Rods was a family favorite but last night disappointed! One diner got his food a full 10 minutes before the rest and then the order was wrong. Steak was delicious but the tuna was tasteless and veggies overcooked. Servers were courteous but too many misses. The restaurant is stately!

Way overpriced for quality. Rod’s is charging NYC steakhouse prices and the steaks don’t live up to hype

I’ve enjoyed Rod’s every time I’ve visited, the service & food are impeccable & the atmosphere is quiet and comfortable, the value is certainly reasonable at ~$200 for two. The only downside was the restrooms weren’t very clean. Overall an excellent experience and I highly recommend it.

The prime rib was fatty cooked not to our liking and tasteless The service was amateur for such an established place. I have eaten here many times, but have never had such a bad experience.

A perfect place for special dinners including birthdays & anniversaries, but it’s also a great date night for couples. The main dining room is beautiful (sit upstairs if you can and enjoy the chandelier and stain glass ceiling) I love the old world elegance (but not stuffy) decor with dark wood & cozy leather booths. If you are lucky, the live piano will add to the ambiance. Service is always attentive. Steaks are excellent, fish is good. Be sure to get the mashed potatoes and onion strings on the side. Start with the BTL salad or tuna tartar. Save room for dessert, too.

We got married at The Madison Hotel 24 years ago and go back to Rod’s every year for our anniversary. No steak house compares. The food is always perfect and so is the service. You will not find a more flavourful steak anywhere. I always get the surf and turf with bernaise. The bernaise is also the best I have ever had. My husband gets the blackened delmonico and raves about it. One of our favorite dining experiences.
