| - This was my first time at Red Rocks Cafe. This weekend I met up with some friends from college in Charlotte, and we headed over to Red Rocks for dinner.
We sat outside on the patio, where we received excellent service from both of the waitresses outside. The manager even came around twice. I ordered a glass of Moscato, which arrived in a big, tall wine glass. Very refreshing. My friends were pleased with their mixed drinks.
The menu is large, and a bit overwhelming for those who have never been. For my meal, I ordered Chet Snow's Salmon. I was able to substitute garlic smashed potatoes for the wild rice with no problem. The dish came out beautifully. The salmon was placed upon the garlic smashed potatoes with the lemon dill sauce on top of the salmon. The green beans were placed to the side. The salmon was cooked very well, with a slight crust all around, but still tender inside. The lemon dill sauce complimented the salmon very well. The garlic smashed potatoes were excellent-not too salty or garlic-y. The green beans had been blanched I believe; they were bright green and cooked, but still retained that firm bite when you crunched into them.
Overall, the next time I'm in Charlotte, I wouldn't mind returning to Red Rocks Cafe.
