Some things to consider during your visit:

• Arrive Early for the Best Experience: Like many popular restaurants, Rutba can get quite busy during peak dining hours, so arriving earlier in the evening or making a reservation ensures you'll have a more relaxed experience with attentive service and access to the full menu.
  
  
• Ask About Seasonal Specials: The restaurant frequently introduces new seasonal menu items that may not be listed on the printed menu, so be sure to ask your server about any current specials or new dishes to get the full range of what's available during your visit.
  
  
• Portion Sizes Vary by Dish: While many dishes offer generous portions, some items may be smaller than expected, so you might want to order an extra appetizer or side if you have particularly hungry teens, or ask your server about portion sizes when ordering.
  
  
• Popular Dishes Sell Out: The restaurant's most popular items can sometimes be unavailable later in the evening, so arriving earlier in the service period gives you the best selection from the full menu.
  
  
• Limited Parking on Saint-Laurent: Finding parking on Boulevard Saint-Laurent can be challenging, especially during peak dining hours and weekend evenings, so plan to arrive with extra time to find street parking or consider using public transit via the Saint-Laurent or Sherbrooke metro stations.
