Not exactly sure why because the restaurant wasn't packed but after the runner brought our food out, our server came over to apologize for our food taking so long. We didn't notice but we did start checking our food and it was clear that all the plates had been sitting awhile- nothing was hot. This was surprising because I've been coming here for over 20 years and one of the strong points of Rick's is that the food is always hot, not warm but Hot! Like I said,...

My dear friends and I had the most wonderful lunch after being unable to get together for five months. Rick's is our favorite place to meet and it did not disappoint. Our server, Jeff, was awesome, the food delicious and we had a great time catching up. As always, everyone on staff was friendly, welcoming and warm. We will be back soon!

From the hostess remembering me by name to the attentiveness of the staff, Rick's is quickly becoming my go-to. My favorite dish is the Salmon Roulades. I've been 3-times in the past week.
