| - I go here a lot.
It probably averages out to once a week over the year, and there's a good reason for that. Oh, and they've started taking debit as well as cash, just FYI.
The service is notoriously slow. Expect that. You will get charged a gratuity and on a single bill for groups of 5+. Expect that as well. The music is sometimes bad, and sometimes very loud. There are certain food items that you will probably dislike. [Edit:] The washrooms have been redone as of Summer 2012. Before, they were not nice.
But, with all those caveats, the Red Room has a special place in my heart (read: stomach, and also wallet). I adore the pad thai from here, as well as the tuna sandwiches. Generally, you get huge portions for a minimal price. Most of the servers are very helpful, and if you actually ask them if something is good or not, they won't lead you astray. I personally like the sangria and the beer is also cheap. If you're in a rush to get going, you have the option to go up to the counter to pay.
Oh, and additionally, this is a place that will tailor your meal to a vegetarian or vegan standard and substitute things in for you to enhance your value/flavour.
All-in-all, I'm a fan. I live close-by and have taken many people to the place. Those with their nose a bit higher in the air have an opinion about it, but most people seem to enjoy themselves.
