Food and service were amazing! We shared the plantain appetizer with the beef on top, I got the Caribbean salmon and my husband got a mojito and a white meat chicken dish. Everything was amazing. Bonuses were the very cool atmosphere and that the food and drinks came out quickly, but not like they were rushing you out. Highly recommend!

We enjoyed our Valentine’s Day dinner at Rudy’s. I was surprised to see a 3 percent credit card charge on our bill. We were not expecting that since nobody told us about it.
