"I liked my French toast but would have preferred a different side than potatoes (I found that weird, they should have amped up the tiny fruit cup). Our waiter was not very good, spoke very quickly and checked in pretty rarely. I have gone before and really enjoyed the food and service, perhaps it's hit and miss."

"Food preparation did not reflect the menu. For example Calmari dish contained very little squid and an abundance of beans, while the menu suggested otherwise. The beef Manti did NOT have one piece of beef in it. We foolishly paid $90 for three pitchers of margaritas thinking they would contain tequila, but alas they contained more ice than drink and the drink itself was almost all sour mix. The cheese pide was the only dish that was well prepared and seasoned.

The one bright side of the evening was the al fresco dinning option, but that would not be enough to bring us back to RTB."

"I generally love this restaurant - very nice food, and the window seats in the front room are fairly quiet. But the back room seems to be where they send the large group of drunken, cackling revelers and the acoustics are terrible - namely - it seems to amplify the cackling. I hate cackling If they offer you that option, I'd suggest going somewhere else."

"Had a lovely dinner with a friend from out-of-country. We sat outside and I especially appreciated the fact that our server was attentive but in no way rushed us. So often with outside tables on a beautiful night the staff want to turn the tables, and seem to push people through their dinner to do so. That was most definitely not the case here. Food was really good, drinks were yummy, and I'll be back!"

"I've passed this place for ages, and have been wanting to try it. My dad and I went for brunch when he was visiting. It was fine, but just that. I had eggs florentine, which didn't really have any hollandaise sauce on it. It didn't taste bad, but wasn't really worth going out for. My dad thouht his eggs benedict was good."

"The food was delicious, very fresh flavors which worked together perfectly. We had a BBQ chicken pizza, and they elevated it to a serious, and delicious dish. The stuffed grape leaves and peppers were good, but not remarkable. The ambiance is great but the noise level was quite high, made it difficult to talk without leaning over the table at each other."

"we had high hopes for this place when we found it. it definitely delivered. our table was in a busy hallway but it never bothered us. the wait staff were energetic and helpful without being too pushy or intrusive. the food was excellent. we ordered the lamb pizza and the turkish sausage pide, which were both wonderful. i'm not much of a wine drinker but they what seemed to be a pretty good wine list. i'd like it if they expanded their beer selection a little. we thought that sitting outside would be nice when the weather gets nicer but there isn't much to see outside on the one side unless you want to stare at the gas station across the street. overall, we loved it and we'll be back again. maybe next time we'll bring some friends."
