Sun Jan 09 12:12:40 -0800 2005 0 2jumpy 1 981891 We've been got to RT for years and have the food consistently good. If you are looking for culinary theatrics, this is not the place. Instead, expect updated preparations on standard american cuisine. I think when the place was initially conceived its menu was slanted towards creole/New Orleans fare. When we visited last fall, it was hard to discern these influences in the menu, but I still think there may be a Jambalaya/gumbo on the menu. Although not personally a fan, my wife likes the crab cakes. That being said, the food was still good (a little pricier than I remember = $20+/entree). The place can get a little loud because of the way the bar in which the garden area opens up to restaurant floor and the upstairs seating area. If noise is a problem, ask for a table upstairs in the back, but you will lose the ambience of the garden area. The other nice thing about RT is that street parking abounds and you will not need to park in a lot.
