    Our waiter was Ethan L., and he was absolutely fantastic. He recommended a wonderful wine for me as I am new to the wine world. Every single thing we ordered was OUTSTANDING. The sweet corn ravioli was TO DIE FOR. My boyfriend ordered the truffle fettuccine and they brought fresh truffle to the table and shaved it over his pasta. It was also delicious. The bread they bring you is delicious. The drinks were some of the best we ever had. The espresso martini is amazing. HIGHLY recommend this place. We will be back soon. Price is decent for this place, but it’s also very fancy so I expect nothing less.

    Made reservations for a very busy night on game day weekend and were seated immediately. We did have to flag down a waiter but he did a fantastic job of taking care of us even though he was not assigned our table. Beef fajitas were amazing!! Cocktails were meh. Overall a fun atmosphere. Definitely recommend!

    I personally enjoy the University Club very much, and I bring guests frequently and am a regular at the club. Overall, a great value and experience, with impressive views and rich history for Texas A&M. Can't imagine Rudder Tower without the University Club.
