This is the 2nd time we came here for the summerlicious lunch.
1st time - service was fast and food was great!
2nd time - service was slow and food was okay...
There were 8 of us and we made reservations ahead of time. Despite coming here on a friday, this place appeared pretty quiet and the service was quite slow.
Appetizers: I got the Shrimp Gazpacho Salad - there were slivers of shrimp in a cocktail glass. It was okay... nothing to write home about. There was a lot of thousand island dressing on it
Main: Pan Seared Trout - portions were decent but i thought the fish was kinda fishy... It also needed some lemon but there were none provided on the plate.
Dessert: Chili Chocolate Pot de Creme - the chili was overpowering... everybody made a face on the first bite. I didn't end up finishing mine as it was just a bit too strong.
Ambiance - nice, dark and has a rustic feel. They also have a patio area if you don't mind sitting on the sidewalk....
Overall: I like Reds midtown - it's less pretentious than the one in the financial district, but I like the food better at the other location.
