| - It was good. The food was delicious and prepared well, and the service was attentive, wine list is comprehensive, and blah blah blah. It had everything it better have at these prices and in this economy. We had read reviews on Yelp and needed a Mothers Day night out. Made reservations three weeks ago with no hassle, even got a reminder call the day of the event. Nice touch. Got there 8 minutes early according to the hostess who also informed us we would have to wait the 8 minutes. Really?? Big shout out to Stephen the bartender who has the perfect bartender personality. When we were brought to our booth, we noticed the restaurant only about 3/4 full and fading fast. Really, we should have been seated -- come on hostesses, improvise a little. Walk-ins were seated right away. Our waiter was top notch. He made appropriate suggestions and was friendly, and the food was brought on time. We ordered the green chile pork cauldron and it was spectacular -just like all the other Yelp reviews say. She got the roast shrimp -way too salty and the shrimp was beyond chewy and rubbery; it was nearly inedible. The accompanying grits were terrific. I had the fillet with a crab and Bearnaise sauce - really good. No, REALLY GOOD. These guys do meat the right way. We also had a side of spinach with red onions. The flavor was strong and the spinach was freshly cooked. We had the choc lava cake with vanilla ice cream and it was good like all other choclavas around town. We had a hard time giving RF distinguishing remarks. It's all pretty darn good, but we are in the age of asking, 'so what?' when something is just pretty darn good. I recommend RF even though the total experience is a bit forgettable.
