RJ Mexican Cuisine

The West End is packed with tourist-trapping restaurants; this isn’t one of them. Executive chef Ronald Von Hatten’s menu focuses on tweaked regional Mexican food, including gordita and queso fundido appetizers, with a little Tex-Mex (e.g., chimichangas and fajitas) thrown in to appease the natives. Make no mistake, however, the latter truly is lip service. […]

Rockfish Seafood Grill

This sibling to Shell’s seafood restaurants represents the best of the bunch. Great peel-and-eat shrimp and steamed crab. Terrific casual family dining.

Since 2005, the Rockin Rodeo has been drawing anyone with a taste for cheap beer, country music and square dancing.

Derry’s kitchen serves up Southern fare inspired by her Louisiana roots, and traditional and modern takes are brilliantly blended together by Derry and her […]

This could be because the decor in many of its 191 tastefully appointed guest rooms haven’t been updated in several years; then again, it could also be because of its proximity to a plethora of fancy-schmancy shopping and dining destinations. Nobu, Palomino, Arcodoro y Pomodoro, Stanley Korshak […]

Roti Grill

Fast food has sped to a higher life form: Indian. Imagine takeout ventilating from the sack with clove, cumin and coriander on its breath. Imagine a plastic clamshell steaming with lamb balti, tandoori chicken and vegetable masala with a side of vegetable samosas or exotic hot wings. Now groom your lip with a cool mango […]
