"This was such a memorable dinner for my husband and I! We had the filet mignon with the gargonzola sauce and mushrooms. Best I have ever tasted! The service was absolutely amazing! Our server was very friendly, attentive, but didn't bother us a lot. The atmosphere is so unique! So much to look at and conversation pieces! We will definitely be back when we visit the area and will long for their food until then!"

"Overall it was a nice experience. Service was excellent, although I'd say bar and grill feel, not fine dining. Only a few vegetarian options. The food was good, but a bit all over the place. The portobello mushroom dish came with cold salad on the same plate overloaded with hot veggies. It was a soggy mess. The cheese board was very basic. Dessert was good. Not really a fan of the decor and carpet on the tables. Would be good if there was a consistent theme all round."

"Yum. We started with the mushroom appetizer and the roasted garlic. Both were served with an inviting presentation. The roasted garlic was more notable, tender, rich, and fun to eat. The mushroom dish was tasty... and something came with a particularly yummy dipping sauce... but I can't remember what it was, lol. The appetizers were followed by the charcuterie board, which was a real treat...a highlight. They made the board gluten-free for me, giving it an extra touch of special. It felt a little like Christmas morning, tasting across the board with curiosity and delight at each unique flavor. There were dried figs, two soft cheeses, a pate, sliced apples, dressed cucumbers, and more... and I am not doing it justice with my description. It really was delightful. I ordered the lamb chops for my entree. Be prepared for orafactory heaven. They melt into the most delectable savory sweetness in your mouth. Hubbie had the brisket and rib combo. Both were tender and flavorful. We ended with dessert. Mine was the creme Carmel, which could only have been better if they had lit it at the table. It was creamy, with the light crispy cap, sweet enough to savor every bite but not so sweet that I couldn't finish it. The only con of our dinner was our server, who seemed rushed, practically running away as he finished speaking. More than once, I wasn't able to speak or ask him a question because he ran off. The atmosphere was cozy with wood and warm colors. That said, it was a bit chilly...I never took my coat off. A plus about our servers' lack of attention was that we didn't have a sense of being rushed. We took our time with our meal and were able to relax and enjoy our experience at our pace."

"All was very good, but as some past comments I noted made the point of cost to value. My meal was the spicy Brisket and Ribs dish. While it was tasty, I can’t say the price justified the flavor. I did enjoy the flavor of the BBQ sauce. The twice-baked potato was tasty too. I really do enjoy the atmosphere of Larrupin. The location and this place on a rainy evening made it awesome too. I still recommend Larrupin."

"Amazing food and friendly service, the atmosphere is cozy and inviting. Bring your loved one here for a fantastic treat. 5 star restaurant."
