Really underwhelming experience. I expected better for the price. Food especially did not meet expectations.

My husband I arrived at 5 PM when they opened. The building is cool. It’s definitely original with the decor. When we got there we were the only ones as they just opened. I ordered a sweet tea which I found out after she brought it that they don’t carry sweet tea, but unsweetened and they gave sweetener for it. That’s fine though. No biggie.For an appetizer we ordered southwest egg rolls. They were delicious and were the only part of our experience that was pleasant.For our meals, I had the tomato basil pasta and my husband had the Cajun pasta. Zero flavor on both. My husband had even less flavor than mine which I don’t know how it’s even possible. It was basically just tasting the noodles. So so bland. Pasta from fazolis is even better than this was.Our service was not good. I had to ask for a refill after waiting 10 minutes of being out of my drink. At this point there was only one other table there. When we were done eating, we waited another 20 minutes before ever receiving our ticket. There were 2 other tables at this point. Then we waited more than 30 minutes for our server to come back and take our card to pay. At this point another table came in, had their drinks, ordered their food and received their meal well before we were able to pay. Our total time waiting to leave was almost an hour and and we were there for a total of 1 1/2 hours. Will never go back.

Ambience was mediocre. It’s a neat space, but there’s something lacking. As far as food is concerned, it was actually very bland. The food came out cold. My filet was dry, mashed potatoes were dry. Pricing seemed astronomical for the quality, especially considering the modest portion size.

Great place to eat! We had a filet mignon steak with the potatoes and sautéed vegetables, pork chop with risotto and sautéed spinach and the food was delicious! We had fantastic and timely service, dinner was hot, and it was a very nice experience at RFD. We will definitely be back.

The food was fantastic!

Excellent service, great food, amazing cocktails. It’s a small menu, but they do everything well. Must order the appetizers - Deviled Eggs, calamari, and Brussels Sprouts. Love the environment too!

Our waitress Rosta(hope that's spelled right) was awesome! Even though there were things that they were out of on the menu she recommended items they did have and off her recommendation I had the brussel sprouts that were delicious! She was all around amazing the whole time I was there! I hope she is recognized for her hard work!

Tried taking my wife out for date night, our first in a while (we actually got a babysitter!). I made a reservation and showed up on time. We were seated right away, but sat for 30 minutes without a server coming to the table once!!!! The poor hostess, who was running around like crazy, brought us waters after 20 minutes and some bread shortly after that. Her look was very apologetic and I appreciate how hard she was working to keep customers happy in the midst of an obvious staffing shortage. There are thousands of great restaurants around the US with only one or two people in the back of house and one or two in the front who don't have this problem because they don't seat tables they can't serve. I can't believe they actually seated us!!! We had to walk out after 30 minutes because we knew by looking around at the other tables we weren't going to get food for an hour at least and we had to get our son from the sitter at a certain time. The bright side is we had a wonderful meal at a place around the corner...

RFD provided us with a delightful experience. Outdoor dining was pleasant, the staff were friendly and accommodating, the inside was a nostalgic trip back to the days of ye olde post office, expertly restored. We will be back.

Parking: Street side out front and shared lot to the side.

Wheelchair accessibility: Ramp on the parking lot side of outdoor dining which is then a straight line to inside dining and restrooms.

Wheelchair accessibility: Intresting place, old post office,well done. The service was so so, the food was very dissapointing. And for what we got,too pricey. I ordered flat bread with tomatos and herbs( the munue has cheese on it) being vegan I ask for it to be left off. When it arrived it was a broken cracker with very little tomato. My friend ordered a salad without cheese and chicken . She said it was good. I also ordered a portabella musjhroom ,without cheese ,it came out burnt all around the edges, tasted like charcoal. I don,t mind having pricey lunch but.. I would have been happier eating at Burger king. We drank water and the bill was $47.00 plus tip.

Stopped by and waited in the foyer for around 10 minutes; watched the waitress service 4 tables while no host appeared; such a disappointment for our second visit; may not return…

My husband and I attempted to visit this restaurant tonight. We arrived at 5 P.M. We checked online and confirmed it was open but found the doors locked and staff just standing around looking at us through the door. They even had signs posted saying they were open!

Had an amazing anniversary dinner here. Was even better than I expected. Pride is filled in this resturant. The lavender drink was absolutely amazing!
