Maybe I'm just a diva when it comes to my Vietnamese food but this kinda fell flat for me. The first time we tried to visit Red Tigre they weren't able to seat us before an hour. The long wait makes sense- these guys can't flip tables FOR BEANS: the visit where we got bar seats it took the better part of an hour to settle up.
The food was pretty meh. As Anny said, the portions are pretty small and rather pricey for nothing exceptionally tasty. The spring and imperial rolls, despite the plating, really tasted like they do anywhere else.
Where things were ok, at least for me, was the music (mom-jean jams all night!), the space (minimally creative but cute enough), and the beer- they have a delicious partnership with Harricana where they have a Red Tigre-specific beer.
I'm sticking to my mom and pop Vietnamese places but I guess if you're dead-set on a hip pub atmosphere, this place is worth a crack.
