   Payton was an amazing bartender, he was absolutely superb. 10/10 recommend. He makes an absolutely delicious espresso martini.

   Piped in music loudness made it very difficult to converse with our friends. I asked the two ladies at the hostess station to turn it down. They said they would but there was no noticeable difference. My prime rib was dry and no steak knife was offered. The prime rib ($48) and the loaded baked potato were lukewarm. My wife said her sandwich was great. Our friends report: her burger was good his shrimp salad was ok - the pesto sauce wasn't blended so the basil acted like an afterthought.

   For the price, would eat elsewhere. The live music was a pleasant surprise, though.

   Made some nice changes to the menu rolling into Spring Time. Meat Loaf was actually awesome even though I don't order it that often at most restaurants. Steak Roll appetizer is always a must have. Their drink selection is always good as well.

   Took our son there for a celebration dinner and had a good experience. Ambiance is really nice, service was good, everyone’s food was on point. It was an overall good experience.

   It was not the usual experience we normally get. Service was not the best tonight very slow even though we had an early dinner and it wasn’t busy. I ordered Ribeye and it was not hot but kinda cold. It was my wife’s birthday and it just was not special. Please know that I always give great reviews of the Rutledge but tonight was on off night.

   The service was excellent, but the food was disappointing. The charcuterie board was bland; the meats were dry and tasteless, and the cheeses tasted less than fresh. Our entrees were also under-seasoned and not cooked to our liking. The steak was uneven, raw in some spots, and well done in others. The dessert we chose was an amalgamation of store-bought ingredients mixed into a tasteless lump. Overall, for a $200+ meal, this was a very poor experience.

    Change the color temp to 3500k on the walls. Add a warm light on each table. Dim everything. It would be much better ambience
