    Updated review: I had initially expressed dissatisfaction with our experience and our service, and I got a very kind call from Maria within two days of our visit. Maria made it right, and made me want to come back. The good: the desserts were great, and most of the entrees were very good as well

    Very great service and nice staff, so I didn’t send the food back but the food was absolutely horrible. There was no flavor even when I asked for salt and pepper. Got a couple sides and an entree and everything lacked flavor. The server asked if I wanted to take the food home because I didn’t eat any of it. I said no which should’ve been their clue. The drinks were good, but I won’t be back

    Absolutely authentic cajun and creole cuisine. The best gumbo I've found in the DC metro area. Consistently high quality.

    I absolutely love this place. My family and I have been coming here for decades. It is a main stay in the area, and in my opinion our best restaurant. I have hesitated to leave reviews before because I didn’t want everybody to know about it. But I went in the other day and it was not busy. So, I have to make sure they stay around! A neighborhood without RT’s is no neighborhood at all. Things that are amazing here: I’ve honestly never had a bad dish. I love the Sazerac. House wine is great. Service, ambience, everything, excellent. 30-year-old dioramas of the Arlandria (trying to rebrand as Del Ray north) neighborhood are fantastic. This place is an absolute must.
