I brought my out of town boyfriend here for a date on Saturday night (12-06-08). This was our first time visiting Rathbuns and I will never go back. We made a reservation for 9:15 on a saturday night and planned our whole night around it. When we got there the place was extremely crowded, so much so that you couldn't move around in the bar. It was freezing cold every time someone opened the door and our table was 45 minutes late! The hostesses were extremely rude, and kept telling us there were 3 or 4 tables ahead of us. What's the point of a reservation then!? The bartender and waitress were both very nice. They offered us free drinks but we were so hungry we didn't want them! We finally got our food around 10:45 and it was really good. Unfortunately the place was so loud I couldn't hear anything my boyfriend was saying and we were sandwhiched in between 2 other tables. We had to move our table so the lady next to us could get out and leave. It was truly pathetic! Do not go here for a romantic date!!!!!!!!
