Rat's Restaurant offers a lovely ambiance with a pleasant atmosphere and a beautiful patio area overlooking a bridge and small pond. The patio is perfect for enjoying a gorgeous day while watching ducks, birds, fish, and a turtle among water lilies. The food is a highlight, with dishes such as baked Brie, scallops, smoked cabbage, duck, and turkey croissant and French dip sandwiches receiving high praise. Guests often enjoy appetizers and drinks while sitting outside, with complimentary popovers and delicious drinks like blood orange crush enhancing the overall dining experience. The ambiance is ideal for a special occasion or a relaxing outing, with some describing the whole experience as being transported to a French chateau in the countryside. While staffing issues may sometimes cause delays, the quality of food and the beautiful outdoor setting make Rat's Restaurant a worthwhile visit. The attentive staff, including a waiter named Mike who is known for his humor and efficiency, ensures guests feel welcome. Although there may be minor issues like long waits during busy times, many guests recommend Rat's Restaurant for its beautiful setting and excellent food, making it a great choice for special occasions.
