Rigo’s and its predecessors have been at this location for many many years. He’s a well-known chef and generally does a good job. We were happy to be able to get a table at a good restaurant on short notice on Friday to celebrate two wedding anniversaries in our family. Today’s meal was very good if not spectacular. French onion soup was a bit watery, the clam sauce was very tart and the salads were average. On the plus side, however, the ribs were good, the steaks were very good, the dessert was delicious, and the service was absolutely first rate. We would certainly come back here as we have a few times a year for many years.

Diners overwhelmingly call out the signature dish as the must-order. The vibe reads as vegan restaurant — service is consistently described as warm and unhurried. Common gotcha: queues form at peak times — go early or late.

Absolutely great experience! My husband had the lamb shank, I had the half duck and we shared the escargot as an appetizer. Food was amazing, we personally did not care for sauce with lamb but the meat was tender and tasted great. The staff were friendly and attentive. The restaurant was very clean. Extremely satisfied all around. Will visit again when in the area. Highly recommend.

Had the tilapia and crab cake.. Of course with champagne sauce, excellent. 11/8/24 Back for the crab cakes in champagne sauce and crusty bread with real butter. What is stopping you from trying this restaurant? It's excellent. Rigo's special offers a chicken breast topped with a crab cake and champagne sauce. Served with a side of mashed potatoes and sautéed vegetables, it was incredibly flavorful. There's a reason it was named Rigo's special. We also had Chicken Marcella and chicken parmesan, which were quite good. The menu is much more extensive than listed online, with a list of daily specials. You owe it to yourself to try this one, many times!
