| - Best thing about Red Rocks? The diversity of the menu. For being only two pages, there's a pretty large selection and the choices are rather eclectic. Comfort food, Italian food, seafood, vegetarian, lots of salads, and even some pretty casual, but fancy sandwiches.
The atmosphere is nice. It's fancy enough so that I feel inclined to wear a dress instead of yoga pants, ha. I love the drum shade lighting and all the booths. I just wish the decor had a little more personality, to give it less of a "chain restaurant" look.
The smartest thing the owners do is entice you with dessert before you even eat, by having all their fresh baked good on display as you enter. Remember how good those look as you walked in, but you're too stuffed to have anything else now? Good luck with that will power... After you finish your meal, the waiters bring out a tray with a slice of each cake on display. They describe in detail each piece. Yeah, I can never resist. So I usually get a piece to take home.
My favorite dishes here?
Appetizers: Parmesan Potato Cakes, Queso-Spinach Dip, and the Homemade Potato chips. I guarantee you won't be disappointed by any of these!
Salad: Small Baby Field Greens (pine nuts, goat cheese and craisins.. YES!)
Pastas: Walnut and Spinach Ravioli, and Quarto Fromaggio Penne (minus the meat of course)
Sandwiches: Portabella Mushroom Melt
FYI: It's much nicer and quieter here on a week day/night. Sometimes the weekends can be crowded and annoying.
Would probably come here more if the prices were just a bit lower.
