   We booked this reservation through Open Table, and included a note that this was our anniversary dinner. Typically Rudy’s provides some recognition of special events and offers diners a complimentary desert. This time there was no acknowledgment of the special events. The food is good, but it is outrageously expensive. While we’ve been long-time customers of this restaurant, it will be a long time before we return.

   Wonderful evening with friends sharing an excellent meal, drink and fellowship at a favorite restaurant. The service was very good and noise level was perfect. We have yet to be disappointed in our visits to Rudy's for lunch, happy hour or dinner.

   By restaurant name, this is a "Steakhouse". After being seated, we were informed that they were out of all prime rib. OK, extra time and effort goes into preparing prime rib, so if a larger number than average people happen to order prime rib, then they run out. It happens at all restaurants. Then we were informed by our server that they were also out of ribeye steaks, lamb chops, pork chops, one size of filet mignon, and one size of tomahawk steak. Not sure what happened, but this seems pretty unacceptable for a "Steakhouse". It wasn't even a special holiday like Valentine's Day, New Years, Snowball, Prom, or Graduation. Our server was fantastic and very apologetic. We were dining with some friends for a special 70th birthday celebration who had never been there before, and I doubt they will ever return.

   Casey was excellent server! Consistently good food, though 20% over-priced.

   Several people in our party ordered filets, and all of them were overcooked; several ordered medium, and one ordered medium rare, and they all came to the table well done; we sent one back because it was so overdone it was inedible. One person in our party added scallops, and they came out twenty minutes after the entree after we asked about them, and they were cold. I ordered the chicken marsala, and one half of the chicken was overcooked and like rubber, and the other was undercooked. It was definitely an off night in the kitchen; the entrees took over forty minutes to get to the table. Our server was terrific and apologetic; we probably won't be back; this is our second bad experience, and it seems the food doesn't match the price anymore.

   Steaks were tough although cooked correctly. Water glasses not refilled. Very under staffed. Way over priced for the quality you get. Has certainly gone downhill in the past year. Will not be going back.

   Not a world class steak house, but I guess I should not have expected that in Salem. We were not seated until 20 minutes after our reservation time even though the restaurant was not very crowded. After we were seated they hostess asked if we wanted menus. Why would we have not wanted menus? She came back with them and slapped them on the table instead of handing them to us. When the server came to take our orders she said they were out of Brussels sprouts because "they were still recovering from Valentine's Day" (which was 9 days ago - guess their produce is not very fresh). We wanted a long time for our salads, then our entrees were brought out before we were done with our salads. To me at a restaurant at that price point that is unacceptable. Steaks were good, but will not be back.

    It was absolutely wonderful. Food delicious and well presented. Some of the steak options a bit pricey. Chelsey and others were fabulous. Tks too to Cali for getting my gift card issue resolved.
