   Autumn our server was fantastic! She knew how every item was prepared which was terrific. Only downside was the wine list which was incomplete due to availability and changes being made.

   Need to pick up their game in customer service and hospitality for the price. I frequently eat at higher-end restaurants in downtown Nashville and tried Rutledge on a whim. The hostess station was unwelcoming and rude and the waiter while ok, wasn't worth the tip. Overall hospitality and service needs some serious work to justify the price. The food was good though.

   We had reservations. We were sat immediately. Our server was friendly and attentive but not pushy. The food was prepared as ordered and was delicious. We were offered drinks “to go” which we accepted. It was hard to believe the restaurant was a Buffalo Rings & Wings. We will definitely return sometime in the future.

   The food was average at best. I wouldn’t spend $14 on a watermelon margarita with watermelon syrup… $6 on cold brussel sprouts or any money on corn with honey drizzled on top. The wonton shrimp were the best thing of the night and even that wasn’t anything out of this world. Overall pretty bummed

    Had a great brunch/lunch. I took away one star from overall because I didn’t like that I had to use a credit card to book my reservation. It almost made me choose another restaurant and makes me hesitant to book anything in the future. It would be understandable for a larger party but this was for a party of three (me, a girl friend, and my 3 year old daughter). The restaurant was also not busy while we were there. I’m a mother of three small children. If something did happen to come up due to my kids, it would upset me very much to be charged a fee for having to cancel. It ultimately soured my experience even though it was a good one. Hope you’ll reconsider this policy.

    We were seated at the worst table in an otherwise empty restaurant for an early reservation, so that was disappointing. Server was very pleasant and attentive, and the food was good. We have become somewhat of regular patrons so the table assignment was off putting. Likely be back though.

    We have always loved The Rudledge. It almost feels like a Franklin hidden gem but, the seating, glasses and decor are so modern. The menu is expansive so everyone can find something. Their sushi is outstanding. Their meatball is the best in town with the most delicious pesto… Two different sized lobster sandwiches and the most delicious lobster bisque. The soinach and artichoke dip is fantastic. Their wine list is curated so it fits with all dishes. We’re slowly working our way through their menu. We love it!

    I keep trying, but the Rutledge just disappoints. The servers are good, but the hostess was not very friendly. The table wasn't clean and the bathrooms were overflowing (sink was clogged and trash overflowed). The food choices are decent, but the food itself is average. It's not worth the price.

    Took my mom for Mother’s Day and we both ordered lemon drops. They were really good! Each of us ordered a salad and were so pleased. I had the Thai filet and noodle salad and my mother had the shrimp and avocado salad. I absolutely loved my meal and can’t wait to return and order the same salad! We had reservations and were immediately seated. Service was great.

    Katie was a phenomenal server! She made the experience wonderful. We had questions and she went into detail to meet our needs. We were celebrating the end of my daughters sophomore college semester. She suggested drinks and and made certain she was taken care of on the non-alcoholic choice. Lobster rolls were the star of the table but the salmon, corn and brussels delivered as well. We will definitely come again!

Loved the creative presentation of the Caprese salad. The charcuterie board is fantastic as well! We are fortunate to have this neighborhood gem.

    We felt underdressed due to the atmosphere! Next time we’ll dress up! Great service. On our last visit, the manager went to Einstein Bagel because my daughter wanted chocolate milk. Also, the food was great. We’ll definitely visit again. Highly recommended!

    Had a nice meal with a wonderful waitress. Very noisy but when we asked for al booth instead the noise level dropped significantly. We did feel rushed. The entree was delivered way to fast. Recommend you wait to order it until after you have your appetizer or salad course. We had a lovely evening, just was too fast.
