I would skip over the naysayers and try this place out for yourself.
My wife and I had a fantastic experience. We tried both the apple and blistered tomato "toasts" as well as the meatballs for appetizers. All of which were delicious.
For her entree, my wife ordered the roast chicken. The chicken was cooked perfectly and very flavorful. My wife is very picky, and she was delighted.
For my entree, I ordered the Rue 254 steak with a side of the au gratin potatoes. The steak was delicious, and cooked exactly to my order. The peppercorn sauce was a nice touch. The superstar, though would have to be the potatoes! Very unique presentation, and great flavor.
Our server was very friendly, and accommodating. The manager also stopped by our table to check on us.
Despite ordering several appetizers, entrees, and several drinks, our check was still very reasonable. We will surely be returning sooner than later!
