"I have been there a couple of times for both dinner and brunch. The food is really good. If you go there for brunch, meal proportions are huge. Keep an eye out."

"It was a cold rainy night and the place was packed. The food and the service were good.I had a salad with large shrimp but it wasn't filling enough for dinner.My husband had a fish and pasta dish which he enjoyed. The room was almost full with a loud table nearby. They finally settled down. We were in the closed outside room which was not insulated so at times it was cold. We did comment to the server about this and the heat was restored. I would return when the weather improves."

"I had not been back to Rachel's during the day in a long time, the outdoor deck was full so we were seated inside. The decor is outdated, the seat cushions were stained and the tables did not align, we were also seated right near the kitchen so the waitstaff would have to squeeze by carrying the trays over our heads. Our waitress was pleasant however slow on refilling drinks and she never did bring us another basket of bread when we asked her to."

"I used Open Table to find a nearby seafood restaurant for my daughter's birthday. What a surprise to find such a nice restaurant with delicious food. I plan on revisiting in the summer so that we can eat outside."

"Rachel's never fails to meet or exceed expectations. The new patio cover is amazing, extra space, "outside dining" in the winter with climate control. Can't wait to come back."
