I haven’t been to RL in quite a while. It was busy and a little noisy, but not bothersome. The service was excellent. They’re not many vegetarian options as usual, but I was able to put together a meal from the various side dishes and everything was quite delicious. Three or four additional vegetarian entrées would make this a real hit.

Food was great, and a very enjoyable environment. You definitely pay for the experience (including over $40 for parking), but every once and a while its worth the splurge.
