Never can seem to go wrong with their meals here .. surf and turf was a repeater favorite, along with their pork chop meal and today's soup of the day ... wedding meatball. Great desserts, too. Service unsurpassed.

The food was great, live music was amazing, and the atmosphere was very relaxed. The prices were good. The only negative was the scented candle on the table. It was very strong and gave us a headache before we had to remove it from the table. Lots of seating I side and out. Local artist have their paintings hanging around the establishment for purchase, which is pretty cool. Clean. Parking is a bit cumbersome but free if you can find it. Seating right by the river for enjoyable views.

What a perfect dining experience! We shared five different small plates and dessert. Every dish was visually appealing and perfectly prepared. Our waiter, Mustafa, contributed to the experience by expertly guiding our choices. Every recommendation was a hit! Along with the excellent meal and exemplary service, the view was spectacular! We watched a fox and osprey as entertainment for the evening.

Thank you, Erica, for our last and most favorite meal on our 2 week girls road trip! Your kind hospitality and delicious food was the best way to end our adventure. We would come back to Fredericksburg just to have another meal there!

My husband and I went there for dinner. My third time and his first. We had dates wrapped in bacon for an appetizer and then we had paella for our entree.

Had the meatball were not very flavorful-the sauce was hot but the actual meatball wasn’t even warm. The brussel sprouts were barely roasted.

Love coming here!! Every time the food has been great! The servers are very nice and patient with the elderly guests that were with us. Really cool view if the Chatham Manor across the Rappahannock River. Their charcuterie plate was double the normal portions you'd get elsewhere! They have some tasty wines as well!
Delicious treats!We got a mix of items to check out this tapas spot after friends recommended it.I'll let the photos speak for my review, but what you cannot see is how everything is tender and perfectly seasoned!We tried cavolfiore, datilles, croquettes, albondigas, queso de cabra, and finished with the sweet zeppole.If I could complain, it would be 'give me more' - but that is not the idea here. Enjoy many small tastes and textures!Highly recommend.Oh, and don't let any small servings throw you, it's actually very filling!

Great food, great drinks, and great atmosphere. Waiter took a lot of time to return to our table in between orders, but not bad enough to dock points. The music was jazzy and gave a classy feel. The view was great. I enjoyed my time here.

A little improvement on the service will get it to the right rating!!!Food is excellent!!!!
We went to Tapa Rio for restaurant week and it did not dissapoint! The burrata pizzaiolo with smoked honey and toasted hazelnuts was amazing. We ordered off of the restaurant week menu and decided on the shrimp. 6 shrimp was not enough because it was DELICIOUS. Go get your stamp!
