    The restaurant was too loud, even before the music started. Our server was incompetent. We had to ask for refills on water and coffee multiple times. I expected really good service because it is part of a culinary school and I was extremely disappointed.

    Everything was wonderful. I had the fettuccine Alfredo and would highly recommend. It was unexpected with peppers and onions in the dish, but it was delicious. The pot sticker appetizer was my favorite.

    We truly enjoyed our dinner at Rhapsody. We were celebrating a birthday and the acoustic guitar player was a nice touch -- not too loud, just great, easy listening background music. My daughter ordered a pasta dish; I had salmon; and my husband had fish and chips. All portions were quite large. We loved the cheesecake with berries for dessert. The chocolate torte was a little dry but the ice cream and chocolate fudge made up for it. We will definitely return. Everything was very good, including the beer (from local brewery Jackie O's in Athens -- a Russian Imperial Stout). Yummmmmm!

    The food was delicious, wait staff was courteous and efficient. We really enjoyed the ambiance, the food, great cocktails. Otis Cochran was playing in the background, such a lovely evening.

    Food was fabulous and our server was outstanding. Band was a little loud but not hard to fix. Great music, though!
