Since I had not been here before, I was pleasantly surprised when our dinners were brought out. It tasted as good as it looked! The rolls were hot and delicious and the croutons on the salad were light and crispy.

I was lucky enough to talk to the chef about frog legs. What I received just might be the best frog legs, ever. Oh, the crab cakes were outstanding. Definitely recommend Rakes.

Went to Rake's Place yesterday with a couple of coworkers and I was thoroughly impressed with the entire experience. It is a really cool place from the main dining area, to the wrap around bar room, to the outdoor seating with garage doors. All the decor is really cool as well. The whole place was really clean and just looked really sharp. The food was fantastic. Everything came out quick and was absolutely delicious. Beyond that the people were just awesome. Staff was very freindly and attentive. We met with Michelle at the end and she was awesome! It's easy to tell the culture in here is incredibly strong and everyone is very proud of the guest experience they deliver. Will be back even though it's far away!

The food and service was excellent. Our server took care of us so well as we weren't used to this. This was my first visit, and my wife had been here with friends from work. There is plenty of room for bigger groups and a good number of food choices.

Fresh ahi tuna with wasabi cream sauce for my friend. Brussel sprouts are divine. I had the veggie pasta with spinach & cherry tomato in parm cream sauce. Yummy!

Free standing building. Lots of available parking on site and across the street parking. Great food and spirits. Friendly staff and owner was fantastic! Highly recommend the frog legs... scrumptious, with a bottle of Red! A great to go place for family and friends to gather and enjoy a wonderful menu and full service bar. Outside seating available as well as inside dining. Bon appetite and Godspeed everyone!
