            Had rese for 1730 and my guests were running behind so drink at bar. Very good. Hostess very warm and professional. Table good position. Server, she has waited on me prior, very good! Nigiri was awesome! Wine was as well. Was hungry so ordered the meatloaf and was just ok. Two slices over potatoes so portion was good but was not hot just warm. My guests enjoyed their pastas and salmon so that was most important.

            The food was absolutely amazing, as was the ambiance. Patrick, our waiter, was pleasant and informative and was able to suggest some amazing cocktails. I suggest stopping by and trying one of their signature dishes.

            Food was delicious and the service was great - let us talk and eat but was attentive. A bit noise with the bar so prominent.

            Overall, the food was good quality but nothing really spectacular or above average to warrant the price is charged. We had the ribeye steak, which, although it was a very good quality cut of meat was bland in flavor. We also had the scallops which could have used a little more time cooking. Brussel sprouts were mushy as opposed to crispy. Salads were good.  Drinks we also good.

            The staff was friendly, but service was a bit slow—we had to ask for menus and appetizer plates to be cleared. Most of the food was pretty good, though my son’s burger was overcooked. My wife’s champagne was served warm, and I ordered a martini instead of wine since they don’t store their red wine chilled. Unfortunately, the martini—ordered dirty and bruised—came out slushy and not dirty at all. We were hoping for a better experience, but it just wasn’t there. Probably won’t be going back.

            The menu looked great, but the live music was WAY too loud and not that good. We had to leave after the appetizer to go somewhere where we could actually carry on a conversation.

            I had a lunch meeting with 5 others at the Rutledge. I couldn’t have found a better place to get together. The service, food , ambiance were perfect. We particularly enjoyed being able to hear each other talk. I definitely recommend te Rutledge as a wonderful place to gather!
