Review: The Gang doesn't think of Ruby Tuesday for underwater fare, but RT is having a Seafood Festival, and we love festivals.

The highlight of this seafood meal was the baked potato, but that's not so much a knock on the crustaceans as it is a rave for the perfectly baked spud, a big notch over the foil-wrapped rocks chains usually drop on your plate.

As for the Trio, there was a fair amount of jumbo lump in a small crab cake. The lobster was tasty and reasonably tender, the shrimp more skimpy than scampi. Ruby Tuesday's new Handcrafted Beer Cocktails were a highlight. The Raspberry Moon ($5), mixes Blue Moon Belgian White Ale and Chambord Black Raspberry; the Golden Moon ($5), Blue Moon and Grand Marnier.
