This was my first time dining at RPM and it will not be my last!! The food, the service, the ambiance, all 10s!!!! But the food!!! OMG! What I like about this outstanding restaurant is they give you good portions of absolutely delicious food! And an elegant, first class dining ambiance with VIP service. I think my server’s name was Matty. Good date place, great place to dine w friends or a special occasion. Highly recommend! My only big complaint….the bar area was filled with gorgeous women!!! NEED MORE MEN PLEASE!! @RPM how about adding a cigar bar to attract the fellas??

Service was 10/10! The artichokes, crudo, brussel sprout salad and bread service were great starters for our big group of 8. The favorite mains were the cacio e Pepe, carbonara, filet and chicken parm! All the deserts were delicious too. Great meal!

I'm pleasantly surprised, I wasn't expecting it to be more than just a fancy restaurant with higher prices. The food was good and the service was wonderful.

We had a beautiful 2 top table over looking the bar area. Great service and although the food took a while we told him we were not in a rush. Truffle garlic bread, excellent octopus, chicken Vesuvius and grilled shrimp, spicy crab black pasta were all very good! Beautiful Christmas Eve dinner.
