| - The intriguing RRL was definitely at the top of our list of "must-visit" places. As a group of ladies in town for a bachelorette party, we thought it would be a fun, unique place to get dinner/drinks and a show.
When we arrived we were ushered into the study, their pre-dinner waiting area. First off, the bartender had ZERO personality. I know it's their job to mix drinks, not perform a comedy show, but a damn smile would've been nice. The decor in the study was nice. Classic, very reminiscent of a speakeasy.
When our table was ready we were led into the main restaurant through a live singer. We were all excited, thinking we'd have a view of this during dinner. Boy were we wrong. The room we were in had absolutely no view of the performance and we were one of two tables sat in this room, with about 20 empty tables! There was a small stage where we were but nothing ever happened on it.
As other reviewers have mentioned, the food was quite tasty. We especially enjoyed the flatbread, both the Mediterranean and caviar. However, the portions were a joke. I realize it's a tapas style restaurant but three (rather small) scallops for $18 was a major disappointment and frustration. Our server did manage to garner a few redeeming points for the restaurant, suggesting many options for our group and being very friendly.
Our overall dining experience was a bit of a letdown especially since this place is billed as a "ever evolving experience" and a "modern social club," it was a bit disappointing.
