Everything was pretty good { food / service/ atmosphere } the only thing that was a head-scratcher was the hostess seating us extremely close to a large round that was filled by 6 loud and obnoxious people. And when I say we were close I mean when one of them backed out her chair it hit our table & almost knocked everything over...

Very disappointing! We arrived early so we went to the bar for a drink. First mistake. Service: Bartender (especially) and host staff couldn't have cared less about us. Waiter was accommodating but was a bit put-off by an allergy request at our table (partly our fault but still). Food: The appetizers were great but my dinner was like pasta in a bowl of grease; not butter or olive oil--just greasy. Overall: We all agreed that we expected, and did not receive, exceptional service from the RPM name and for the price we would go somewhere else next time.

We had a wonderful time! We will most definitely be back! There was a minor emergency that caused us to need to evacuate, but the staff was amazing and so attentive once we were allowed back inside :). The food was also excellent and not as expensive as one would expect from such a high class place. Staff is very knowledgeable and accommodating!

All of the food was excellent, except the kale and spinach salad was way overdressed, soaked in the dressing, way to heavy, which was really surprising given how excellent everything else was. That's a miss for the kitchen.

The food was amazing; however service just so so. We had to ask for some bread and butter twice. Too many employees and not a good service. It took a long time to get some bread but the waiter was coming to pick up our plates while we were still eating. Strange approach for such pricey place.

We came here in a Saturday for a couples dinner (us and one other couple). I was surprised how well most people were dressed - several groups wearing suits and dresses. The food was great too. I would come here for pasta (all their options are good but the Cacio e Pepe was on POINT) but the steak and seafood options were good too. What really out it over the top for us was the service and attention to detail. The server was not only attentive but also recommended a great alternative when they ran out of my favorite scotch.

RPM used to be a fantastic restaurant. Now the food is average, you can tell the kitchen staff has changed. It is definitely not worth the price. I don’t think I will come back. Waiters should be better trained to serve dietary requirements. The menu choice was more American ‘Italian’ rather than traditional Italian.
