| - Red has brought sexy back to food.
I hadn't been here in a while, and decided to entertain a client & do dinner last night - he's a newbie to Red, so we went there.
I'd forgotten how nicely subdued and luxe the ambiance is, mellower than the Moxie side. Made it easy to relax.
Cyrus, the sommelier is great. We had a lovely full bodied red, the Muga Reserve, a rich Spanish wine. Great!
Next Artisian cheese plate, always a good warm up with the wine, just tell them what you like & they will put it on the plate for you....
Then the food came & the look of lust appeared on my guests face...his steak was about to be gone in 60 seconds. I am in love with their sides, so ordered up a bunch : parmesean tots, potatoes au grautin, chop chop salad, and the mac& cheese - so we could drool, and share.
The steak was incredible; so were the sides. Wine, fabulous. Still really reasonable for being so awesome - about $220 including 2 bottles of wine!
Just an overall wonderful dinner, I had forgotten how outright sensual & elegant Red really is. If you take a date here, I think you can bet on getting ****. Fill in your own blank. If you don't, it's not the food's fault!
XO to you Red!
