    They are master grillers. The fish and chicken was exceedingly moist and delicious. Kudos to the kitchen. The value is excellent-the quality surpasses more expensive restaurants. Finally Levantine cooking at its finest. Yes yes we really liked the food. Park directly next door in the underground parking. Run don’t walk.

    We brought a close friend who was visiting from out of town to RPM for dinner and she loved the food, the service and the ambiance. We knew we could count on the great service and excellent food and it did not disappoint. Our server India was fantastic and made sure that our orders were timed perfectly and just as we asked. Highly recommend.

    Very creative and delicious food and drinks. Had the Guava margaritas. One virgin and one regular. They were both good and found that the taste became better once paired with the crab guacamole. I also had another mango margarita that was sweeter and more to my liking. The crab guacamole was our favorite of the three dishes we had. The short rib tacos were beautifully presented and delicious. Nice spices. The wagu empanadas were tasty but not as good as the other two for us. The staff is great and very friendly.
