This location seemed smaller and everything squeezed closer together than other Ruby Tuesday locations I have been to. The dining room was divided into two areas in the front with a more open area in the back so if you are a bit claustrophobic, ask to be seated in the back or the right side. There is also a small bar area behind the salad bar with a bar and a few tables with is also an option if everyone in your party is over 21.
The location clean and nicely decorated. Everything looked good the signature Endless Garden Bar and it was kept well stocked when we were there and it was very busy.
The food was good overall, although I didn't care for the Italian 5 Cheese Skillet appetizer; the sauce was too sweet, the bread it was serves with a bit dry and once the cheese gets cold and hardens up it is not good. If you order the Endless Garden Bar, I would skip getting this as an appetizer.
Service was adequate in that our orders were correct and our drinks refilled promptly. The problem was the server's attitude towards coupon.
If you sign up for Ruby Tuesday's loyalty program, many times they send 3 different coupons and you can chose which one to use. After taking our order our server said that our guest that had a coupon for $5 of $15 probably had not ordered enough to use the other coupon we had. I had completed a survey online and had a code for a free appetizer and she told me that it was only good if you ordered two entrees, although the receipt clearly indicated one and even after I pointed that out said she didn't think it would work (it did).
The worst though, was when our 70+ year old relative enquired about the coupon for a free dessert before checking out. Our waitress snipped to her that she could only get that if she had two more people at our table and they ordered entrees. What she could have done instead is simply said only one coupon could be used per ticket and if she wanted the free dessert, that coupon could be used instead. We were horrified and the server ended up getting half of the amount of tip she would have gotten and lucky to have gotten one at all after that. .
When she brought our checks she put my drink on the other ticket; we just settled that amongst ourselves.
Overall, was enjoyable except for the coupon issues. If you go there and use a coupon, be sure to educate yourself on the fine print and if told something different. Next Easter, we will be going elsewhere.
