Things often change over the years and often not for the best. I take great comfort in knowing over the several decades I’ve been a faithful customer, RT’s has never changed in all the ways that count - top food, top service, fun ambiance, and always a special place to bring out-of-towners. (Just wish they’d bring back the Ginger Rogers cocktail!). Thank you, RT’s, and here’s to many more years.
