    Great food! Many of the bottomless cocktails are premixed so you can’t control how much champagne is used. They are light on the booze.

    The cocktails were great. We had the Railcar Smash and Pineapple Mule. The crab/shrimp bisque was also excellent. My wife ordered Halibut which has good flavor but was fried and thinly thinly cut which resulted in it being dry. Sauce under the halibut was split. I ordered the duck and chorizo cassoulet. There was a large portion of meat. The bourbon cranberry jam was very good. The duck was slightly gamey which was different, but the dish was good. Server was attentive and refilled our waters often.

    We had a wonderful lunch today at Railcar. I ordered the French Onion Soup, and it may be the best I've ever had! My friend got the soup and the French Dip, and she loved both. The portions are generous, and the service was exceptional!

    Service for our food was great but service at the bar was pretty terrible - stood there for 20 minutes before someone even acknowledged us. I realize it was New Year’s Eve, and they were very busy, but it appeared that they were understaffed at the bar, which is not the bartender’s fault. However, some friendliness and acknowledgment would’ve been appreciated. We received neither.

    First of all, Open Table really saved the day for last minute NYE plans. We made our reservations and were seated in less than 10 minutes. The Rail Car is such a great experience. It feels like a special occasion without being fussy. An excellent menu of food and drinks which manages to include unique tastes and an offering for everyone. Our server was busy but efficient and attentive. I witnessed great team work of fellow wait staff running food for each other to keep the evening and experience flowing for everyone. On such a busy night to have your order as specified, hot and in such a brief wait was amazing. Highly recommend both Open Table and The Rail Car.
