    We made reservations at Rats for Christmas Eve over a month ago with the understanding that it would be their dinner menu as it was advertised on their website as “Menu for the night includes our full menu”. We were surprised that the menu was actually their lunch menu so we ended up trying to order different things to make it our “dinner.” The food was good, nothing special, but it would have been nice to know beforehand. If I knew it was only going to be the lunch menu, we would have dined somewhere else to celebrate Christmas Eve.

    Lovely place and friendly service. Food a bit spicy! Apps and desserts were amazing. Great place to go for a "nice" meal that isn't crazy $$ (though not inexpensive). Great menu items and fun cocktails though we didn't try any. Plenty of parking and takes reservations so very convenient.

    The service was impeccable. Our server, Emma, was very pleasant and attentive! She made some very good recommendations and was extremely attentive to our table. It was our guests first time experiencing Vidalia. They were all amazed how good the menu was and the excellent flavors and choices. We enjoyed the great stuffed Onion, stuffed mushrooms and the Calamari. We also order a pasta course which included the Cannelloni, The rigatoni vodka, and the Cacio Pepe. All were excellent. Our entrees were over the top excellent. The Short Rib special with the mushroom risotto was delightful. Our guests enjoyed the evening so much they purchased gift cards for their friends and family! Vidalia as an excellent restuarant!!! Thank you, Emma, for your great Service!
