    Excellent first experience overall here! Ryan, a manager, saw my note in the system about my extensive food allergies and he came over as soon as we were seated to check in. Our waiter was so accommodating, attentive, professional! The food was fresh, flavorful and the atmosphere so inviting! We were so grateful for our first experience and will be back!

    Drinks were really great but our service was not. Had to wait ~20 mins for our second round of drinks and when they came out they were all separate. Two came out then we waited another 5 mins for three more then we had to ask again for the other one we were missing. Food was okay. I got the strawberry salad and was not very impressed with it. The truffle fries were good and very warm when they came out! Not sure I would go out of my way to go here again.

    Thank you for choosing the Rail Stop Restaurant & Bar for your recent outing, and for sharing your feedback. While it's great to know that our delicious cocktails pleased you, we regret that our service was not reflective of our usual excellence. Your comments will be used to see where retraining is needed. We hope you'll give us a second chance to make a better impression.

    I’ve never had a bad experience at Rail Stop. The salmon tartare is a favorite and the salmon entree with lobster sauce.

    We had dinner here before a show. We came from Maine and would come up again just for dinner here. The food was outstanding, and the service was even better. Our server was attentive, super polite and friendly. You know it’s going to be a good meal when you order and the server says how good it is. We will for sure be back.
