    Waitress was fabulous and accommodating of our party of 9, and everyone enjoyed their meals. There were a few missteps but otherwise the staff and especially our waitress was extremely nice and helpful. There were a few delays on drinks but come on, we were a party of 9. The biggest issue was one of the diners did not get her food until almost everyone was finished eating. There was a mix-up somewhere either in placing the order or the kitchen in making the order. And, the one weird thing is they offered her a drink from the bar (she already had one) instead of paying for the one she had already - it was a little odd - my friend declined. Other than that, we had an enjoyable meal and have been visiting Ramsi's as long as they have been around - so close to 30 years. We still enjoy the quirkiness of the place.

    We celebrated my Friend's Birthday, there was no acknowledgment of it, even though it was identified in the comments of reservation. I did love the Baklava!

    The food was amazing! The staff were very nice and courteous. My only complaint would be that they were very short staffed today. I made reservations and unfortunately had to wait 30 additional minutes without follow up communication on how long my wait would be. I initiated communication twice with the seating host for updates on our wait until we were given a seat. After we received a seat, drinks and food came quickly and the food was absolutely amazing! I would just suggest more staffing, communication from seating host more, or not allow reservations to be made online while short staffed. I’ll definitely be back again because the food was that good and worth the wait!!

    I had one of the best meals ever at our recent visit to Ramsi's. If you're wondering what to order, give Mr. Krabs a try! It was fantastic.

    Great as always. The focaccia bread is a great way to start the meal. Wrapping it up with the sweet plantains. Two of our favorites.
