| - New Location Makes it Best Restaurant in City. Not Just Sushi.
I've been going to RED for 4.5 years, and always enjoyed it. The food is great, and it is always a lively place to unwind with friends. They've built their success on consistent, creative food + a fun atmosphere that caters to those interested in an upbeat night.
Last week, RED moved into totally new digs at the freshly renovated AT&T building on W. Washington. I've already been there twice since they opened, and can officially report its the best restaurant in the city now. The atmosphere is totally unique -barely a straight line in the entire interior design. Bold artwork, modern touch throughout, excellent music and lighting.
The new RED has an open lounge, which is perfect for a pre-dinner drink before the main event: dinner in the dining room. All of the good from old RED got transported to the new RED, plus a whole lot more.
They've also added a whole line of new menu items with their recent hire of Executive Chef Jed Spink. Jed engineered a new line of non-sushi items like a.) pork belly & scallops, b.) wagyu beef tartare, and c.) grilled grass-fed ribeye, to name a few. If you don't like sushi, but are stuck going out for sushi with everyone else that loves sushi ... new RED has you covered. By the way, those are my favorite items on the menu, plus my go-to roll..."The Dragon."
They also have added a private dining room that can seat up to 12 people. Would be perfect for larger get togethers with friends, business meetings or a special party. I think they found the right balance between privacy, but still feeling like you're part of the action in the greater restaurant area...where most people are eating.
Try it once, you'll be back!
