Nice selection of wine and beers. Death by gumbo and Shrimp Norman both excellent dishes. Shrimp & crawfish benginets are a tasty appetizers. This is a wonderful neighborhood restaurant.

RT's has been around a long time and every time I visit, the food remains the same - outstanding. Best blue crab (cakes and soft shell) you money can buy. Very nice bar/restaurant. Parking available across the street at CVS. We simply love this place.

Always a treat - great place to take out of town guests. We enjoyed great service - especially like the apps. The stuffed flounder was very good.
