    It felt overpriced for just okay food. This was the third time we’ve been, and it was probably our last. Just not worth it.

    First let me say that we frequent this restaurant. This was by far our first disappointment. Our reservation was early - 4:30PM - and we arrived and were seated but no one came to take our order for 15 minutes. I finally had to get the attention of the front hostesses (who were chatting away and dancing to the music) and ask if our server knew we were there. Apologies and within a minute our server came to the table. From there our service was great. But your front hostesses need more training. Our meal was good. Husband had the french dip and it was amazing. I had the caprese panini - it was just ok. The bread was soggy. The basil tomato soup was bland. When we left there was a congregation of hostesses/servers at the front desk and they did not even speak to us. Seriously the front desk folks need way more training.

    This restaurant was less than mediocre. Food was barely warm and quite tasteless. The atmosphere was non existent with bright lights shining on the diners. Someone had to ask for them to be turned off! They charged an extra 2% for paying with a card! Have eaten in many restaurants and that has never happened. Nothing to recommend it! We will not be back.

    Our food was great but not worth the prices. Our server was very nice, but overall the service was super slow. We waited a very long time for drinks then apps then mains.

    First experience at The Rutledge Franklin and we were pleased. Service was good, food delightful and environment quaint. The only feedback for improvement would be temperature control. It was extremely cold and we had to put our coats on for part of the time while there, all four of us dining. Will return, just bundled more.
