RT's Restaurat

For my personal essay, I decided to write about something that means a lot to me. This object would definitely have to be "RT's" Restaurant. This place has marked miletstones in my life. I decided to take an excerpt from my essay to describe my passion for this place. Their unique menu features many Creole and Cajun specialties. This "Little Gem" has an extensive special list that changes on a weekly basis. Some of the mouth-watering dishes they offer are “Jack Daniel’s Shrimp”, “Spicy Pecan Crusted Haddock”, “Spicy Crawfish with Red Beans and Rice”, “Jambalaya Sautee”, and “Shrimp Diane”. I have only ordered one thing on the menu since the first time I have gone there, but I am sure anything one were to order would be exquisite. My meal of choice would definitely be a cup of sea crab soup for my appetizer. For my entrée, I would order a filet mignon topped with crab meat and béarnaise sauce (Oscar style) and a Shirley temple, which I’ve been ordering since I was five to drink. A Shirley temple is a Sprite or 7-up type of style soda mixed with a cherry sauce which is my favorite drink of all time. Then for desert, I would have chocolate mousse which has fine dark chocolate shreddings on top. This is the perfect meal for me. When I leave the restaurant, I am indulged in the best way possible. This restaurant is very different from any other dining environment I’ve ever been in. I often crave the food while here in Mississippi and cannot wait to go here with my family when I return for Thanksgiving break. This restaurant serves a purpose and that is to fulfill the desires of their community. I would say they do what they are paid to do but with a genuine smile on their faces. The majority of people who live in Virginia know “RT’s” and I can say 99% of those who have eaten there had nothing to complain about, except maybe the price they have to pay for a one-of-a-kind meal experience.
