"Second time for dinner there with my wife and daughter. The place is always well kept, well lit, and well decorated. Noise level was okay and the live musician wasn't too loud from where we were sat. The food is always excellent. Last time I was there, I got a burrata ravioli dish that was delicious. This time I got skirt steak as my entree and it was perfectly cooked and seasoned. I also ordered a corn poblano chowder that was great. I don't remember my wife's orders, but she really enjoyed them. We were a bit disappointed in our waiter this time out. He wasn't particularly friendly or warm. Perhaps it was a long day and he may have been new, but he definitely could've been a bit more engaged. We were not given a list of specials (perhaps there weren't any) and we had to ask to see the dessert tray. We ordered a cheese board and were not told what each cheese was. For $30, they could tell you. I'm not sure if that's a waiter issue or just how they do it as Rum Runner. My wife is slightly allergic to blue cheese and it would've been great if I could've known which one it was. We also ordered the $6 bread app. I'm okay with paying for bread which really amounts to 5 rolls or so because they normally come with cinnamon butter, a fig jam, and oil. However when our order arrived, there was only oil and butter that was in those little rectangular packets. I asked about the butter and fig jam and was told they were out of both. 2 things. 1. Whipped cinnamon butter can't take more than 2 minutes to make. You mix cinnamon and butter and whip it. Whatever. Maybe it's not made in house for some reason. 2. It would've been nice to have been told about this beforehand. I might have ordered something else. He could've also told us when he brought the order over. I shouldn't have had to ask. A $6 comp would've gone a long way there. Otherwise, we had a very good meal. We'll be back again but if this would've been my first time here, I might go elsewhere next time."

"Update 8/4/2024: We returned to celebrate my wife 's birthday, 5 hour drive. So far the atmosphere is as great as always however so far the food and drinks are not. I got a raspberry lemonade vodka and it 's nearly impossible to drink with this straw and even when I do manage to drink some, it 's tart beyond enjoying. The spinach gnocchi is more like gnocchi soup, swimming in chicken broth (not in the description) and not enjoyable, even the gnocch was flavorless. The server asked if everything was OK, we said it wasn 't and explained that there was no way I could eat the gnocchi and she told us there was no resolution that we would have to pay for it even if she removed it from the table and she suggested we order a different dish. The $45 ribeye we ordered which was supposed to be medium rare was medium well, most parts of it were well done. Since the waitress already said she couldnt help us with the gnocchi situation and informed us we would be charged regardless, I ate most of the steak anyway because I was starving bu this point. The sesame crusted tuna is swimming in separated sauce which was unappetizing. The only part of our meal that we thoroughly enjoyed was the apple salad. Update again after speaking to the manager: I went down the list of everything we ordered just to communicate what went wrong, not even to get a refund but because it 's important to know when the service isn 't what it should be. She gaslighted me about the steak, telling me I shouldn 't have eaten it if it was overcooked and I explained that I 'm only communicating that an error was made, not that I wanted a refund for it and I ate most of it because I was hungry: The reason we go to restaurants in the first place. She was not receptive to my input. I tried to be nice and calm but honest but she was prepared to dismiss me left and right, and make me feel like it was MY fault for their mistakes and unsatisfactory food. As far as that steak goes, regardless if I ate it or not you can look at the picture for yourself and see that it 's nowhere near medium rare, and it lacks integrity that you can 't own up to that but instead blame me for still eating it. I wasn 't asking for a refund at that point and I made that clear. Let 's not let it get lost in the details: The server didn 't fix our issue with the gnocchi so I didn 't have much hope for her caring when I told her the steak was overcooked. She just said oh.. and walked away. The attitude is very much Yeah give us your money and get out of here, we don 't care if we served you the best we could have. I try my best to be easy to please, I might even still give a 4 or 5 star review even if there was an error here and there but for so many things to go wrong all the way up to the manager 's lack of integrity I just can 't recommend unappealing. This meal is incredibly disappointing, and we will not be coming back. It would be different if the customer service accommodated the things that weren 't perfect, I 've been in the restaurant business 14 years and I know very well an off night happens once in awhile but at least be prepared to correct the issue or refund the item. Old Review: Simple, classy, and chill atmosphere with fantastic food options and beautiful art. I 'm thrilled with my date night with my wife here. The braised short rib was the best, mango martini was perfect for a hot day, and don 't let the smaller portions fool you: When you get a rack of lamb it will definitely be a rack of lamb haha. That 's on us for ordering after already enjoying a few other items. We will definitely be back. PS: The music is fine, they play a little something for everyone. Disregard that other review complaining about it at least it wasn 't Even Flow."
