    My crab cake dinner was wonderful. We had hoped to have larger variety of seafood dishes on a Friday during the Lenten season.

    3 out of 4 meals had issues. Ceasar salad wasnt a Ceasar salad Chicken Parmeasean chicken breasr was gristle hard rolls had to be requested. Had to wait for refills. Clearly server didnt know menu, inadequately oriented inexperienced. Manager failed to train properly and provide adequate oversight. In future we wont do dinner but we will sit at bar and have burger at best.

    I went to dinner on Valentines day with my newborn son at The Rail. His father is the chef there so it worked out good. We still was able to somewhat spend valentines day together as a family. Food was delicious! Atmosphere was nice the Valentine's Day decorations were beautiful. My waitress was awesome as well. They even had pictures that you could get taken when you walk in the front door. It was an awesome night and a great way to spend my first Valentine's Day with my first son.

    We’ve been here before and it was fabulous. This time, it was everything we expected, but the food was very sub-par. Not nearly as good as the first time.

    The Sunday Brunch is very good at The Rail. The selections are plentiful and very tasty. The French Toast casserole is always wonderful. We did miss the melodious sounds of the pianist which added a certain sense of elegance.

    We all wanted a nice dinner for our Christmas get together. I had a pork chop that was about1/4 inches thick and very dry. It had some sort of sweet sauce. Seven green beans and bake potatoes served with no butter or sour cream. 28.00. Of the seven of us one ordered a turkey club the best choice of the group. Our server was a nice and attentive young lady and we gave her a nice tip despite the poor food. We will not choose The Rail for any other get together. I believe The Rail is more interested in its bar business.

    The food was fantastic, and since I went in the winter and the restaurant is on a golf course, they're was only two other guests. So the ambiance was dead socially but I liked it alot.
