Went to Rudy's for our Anniversary. Great atmosphere and decor, soft music in the background, staff were very friendly, and food was cooked to perfection. Higher end steakhouse and prices were not too bad, food alone was right at $100.

We went there for my Birthday dinner and had the best service by all the staff. Got seated almost right away at the time of our reservation. Meighan was our server and was on top of making my day very special. Everyone was so wonderful and all the food was a 10/10! Thank you and will definitely be back again!

The best steak I've ever had! I tried to take pics of the mushroom appetizer but it was gone before I had the chance. We devoured everything in the blink of an eye. The food is incredible as well as the service. The best restaurant in town.

It's perfect for a special occasion or a romantic date. The filet mignon was cooked just right and the crab cakes were some of the best I've ever had. The drinks were superb.

I have eaten in the evening several times thoroughly enjoying the Salmon Neptune each time adding the oysters on the half shell. Normally I love to catch the Happy Hour. Excellent foods at good prices especially since evening prices are very pricey. Although I have tasted the steamed clams twice, both times they offered a bland broth and rather tasteless. Last time, I bit into something hard that was heard around the table. I got the first clam and others questioned what it was that made such a pronounced jawbreaker sound. Today I took another friend in. What changes! The city added a pay kiosk in the parking garage so now you have to pay parking. Additionally, I love the fish & chips. However, they’ve upped the price about $5.00 now they are $18 and instead of the lovely filets, now they look like fish sticks instead. Talk about “shrink-flation” to an obscene degree. I love the jumbo shrimp cocktail. Service is great. But the new pricing on food and cocktails has changed my view & my frequenting this place. I’m sure that I’m not the only one who has noticed and adjusted their Happy Hour Haunts.

I couldn't wait to dig in and forgot I needed to take a picture of the food 😆 The Brussel sprouts were amazing, so much flavor - bacon, caramelized onion, and goat cheese - so savory! I found the salmon to be slightly fishy, while some folks would say, "Well, duh, it's fish." Fresh fish does not taste fishy. Also, I expected more from the mash potatoes. They didn't stand on their own without gravy, and there was no gravy. We got the blue berry bread pudding for dessert, which was fabulous!

We had a 4:30 dinner reservation. We arrived early so we decided to have a quick happy hour. The drinks for happy hour and menu items for happy hour were reasonably priced. The mood in the bar was nice, lighting was great. Dinner seating was prompt right after happy hour. Our food was excellent and so well prepared. We each had a delicious Cesar salad with just the right amount of cheese. The dressing was amazing! My boyfriend had a perfectly cooked medium rare serloin with mashed potatoes, asparagus and two butterflied shrimp. The roasted red pepper sauce was delicate, but flavorful. I had the seafood fettuccine. All the seafood was exceptional! The service was amazing, all the staff members were helpful and cheery. It was our birthday and our anniversary and they made our day special for us. We got to take a complimentary Marionberry Cobbler home to share as well. Loved every part of the evening!
