Food is awesome. Make sure they have charcuterie before coming, it sells out fast. Everything on the menu is delicious. But the service is very slow, though friendly. But unless you have a company to chat with and lots of free time to spare, it’s tough.

Everything was disappointing, the service, the food. You have to ring to get upstairs and they don’t answer the door buzz or the phone number that they provide. We had to be let upstairs by somebody that lived in the building. We also had. A reservation but they didn’t care about it since it was seat yourself anywhere but that wasn’t an issue. The tables were wobbly and some chairs were broken. The plates given to us were dirty and the tables werent all that clean. It was dark inside and not in a cute charming way. The service was slow and it took the workers wayy too long to go attend to the outside tables, even though most of the tables are outside. The server was odd, and clearly his coworkers thought so too. It was super loud and overwhelming with horribly clashing playlists playing in the background. It was a relief when the live music came on because it got people to quiet down and the soundtrack got turned off. The shrimp flatbread was not good, the classic old fashion was sweet when it shouldn’t have been. The only things that were decent were the bahn mi sliders and the ris-tiki.

Spent the weekend at the Westin down the street from this place for a work conference. Came in for dinner last night with some colleagues and was served by an amazing server named Drew, they recommended some great things to try, we loved all of them! The atmosphere is great, there was live music playing and the service was quick. Everything was so yummy! My girls and I had to double back this afternoon to have lunch, where we were lucky enough to be served by the same great server! Will definitely be making this my go-to place from now on 🫶 thanks Drew!

Food was good. But the server either never came around or made us feel rushed.

Excellent location for nearby attractions and venues. Not a lot of indoor seating and outside was a little chilly. Bring a jacket. Come early for a pre-show bite or cocktail. Service was with a smile but slow. Food from the offbeat menu was worth it.
Risü [risu = 'smile' in latin] is a hidden neighborhood gem located on the beautiful Rainbow bridge right by to the LB Convention Center. With a spacious patio overlooking the LED bridge and a pristinely kept rose garden, Risü is a great spot for parties, dates, families, and solo adventurers alike. The restaurant is casual, modern, and suave, has good bar selections, great American-style tapas, salads, flat breads, and even live music on Fridays and Saturdays. The staff is skillful and personable, creating a warm and welcoming atmosphere, plus the bartenders make great cocktails. I enjoy pretty much everything on the menu, especially their spicy shrimp appetizer, a very unique salmon wrap, delish chicken wings and sliders, healthy salads, and out of the flat breads, the short rib wins my vote. Risü is dog friendly (ask about their pup dish), has dedicated garage parking, and is open daily at 4PM. Don't miss out on their happy hours :)

First time here. Picked it because it was close to ICT theater just down the street. Nice small plate dishes . I had a crispy salmon wrap which was very good.
