   My husband and I had an amazing experience tonight at Rue 561! Staff was polite, discreet, and friendly, with some well respected personality! Food presentation was OFF THE CHART, and the intimacy and cozy feel, just all added to a wonderful dining experience! Excellent job! We will be back! The Nathanson’s!

   My visit was just ok :/ For the food prices they offer there is no alcohol and proposition from the bartender: “you can bring your own alcohol, near by is liquor store where you can buy it” is unexpected in my opinion for the “classy” restaurant/bistro

   Hi Arek, thank you for your excellent rating (5 and 4 star) related to your food and service. Sorry you were surprised that we are a BYOB, and which is advertised on our Website. Since we are not authorized to serve alcohol our staff responded appropriately we are a "bring your own" establishment (BYOB) and often customers are directed to a nearby liquor store when they were unaware when booking. Food prices are never reflective of alcohol served at a restaurant - it should be the quality of food offered and customarily a restaurant that offers alcohol can make more adjustments to food prices b/c they are able to make it up in alcohol sales.....

   The server was great. Disappointed that there was no bucatini, which is why I went there the last two times. I looked online and it must have been an old menu, because it said that it was on the menu.

   Hi Roann, thank you for taking the time to write your favorable review. I am so sorry that the menu you reviewed on line did not reflect the most current menu. we do change from time to time but if we receive your request in advance we may be able to accommodate you in the future. We are sorry that your did not get the Bucatini. We will note this request. The most up do date menu should be posted on your website which should also reflect any weekly specials.

   Our server Chris was great. Food came out at the right pace . The dishes had great presentation and delicious as well. There are no restaurants in the area that serve these types of quality dishes with wonderful presentation. Don’t miss this place. Extra bonus, BYOB!

   Living 30 minutes north of TR in an area full of great restaurants, we were hesitant to give it a try. All I can say is it was well worth the trip! Everything was spectacular; charming ambiance, excellent waiter and service, gracious owner, BYOB (always a nice bonus) and most importantly fantastic food! We started with Caesar salad which was delicious. For dinner we shared the bone-in rib eye which was cooked to perfection, the truffle gnocchi special, onion rings and yucca fries, all were absolutely scrumptious! For dessert, we enjoyed a beautifully layered cappuccino along with the most outstanding churros we’ve ever tasted! We highly recommend this hidden gem and can’t wait to return!

    Third time at this restaurant and it didn't disappoint. The food and service are always impecable with fresh ingredients and great flavors. The owner greets us at the table and engaged in a pleasant conversation. Very reasonable priced for the quality, added by the fact that it is BYOB. Highly recommended.
