    This visit was at an unusual hour 3;45, after theater performance. Turns out it was a nice time to be there. Not as busy & a bit quieter., making conversation easier. As always food was delicious. However we spit mini Lobster rolls and I felt it was too much bread for the amount of Lobster. also share the perch, which we both love. My friend ordered it "crispy", which is her preference. If I order, I prefer it the way it is normally served. C.G.

    The food quality was fantastic, but lacked flavor. It appears this restaurant does not like Salt and Pepper. Huge departure from our NYC experience. That location understands how to season the food.

    I haven’t been to RL in quite a while. It was busy and a little noisy, but not bothersome. The service was excellent. They’re not many vegetarian options as usual, but I was able to put together a meal from the various side dishes and everything was quite delicious. Three or four additional vegetarian entrées would make this a real hit.

    We were there on a tough night, because they were just about to temporarily close for remodeling. There were several menu items that weren’t available. However, we enjoyed our food. The veal and the filet were very good. The spinach side was just okay. The wine was great.

    What a pleasure it is to have an experienced, mature wait staff that knows the menu and is constantly reading the room for what guests may need and when. Several people around us were celebrating special occasions (including us) whose meals were capped by a beautiful message in chocolate on a dessert plate of chocolate brownie with a candle. Every dish we had was special (other than the Veal Milanese, which had a dijon base that I didn't love.). The room is buzzy, cozy, handsome. A special note: the restaurant is closing for two weeks which left them without a couple of dishes on the menu. Guests who couldn't order what they wanted were treated very thoughtfully by the wait staff and management. Deft handling of an awkward situation.
