    we were not prepared to only have four items on the main entrée menu. The prices were really high. We expected to walk in and have the same menu we’ve always had. My wife was extremely upset that they didn’t have the salad that she always got. She was very excited about that salad. there should’ve been some kind of poster information made that it was not going to be their original menu and if it wasn’t going to be the original menu, we could at least have the option of getting the original menu.

    Had a great time 2/14/2025 (Valentine's Day). This was our first time at Rick's. Our server was outstanding and I will ask for Kadence when we go back. We both had the small filet which was cooked prefect. So tender I could cut it with a fork. Also had the combo appetizer which was very good. I will try their seafood on our next visit.
