We have been to RT’s on many occasions. However, the last was a big disappointment. The server (main one) only came to our table when we ordered and about 30min after our entree arrived. We couldn’t flag anyone down to tell them our food arrived cold. They replaced it with burnt food and the side dish after about 30 more minutes…the main dish was already finished. When we come we always have drinks, app’s and main dishes. The portion for the red fish was approx 3/4” wide and 4 inches long. It was much less than the last visit, less than a month ago. Previously, we had impeccable service and food. Most likely we won’t come back as the food value has diminished, as has the service…and cold food shouldn’t be a consideration at that price.

One of the best dining experiences we've had in a long time. The food was excellent, the server was knowledgeable and attentive, and we paid a fair price for the fare. The Jack Daniels shrimp was outstanding, the oysters Rockefeller were cooked perfectly, and the crab cakes were loaded with sweet tasty crab.

We had the oyster combo as an appetizer, my wife had the blackened redfish special, and I had the gumbo…all 100% delish! We visited RT based on the high ratings, and they did not disappoint! Will definitely dine here again when we’re in the area!

This was my first time visiting by word of mouth. A friend of twenty years has spoken very highly of the food and service here. So I decided to invite my sisters out for brunch. Three of my sisters are seafood lovers. So I was hoping this would be a win. And it was! Service was pleasant, professional and quick. Not rushed. The drinks were on point (shout out Raspberry Martini) and the food was magnificent. FRESH! That’s the word for the day! The food was FRESH, perfectly seasoned, perfectly portioned! We will be back for lunch, brunch and dinner! THANK YOU RT’s for giving me and my sisters a new spot to eat drink and be merry 😊

As always, the food at RT's is wonderful from the fried oyster appetizer to the delicious main dishes to the to-die-for pies! The service was also terrific with the waiter providing just the right amount of attention without seeming to hurry us along. It's not inexpensive but it's worth it for a special meal.

I’m a New Orleanian and this is the most authentic Louisiana cuisine I’ve had north of Atlanta! I’m so happy to have found this delicious little gem! I had the redfish with lump crabmeat, my husband had shrimp and grits, and my daughter had crawfish etouffe. Everything was great and we will definitely be back here again and again.

4/16/22. Excellent food as always. Over a 9 year period been there at least as many times. No disappointments. Everyone works very hard to make it good: first person to greet, waiter staff, clearing used dishes, and of course the meal itself, right down to desserts. Go! You will not be disappointed.
