We had a wonderful experience. The atmosphere was perfect for a cold Winter’s night. The food was exceptional. We had the dry aged cowboy steak and petite filet. Both were cooked to perfection. The calamari was tender and the truffle Parmesan fries were very good. We sat at the high top tables on the second floor and found the area to be very inviting. Our reservation was relatively early 5:30 pm so I imagine it would be a bit more crusted later on. We thoroughly enjoyed our experience at Rails.

Husband and I went for the Christmas lounge and had a nice time. Somewhat confused by the low rating as we found both the atmosphere and food very good. Will definitely return.

Our server, Omar, was fantastic. Kids had a great time with arcade games, food was much better than expected for a chain restaurant, and it was very clean! First time going, table of 10, and everyone had a great time!
