    The food was delicious, wait staff was courteous and efficient. We really enjoyed the ambiance, the food, great cocktails. Otis Cochran was playing in the background, such a lovely evening.

    Food was fabulous and our server was outstanding. Band was a little loud but not hard to fix. Great music, though!

    We had a very enjoyable dinner celebrating my husband’s birthday. The food was delicious and the music was enjoyable. The only reason that I didn’t mark everything perfect was that I had ordered a ginger ale with my dinner but never received it. I didn’t notice until I looked at my receipt at home but I was charged for it. I know that our server was busy but it would have been nice to have it.

    A so-so experience at a high price. The ribeye was full of gristle. Both the ribeye and sirloin were overcooked (they were supposed to be medium rare but were medium well). Our server was nice but not attentive. Not worth the price we paid.

    We went to Rhapsody on jazz night so we could enjoy live music during dinner. The overall experience was great! Good service from the front desk until we left. Never a moment when we did not think we were being carefully cared for by the server. The food was very good. I had lamb shank. Delicious! My wife had the pasta primavera ... lots of very fresh vegetables. Wines were a good pour, and there was a good selection of both beer & wine. I was visiting the area. If I were to return I would include Rhapsody as part of my travel plan.

    Food was phenomenal. Service was very good as well. Ambiance was perfect and low noise until the 2-man band started playing. The music didn't fit the atmosphere. Other than that, it was a very good experience. Spinach artichoke dip was the best we have ever had. We ordered the Blackened Snapper and the Lamb Shank, which was excellent. And the Creme Brule did not disappoint at all. Overall 10/10.
