Traveling the country as I do, I look forward to certain restaurants in places where I frequent. RT's is THE place for me when I'm in Alexandria or around DC. The Crawfish beignets and She-crab bisque are alone worth the trip. I can't recall any New Orleans quality cajun/creole restaurants outside of Louisiana that do justice to the cuisine except... more

I read a lot of good reviews about this place on other travel sites and decided to take my fiance there for valentine's day. Things didn't look good from the start. We got lousy seats by the entranceway, it took 15 minutes before someone came to wait on us, and the complimentary bread was dry and tasteless. I kept telling... more

Nothing says a great night out like dinner at RT's. This is one of the best local restaurants in the area, and it's off the radar of all the people who tend to overrun the wonderful places. Great service, great food - moderate prices. Think upscale Cajun/Southern and you're on the right track. Heck of a good bar and you... more
