While the RUE is normally closed on Sundays and Mondays we change it up every year during the last half of December opening for 4 additional shifts to be of service to you and your holiday celebrations. During each shift we are able to accommodate 2 parties with up to12 guests (select times). There is additional availability for smaller gatherings throughout each shift. If your company is dark on Sundays join us. Gather up a group of girlfriends for a Monday evening supper. Consider giving us a call to see what we can do to suit your needs. ”
