    The setting was amazing for a nice and professional setting. The staff attire was pretty on point. The overall vibe was amazing. Portion serving was pretty good. Generally, the food was pretty good. The RPM Caesar salad was amazing. The black pepper seasoning was a great touch to the salad. The Gorgonzola-Cured Wagyu and the branzino with fennel salsa verde was amazing. We loved every bit of it. However, we didn’t enjoy side salmon. It was uncooked, very bland and very soggy. Overall the environment was great.

    Wonderful evening - friendly and attentive service. Excellent food (don’t forget the focaccia with ricotta and honey) and sizable portions. Spectacular and vast wine list - markups can be “impressive” but many wines are hard to find and worth the splurge. The food definitely stands up to the wine offerings. The dining room is calming and reserved but not pretentious . Highly recommended. I am never disappointed with any Lettuce property.

    Meh. Disappointing. Its a shame this well appointed restaurant suffers from mediocre food and distracted service, or perhaps it was just our server. The food is presented well, but the swordfish with a red pepper coulis reminded me of country fried steak with ketchup. The fish was overcooked and the coulis overpowered the taste. The homemade pasta did remind me of homemade -- gummy and overcooked. The red gravy was uninspired. Our server might of been hard of hearing or just over worked, but we had to go over our order with him several times before he got it right, and then he had to come back to the table twice to verify our order. When I discovered after the fact that this was one of the lettuce entertain restaurant chain I realized my mistake, this was billed as real Italian when in fact it was tourist Italian.. The Tiramisu was the one saving grace of the night.

    We had two separate reservations and couldn’t be seated near each other which was fine. My table had 5 kids on it. While there food came out in a reasonable time, the adults food seems like it was forgotten. I ordered an appetizer and it never came. My sisters steak was far from medium well. The waitress ask us if we wanted dessert even before the entrees came out. We got there at 7:30, and didn’t get our entrees until 8:45, which was 15 mins before they closed. All while my other family members with the other reservation had already finished everything. Terrible service…

    This was our fourth visit here and we try to stop in when in town. Wait staff was friendly but not obnoxious, while cocktails, meatball app, pasta entrees, and dessert made the extra effort worth it. Prior visits had us sitting across from a table of NHLers, but this time we enjoyed some youngsters taking pictures of themselves for about 30 minutes until the rest of their party arrived. Not dull.

    we have come to rpm many times for their terrific happy hour, so we decided to try their fixed price lunch-- it was disappointing. two of us had the char which was good. I had the arugula salad which was very soggy as if it had been made hours before lunch. I had the fusilli with squash. The pasta was way over cooked and the squash was under cooked. the dish was swimming in butter and no spice. It was socially awkward -- or I would have sent it back. The waitress noticed i had only eaten a little and offered me a box rather than asking if was ok. Dessert was ok. Also it was a late lunch and they were blasting the music. Don't think i will be back for a meal.

    Always a wonderful culinary experience and never fails to meet our palates’ expectations. The spicy king crab and mushroom risotto were exquisite. It would’ve been absolutely stellar if the server/restaurant honored my advanced notice that we were there to celebrate my wife’s birthday. Not even a single word or acknowledgment.

    Pretty restaurant, with good service unless it's crowded. The food, however, could use improvement. Most of our party of six thought the pasta dishes lacked flavor, and we thought there was an unnecessary charge for bread.

    Our overall experience was a success. Our server Dan was amazing. He gave excellent recommendations. The food was delicious and delightful. My only hesitation would be the taste of the dessert. It was the donuts with a Nutella whipped topping. The exterior of the donut was very sweet and light. However the inside was bland and flavorless. I would definitely recommend this place for the ambiance and the service.

    My girlfriend and I came here for our anniversary and we were absolutely amazed. We were given a large booth on one side of the restaurant and the service was on point from then on. Perfect cadence for ordering food, drinks were refilled or replenished right when I thought I’d want more. As someone who works in restaurant management, I would want guests in my restaurant to receive this level of service. Not to mention they brought us out a dessert plate with some candles with a “Happy Anniversary” sign on it. Just the perfect touch, thank you so much!
