High hopes. That's what I had for Reddstone. Maybe it was the day or just needs another shot but for now...I've experienced better. But there is potential with a great patio in the new venue location of Battery Park.
Word around the office was that this place was nice-great patio-good food. So when I saw restaurant.com had a special I bought it thinking it was worth a shot. It ended up being a nice night so we went in around 9:30 and were seated in the far corner on the patio. Lighting...none. Although I'm one for the ambiance, I'd also like to see what I'm putting in my mouth.
We started with drinks and appetizers. This was the highlight of the meal! The Hummus and the 5 Spice Beef Noodles were delicious. Out of the 5 of us 4 burgers were ordered and I ordered the Pulled BBQ Chicken Melt. I think they should consider ciabatta bread in the future. It came served on sourdough bread. Grilled mind you, but by the time it came to the table...soggy. The burgers were good size and the fries both plain and sweet potato were eh just ok in my book.
Our server was nice and attentive but at the same time it took forever for the food to arrive and one of the burgers came with sweet potato not plain fries. I'd say inexcusable for somewhere of this caliber.
I may try again...maybe for just drinks and apps. But c'mon Reddstone...step up your game!!!
