Very nice diversity on the menu; we all had a hard time choosing between several options. Food was prepared very well, especially the scallops (nearly perfect). It was a bit of a wait for our food, but the place was packed as usual, so I’ll cut the kitchen some slack on that, especially since our food was spot on when it arrived. Because the place was full, it was very loud when we first arrived. As tables began to turn, volume started to moderate and all was good.

It was a lovely, quiet Monday night at the RWG—excellent service & food for a chilly winter night—the glowing fire pit outside, viewed from the table side window, lent warmth to the inside atmosphere. Great evening with friends,
