    Wonderful old school ambience and fantastic food. Little by little these types of places seem to have disappeared during or shortly after COVID. Discovering Red's was a welcome coincidence after trying to make reservations somewhere else that was closed on a Sunday. A little on the pricey side but well worth it for a special occasion. Be advised that there is only valet parking.

    Way too noisy in bar area & room next to the main bar. This was on Saturday night. Would need to get a table in the back room in the future, otherwise you cannot have a conversation with your date/ guests.

    This restaurant features it’s prime rib and well they should. Prepared extraordinarily well it was a perfect meal. While many other restaurants have sacrificed service after the pandemic that is not the case at Red Tracton’s . The service was impeccable!! It was a lovely evening with a magnificent meal.

    Everyone expects the ridiculous amount of food. No surprise there. But it was overall a lousy dinner. Manhattan chowder watery and tasteless. Salad way overdressed. Fried chicken was pretty good. Vegetables were a boring embarrassment. French fries cold. Etc.

    Tracton’s was a disappointment to us for perhaps the first time. Reservation was honored as always. Waitress was pleasant and drinks were very good. We ordered when our cocktails were delivered and asked the waitress to pace our meal. Before we had finished a piece of delicious bread or had two sips of our drinks, our salad arrived—Tracton’s special salad was perfect, like always. Dinner arrived before we finished eating our salad. The prime rib (ordered medium rare) was medium to medium well and very dry. We had ordered a loaded baked potato and were served a twice baked one instead. Didn’t even get to order a glass of wine with dinner as our drinks were just getting finished and no servers appeared from which we could order. We were in and out of Tracton’s in less than fifty minutes. Very disappointing experience.

    Their lobster bisque is the best I have ever had and I have had some great ones over the years. I am typically disappointed when ordering an expensive steak at restaurants because I can cook a better steak at home but Red Tracton is one of the exceptions. Their steaks are wonderful. The live music is fun and their wine list is reasonably priced.

    A classic San Diego steak house that is a hot spot for those attending the horse races at the Del Mar race tracks. Close the tracks so when the races are finished this restaurant is full so make reservations. In addition to the great steaks they have amazing Alaskan crab legs and creamed corn. If you want to keep the party going pop into the bar for some music and after dinner drink.

    Fabulous food, as always. French onion soup and Manhattan Clam Chowders were fabulous. Ribeye steaks cooked to perfection, everything couldn’t be more perfect at Red Tractons. Katy, our waitress, was so brave to come & serve us despite battling Hurricane Hilary, as we’re all the other folks there. Fabulously chef, and gracious Maitre de. Thank you for making a memorable evening.

    The evening didn’t end well!! We were asked to leave so they could have our table for other guests. We still had about 1/4 left of our drinks in front of us. We were shocked and uncomfortable, we were only going to stay for a few more minutes. We left a good tip and I’m sorry we did. We should have said “sorry, NO tip and thanks for asking us to leave. L.

    Unfortunately, we had a very rude waitress that gave us extremely poor service. Several items never arrived and some of the orders were wrong. We pretty much ate what we got because we didn’t want to have to wait since it was already taking so long in the first place… Overall not a very good experience. We have been there many times but this was a big let down, especially for a group that was spending $1500!

    Food tasted great eventually, very loud environment to the point we couldn’t have a conversation at our table. Service left to be desired, especially on our special occasion (75th birthday). Part of the order was wrong, we had to send the steak because it was not cooked as ordered. Asked twice for candles for the birthday occasion, until our server brought them. We expected higher quality service for the prices. Not sure if we will return, due to the ambiance and partially due to the service.
