| - We visited One Red Door for my boyfriends B-Day this past week, what a huge disappointment. The place has a pretty cool atmosphere even though the night we went was quiet. I had a stomach ache and the bartender offered to make me a complementary drink with bitters, which was very nice. I ordered the Plantain Crusted Gulf of Mexico GROUPER / local goat cheese tamale / blistered pepperdew / lime pomegranate vinaigrette $28. It took awhile to get out food which is fine, but when it came out, the Grouper was dry and served on a bed of peppadew peppers that were supposed to have the seeds removed and stuffed with cheese, that's what blistered peppadew is, they weren't, the seeds made the dish way too hot to eat. BTW, they added leeks to this dish as well, WTH? The other major disappointment was my dish was supposed to come with a tamale stuffed with goat cheese, which never appeared on my plate even though the bartender, we ate at the bar, said it did. After a conversation and the bartender saying she was sorry that she didn't mean to be confrontational, the meal was removed from my bill and the remainder of my dinner was thrown in the trash per my request. My boyfriends meal wasn't perfect either but I'll let him tell it like it is. Needless-to-say, we won't be going back there. Definitely no Michelin Stars here.
