We had been to Ralph’s when were in town a couple years back and loved it! We returned because we were assuming we would have the same experience. Unfortunately, we ordered a medium steak each but part of one steak was definitely medium rare and the other steak was completely medium rare. The green beans definitely were just steamed without any seasoning. The strawberry shortcake was disgusting as the breading was so hard and dry. It definitely wasn’t the Ralph’s we remember.

We had a great dinner here to celebrate my husband’s birthday. We enjoyed the beet and strawberry salad, fried oysters, and crayfish manicotti especially. Our server, Katie, was warm and professional. Good wine list and cocktails too.

As usual, the items on the menu were ALL so tempting that it was hard to narrow it down! The turtle soup is always delicious, and so is the asparagus soup. The fried oysters are also always top notch…but tonight I went with the duck liver mousse. Perfect! Followed up with the pan roasted filet mignon, rare as ordered. The flavors were just exquisite together! A truly impressionable meal…we will be back! Also, happy to see that Ellen was our server tonight, she is just the best!!! Not so sure why you’ve got my husband Kevin’s name on here….this is my phone & it was my reservation. Should have this email and phone # listed under CATHY R. (He has his own phone & separate email). I’m not Kevin. I’m Cathy.
