text: Honestly, I had a great time here this past Friday. I went in expecting snobbery and bullshit, given the nature of some of these reviews, but experienced nothing of the kind. I went for a going away fling for one of my gf's and she picked R+D as it was one of her favorite places for a cocktail and her top pick for a G+T in the area. \n\nWe arrived at 7PM, went up to the hostess and got the secret number to call and waited about 20 min for our table to get ready. Granted, I did get a little antsy, but that's mostly because I was starving and forgot all my purse snacks at home *sob*. Pro tip kids, ALWAYS bring a snack, I don't care if I sound 80 years old, when have you ever been disappointed when a snack appears?! \n\nAnyway, after we are seated, our host for the evening comes by, explains the menu and gives us some time to look it over. We're also introduced to the mixologist of the evening. Every drink sounds incredible, I want them all. Our waiter was also great at explaining each drink and making sure we knew what we were getting into. The G+T my GF ordered was infused at our table, explained in great detail, we even got to pass around the gin and smell it. It may have been $18, but it made her about 2 drinks. My drink (honey bee or something) came on fiiiire! Our last round of drinks also came on fire, which is just so much fun to watch. I wish I could remember what it was called, but I'll just have to go back. Who knows, it might actually be against the rules to tell you anyway. \n\nThe rules, yes there are some rules. Guys, you don't get to be sleazy and walk up to girls and hit on them. Also, no swearing. I broke this a few times, luckily it wasn't too loud and our waiter was no where in site. Flash photography, NOPE. The group next to us did get a slap on the wrist for this and my friend did mention she saw people get kicked out once for that. There were a few others, mostly, just don't be an ass and keep the place classy. \n\nOh, we also ordered food (try the grilled cheese and the scallops, soo freakin good). The 5 of us had 5 dishes and 7 drinks + tax + tip = $50ish a person, not bad at all in my book. Some of our drinks were more expensive, while others had more expensive entrees, plus the experience alone made me not care about dropping dough. Would I go every weekend? No. Would I want to go every once in a while, especially on a girls night? Heck yes! \n\nMy advice, get there early! The place only has space for less than 50 people. If you show up at 9PM on a Friday or Saturday, of course you are going to wait. What do you expect? Also, it's not some shit bar on Mill. You aren't going to get away without dropping at least $20-$30 on a few drinks, but they are worth it. The 2 drinks I had were perfectly made, got me buzzed, and came on fire. What more does a girl need?
