Our only problem was the seating policy of the Restaurant. We made a reservation for 7pm. We arrived on time. There were tables inside the main room to accommodate us. However, we were assigned to a booth at the corridor, entrance right next to the cashier. The worst was that other couples with no reservations arrived after us and were taken to the main room. The food was good and the waiter also. However it was a very bad experience and we don't think we will return.

We love eating at Rudy’s where their special lunch deals make frequent dining possible. The hummus, pita bread, and lentil soup are delicious. All three ample meat options are excellent, and the service is friendly and attentive. Rudy’s dining room features booths and tables plus a bar and glass-enclosed section for special parties.

This is a lovely little tucked away gem that we had not previously known about. The interior is absolutely beautiful and the food was excellent. The service was a tad slow, but overall, I would highly recommend it if you’re in the mood for Mediterranean style food. We are vegan so there were very few choices, but we were able to find food to eat. The value is fair. It’s a little bit pricey and the wine is very pricey but if you’re just looking for a really really nice place to have dinner, then I would recommend Rudy’s.

I enjoyed the service and food at Rudy’s Mediterranean Grill. I ordered the lunch special - choice of lentil soup or salad, choice of appetizer and entree. I picked the lentil soup, spicy mixed vegetables and lamb doner. The waiter gave us fresh bread and pita for the table to dip our appetizers. The service was wonderful and he answered all of my questions about the menu. Everything was delicious and will definitely come back.
