It was a combo effort ;-)

I would tell them to take 495 toward the silver-spring side (not towards the wilson bridge) and then take 29 toward silverspring (aka colseville rd). RTC is on that road.

Speaking of specials....I did take advantage of the Chateaubriand special way back when it was offered. However my question is does anyone know of any current specials going on at RTS? My girlfriend and I are thinking of dining there friday night before seeing The Departed! (heard it was great!) -Omesh

I forgot to mention that Michael graciously gave us complimentary desserts to try....I think my girlfriend now likes HIM more than ME! They were delicious - i know - shocking. We've both had a fiending for steak, so perhaps we'll go visit RTS this week....though I'm not sure what Michael will wear now that it's starting to get chilly. You can only wear sandals and shorts and hawaiian shirts for so long! -Omesh

This is an overly delayed review of RTC... so I'll keep it short and simple. Coming from the N.VA area, and a frequenter of RTS, my girlfriend and I decided to venture to Silver Spring to try the new RTC. At first I was shocked at the decor, very classic and warm to the eyes. I enjoyed the small touches such as the decanter on the decanter-stand placed on the tables when we ordered a bottle of wine. I had to explain to my girlfriend why decanting a young wine is advantageous and she was impressed that RTC did this. We started off with sausage biscuits apps and salds due to the overwhelming raving from the DR 'posse.' Simply stated - Tasty. Very Tasty. Excellent! My gf had the crab bisque since we loved the version at RTS. I tasted some and I must admit it did taste a little different than the batch at RTS... I actually prefer the bisque at RTS over RTC (atleast on that particular night). For our main dishes, she had the veal which she said was delicious and tender. I had steak! of course! I wanted so badly to try the bacon wrapped scallops but my love for the well prepared steaks drew me in *sigh.* Maybe next time!! While chatting with Michael, I couldn't help poke fun at the fact he was wearing a suit! He told us about some sides we should try, and even gave us a taste sample! The mashed potatoes were great! If you haven't tried it yet, go go go to RTC and try some of the NEW dishes - even though I'm sure the Steaks will lure you in like they did to me. I wish I had time to write more, but now my stomach is grumbling with the thought of good food.... [food hunt time] -Omesh
