    Rough Rider delivered on all levels. Service, atmosphere, food and drinks were all on point. Our party enjoyed the Baked Crab dip to start. Then we proceeded with the Pork Chop, Ribeye and Roasted Chicken. Our table could not help sharing with each other as everything was so good. For drinks we had a few and the balance they have developed really set them apart from other restaurants we have frequented recently. The True American, Game Theory, Summer of George and Happy Birthday Mr President all shined through. This was a relatively last minute find for us and one that did not less us down and gave us a memorable evening together to celebrate. We will definitely be returning

    Exceptional experience and service at Rough Rider. My husband and I enjoyed the seafood tower, Caesar salad, beef carpaccio, and a couple of cocktails. Everything exceeded our expectations. We would definitely return!

    The place was great, ambience was amazing, and our waitress was even better. She was knowledgeable, and was seriously the best. She recommended personalized drinks and made us feel welcome! The drinks were off the charts, the sides and appetizers were all great. My steak was ok. I had a ribeye that was undercooked and about a quarter of it was inedible. For a place like this, the only knock I wouldn’t want to have is the main course. Apart from that I loved the place, I’d try it again to have another experience.
