Wonderful dinner at Ralph’s on the park. During Christmas, the beautiful restaurant overlooks City Park Majestic lighting display. I highly suggest getting there early and spending time at the bar before going to your table. Food was excellent. Service was excellent. Can’t wait to go back.

Love the bells! Nice restaurant overlooking the scenic, city park. Went for lunch on a Thursday and was underwhelmed by the menu selections which mainly consisted of sandwiches. The service was good. The Skully Shrimp appetizer was very tasty. Next was a City Park Salad with fresh ingredients that could have been delicious but the dressing lacked flavor. My final selection was a blackened shrimp BLT. The tiny shrimp lacked any evidence of blackened seasonings and the bread was very dry and the overwhelming flavor. A small potato salad accompanied this entry and was the tastiest part. Overall, a disappointing visit. Past experiences with brunch and dinner have been very good. I would not return for lunch, rather I'll stick with their dinners.

The setting is cozy and quaint. Waitress was nice. The food was terrible. Risotto had no flavor and taste like cold oatmeal. Scallops were super fishy. Steak has no flavor. I would not recommend.
