Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

Incredible restaurant and one of the best steaks I can recall. The vibe is sophisticated and modern, with the DJ on a Saturday night providing the perfect tech-house atmosphere. The member of waiting staff I had was brilliant, recommending both food and drink options, all...of which were spot on! Prior to the starter some warm bread was served, which was totally delicious, but as a result the actual starter of octopus was served perhaps a little too quickly. Saying that though it was a good portion size and really tasty; a great start to the experience. My main was filet steak with truffle fries and vegetables as the side. Cooked medium rare the steak was perfect, presented well and genuinely one of the best I’ve ever had. The portion of fries and veg was great and equally impressive in terms of flavour. There was no need for desert but I really want to return and can only therefore highly recommend. It’s obviously not a cheap option in the city but totally worth it both for the service, atmosphere and food itself.More

Very dark, behaves like a restaurant warranting large price tags but doesn’t deliver. Food was average at best, service was disappointing, no spoon for my soup. No bread on the table, sea food soup had one prawn and two overcooked muscles in it. Burgers were...over seasoned ( very salty), and my husbands burger was drowned in sauce, literally exploded everywhere. I would have been happy with a burger like this in a pub or cafe but not in a place that charges £20 for a burger!!More

This is one of the best steak houses in Bratislava. I like the touch with the sizzling hot lava rock, but prefer the chef-made versions. Good argentinian wines, nice service and all around the items on the menu are prepared well.

As a restaurant- too dark, too noisy with background music, and the food was particularly disappointing for the price - dry, overcooked and over seasoned.

Very nice lounge-like atmosphere, discreet and professional service, nice interior. The setting has its special vibe, definitely! I was recommended by the waiter to pick risotto, and since i am quite a fan of risottos, i must say, that was an exquisite dish. Very delicios....Stylish place and great food to taste! Very much recommended.More

If you want an elegant place, good food, a super vodka sour...and the most beautiful women of Bratislava, go to the Rio Restaurant and Bar. Good beef tartare, good duck breast, good slovak wine, super cocktails, elegant people, house music...everything is ok. In my opinion,...just one negative thing: it's a little bit expensive, the prices are like in Milano. Four courses, one bottle of slovak wine (Dunaj) and four wodka sour 144 euro.More

We were welcomed straight away, interior was dark, but cozy. Everyone spoke English, food arrived quite quickly. And it was something we would love to come back for, it was nicely served and really delicious! Great experience, recommending this place.
