I have been going to this resort for the last 2 weeks, for lunch and dinner, as well as drinks occasionally. I haven't had a single employee remember me or recognize this fact. Being the most expensive restaurant in all of Salem seems odd. The crab cakes are under cooked, the A5 runs out sometimes so be prepared to have a backup entree plan, lemon drops are larger or smaller depending on the time of day or night, ice noticed their 2× bigger during lunch and brunch on Sunday.I've been placed in corners of the rest frequently, which seems rude, and you don't get service often enough in the corners, it seems as well.Coffee isn't as good as it should be. Also, having no espresso machine is downright ridiculous. This is 2024 for crying out loud.They don't serve espresso martini due to this fact and that drink is the most popular drink at this moment in time, the hottest drink at any bar around the world, missing out on tons of drink patrons for sure.Dirty silverware a couple of times, I had a $200 bottle of wine, and the waitress spilled some on the white tablecloth. She giggled and said, "Sorry about that," tisk tisk.No escargot, being that the Russian and Ukrainian population is large here, one would expect escargot and caviar to be served all day and all night. I would get them both every time I ate here, literally.I'm not bashing the restaurant or the fine humans that work there, I want an understanding that constructive criticism is a learning experience. These are all valid tips to having a fine dining experience and establishment.Another thing is there should be a deductible wireless phone charger station, these are very important and customers love thus service, you can even add a few dollars to the bill for the service of charging their phone. Everyone is addicted to their phones, and they'll gladly pay.Lobster is rubbery, not enough butter reduction, and garlic flavor needs to be upped. Complimentary bread rolls are lousy, get rid of those, also the butter is the worst, last time is was so salty I couldn't even use a little.Clam chowder isn't up to par. Chicken Alfredo has tough chicken to chew. The Tomahawk challenge should be for the 2 pound tomahawk, and that's all, not everything else I ordered with it, that makes zero sense.There are 5 menus, the lunch menu, the dinner menu, the kids menu that isn't printed often to use, the wine menu, the drink & cocktail & dessert menu. What the heck?I don't get my drinks in a timely fashion, I even wasn't given a drink menu at all until I asked a couple times, I'm a bottle drinker when I go out, usual always over $200 just in my drinks alone, I've spent $thousands on drinks at restaurants and bars just for myself and this isn't something that should be second, Start pushing the sparkling water and still bottled water, due away with the free water unless someone asks for it, and anyone who does is let a valued patron.Upgrade the dessert menu, add key lime pie for sure, and a couple of exotic items. Also, nothing beats a good bacon maple bar. ?I'm here more to help then hinder, I enjoy this place and want to see it at its full potential.Kid-friendliness: Bot a place for children, they will be bored out of their minds, also some patrons look at you with the evil eye when you have your kids present, very odd.

My family just returned home an hour drive after eating here. We were very disappointed. My adult son ordered a medium rare cheeseburger no tomatoes. He was served a rare cheeseburger with tomatoes. I ordered medium rare filet medallions it was served rare. My husband ordered prime rib sliders and didn't care for the old taste. Our server did not come back to check on us for quite sometime. So we ate what was served. We were not given the option to be seated in the dining room. We were seated in a chilly patio where the over table heater did not work. We rarely go out to dinner except special occasions and were looking forward to a nice steak dinner. We were deeply disappointed. We will not return.

The steak is fantastic of course but the lobster tale is the biggest I've ever seen and the most delicious!!
I had the driest salmon. I've ever had in any restaurant. And at half the price. Service was okay, but not eperceptional. This was the first time there, my wife and I. Our conclusion is that we would not go back.

Always a great meal here. While we live out of town, when we visit Salem, we’re always sure to spend an evening here. Evan, our server, was exceptionally helpful. He offered to decanter our bottle of wine that we had brought in from our favorite winery. He had me at, “Would you like me to decanter this for you?” Thank you for the wonderful hospitality!

Food is good, we've been coming to Rudy's since they were at the Golf course usually on our anniversary because the crab cakes were the best. But, over the years the quality of the crab cakes is not as good (more filler), they're smaller and the sauce is different. Prices are super high for a plate of food.... I guess like everyone else, which makes going out to dinner a luxury. Unfortunately, we probably won't be going back in the future.

Tonight 3/2/24 we were refused alcohol service because the "professional of 14 years" said we had a non valid ID after we've been getting served here for years (7 yrs). (Hes born in 1993 with a state issued ID). We're really embarrassed and forced to leave because we have never received this treatment here before, ever, because we always get top notch service by all the servers here! ...New guy comes around and the night was ruined completely. David is great he's one of the best around and so is Tommy. Really disappointed tonight and saddened.

I had another great experience at Rudy's tonight Sat at the bar tonight where I had incredible service from the bartender Tommy. I decided to try the fish. In the past I had steak, since this is a steak house. But the fresh salmon fillet covered in lobster sauce was amazing. The veggies and potatoes were also perfectly prepared. I had 2 incredible craft cocktails. A weller bourbon sour with a splash of mint and a spanish coffee to finish my dining experience. The bar is the best place to sit for a great experience!
The food was good, the charbroiled asparagus was better than the regular asparagus. The margarita flight on the other hand was less than desirable, every flavor tasted like a tequila shot. I would have ordered shots if that is what I wanted. I enjoyed our server Evan and I liked the pace at which they let us eat our meal without interruption. Overall I would say the atmosphere and service was better than the food itself.

Where we sat at a table for two, was a bit crowded and lots of servers and buss people bumped my chair every time they went by. We actually skooted the table back a bit and they still bumped us

The food is absolutely amazing! If you like Salmon the Salmon Neptune is one of the neat dishes I have had. All their food from soup, entrees, amd appetizers are all good! The Marionberry lemonade is our favorite non alcoholic drink! The customer service is also so good. Everyone is super nice! Severs Mari and Joshua are the best!

Over half of my party (i.e. 4 out of 7) walked away with food poisoning. As the group of us only get together for special occasions and the symptoms all came around the same time, Rudy's is the common denominator. Just giving a fair warning to all those that might go but I will not be one of those people.
