I enjoyed the Beef Short Ribs...slow-braised in red wine with rustic root vegetables and whipped potatoes. The house Cab paired perfectly.
I'll say this meal reminded me of something my grandmother used to make...it was that good.
The bread, though, was average at best. Â When I leave uneaten bread on the table, it is not good.
The service was excellent.
I'll go back.
This trendy cafe is awesome for many reasons and is the perfect  place is you are looking for ANY of the following things:
1. A late brunch. They offer their delicious brunch menu items until 2pm on Saturday & Sunday's, along with their make-your-own-bloodies and bottomless mimosas :)
2. Bomb ass food. I had the crab cake Benedict [I'm a sucker for anything with hollandaise sauce!] served with crisp potatoes! wow! We also noshed on the fresh blueberry pancakes, bacon and their yummy mexican breakfast!! mmm! They also offer a fruit and pastry bar :) all you can eat!
3. A cozy and cute atmosphere. The bf and I met up with his parents before a day of shopping and wine tasting and found this environment to be adorable, chic and just what we were looking for!
4. An even better deal. Although their prices aren't too shabby, be sure to check in using the foursquare app, as they offer an additional 15% off the entire food bill, if you do! :)
5. Great service! Despite dining in a packed restaurant, our server was prompt, polite and very helpful. Our drinks were constantly filled and we left with smiles on our faces.
Overall, I found myself loving this cafe for many reasons, and will gladly return :)
I can only comment on the weekend brunch, but each time I've eaten here, I've come away happy (and buzzed). Â I'm pretty certain that the food was solid, but with bottomless mimosas paired with a buffet of fresh(?) juices, who cares? Â Orange, mango, pineapple, raspberry, watermelon, tangerine, grapefruit, and several more -- this is my kind of brunch!
Review Source:I like that Rialto has an exotic juice bar to 'make your own' mimosa. They also have a pastry bar to add a little sweetness to your brunch... I can never order a whole plate of pancakes or french toast because I prefer my meal savory but I still love a small bite of sweet with my coffee.
I have only had brunch (several times) at Rialto. I'll come update if I make it in for any other meals.
Bottomless mimosas - yup, need I say more??
Seriously the mimosa bar on weekends is amazing - they just keep bringing you glasses of champagne, you pick your juices!
Stacked huevos - oh my yumminess! Amazing meal!
Staff is very friendly, and helpful
I'll be back for the beer Friday deal!
I feel like this place is an upscale Denny's. Seriously. Trying to be something better than what it is. Prices on the menu all end in .99. Really? Maybe it's the 16th Street Mall thing. It smelled like a tourist trap.
We had drinks at the bar and eyed the odd crowd. It was all just weird. Wine list was overpriced and not that great.
Avoid.
We went on a Saturday late afternoon and thought we'd try a few different appetizers. Â
The Gorgonzola stuffed dates were a real interesting treat. If we'd only had that we'd have left with a good taste in our mouth.
The seared ahi was very mediocre..lfresh enough to eat but nothing original and a chancy portion for $12.99 My daughter had tasty Kobe sliders and truffle fries. The fries were so so and not what I have experienced as truffle fries which are not just "French fries" the meat in the burger was ok but didn't taste like Kobe. One was well done was was on the rare side. They didn't ask how she wanted them.
The Calimari was the worst I have ever had.a large  portion of tasteless batter with some cailimari.
There are many better places to go while walking on the16th street mall. I say keep walking.
Terrible service. The bartender at this particular restaurant was extremely condescending and not representative of the great service you can find at many other establishments nearby. The prices are also not competitive at all compared to nearby businesses.
Bottom line: probably not worth your time.
We went for a good friends birthday party. The first bad thing is that my friend had a groupon thing and because we were in a "party" couldn't use it. Didn't' t make a lot of sense but after it was pointed out, it did state that in the "small print". So, I ordered the sausage fritata. Don't know where they hid the sausage but for the $18 it cost, I would have hoped to find some, didn't and it was not good. The service was very slow, only got to enjoy 1 "bottomless" bloody Mary. The location is great, the ambiance OK but for the price I expected much more. The pastry was great. But again, too little to make up for the whole experience. Won't be back...
As an addition, I was very happy to see that the owner's of this place got back to me right away and offered me a gift certificate to return for a better experience, I replied I would love it as every place has a bad day but never heard from them again..has been a while. If I could give this place no stars I would. IF YOU ARE GOING TO OFFER SOMETHING THEN HONOR THE OFFER otherwise don't bother...wouldn't go back here if YOU PAID ME TO!
