"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."
