    I always enjoy Rusk. This time I had the baby kale salad with salmon and my friend was pleased with the burger. Great drinks, and chocolate flourless for dessert. My husband’s favorites are the Cajun fettuccini and the beef rib dish: both enormous! We will return soon.

    Food - appetizers, salads, and main course all arrived at the same time. Food was excellent, but it would have been nice to receive appetizers first, then salads, then main course. When we arrived, I asked if we could be seated at a booth and was told it would not be possible. The booths were all empty at that time, and all empty when we left. Ambience was nice, and menu has a good variety.

    We loved the atmosphere. Great Manhattan cocktail! Food was good. I had the salmon entree with mashed potatoes and brussel sprouts and friend had the Cajun chicken Alfredo and really liked it. I hope everyone supports this restaurant and we keep it local.

    Savannah was just an outstanding server. We were old friends getting together after many years and she gave us time to linger, enjoy drinks and apps and finally a delicious dinner.

    My friend and I were there for the first time at brunch on Sunday. I made reservations but really didn’t need to. My friend liked her French Toast. It came with fried cubed potatoes, but wanted to trade for fruit- they didn’t have any fruit. Which was odd to me. I had really good Biscuits with gravy and 2 sunny eggs. It was pretty slow and quiet. Service was great. We didn’t explore the bar upstairs.
