We went for VDay and got our first two courses on time. Our entry took an hour, and we ultimately took it home. The owner/manager took the cost of one meal off, which was greatly appreciated. Our waitress was apologetic, and we were pleased with the restaurant's response to the slow service. We ate the food upon arrival home, and we were not impressed. Perhaps they rushed the order and forgot to season the food- no clue. The ambiance was great; however, we had hoped for a better experience.

We enjoyed our Valentine’s Day dinner at Rudy’s. I was surprised to see a 3 percent credit card charge on our bill. We were not expecting that since nobody told us about it.

My husband and I went on Valentine's Day for a meal in the evening. There was a fixed price of $95.00 pp for a 4 course meal. Everything was delicious. The atmosphere was lovely and it was noisy at all. It was my first time eating a meal at this restaurant and I will definitely come back.

Our second time visiting Rudy's. The host moved us to a quiet table, away from the band, which was playing nice music, just too loud for us. Waiter was excellent, food was great, cost was moderate. Manager gave us a free dessert to take home, just because. Suggest ordering a platter and sharing. Overall very nice, we'll be back.

We chose Rudy’s for the Columbia location so family could meet in the middle from Baltimore and Rockville. The reviews looked good and we prefer ethnic menus. We were very pleased with everything about Rudy’s including the menu, the food, the atmosphere, and especially the service! This is a gem of a restaurant that needs to be highlighted more. Thank to Rudy’s for a lovely dining experience.
