RT's Restaurant

A Mount Vernon Avenue fixture since 1985, RT's earned a spot on the Forbes Top 50 Southern Restaurant list while keeping the easy cadence of a local haunt. Inside, wooden paneling, black booths, and Mardi Gras decorations set an upbeat backdrop around the bar and dining floor. The kitchen stretches beyond standard tavern fare with dishes like baked shrimp with lump crab, salmon with horseradish cream sauce, and house beignets. For private gatherings, the dedicated Sonny Callahan Room accommodates up to 40 guests.
