Ruggles Black is THE place to be for conscious eating foodies, as Bruce “The King of Paleo” cooks his amazingly delicious treats with local ingredients from farmers, while embracing the Paleo principles.

    I'm so happy to have found Ruggles Black. I am gluten and dairy free and there are so many delicious options. Regular eaters who have eaten there with me love the food as well. The atmosphere is very fun. Wait staff are fabulous. The owner came out to greet us and to make sure we were happy. I will go back often.

    Roost never disappoints. I love that the cauliflower is always on the menu and most of the dishes change every couple of months, always something new and fabulous to try. Happy hour prices are fantastic for wine, perfect location for before a show.

    A nice hidden gem. Loved the decor, the kitchen open to the restaurant and bar. Very intimate, food was great overall. The cacio peppe was my least favorite as it had no flavor at all. We ordered pasta and asked the chef to make it spicy. The first time it was so delicious, we ordered another for our table, however it was less spicy and not as great as the first time. We had to ask for more water after our pitcher was sitting empty for a while, we also had to request that our table be cleaned off after we finished the starters. The restaurant was empty so it wasn’t busy and therefore they should have been a bit more attentive. Little details make or break a restaurant in our opinion. With that being said, we’ll definitely give it another try because the food was good.

    The hostess and the waitstaff were wonderful. We got our food promptly, and it was delicious. I ordered a pizza for my daughter to go, and she also loved it. I'll be back.
