Opera Night on October 19th was once again a truly special evening! The food and service were excellent, as they have been throughout our many years of attending. We especially loved the variety of courses, along with the outstanding food and wine selections. The singers were exceptional and wonderfully engaging with the guests. As musicians ourselves, we truly appreciate the quality of the performances and the artistry that makes this event so memorable. Thank you for another wonderful evening of music, fine dining, and outstanding hospitality. We look forward to returning!

From start to finish this restaurant was amazing. The staff was very friendly and once they found out we were there for our wedding dinner they made it more special. The actors that walk around are very friendly and funny. Very interactive place all together. The food was amazing we ordered other plates to go home with and they still tasted just as fresh!

Get the grilled avocado, the Wagyu short ribs and the Japanese milk bread!! You wont be disappointed. And ask for Marleina- she is so fun and a great waitress. Chef Whalen and crew have amazing dishes- you probably cant go wrong with anything on the menu. The entire staff is great and the ambiance is wonderful.

Been here several times, but had a particularly great experience this time with Madisyn taking amazing care of us; she was so friendly, attentive, and accommodating throughout our entire visit. Great service can honestly feel hard to come by these days, so it really stands out when you get someone who genuinely makes your experience better. Madisyn definitely did that for us. We look forward to returning and hopefully receiving the same great service.

This was our first time at RED. We both ordered the filet mignon. The filets were seasoned perfectly and were cooked exactly as ordered, medium-rare. There was a perfect sear on the outside. The service was top notch. The ambiance was just how we like it, a little dark and some great 70’s music playing. We let our server, Bo, know that we were celebrating our birthdays. We were treated with delicious warm beignets to take home. We will definitely be back!

    We have been coming to this restaurant for the past 25+ years, probably more than a dozen visits, and we have always walked away raving about the quality of the food and service. Tonight was no exception. Everything we had from Tommy’s Tomato Salad to the fresh fish selection to the veal Parmesan and beyond was prepared perfectly and tasted delicious. A special treat is always having a conversation with the owner and executive chef, Terry Tarantino, who makes the rounds of the tables serving up his own version of Cacio d’Pepe. It would be a disappointment to miss him and his hat. Lucky for us, he was there to oversee the goings on, as usual. The Little Italy neighborhood location, too, is a delight. Take some time and walk around while you are there. Tip: opt for Little Italy valet parking or expect to walk some distance from whatever parking spot you can find nearby.
