Reviews for The Red Door in San Diego, CA
I went with a large group of 9 which they easily accommodated in the smaller space by combining tables. The servers worked... together to ensure the food came efficiently to our table. The appetizers were well done and delicious. The main courses wereample in size and in some cases were fit for two. The seafood pasta was delicious with the squid ink pasta made fresh. I verymuch enjoyed it! I would definitely return. Read more
Beautiful restaurant! The Chicken Parmigian was amazing, and the chef asked every guest how their food was. The entertainment... was Elliott Lawrence, an incredible jazz guitarist. A wonderful night out! Read more
A nice little restaurant that was packed on a Monday. The Brussels to start were good, but could have used a little sauce of... some type of maybe some balsamic? Just felt like there was something missing. The beef Wellington was excellent and cookedperfectly. The puff pastry was flaky and held together while cutting through the beef. The wine selection had several options bythe glass to ensure you could find something to suit your needs without buying a bottle. The only downfall was how hot therestaurant was. Sweating while eating is not a good feeling, only reason it's 4 rather than 5 stars. Read more
Where do I start? We loved our waiter, the appetizer, entrees and desserts. Beets, Beef Wellington, Lamb Shank, lava cake and... banana cream pie. Enjoyed every bite. The portions we perfect and generous. We really appreciated the fact that the chef / ownertook the time to come check in on his guest throughout our meal. We’ll definitely be back soon. Read more
I had been wanting to go to this restaurant for a while but for one reason or another we couldn't make before. Today, my husband... and my 3 year old son were in the area and decided to make a reservation last minute. We got there probably about 30min earlierand they were so nice to greet us earlier. As soon as we were by the door you can feel the great energy from all the staff. Theywere incredibly attentive and presented many options for dinner since they knew that it was our first time. I'm not sure howbusy it is during the weekends but going on a Wednesdays evening was a perfect choice for us since we had a little one with us.This is the kinda place you go for a birthday, a date night, celebrations with family, friends or just because you want anamazing dinner. The atmosphere is very tranquil and you almost feel like you are having dinner at home because how cozy andwelcoming this place is. As an interior designer I have to say the restaurant itself is so unique, it is American farmhousestyle with a very chic classic touch. Loved the little accents, and the vintage lamps create an elegant ambiance. The layout ofthe restaurant, again, feels very homely and flows naturally with a curved window that points at the main street, if you arelucky you might see the sunset from your seat. Moving on to the food, the magical piece of this place! We had steak and searedtuna with risotto. I rarely eat potatoes, specially with steak, but the potatoes were the star of this dish. The blanc sauvignonwas crisp and fruity. Probably the best two dishes I had all over San Diego even though we always order steak and tuna in everyother restaurant. There are some really amazing restaurants in SD but something always doesn't add up. At this place, everythingwas great, the staff is incredibly professional and the chef came to our table to ask us about the food, you can tell he trulycares about this restaurant and his customers. Also, I woukd like to add that we didn’t have dess Read more
Amazing, flavorful, delicious food!! Service is always friendly and welcoming! A true jem in San Diego (especially If you love... beef Wellington). Halibut w/ Pesto basil risotto was out of this world! Their fried kale is better then any potato chips orfries we have ever had!! Read more
I wish I could add a sixth star! This place is Amazing! Authentic Italian executive level chef. Everything tasted spectacular.... And we'll priced. Unlike steakhouse du jour where you pay through the nose this feels like you're getting a deal...can'trecommend enough! Read more
Tried the recommended dishes from beef, risotto, Burrata, steak etc. I unfortunately have to say that none of the dishes spoke... to me. While they were incredibly expensive ($120 for a 22oz steak) the taste were quite disappointing. The only thing that wasbetter was the calamari for appetizer and their risotto. Anything else I’d skip. We paid $100 per person and I left quitedisappointed. I wouldn’t come back or recommend this place Read more
