    This is our third time going. I had the Beef Marsala and hubby had the chicken Alfredo. Absolutely delish. Great service from Logan. Good wine selection. The desserts are heaven.

    My waitperson was superb. He quickly recognized how I wished to be served and adapted beautifully. The tomato bisque was excellent as always. My seafood linguine was flavorful but slightly dry. The chocolate desert was just ok. This is one of the best restaurants in town. I've had many fine meals here.

    We were in Kerrville for a weekend trip and tried Rails. They prepare and serve really great food and generous portions for the price. Where can you have a nice, healthy-leaning, fresh meal for 2 with a glass of wine, a beer and 2 desserts for $100+tip? We will definitely be back on future trips.
