Me gustó. Ambiente tranquilo y agradable. Comida muy aceptable y buena relación calidad precio. Servicio perfecto. Merece la pena visitar la New Balance village

I arrived early for dinner reservation, and had an appetizer at the bar. Bartender was absent for long periods. Once seated, service was excellent. Generally pleasant atmosphere, restaurant filled up on a Thursday evening. Came back for a second visit a week later and had a good experience.

Came here on a weekday around 4:30PM. The place is spacious and has a sports vibe to it.

Service was great and prompt, yay!

Got the avocado toast entree (is that a thing now?), and it was filling enough for the rest of the evening. If they can be a little more generous with the avocado spread that would be amazing!

We went for family lunch on a weekend. We are seated right a way and we ordered our drinks. The food was served hot and the service was excellent. Their cocktails are the best. I recommend the dessert too.

More like a 3.5 than a 3, but can’t do halves unfortunately. The restaurant is beautiful and the food was absolutely delicious. As someone with a nut allergy, I really appreciated how they specified an item in the menu was nut free pesto! I usually always have to ask. Food was delicious. Unfortunately, the service was extremely lackluster. No one filled our water after the first glass or even gave us utensils when we sat down or when they brought the food. Luckily there was a bin outside with the sets and I could grab some myself, but I’ve never had to grab my own cutlery at a restaurant before.

One of two tables outside. Inside had some tables but not super busy. Had to go inside to ask for the check because we were forgotten about.

I would give it another try for sure based on the food and the atmosphere. Everyone has a bad day, but unfortunately as a paying patron at a restaurant, the basics for service are expected. Will update when I try again soon!

Rail Stop is a large stunningly beautiful casual bar and restaurant with good food and atmosphere.
The last time I visited was a very busy Saturday night, and had I not been here prior having had very good experiences , probably would have given it 3 stars.
The food here is normally very good, especially for the prices. On my last visit I found the food to be incredibly fresh, but lacking in flavor. The tuna in the tuna tartar was plentiful and delicious, but was bland. The salmon burger was kind of dry and also bland, as was the regular burger. The truffle fries are outstanding. I am not usually a fan of the "fake" truffle oil dishes, but their truffle fries are outstanding. They were served piping hot straight out of the fryer. The service was lacking this night, despite a very attentive restaurant manager who was actively watching everything and speaking with diners.
As I mentioned above, this place is enormous so on a busy night the Rail Stop is literally serving hundreds of people at a time. The food will likely be average and the service will be below average. Again, not for a lack of trying. If you really want to try this place at it's best, I suggest going for lunch or on a weekday night. If you are ok with the scene over food/service, I definitely wouldnt hestitate to go on a rocking night.

Love coming here, the ambiance is nice. The food is great and the price is right. I like to go check out New a balance Global Store next door then come for lunch or dinner at this restaurant. The servers are energetic and always lively. I really like looking at the bar it’s very cool. This place is good to come with a date, family, or friends. The calamari is so good, it’s my favorite!

Nice restaurant, ample seating, wait staff is very patient and helpful. Nice decor. Food is delicious. We ordered Mac n cheese and Chicken fingers for kids and they loved it. We ordered firecracker shrimp for starters, it was delicious. “Roasted Atlantic Salmon” was perfectly cooked and the white cream sauce was sweetly yummy. I also ordered “Lobster Roll” which again was very nice but the lime juice in the bread was on the higher side and was overpowering the whole lobster taste. 1 less star for that.
They have great selection of cocktails which I didn’t realize as they gave only one drink menu for our table. I realized it after ordering my beer. I wish the wait staff have given separate drinks menu or informed the guests about their cocktail selection.
Parking is available on street and in the parking garage.
Imp: right now it’s mandatory to show your vaccination card before entering, so please don’t forget it at home.
