Outstanding dining experience!!! Wonderful food. Highly recommend perfectly medium rare burger (add lettuce, tomato, onion), shrimp and grits, perfectly medium rare eggs houssard, all desserts and Bloody Mary. Perhaps the best of all was the graceful, gracious, and just perfectly “there” Nicole K, who attended to our table and its guests. She enormously enhanced our superior destination dining experience. Best of all, Ralph’s is consistently this wonderful.

I was very impressed with Ralph’s. My wife and I celebrated our anniversary here and absolutely loved our experience. Emily was our waitress and she is lovely! She was so sweet and took great care of us! She brought us champagne to toast at the end of our meal! The truffle fries are so good. For dessert, get the limoncello sorbet if they have it and the chocolate tart (if you like a sweet heat) trust me, it’s worth it! We will be back!!!!

We love the food, but we were very disappointed that when we ordered an Irish coffee, they did not have whip cream to go in Irish coffee. Sounds like a small thing but when you have a fabulous desert, we always want to have Irish coffee with their fabulous desserts.

This is my mother first time eating at the restaurant. She really enjoyed the Mother’s Day brunch and the customer service was outstanding by Rebecca. The previous year, she went to Antoine’s . This has been her best meal of quality for Mother’s Day. She would like me to bring her back on her birthday.

We had never been to ROTP for Mother’s Day. The service was slow and the food was not up to the usual standard. The wait staff was lovely but the wait for our food was excruciating, especially since we had a 5 year old and a baby with us.

This is our honest opinion since they asked for it. Everything in the main course was tasty as we expected. Atmosphere and service great. Appetizer fries were the best unexpected treat. Turtle soup was bit of a let down. Served a small portion (less than a cup) and could not find any meat. It had a good taste, but a stretch to refer to it as their speciality. Salads were a small portion mostly lettuce. We enjoyed our visit overall.

Always have great meals here. Unfortunately, last night I received expired trout. To their credit, they sent me the redfish and charged me the trout value. Still, the redfish was just ok. We sat in the bar area so it was very energetic, as to be expected. Service was perfect.

The food was excellent. Best turtle soup I have ever tasted. The service was great as usual. One suggestion: This is an upscale establishment. Some sort of dress code should be enforced. At Sunday brunch many people ( men & women) of all ages were dressed in shorts. Some had on flip flops, This is unacceptable.

My friend and I went to eat before prom and even though it was busy because a lot of other people were going to prom, the waitress was still patient and made sure everything was ok. The food also wasn’t too slow to come out and was really yummy, and the hostess offered to take our picture as we were leaving.
