La Kanna — Restaurant in Riga

Our small group went here for supper the other evening. We visited this restaurant quite some time ago and looked forward to our return. We were greeted kindly by staff and seated near the bar - comfy seats. The waiter took our drink and starters order and had them to our table very quickly. Both the antipasti plate and buratta were very good. We ordered our mains and enjoyed a few drinks while waiting. The waiter (also our bartender) was very friendly. He was suggesting drinks to suit our tastes and took time to explain how they were made. When our mains came out, the first thing to notice was the care taken for the presentation - they looked great. My risotto was rich and delicious, with the rice done perfectly. How good was it? Others at the table ordered one to share after their meal hahahaha. My wife's steak was cooked perfectly and tasted great. I would have to say everything was perfect at this point. The dessert choices were not quite what we were expecting. The chocolate chip cookie was a bit hard (almost like biscotti). The peanut butter cookie was good. I did order one of their main dessert selections - the Rhubarb Mousse. It was definitely something different - just not quite what I was expecting. Overall, this evening out was a great meal. The atmosphere, the food, the drinks, and service were great. Thanks for...

Having weekend brunch at this restaurant turned out to be a disappointing experience.

First of all, the portion sizes did not match the price, making it feel like you were paying more for the setting than for the food itself. Additionally, none of the dishes were labeled with names or ingredients, which can be a serious issue for people with food allergies or dietary restrictions.

The only beverage included in the price was tap water, which had an unpleasant taste. It would have been nice to have at least a small selection of fruits available—something that should be a given at a brunch.

One of the most unpleasant aspects was that an omelet was being cooked right in the dining area, next to the tables, with poor ventilation. As a result, our clothes absorbed the strong smell of food, which was far from ideal.

Service was also underwhelming. Despite noticing guests searching for a place to leave their coats, the waitress offered no assistance, leaving us to figure it out on our own.

In the end, the overall experience felt more like dining at a cafeteria or canteen rather than a proper restaurant, falling short in terms of quality, service,...

Small place with inside/outside seating (outside seating consists of 3 tables). It has low-lighting and cozy chairs creating an intimate atmosphere. There was only one waitress and she was hustling the entire time attending to every table. She was very polite, warm and accommodating. Having said this, I was felt rushed - not because she was busy - but because that is the vibe here. As for the food, I was not impressed. The edamame barely had any salt so I was essentially eating plain steamed edamame - no flavor just texture. The tuna tartare was unimpressive. The sweet potato puree was cold tasteless as was the tuna as it was thickly sliced and therefore the center was refrigerator-cold atop the cold puree and pesto. The highlight of this place for me was the relaxed vibe and cozy space. I would...
