    Delicious food as always! Service was wonderful, ambience was nice. Got seated at a table in the back where it was quiet. Until 2 tables of loud peeps came in. Not anyone’s fault, just got noisy quick!

    We had a lovely experience in the Captains room. We were fortunate to be able to enjoy their “June Special” for a filet and lobster for less than $35. Excellent value and more than enough food to feel satiated. We enjoyed the food and welcoming atmosphere everytime we dine here. Well done to all the staff at Rudy’s Hideaway!

    We had Prime Rib dinners in the Captains Room. Reese was our server and it was an amazing dinner. She always makes it a wonderful evening and the Prime Rib was superb.

    My wife and I went to Rudy's for our 49th anniversary. We enjoyed wonderful margaritas, and then she ordered the big lobster, and I had prime rib and lobster. All the food was excellent, and my one inch thick prime rib was a perfect medium rare. We shared a delicious banana cream pie for dessert. The service was superb, and all in all, a very nice evening. We will definitely be back!

    Went for Father’s Day’s dinner. Seated at a booth close to the left of the entrance. Low ceiling and walls very close to the booths gave a claustrophobic feeling. The waitress was very busy serving more than 4 tables. Took close to 30 min before our bread arrived. Waitress kept refilling the bread basket which we appreciated. Bread was piping hot and good. Soup and main course came out within 2 min of each other. Clam chowder was tasty with big clams. As for the main course, the filet was cooked well as ordered. The Icelandic salmon was surprisingly tasty, moist, and had a crunch on the upper surface. The asparagus that came with the dishes were of very good quality. The lobster ravioli was good but literally drowned in the cream sauce. Can’t see the shrimp or tomato or cheese. Ambiance was good until a family with a toddler showed up at the next booth. The extremely high pitch scream was piercing and very frequent (every 30 seconds). Parents and grandparents not only didn’t stop the scream but encouraged it. Waitress did nothing to help. We would have preferred to not be seated in the booths right along the wall by the entrance next time around. Felt very caged in. Overall we all agreed the salmon was very good. With soup included, the price is not overly high for a special occasion.
