Amazing service. We also ordered wings and fish and chips. Waiter and the person who showed us to our seats were all amazing. Great attitude loved this place. Would definitely go again if I'm in Oregon. Delicious drinks and food
Ambiance was sports bar, I enjoyed it. Service was awesome. I had a salad with blackened chicken. She had a sandwich with havarti cheese. Wine was fine. Worthy leftovers! Will dine here again!
I really love going to this place. The atmosphere is good and service is usually pretty good. A bit pricey but I have never had cause to be disappointed until tonight. I used a delivery service to get Mac &Cheese w/blackened chicken and a kid's fish & chips. Fish and chips delivered as if I was in houses. A little greasy but hot flakey fish with a crispy batter. One filet and a nice portion of nothing special fries. This meal was devoured so they got it right, no complaints. The Mac &Cheese was cooked well and still had a good chew to it. The sauce was creamy and well done. This dish was seasoned nicely and finished with seasoned breadcrumbs. Can't say anything about the blackened chicken because it did not make it in the dish. Too bad. As I used a delivery service, it wasn't like I could remind the server that I ordered it and have it brought out so all I got was a tasty pasta dish. Kudos to the delivery service for kicking back the up charge for the chicken. It is not their responsibility to get the order right or to check all is there. That falls to the restaurant and they failed. I will still patronize in house but not sure how I feel about getting take out from them again.
As of June 18, 2024, Ram is permanently closed after 52 years of service! It was certainly a sad surprise to see that sign! :-(
