| - I came here for dinner with a bunch of my girlfriends and heard good things about this place. Unfortunately, after arriving I was disappointed. Upon walking in, the restaurant was completely empty for a Saturday night. Don't get me wrong, the ambiance of the restaurant was lovely and sophisticated. But I only saw a couple of tables occupied by the patio so I figured that's where the girls were. I was late meeting up with them and I wasn't approached by the waiter for anything to drink for a good 15-20 minutes. Luckily, I was only there to get a drink, but again, I did not get a glass of water to start. Once I ordered my drink, the food arrived for the group. Everything that they ordered was delicious. Obviously, I'm going to sneak a bite of the food! They had the Steamed Edamame, Thai Lettuce Wraps (which I did not particularly enjoy), Crispy Roasted Chicken and the Roasted Pork Tenderloin and Potato Gnocchi. After everyone finished their food, I asked the waiter where the washroom was, and he literally responded with 'well if you follow that guy walking, you'll find the washrooms'.. Ummm okay? You work here and you can't instruct me on where to go to get to the washrooms? After returning from the washroom, we wanted to order a round of drinks for the table. We waited and waited and waited until finally 20-30 minutes later, the waiter takes our orders for drinks. Then we had to wait another 15-20 minutes for our drinks to arrive. After trying to wave down the waiter to get our bills, we decided we'd all go to the bar to pay as we were in a rush to leave. I didn't understand why the restaurant was so empty on a weekend and why it takes forever to get the waiters attention. The food was delicious but the service was terrible.. Depending on how I feel I may or may not come back. But let me warn you in advance, if you're in a rush for dinner, do not even bother with Red's. Red flags everywhere!
