    This was my first time dining at RPM and it will not be my last!! The food, the service, the ambiance, all 10s!!!! But the food!!! OMG! What I like about this outstanding restaurant is they give you good portions of absolutely delicious food! And an elegant, first class dining ambiance with VIP service. I think my server’s name was Matty. Good date place, great place to dine w friends or a special occasion. Highly recommend! My only big complaint….the bar area was filled with gorgeous women!!! NEED MORE MEN PLEASE!! @RPM how about adding a cigar bar to attract the fellas??

    Service was 10/10! The artichokes, crudo, brussel sprout salad and bread service were great starters for our big group of 8. The favorite mains were the cacio e Pepe, carbonara, filet and chicken parm! All the deserts were delicious too. Great meal!

    Made reservations but waited about 30 minutes past.. watching people come in later than us be seated first. Seemed as if they forgot about us. But the food was great as was the server!

    I'm pleasantly surprised, I wasn't expecting it to be more than just a fancy restaurant with higher prices. The food was good and the service was wonderful.

    We had a beautiful 2 top table over looking the bar area. Great service and although the food took a while we told him we were not in a rush. Truffle garlic bread, excellent octopus, chicken Vesuvius and grilled shrimp, spicy crab black pasta were all very good! Beautiful Christmas Eve dinner.
