Food: Taste teeters between good and forgettable

The taste at Rialto flip flops truly impressing the clientele and fading into mediocrity. There isn't much creativity in the menu options and the food, though mostly composed of organic fresh ingredients, doesn't always hit the mark. Portions are neither here nor there. Service value is balanced by the higher prices.

  • Great Quality

    Organic, fresh ingredients contribute to delicious, healthy dining experiences.

  • Okay Taste

    Reviews vary from good taste to not outstanding or memorable.

  • Not Creative

    Some menus lack memorable, distinctive options, and innovative culinary approaches.

Vibe: Buzzing hotspot with jarring soundtrack

Rialto boasts a remarkable ambiance that makes for memorable dining experiences. On one hand, the vibe is trending with a consistent influx of patrons appreciative of its Instagrammable ambiance. On the flip side, the excessively loud music can prove disruptive and outdoor views shaded in a cold, uncomfortable shadow.

  • Great Ambiance

    Great ambiance often enhances dining experience, making it memorable.

  • Bad Drinks

    Limited drink options outside, overpriced drinks, and service inconsistencies

Perks: Service stumbles under heavy loads

Rialto routinely drops the ball where parking and reservations are concerned. Parking is challenging with limited availability at a distance from the restaurant. Reservations are even tougher with patrons commonly fending off long wait times before seating. The restaurant's small footprint makes group accommodation and outdoor seating a tall order.

  • Great For Diets

    Accommodating service and multiple vegan and vegetarian options available.

  • Hard To Park

    Parking challenges persist; limited, hard to find, distance dissuades some.
