Had a great experience for dinner there the food was fantastic. Service was great. Went for brunch the next day. Service was not as attentive. I ordered The biscuits and gravy. It was okay. The biscuits were too had and my eggs came out overcooked.

First time eating at Rhapsody and it was a great time. Food was great (chicken sandwhich, risotto and meatloaf). Great live jazz music. Loved the concept. Short distance from OU and Hocking Hills. Will be back.

The perfect place for date night! I went to celebrate my 2 year anniversary and the food was absolutely amazing, one of the best burgers I've ever had! If you can go on jazz night it creates the perfect atmosphere.

Found this little gem on our trip to hocking hills. Ribeye was absolutely amazing! Bang Bang Shrimp was crispy and was super tasty! The strip was money, fish and chips wowed a son, and the other said the smash burger was delish! So hard to please everyone and everyone was PLEASED! The live music was the perfect loudness and really added to the atmosphere. If we are EVER near this restaurant again, WE WILL STOP IN!!!

4 of us stopped in for our first visit and were extremely impressed. Great atmosphere and staff. All the dinners were great. Scallops, fish and chips, bang bang chicken, and lamb shank. The unique sides complemented the mains very well. The entire evening was A+

Went with my wife and a friend. We went right at open on a Saturday night. We didn’t reserve a table (our fault), and kindly asked if we could just wait or make a later reservation. The hostess asked if we would mind sitting at the bar, we told her sure. She went and asked the bartender if it was ok and from the look and body language the bartender gave it absolutely was not ok for us to sit at the bar. The hostess lead us to the bar and dropped us off. A few minutes later the bartender came and asked if what we wanted to drink (zero introduction), bartender was visibly upset my wife wasn’t sure what to order for a drink. She asked if my wife needed more time and my wife said yes. Bartender promptly made the two drinks and then ten minutes later came back and said “are you ready to order your drink now?” Wife orders and we tell her we are ready to order our food. Ordered our entrees and waited. Now we are in zero hurry to eat or anything. We are food service workers ourselves and understand all the ins and outs of the business. The wait for the food was quite some time. For the price of items I would have expected stuff to be made from scratch. Like the pasta? I mean if your gonna charge $28 for spaghetti and meatballs you should maybe make the pasta in house. I’m not gonna knock the food too much but the prices you pay absolutely do not reflect what you receive. Our bill for two entrees and one alcoholic beverage and tip was $85. No salad, no appetizer, no free bread for the table or anything. Regardless it’s not bad but it ain’t great. The bartender might want to reconsider a career change or just fake it and smile instead of being rude. She literally looked us up and down when the hostess asked if we could sit. Anyway food was 3/5 too expensive for what you get. Bartender/server was rude and shouldn’t be around any student learning her bad habits. Wish I could give a name but we never saw a name tag.

Came here for our 10 year anniversary and didn't have the best experience. My wife's food overall was salty, she had ordered a rare steak (steak was medium at most) and shrimp scampi with fries. About halfway through the steak my wife had found bits of plastic in her melted butter. I ordered the fish and chips and my fries were cold and my fish was so battered it looked like a fish corndog with a little bit of raw batter inside. We were also the first ones inside and the first to order. The interior was nice with candles on the tables and lowlights. Our server was kind and answered any question we had.

We ate here for a belated anniversary dinner. Both of us thought the food was simply amazing. Unpretentious, flavorful, and decent portions.I had the pork chop with a corn and mushroom cream sauce, sweet potato croquettes, and grilled veggies, while my wife had linguini alfredo and we shared a salad.It was a Friday night and the musician was a very talented jazz guitarist. For a last minute call, we were able to get in.We will be back. I promise, we *will* be back!

Great meal. Had the New York strip. Tender and cook to perfection. Also the cheesecake was superb. Also had a Woodford Reserve old fashioned that was spot on. Kelcie did a super job.

The menu was very modern and diverse. The plating was very aesthetic and the food was well prepared and very balanced in flavors and seasoning. The server was positive, attentive, and professional.

Highly recommend the slab salad. Had the red snapper that was a bit chewy, but the flavor was good. Service was excellent and Saturday singer was very nice and not too loud for conversation. Family member said the strip steak was excellent.

We arived early for our reservation and were seated promptly. My wife ordered the bang chicken and it was excellent. I wanted to order something different and asked our waitress for her opinion of three menu items I was considering. She recommended the Salmon but described a preferred way than described on the menu that it could be prepared. It was soy sesame that was delicious and melt in your mouth accompanied by the rice. Every meal we have had at Rapsody has been excellent!
