    Another great evening at RL! We brought some out of town guests, and they loved the restaurant as much as we do. The sea bass and the scallops were delicious! Shrimp cocktail is always perfect. Service was great, as was the people watching!

    Our family has had many memorable meals at RL over the years and last night was no exception. The service was friendly and prompt and the food was excellent. The shrimp cocktail is my favorite in the city and the new flourless cake is a must have!

    We come here every December for our annual team end of year celebration! NEVER disappoints. Just be aware even with a reservation you may need to wait. We always enjoy hanging at bar while our table is getting prepped.
