I was very disappointed in both the dining room and the service. Also, the prices were much higher than expected for a restaurant of this style.
The evening began very bad when the hostess seated us right under a a/c vent. Very uncomfortable. We were moved to a different table. Shortly after, the same hostess tried to seat three more couples at this table and all asked to be moved.
The main dining area is in a low hard ceiling area and lost of windows which results in very high noise! The room needs major acoustic treatment to be acceptable.
This place started as a Miller's many years ago, then changed owners (forgot name) and my wife and I ate there several times and always had a good experience.
Later, it became Winking Lizard which was always noisy - but expected that in any Lizard place.
When Rue 254 opened, we expected more like Miller's and the follow-on place, but actually was more like Lizard - a noisy sports bar. With way overpriced food.
Contrastingly, on our way out, we walked through the bar and lower level which was much quieter.
So ... if Rue 254 changes its prices and quiets down the upper level, I may go back. But probably not. There are many other nicer places around.
