RL is adorable- such tasteful decor with excellent service and delicious food. We had the mini lobster rolls, the NY strip steak, the mashed potatoes, and the sautéed spinach. Best meal in awhile :)

The bass was excellent, and the Kofta was tasty. However, the humus was a disappointment—not better than what one can buy in a grocery store. The cauliflower/broccoli dish was a good surprise. Overall, the food was good, but not surprising. The place was full (on a Friday night) -- crowded and noisy. Service was slow.
