I'm going to write one of my shortest reviews ever. Red is a steakhouse - brilliant steaks, enormous sides, great wine list. A menu similar in style to a Morton's, Ben Benson's, etc...
Simply put, Red is the only place that I've had a steak better than steaks I cook at home. I'll get a dry-aged prime ribeye from Whole Foods and cook it at about 850 degrees on my grill. Sear, flip, sear, rest, finish indirect, tent, devour. Salt and pepper are the only seasonings but it tastes like so much more after that perfect sear happens. I've had ridiculously expensive steaks at all the "best" steakhouses (read: all the well-known steakhouses), and I can make a better steak than all of them. I don't say that about much else, either.
But Red's prime NY strip, mid-rare, was mind-blowingly good IMO. This is what I expect when I'm paying $40-50 for a steak that I'd pay $20-25 for at the store and cook myself.
We had a great Norman Zinfandel (the Mephistopheles) and their donut dessert sent us home feeling appropriately ill... in a good way. A REALLY good way.
For giving me a reason to order a steak while I'm out, Red gets 5 stars from me today.
