   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!

   Great service, ambiance and food and drinks. Everything was easy and approachable in this neighborhood gem. We chose this place for its closeness to the Palace of Fine Arts Theater (a short 12 minute walk). We’d come back even if we weren’t watching a show.

   The restaurant itself is lovely and the food is quite good. However, the service was lacking. Orders from other tables were brought to our table, and it took quite a long time for the staff to work out the problem. Trays were dropped, clanging loudly on the floor, two different servers tried to bring us appetizers and entrees we didn’t order. However, once we got our food, it was delicious. I’de like to think the service staff was having a bad night. The ambience and the food make me want give this jewel in the Marina a second chance.

   This restaurant was interesting. We went there for a birthday celebration. The Service was excellent, especially Natala, and the most standout part of the experience. The food was good, fresh, and flavorful. The place, however, was very cold and took a lot out of our experience. It was Monday night, and we were one of a handful of tables. The part that was preplexing was that the next day when I saw the detailed bill, the prices on the check were higher than what was on the menu and their website. But that's my bad for not checking!

   All around fun experience. Food was delicious and well presented. Service was friendly but a bit uneven (we had to wait 10 minutes to order a drink). We will be back.

   We always enjoy our Ristobar evenings and love the “new” dining area. We brought an out of town guest who was very impressed with all aspects of the experience!

   The food was delicious and the space is lovely. We had a couple issues towards the end of the meal with the service and payment process, the auto gratuity for any number of people in the party was not clear and so we ended up double tipping.

    Mattia was absolutely wonderful! We hosted a party of 23 and the venue was perfect! Incredible environment, food and service.
