The food was amazing and the service very attentive and polite. With a very laid back atmosphere and clean restaurant.

I’ve visited this place many times in the last 10+ years because I loved the menu. In the past year I visited twice and found the quality of the food has decreased. The menu is still pretty exciting but the presentation is not great. Think TGI Fridays. I understand that in this area it’s difficult to sell daring menu items so I can’t knock them for the menu changes. I ordered the crab cakes and wouldn’t recommend them. They were fairly small and no chunks of crab meat. They were also very wet and no browning on them. I never use tartar sauce on my crab cakes but did this time to make them taste better. My asparagus was cooked perfectly. My partner’s Reuben did not look impressive (dry untoasted bread) but tasted fine. Dessert looked stellar and tasted ok.

I had a bad experience on New Year’s Eve. As I was eating my steak, I felt something sharp in my mouth. I pulled it out of my mouth and it was a whole toothpick! I told the waitress and she apologized, informing me she would have a manager come over. Instead, a cook came to the table and said they use toothpicks to hold the meat together - no apology. Where was the manager? They comped my meal, but I still didn’t get the apology! What would they say if the toothpick lodged in my throat???

I have to say you must get a date to get to Riks.. I had the Rikarita, cream of crab and the Turkey sandwich. The Rikarita has the Grand Marnier cognac, omg , so good. The small cup of cream of crab was such a fresh crab taste and the blueberry brie turkey sandwich is always good.

Three and a half stars. We wanted this place to be great so that we could have another favorite place in the area. We got there n weekday for an early dinner. We were seated promptly and served by a nice friendly young guy. Our drinks were OK, the hazy IPA choice was a little weak, and my wife had to ask for more chocolate in the chocolate martini in order to taste chocolate. I had the cheese and crab grilled cheese and it was very good. The problems were with the desserts; we had heard and read that they were great, so I tried the brownie cake/sundae (I forget the exact names) and I can't remember what my wife had exactly, but it was a butterscotch cake or pudding with marshmallows and/or blueberries. My wife opted for no marshmallows and blueberries. Desserts came and my wife's had no blueberries and all marshmallows. But even with that screw-up the taste was really not that exciting. My brownie cake/sundae was so hard along the side that I had to use my knife, and even then I couldn't cut it, so half of it stayed uneaten. This is obviously a popular place and the server was very attentive and owned up to the mistake with my wife's dessert. We might try it again but without the desserts this time.

The food was delicious and nicely priced. The service was okay but I think the waiter could have checked on us a little more to move plates and cups off the table. The crab dip pretzel was so delicious and I enjoyed every bite. The decors were beautiful. That was my 4 th time there. It has become one of my favorites!

Was in town to catch a flight and googled places in the area. This place kept popping up and figured we'd give it a try. Very glad we did - delicious food, great service, and very cute atmosphere. Will try and go again at another flight!

Birrata appetizer was super fresh, ribeye steak grilled to perfection, lamb chops were crispy and savory. Excellent service. Rik's never disappoints!
