    My husband and I had an amazing experience tonight at Rue 561! Staff was polite, discreet, and friendly, with some well respected personality! Food presentation was OFF THE CHART, and the intimacy and cozy feel, just all added to a wonderful dining experience! Excellent job! We will be back! The Nathanson’s!
