"Food is really good, atmosphere is excellent and the service is nothing short of amazing. Brian has always taken care of us and the food has always been very good. Have not had any disappointment since coming here. Steaks and prime rib are really well prepared and if in the mood, get the wonton shrimp. This place has become a go to for me and I will be bringing others with me to enjoy the experience as well. If any the area and looks g for a more posh / upscale place to eat you can't go wrong here. Also they make great cocktails as well!"

"Spectacular! We started with an Angel's Envy Rye Old Fasioned and a seasonal cocktail called a Winter Bloom. The Old Fasioned was very good. The presentation of the Winter Bloom was beautifully creative. It was a fun, refreshing cocktail. I had a prime rib end cut with a loaded baked potato. The Au Jus was great. I often find it too salty. This was perfect. My wife had their surf and turf special, which was a bone-in filet topped with lobster and a Buerre Blanc sauce. Both entrees were fantastic. There was absolutely nothing they could have done to make them better. We finished with the graham cracker crusted apple cobbler with a scoop of vanilla ice cream and two cups of freshly brewed coffee. The dessert was as great as the meal. The only thing better than our meal was our server, Rachel. She epitomizes what I expect of a server at an upscale restaurant. She was fun and engaging. She knew the menu inside and out and made great suggestions. If you are visiting, make sure to ask for her section. You will thank me. Congratulations to The Rutledge. Great job all around."

"My husband and I loved this place. Really pretty on the inside and felt upscale, but had a reasonable price point for really good food. The service was excellent. Katie F was fantastic! She was super sweet and gave great recommendations on food and drinks. We had the lobster bites, shrimp banh mi and spicy tuna roll. And they were all delicious. My husband had the Harvest Moon cocktail and I had a glass of Alexana Pinot noir ..both were delightful. After sitting for a while and not feeling rushed, we finished with the chocolate cake. It was so good!! Not too rich just really good! We will be back next time we’re in town."

"Fun spot for a nice date night! The food was great, we got the tuna tartar, kale Cesar salad and tuna tacos. The tartar did need a little salt/pepper for flavoring, but everything overall was yummy. It was slower on a Sunday too so quick and responsive service!"
