| - Living in the area, I would consistently walk by this place on a daily basis, and would always admire their patio :p So, for my birthday, I decided to dine here. Ps- i give it a 4.5!
Got a nice, cushioned patio seat, with a huge umbrella to protect from any rain/sun, and a barrier of flowers and plants to provide some privacy from people walking by on the street.
Decided to opt out of getting an app, solely because I wanted to enjoy my main, and I knew I'd be getting dessert on the house, which obviously I wanted to save room for
First we got our drinks, I ordered a maple bacon bourbon; a lot stronger than I anticipated! Cost $12. For mains, I ordered the pork tenderloin with gnocchi, and my boyfriend chose a peppercorn steak with a side of mashed potatoes. We also split a tiny side of fries. We waited a reasonable amount of time for our food to come, nothing below or above average.
The quantity of food for me was perfect. Just enough so I could finish it all and not be left overly full! I should warn tou though, I do not have the worlds biggest appetite, so if you think of yourself as being a big eater, consider ordering an app on top of your meal.
In terms of taste, I really didn't have anything to complain about! The pork was cooked perfectly: nice and tender, not dried out AT ALL! The gnocchi were a little al dente, but I don't mind my pasta being on the harder side. The pasta could've used a liiitttllee more sauce, but no biggy.
The flourless cake went above my expectations! It came with cashews, a banana and chocolate mousse, and they even wrote "happy birthday " in chocolate sauce on the plate they served it to me on! It was enough for us to share after the meals we just consumed!
Through getting the dessert for free, ended up spending about $60 for both of us before tip. Not too shaby considering we went out with the intention of having a classier/pricier meal.
If you're looking for a place to go out to celebrate a bit more of a special occasion, I would recommend giving Red's a shot. The ambiance of the place is quite nice (makes you feel like a fancy person for dining there haha), and their menu offers quite a variety of choices, so you can't really go wrong! :)
