We chose Harper Wolf for a special birthday celebration of a close person, in a part of Riga that holds deep personal meaning — a neighborhood filled with childhood memories, once home and the place where school years were spent. Unfortunately, the experience turned out to be frustrating as Harper Wolf failed on every front. Reservation & Arrival I booked a table in advance and have indicated that it will birthday celebration. Upon arrival, the lobby was under active construction—loud, messy, and uninviting. It was unclear whether the restaurant was even open. Inside, the dining area was empty and not separated from the noisy lobby. When I asked to be seated somewhere quieter, the waiter offered only the terrace, with no alternatives. No one from the restaurant find useful to reach me in advance to inform about renovation or offer options. Terrace Seating The terrace was poorly arranged. A work van blocked the park view, the sunshade didn’t cover our group, and the tables were unstable—we had to use napkins to level them. Compared to other restaurants like Mio, the atmosphere in terrace lacked charm and thoughtful design. Restroom Confusion When I asked to wash my hands, the staff seemed unsure. Eventually, someone guided me till the place, but while I was using the sink, a cleaner began pouring water into a bucket beside me—an awkward and inconsiderate moment that reflected poor guest care. Service Service was inattentive and unprofessional. The waiter recited the menu without enthusiasm and made no effort to improve our experience. Despite being the only guests, he failed to clear the table properly and even placed new cutlery on top of used ones. When appetizers arrived, no individual plates were provided, making sharing uncomfortable. Food • Bread & Butter: butter served frozen and inedible at first—we had to wait for it to thaw in the sun. • Appetizers: Dutch croquettes (duck and tuna) were bland and lacked flavor (€17.50). The glazed beef tongue (€14.45) was overly sweet with little depth. Scallops were ordered but never served at all. • Main Courses: • Eggplant dish (€21) was overwhelmed by a thick batter, masking the vegetable’s flavor. In short, it was not eatable dish, however we are fans of eggplant. • Grilled veal steak (€26) was well-cooked, but the accompanying meat was overdone and the sauce forgettable. • In the wild deer dish (€26), the mushrooms and sauce stood out more than the meat itself. • Dessert: A nitrogen-cooled pastry set (€39) looked impressive but was disappointing—small portions, some pastries cut in half, and a honey cake that was difficult to eat due to its texture. Actually it consisted of 2 cookies, 4 profiteroles and 2 pastries cut into two pieces. Summary The food was mediocre, the service inattentive, and the atmosphere chaotic. Despite booking in advance, we were not warned about the renovation or offered alternatives. The overall experience felt careless and overpriced. For €160, the birthday celebration was frustrating and disappointing. Recommendation to locals tourists If you live in Riga or want a real taste of the city, don’t judge Riga’s food scene by this restaurant. There are many excellent options like @Riviera, @Italissimo, @Ferma and others that offer superior food, great value, quality, and service, making for a wonderful evening. I do not recommend Harper Wolf.

As a hotel guest, I wanted to get something to eat. The place was only half full, but the waitress said that due to a high number of guests, the kitchen wouldn’t operate for an hour. However, by the time they will reopen, they will already be closing. This is really disappointing. I love this hotel and visit regularly, but this experience is leaving a bitter taste. The bar on the other hand is excellent. That’s why the 2 stars. Otherwise it would only be one.. Food: 1 Service: 1 Atmosphere: 2

This is my favorite restaurant in Riga. The food is phenomenal. The atmosphere in this restaurant is everything I love, old exposed brick, soft velvet couches, and chairs for seating and the music truly in the background. Coupled with an amazing kitchen and a very knowledgeable staff and you'll wonder how this place is so affordable. Meal type: Dinner Price per person: €40–45 Food: 5 Service: 5 Atmosphere: 5
