Was great food my first visit. Unfortunately I went for dinner on Sunday night and they were closed for a staff meeting.

My family and I have been relatively routine patrons of Rí Rá since it opened, and there's definitely a lot to like. The atmosphere feels more Irish than any pub I visited in Ireland, the menu is well done, and the staff is generally excellent. I have to give the restaurant 3/5 stars simply due to its inconsistency. I have been in on a weekend night and the food has been out of this world. I also went in with my family for my birthday a few weeks ago, ordered fish & chips (one of my favorites here, especially with some curry sauce) and received one piece of fish that was bigger than the plate. The breading was falling off and the fish itself tasted incredibly greasy. The food was long in coming, staff was generally rather inattentive, and it took long enough that I didn't have time with my ticking toddler time bomb to request they make it right. So, long story short, if you're here during peak time when they have their experienced cooks in the kitchen and their competent staff waiting, you're in for a real treat. Any other time? Very hit or miss.

Fantastic experience. Somewhat small beer selection, but decent variety. The food was very good. I had the pretzels with beer cheese and they were fresh, flaky, and perfect. After that I asked for recommendations and was told the fish and chips were the best. My meal arrived with salt, lemon, malt vinegar, and ketchup, so all tastes should be covered. The fish was huge and cooked perfectly! I went with a bit of lemon, salt, and vinegar and it was excellent. Very friendly staff as well.

Had the fish and chips. Outstanding! The service was a tad on the slow side, but they were slammed this evening, so it was totally understandable. Especially with the crowd we brought with us. Could have used more traditional Irish music over the pa. The food was delicious, the Guinness was perfect, and the servers were kind and friendly. 10/10 would go here again. Fantastic for large groups.
