    RL is always a wonderful choice. I had the special Halibut which was delicious. My fella had a burger and was a little disappointed that it wasn’t cooked as well-done as he liked. But our lovely server made it all better with an extra cocktail. RL is a gem

    We got lucky with a table outside n a nice night. Indoor is small, loud and pretentious. Use to go here regularly. After tonight moving on. Too many other options with better food and ambiance.
