    Our time at Ralph’s was perfect as always. There is truly no place I would rather spend my birthday. The staff always go above and beyond and are so welcoming.

    Food was good per usual, but service lacked (we waited 15+ minutes before we were able to order another drink, and then another 10+ minutes to get our drinks) and there was no music. We are frequent guests and usually love our experience, but the service definitely could’ve been better. We also didn’t love being seated directly next to the service station.

    Did not meant to order two lobster soup but got charged for two plates at the end. Veal Chop was under seasoned NO SALT AT ALL? Crab cake was okay. They celebrated our anniversary with a brownie which was good. Service was good the server was funny. Ambience overall good. 6.8/10.
