Had a very nice dinner at Rods on December 21st. We were surprised to be seated in the railroad cars. The food and portions were amazing! I had the prime ribs with a side of creamed spinach.

The venue is charming and beautiful, seemingly a perfect place to celebrate holidays and special occasions. However, I find the service and food very average. We arrived at 6:35 for a 6:45p reservation, and was only seated a little after 7p. The front desk staff seemed very inexperienced, constantly going to the back to check on things, often times leaving the front desk unattended and causing customers to lineup. The table we were seated in was very close to another table so every time when a server wanted to pass through, they ask my son to push his chair in (even though he was already seated very close to the table) which was disruptive for our dining experience. Lastly, the appetizers and salads were good, but the steak was mediocre, dry and hard for a medium done steak.

Seated on the upper level of the dining room we had a grand view of the Tiffany ceiling, and it was much less noisy than the main floor or the red dog. At the close of the meal we were serenaded by the wonderful Brynn Stanley and her pianist, and we spent a happy hour post meal listening to them perform holiday and jazz favorites. A great way to begin the last weekend before Christmas!

I have never been so excited for a meal and been so disappointed. We were sat without menus. Our appetizer came before our cocktails. Our steak was over cooked and without any plates, my baked potato came out at the end of the meal without butter or sour cream. My empty glass was taken away with asking if I wanted another. It’s was just terrible. Beautiful place and I was really hoping for a great experience but I am sad to say service and food was really lacking. I don’t usually write reviews like this but for the amount of money you spend, I would’ve appreciated a heads up.

Love Rod's. Consistently serves tasty food in a pleasant atmosphere (you can actually have a conversation in the dining area where words are easily heard). Attentive, but not overly so, service.

Great service, I liked the waiter, he can serve me anytime. Soup was fair, but the clams were nice. No gluten free for my wife.
