Really loved sitting out on the patio with my work colleagues for dinner, and the vibe was great. We especially enjoyed the beignets! My only feedback was the waiter forgetting one of our meals so it came out later than everyone else’s.

My brother, nephew, and I have dined at Ruthie’s multiple times and it has become our go-to because everything works well. I LOVED the rockfish special, my brother exclaims that you make the best brisket he’s ever tasted, while my nephew inhaled a chicken special. Ruthie’s keeps on giving!

Enjoyed my dining experience at K+K, their attention to detail with specialty cocktails is a plus! The toasted marshmallow espresso martini is my fave! The food is always flavorful and staff very attentive. Our waitress Knori was fantastic!

Everyone's food was delicious and opulent servings. The fried chicken was delicious and had to take some home. The brisket was soft and delicious. The lamb burger was huge and delicious. The sweet potato fries were wonderful The noise level was very high. It was difficult to talk to each other across the table.
