Fantastic relaxed atmosphere. The food is brilliant, clever with loads of hidden subtle tastes. The restaurant was full and tables fully booked for the night. The staff were really helpful with the chicken main course and Elk burger being highlights. The special ice cream was recommended by the waiter and waitress, and the many beautiful flavours and the presentation was a triumph. The cost was a lot less than we expected, and so therefore we felt we had great value. Very happy to recommend Domini Capes to all.

Our cosy yet chic Dome Fish Restaurant has established its reputation with delicious fish cuisine. The fish we serve here is delivered mostly by small local fisheries and even fishermen themselves. Thus, once a week there's a special delivery from PÄvilos

By chance the restaurant was very close to our hotel. We were celebrating a major anniversary and were happy to splash out. Champagne, wine, oysters, halibut, desserts, tea etc etc. We ate on the roof terrace on a very warm evening. Service was charming and efficient and we were made to feel at home. The food was really very good, as was the champagne and the wine. We highly recommend the Dome.

We had dinner here and expectations were quite high based on ratings and recommendations. Most of tje food were tasteless and looked much better than actually tasted. They seemed to have forgotten all spices from the food. Would not recommend this one, pick another one.

Vincents is excellent and worth the expense. We ate here as our âsplurge mealâ for our 9 day trip to Latvia, Estonia, and Lithuania. They truly make dinner an experience and it was something we will never forget! The presentation, the service, and the food is incredible. If you go to Riga, you canât miss this!

...but other than then, it was a pretty 'ok' experience.The food was great, despite the fact the two medium grilled beef fillet' ended up being one medium and one medium red (grill is their speciality) - and this after they were out of the Chateaubriand, which seemed to be a 'show piece' on the menu, more than something they actually have in stock (waitress looked surprised that anyone would order it)? But again, overall a good experience...

On our second visit to this beautiful "old town" city of Riga, we rushed to the restaurant to book a late table after the opera (which is almost opposite) and were again delighted with the ambience, the food, its presentation and the service. The flavours of the food were not spoilt by too much "presentation"; the table settings and cutlery/crockery top-class and there is a lovely view over the park from the enormous windows. Relaxed and replete..what more can one say except that we hope to visit Riga again and the Kolonade will be on the list of to-do.
