Rat's is a lovely experience and I recommend it. Set in the amazing Grounds for Sculpture, it is fashioned on a setting in Wind in the Willows. Wine list is super. Cocktail list good, though I'd avoid the maple Manhattan. Food is tasty and very good, but not authentic to the traditional recipes, more a catering school spin. For example, coq au vin should have the chicken pieces cooked in the wine rather than separately cooked and coated with a gravy sauce. Tasty, but not "correct". Nevertheless. We will be back for more.

Very cool experience but food was just B+ or 3.5 ?. Escargot was good. Coq au Vin was just ok. That's a dish that deserves some love when making. I think maybe this restaurant needs to shift its menu just a bit.

The food was great,I had a double cheese burger with French cheese and I'd say it was good..Parking: This restaurant rest in the middle of "Gounds For Sculptures" or GFS for short..def a place to take the family..the art there is absolutely breathe taking.

We had a gorgeous birthday celebration at Rat’s restaurant and were well taken care of. The Barramundi sea bass dish was a big hit with everyone who ordered it. The timing was good as well. There were some gaps in service that are typical since Covid- a sort of lack of experience and fine dining service quality that makes one miss the good old days, but which is easily made up for with warmth and sincerity.Thanks for a lovely evening!

I've eaten at this restaurant before and have had wonderful meals. This time I ordered stuffed cabbage. It had very little flavor and was very dry.I think it was stuffed withcauliflwer, which didn't quite make it. Everything else was great.

Amazing food, beautiful restaurant, great service. I had the braised short rib and it was amazing. My companion had the coq au vin and was a little less impressed but still very much enjoyed it.

I was at a baby shower at this location. The service, the food and the atmosphere were amazing. Looking at going back to try the restaurant for either lunch or dinner sometime.
Spectacular experience! We went before the Night Forms exhibit at Grounds for Sculpture - such an amazing time!

Dinner at Rats was very disappointing. We were there to celebrate a special occasion and were embarrassed on behalf of our guests by the experience. We waited for 15 minutes for our table despite having a reservation. We waited 30 minutes for our cocktails to be served, at least one of which was not made correctly; every item we ordered was a culinary disappointment. The mezze appetizer was tasteless hummus with some crackers and olives; the salad was wilted; the cauliflower main dish was some cold roasted cauliflower. The food was not presented attractively. Our server was polite and apologized several times for the many delays. When we told a friend that we were planning to eat there (last time we ate there was about 10 years ago), she warned us that the food was now terrible. We should have listened to her; we will not be eating there again.
