    Service was amazing, food as well. A bit pricey compared to Iowa, but seems to be in line with other restaurants in the area. Definitely would recommend for business or personal dining.

    Went to RPM Seafood for my birthday and the food was amazing. We had the grilled Spanish octopus for and appetizer which was amazing. For my meal I had the grilled black bass with moroccan spices which was very good. The triple chocolate cake was very decadent! We will definetely go back again.

    Beautiful setting on the river. Meal was very good except my steak was very fatty. Having had ribeyes before, I know there’s some fat but half the steak was fat. Also, the fact that there are no sides with an $80 steak (or more) seems a trend that does not make sense especially when there are only two people. I would rather have a small quantity included with the main then a large quantity that I have to pay for and having too much food. My husband did like his crab cake and fish. The server was not friendly, didn’t seem to have time for us, not even coming by to ask if everything was ok after our meal was served. I know she was busy, but one can still be kind, she seemed very unfriendly. We did not ask or need any “extra” service but it was my husbands birthday. Even that seemed like they didn’t want to be bothered. Very disappointing at this price point. Not impressed.

    We enjoyed a Sunday evening at RPM Seafood, but struggled a bit with the service. We felt rushed to order our appetizers and beverage, and unfortunately received our apps well before our beverage. Multiple times throughout our service they tried to clear our plates while we were still eating! We had to pay attention so they wouldn’t take our plates while we were enjoying table conversation. Not good! We had to ask for an explanation of the menu and, again, felt rushed. We had a 7:30 reservation and they were vacuuming around our table as we were finishing dessert. Hint….hint……we’re trying to close down. The food and drink were good, but overall the experience was one that will not bring us back. Disappointed.
    RPM SeafoodResponded 4 days ago
    Hi Amy, Thank you for your feedback. We're sorry to hear about the service issues you experienced. It’s disappointing to learn that you felt rushed and that the timing of your appetizers and beverages were off. We aim to provide attentive and unhurried service, and it’s clear we missed the mark during your visit. Your comments about the plate clearing and the early cleaning are valuable, and we’ll address these concerns with our team. I’m glad you enjoyed the food and drink, but I regret that the overall experience was not up to your expectations. We hope to have the opportunity to provide a better experience in the future.

    Very busy Saturday night. Although we had a reservation it was another 15-20 minutes later before we were seated. Waiter was very busy. No wine list presented. Noise level is very high, seated in circular booth made it difficult to hear conversation. The food was delicious, well presented and thoughtful. However service fell off at end of meal and we were not able to order dessert. Price per value too high.

    It was my friend’s birthday and we had a very memorable experience. We sat upstairs where it was a little bit more quiet. Our waitress explained the menu very clearly, and I was able to choose the perfect entrée. I love that each entrée has a unique create ation and presentation.

    Our server was very nice, but not very attentive, and obviously stretched thin, taking care of many tables. Ambience was fine, but very crowded and quite noisy. Food was good, but limited selection and nothing particularly special. Rather expensive for what we ate.
