Ruggles Black Restaurant - Houston

Sat at the bar and Robert was taking care of us. He made amazing drinks for us. You MUST try one of his specials. The food was served quickly and was cooked perfectly. I will be back!

The service and ambiance here was excellent. The menu was very well rounded. We got filet mignon and Royal Red Shrimp to share with salads, sauteed garlic mushrooms and baked potato. There were baskets of a variety of breads and two kinds of butter. Truffles were provided at the end of the meal. It was a beautiful dining experience!

Outstanding food and atmosphere, however our server was lacking in her serving skills. I waited for 25 minutes to get a glass of unsweet ice tea, we were seated for 40 minutes before we received our bread basket and she reached across my plate on two occassion to remove unused silverware.

Service was very slow considering we were one of the few tables there but the incredibly helpful hostess Lauren made up for it. The food was pretty good.

The only complaint was the oysters were very tiny with too much of a salty taste. They were not very good at all in comparison with many other restaurants of lower quality service. The service was fine. The atmosphere was very nice. The cost was a bit higher than most but everything else was to contentment.
