    My wife and I had a truly exceptional experience at RL Restaurant. From the moment we were seated by the front window, the ambiance set the stage for an elegant and cozy evening. The prime seating location allowed us to soak in the atmosphere while enjoying impeccable service. Our server, Terry, was outstanding—attentive, personable, and highly knowledgeable about the menu. Terry ensured that every detail of our meal was perfect, and the support staff worked seamlessly to enhance the experience. Our glasses were never empty, dishes were promptly cleared, and every request was handled with professionalism and warmth. The food itself was phenomenal. We indulged in the Escargot and Crab Cake Benedict, both expertly prepared, and ended on a sweet note with the decadent Brownie À La Mode. The cocktails and wine selections complemented our meal beautifully, rounding out an evening of pure delight. RL Restaurant exemplifies sophistication and first-class service. Whether you're celebrating a special occasion or simply looking for an exquisite meal, this is the place to be. We highly recommend it and look forward to returning soon!

    Our experience was amazing because of our server, Jeff! He was fantastic. If you go for lunch, try the chicken sandwich, turkey burger and an old fashioned. Top notch! Ask to sit in Jeff’s section :)
