We’ve been here frequently without complaint. Disappointed with this experience. Ran out of several things and offered substitutions. Shrimp and grits was a bust. Consistency was very watery. Shrimp were overcooked and drowned in the watery grits. Couldn’t easily cut them and couldn’t dehead or remove the tails without a messy battle. They were chewy and had an unpleasant texture, so most of the dish went uneaten. That’s a first here!! Service was great as usual. Ellen was very pleasant and knew her product.

We got married in a private dining room at Ralph's on the park, and we go there every year on our anniversary. The food and service are always excellent, and we always have a wonderful evening.
