We had an outstanding server, and the greeters were courteous and efficient when I asked to be seated at a quieter table. A holiday weekend, the restaurant was quite energetic, but it still managed to be an elegant experience.

We brought a close friend who was visiting from out of town to RPM for dinner and she loved the food, the service and the ambiance. We knew we could count on the great service and excellent food and it did not disappoint. Our server India was fantastic and made sure that our orders were timed perfectly and just as we asked. Highly recommend.

I always bring clients here, but this service was the worst. Our server was always working behind the bar. If we were ready to order or needed anything, I had to go to the bar. This was the worst service at any restaurant. I expect more with RPM
