Rat's Restaurant Reviews
I expected more for the price.
We were here before and it was great. This time it was disappointing. My family took me out for a birthday dinner and we were a party of 9. Here's what irked me.
- We got the cheese plate and the crostini. The menu doesn't say what the cheese is and the waiter dropped it off without explanation.
- They took our order but I had to ask about specials when it was my turn. The only special was fresh oysters and he wouldn't have mentioned...read full review
DISAPPOINTING in a word! Don't waste your money.
April 10th took a friend to lunch. Had the soup of the day, lobster bisque. It was not edible.
Fishy & cold. Unfortunately it was my friend’s first visit. Won’t be going back. Service was great

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.
