The atmosphere was nice, service was great. But the food was very disappointing. We both ordered the Stuffed Filet of Lemon Sole special. It was a tightly rolled, very dry piece of fish served over dry lentils. The crabmeat stuffing was barely discernible My husband mentioned to our waitress that the fish was very dry. She was apologetic, offered to bring us something else and said she would tell the chef. When our bill came she comped us our drinks

The place is in dire needs of a major overhaul. The food has gone downhill considerably. Service was nonexistent. We would probably give it zero stars so that’s all I need to say about the place we will not go back and I suggest nobody else girl

Sat upstairs on a Tuesday evening. Very nostalgic for us as we ate there a number of times early in our marriage now in its 45th year. Filet Mignon and Sea Bass entrées were great. Asparagus was large but cooked to perfection. Waiter and bus service was wonderful. Thanks Caesar. Might consider including some steak sauce and or horseradish with the filet. The Shrimp and Lump Crab cocktail did not have enough Sauce to dip the shrimp in. For $21 a pop, should not be stingy. Will go again one of these days.

Reminded me of an old country club. The decor was old fashioned, with paintings of horses everywhere. When we arrived, our waiter greeted us right away and filled our glasses with water. We ordered the caprese salad as an appetizer, which was fresh and delicious. We also placed our food orders, which took 40 minutes to arrive. Our waiter apologized for the delay, and offered a free drink to compensate, but we declined. Once the food did arrive (filet mignon for my partner and crab cakes for me), the food was good. Just good, not outstanding. There was a LOT of food. The crab cakes were humungous, and I've never received such a big cut of filet in any restaurant before. Overall, though, the caprese salad was the star of the meal. Would I return? If someone had an event here, yes. Would I recommend anyone? Probably not.

Phenomenal food and atmosphere! What a unique and special dining experience. Service slowed quite a bit as it got busier during dinnertime, but that is certainly to be expected in such a popular place. Such a beautiful setup inside. You won’t be disappointed in the food - it is definitely a deliciously memorable meal! Would go back immediately!

This is about our 5th time back, for our 25th wedding anniversary. The food, ambiance, and service as always was outstanding. We were seated promptly, service was impeccable, and our filet mignons were cooked perfectly. The crab cakes as a main course is also a great choice. A bit on the pricey side, but you get what you pay for, a very pleasant evening.

Definitely will come back for the food and environment. The only thing was that the cocktails were mediocre.

We had a lovely dinner at Rod’s. We were checking out the restaurant for my son’s upcoming wedding, wedding rehearsal dinner, and wedding reception. AND we celebrated our 32nd wedding anniversary. We were very happy with everything. Terrific dinner. Very good space for the rehearsal dinner and arboretum is gorgeous. Trifecta! Great traditional steakhouse and fun bar options.

The place is aesthetically magnificent and unbeatable. It makes me warm, actually. But the food and the service don’t match the ambience. Entrees were dropped while we were still eating soup. You’d just expect that at Applebees. I asked menu recommendations - I got a cute answer but not a helpful one. Essentially “I don’t eat this type of food”. Ok? This is not my first time there. It won’t be my last. I hope they can step up their game a little and maybe get some Better procedures in place and train their staff.
