We love Ralph’s because the food is consistently great, and doesn’t break our budget. Our latest meal there was Sunday brunch. We ordered a bottle of Cava ($30). My husband had the City Park Breakfast ($21) and I opted for the 3-course brunch special ($45). I chose the City Park Salad for the first course—I love the combination of flavors of apples, blue cheese and bacon—and the Vegetable Goat Cheese Quiche topped with boiled shrimp for the second course, which exceeded all expectations. The goat cheese filling was heavy with spinach and mushrooms and seasoned to perfection. We shared the pumpkin cheesecake for dessert—fabulous! For a little over $100 dollars, including tax and tip, it was a most enjoyable experience. And the view of the oaks in City Park from the dining room, is a most welcome bit of lagniappe!

They had a special menu typed up with Happy Anniversary on it, which was a nice touch! Our server had great recommendations, and everything we ate was delicious! They didn’t have valet when we got there which was a bummer since it was raining when we left, but other than that, we would highly recommend this restaurant for any special occasion.

Jeff our waiter was phenomenal, he did not rush us and was very pleasant . He had a great energy and enjoyed what he did and it showed . He made the night ! Food was excellent and speciality drinks and turtle soup were amazing ! Great table too . Room was loud when filled, hard to hear at our table ; suggest some type of ceiling dampers to decrease noise level for a better fine dining experience .
