What a gem in the middle of Maryville! My wife and I enjoyed our dinner at RT Lodge very much. Firstly, we enjoyed the cozy lodge itself and the old-school feel of the bar and dining areas. The meal itself didn’t disappoint. It was expertly prepared and nicely presented. The wine menu was plenty extensive and quite impressive. The servers were all great as well. In short, we would recommend RT Lodge for a romantic or simply a non-romantic elevated dinner out.
