It was our second time and we thoroughly enjoyed our Xmas eve casual dinner. 3 of us all shared 4 sushi rolls , spinach dip, champagne, and dessert! Everything was delicious. The girls at the front desk weren’t very welcoming when we arrived, but our waitress was so sweet and attentive, making our experience extra special! I will ask for her next time we go! I think her name was Tanya? She was fabulous!! Thank you Evie!

Our Christmas Eve dinner was perfect. The food was A+, the ambiance was festive (great playlist!) and our service was impeccable. Anna our server was the perfect combination of engaging and giving us our privacy. She very much made our night more memorable with her kindness, humor and relatability. The steaks were fabulous! We have been to Joe’s, Fioretta, and Bavette’s recently. This was our first time at RPM Streak and I would say that they are the superior choice.
