    Lobster bisque was good although heavy on the sherry. My chicken entree was dry, with extremely bland presentation. Spouse's sushi was okay. Second and last time there.

    Lovely ambiance but eggs were cold, bacon not crisp as requested. Potatoes were best dish we had. Rather disappointing for meal that cost over $90 (one drink each, taxes and tip).

    Not horrible but not very impressive either. Food just so so. Chairs stained. Very mediocre for what used to be an upscale restaurant.

    The food and service were what you'd expect from a restaurant with such an elegant ambiance. Although there was a slight mix-up in our order, Gabriel apologized and corrected the issue quickly. We thoroughly enjoyed our dining experience and will definitely be back.

    Came here for a pre- Mother’s Day dinner with my mother. It was her first time visiting The Rutledge and she thoroughly enjoyed her experience! Music was a vibe! Service was superb and our order came out quick for it to be a busy holiday weekend! Will be returning (again) sooner than later!

    Main dishes were tasty but borderline over priced for meal. $10 “side dish” of broccoli literally had 2 small pieces of broccoli. “Happy hour” wine pour$12 for a 4-5 oz pour. The whole issue here is value for cost, in our opinion one can find better values elsewhere.

    Very please with the place, the food was great, though the asparagus side was a little skimpy, the steak was perfect and as ordered, the drinks were great, staff was great, I think the drinks took a little longer than they should have, but were good. We didn't feel rushed, the person attending to us was friendly. We were there for our anniversary, the staff took the time to make a card and they all signed it to us. Nice place. Very comfortable and the layout was cool.

    We had Gabriel as our server. He started out super nice however as the night went on it went downhill. We ordered starters and drinks they came out very quickly. Gabriel came back to take our order, we asked him about a few items he gave us his opinion and we placed our order. about an hour and 15 minutes goes by and no food. We flagged down another server asked if she could find our server because we have been waiting a very long time. The server sent the manager, when she spoke with Gabriel he said he did not have an order for us, we were shocked! He never returned to our table to apologize. The manager was amazing comped our food and desserts. So needless to say, if you have Gabriel as a server you may be there awhile. Huge props to the manager for apologizing and making things right! To Gabriel, do better and atleast apologize for the mistake you made!

    I always ask the waitress what they recommend or what people order the most. Every dish our waitress recommended was the most expensive in each category. Trying to up her tip?? My friend who ordered the Lobster Roll said it was overpriced and not as good as it had been in the past. $26.00 for Tuscan Shrimp Pasta and it came with 4 shrimps. There's so many other great independently owned restaurants in the Cool Springs area, not sure I'll be returning to Rutledge any time soon.

    A good option if you're tired of the usual Franklin restaurant fare. A simple, not overwhelming menu that hits the right marks. Everything is fresh and presented well. The skillet cornbread is so rich and decadent, it's practically a dessert. The house red wine tasted a lot like a merlot to me.

    Maybe it was the time we went, 630 PM on a work day - but this was like a restaurant attached to an extremely noisy bar. And catering to the after wok crowd food service was extremely rushed. A 45 minute dinner was no what we had in mind.

    Our server was very attentive and pleasant. Food wasn't bad, it just wasn't great. The presentation was upscale but the food flavor was just mediocre. We had the cesaer salad, lobster mac and cheese and the mahi mahi. Again, not terrible, but just very basic. Nothing that would justify the prices.

    My husband enjoyed his meal (meatball). The shrimp in the pesto pasta dish was very over cooked. The dish was topped with an inordinate amount of olive oil. I added salt and the fresh Parmesan I was provided and did find it improved.
