We love R&R! We've enjoyed several brunches & dinners here and have never left disappointed. The drinks are well made and tasty, and the food is just great. Those beignets.. If you haven't had their brunch you should go asap. Make reservations and sit outside if the weather is good. You will not regret it.

We are absolutely SMITTEN with this cozy little spot! Kamryn took excellent care of us for dinner and the food was amazing but the ambiance of the restaurant was icing on the cake! From the chic historical architecture to the fabulous art throughout the building and the mural in the dining room to the charm of the staff, everything was such a wonderful experience and we can’t wait to come try their brunch!

Great space, but when the peak experience is that they kept the carafe of water full, this is the reason we could get Sunday brunch reservations just 4 days in advance. We arrive early and wait 4 minutes while the staff struggles to choose a table for us...in an empty restaurant where our reservation was 4 days old. They seat us...under the only table beneath a bulb that is flashing. Our server takes drink orders and then food is served over a partition rather than coming around to our table. Indo like that scene in the wizard of Oz with the guard at the gate of Emerald City, but I don't need this at Sunday brunch. Omelet was overdone, biscuits served with room temperature gravy, and the server came by zero times after the food was delivered. Prices did not match the quality. Lovely space, I would not want a dreadful experience like this if they were hosting my wedding or rehearsal dinner. I'm pretty sure the management needs to rework a lot of processes to make it a place worth going back to. Other places in town did not have these defects on our trip.

Great Atmosphere, service has lots of room for improvement. Food was amazing but after the wait the thrill was gone ????. Our bar tender did explain after the wait the kitchen staff was short and that was the reason for the delay. Knowing that helped but would have been better knowing up front so the delay could have been anticipated.

2/4/23- The Executive Chef and Owner was out fraternizing with patrons while the kitchen was very behind. It took 30 minutes to get 2 glasses of wine, an hour to get 2 starters and an hour and forty five minutes to get out entree’s.
I do not recommend!
The starters- Tuna Tatar was a bit boring and the avocado was brown. The Brussel sprouts salad had good flavors but there were so many elements that were too wilted or overcooked.
My husband ordered the rabbit and the pasta came out uncooked. So uncooked it cracked when pressed on. I did not even try my veal dish. If a restaurant cannot cook pasta then I won’t trust them with meat. The risotto that came with my dish was over cooked and looked like mash instead of risotto. The entrees were very oily.
The service staff were good but seemed unsure of how to operate in a red where the Executive Chef/ Owner does not care about the quality of food, service and overall reputation of the restaurant

They have valet service if needed. The vibe is really cool, and the building is absolutely lovely. Environment overall was excellent. I love that they sell artwork there. Traci, our hostess was exceptionally wonderful! She gave us a history of the place and interesting details on the chef’s background. Karmen, our server, was incredibly sweet, attentive, and professional. The food was exquisite! We were there for brunch on a Saturday as I was traveling south. I do plan to return one evening for dinner as well! I would recommend this hidden gem to others.

The location is beautiful. Sadly myself and the group of women who attended were badgered by a homeless man for money on our walk across the street into the restaurant. We did make a reservation the day prior, so when we arrived we were sat immediately. Once we were seated our server came with a bottle of water, but only filled 4 of our 6 glasses leaving 2 of my companions parched as we waited 20 minutes for her to return with more water. It took us 25 minutes after that to receive our drinks we ordered. Then it took an additional hour and a half for her to take our food order. Honestly the food did not live up to the hype, and does not match the price given to the items. The longer we got there the worse the service got. We were there for 2 and a half ours by the time our food got there, and it was all room temperature by the time it reached the table. When we asked for missing straws or additional juices and such we were met with rolled eyes & the food runner straight up just ignored us in the middle of asking for something, just walking away. Towards the end, we were giving speeches to the birthday girl & giving toasts. One of the workers came outside in the middle of my speech talking on her phone. When I made a comment about it being rude that she would sit right next to me in the middle of this emotional speech, with tears running down my face, she looks at me and literally begins to speak louder. I asked her to turn the music down a tad, as I was asked in the beginning if it was okay and to let them know if we wanted it up higher or down lower at any point. She quite literally ignored me, looked back and then walked straight back inside. Once our server returned, which was on occasion(maybe came out times the whole 4 hours we were there) I then asked her to turn it down. As she did she looks at me so snarky and condescendingly asked if I was satisfied with the sound level. At the end the server was not happy about splitting our checks so each person could pay for their own meal. She made a huge deal & said she only would separate it 6 ways. After we asked her multiple times, she finally separated each persons bill out so they would only pay for their own food. Overall the experience was not great. We made the best of it, but I will not be returning in the future.

Went on a best friend brunch date and it was all we needed. Good food, good atmosphere, and good drinks. Very picturesque.
