   A wonderful dining experience. Service was superb. The food--the flatbread, pasta, and the chicken parmesan are standouts.

   Food and service were both excellent. The lamb shank with butternut squash risotto was superb. The sticky toffee pudding was perfect. I highly recommend and will return again on my next trip to San Diego.

   The waiter took our order without writing it, then forgot part and asked later. Then brought muscles instead of clams; didn’t serve salad, then after our rejecting entree, wanting salad, brought salad and entree together. But we were having a great visit and he was sweet so all is forgiven. It might not always be that way. THE FOOD was wonderful!! And the restaurant is very nice. Maybe add some sort of ceiling texture to absorb sound. We’re coming again!!

   Went for a Father’s Day lunch with my dad and I couldn’t have had more of a better experience. The waiter was extremely patient with my father and made us confident in our food choices. My dad kept saying how great the food was and let me know it was the best Father’s Day lunch he’s ever had. Thank you!

   Wonderful host/waiters albeit slightly short staffed on Sunday for lunch. Restaurant side was mostly full. Seating was comfortable, both the appetizers and main dishes portions were plentiful and tasty. Parking was on the street; got a space just a block away so it was no problem. Glad we stopped by.

    It’s such a lovely place. Amazing service, pleasant ambiance. Some of the dishes we ordered where nice, some unmemorable and one we had to send back. But, we will go back! The way our issues where handled and overall amazingness of the staff was the best we had lately.

    Was seated in bar area next to bathroom. Food was okay but definitely overpriced. I wasn’t blown away by the taste or presentation. My server didn’t refill my drink after I asked him and had to remind him. Definitely not recommending this place to anyone. It’s too expensive for what you get.

    My husband and I love to dine at the Red Door. The atmosphere is always positive and is very relaxed, yet, with a strong thread of excitement woven through the tables of expectation, the expectation of knowing the meal is going to be exactly what you want to eat, regardless of what you order. Chef cares about every dish he creates. All the ingredients are fresh and complement each other. So very pleasing to the palate. The platings are simple yet elegant. And it's always a highlight when he stops by each table for a warm greeting to his patrons and to see what they are ordering. Wishing them a sincere thank you for choosing The Red Door. There is a comfort in the warm aromas that waft from the kitchen. The staff are welcoming and pleasant.....very professional and quite good at reading the table. They understand the menu, and give helpful advise. Last week, we were celebrating a birthday. We were given a romanic table, and were treated with a lovely surprise of just the right amount of a dessert at the end of our meal, finishing a perfect evening. Thank you Red Door for always making our dining experience a wonderful one.

    Our food was delicious. We had the mussels and brussel sprout salad, lobster ravioli and beef wellington. Everything was SO fresh. They served our food on uberly heated plates. We ate our meal leisurely and enjoyed it at a warm temp the entire time. We brought our wine, which they decanted and served without hesitation. The servers were attentive, but not overly. Chef Luciano came out to see how we enjoyed out meal. Nice touch Chef. Great little place.

    Exquisite dining: great service . Intimate setting. Scallops were amazing: I generally do not care for risotto, but my wife had basil Risotto with a perfectly cooked fish fillet that has made me a believer. Chef Luciano gets a triple “Bravo” from us!!

    We went here for my birthday. Service was great and there was live music. Food was fantastic and our waitress was great. It is a bit pricey but I think it is well deserved for the quality of food and service. Highly recommend this place for drinks with friends, dates, or if you are trying to impress someone. Can’t wait to go back and try their other dishes

Luciano and staff are hospitable and accommodating, except that this time we couldn't sit at our most favorite table though i had made the reservation quite early in the month. However, GO. EAT.

    Wow, we cannot say enough positive things about The Red Door! This was our second visit and we brought family from out of town to join us. From the moment we arrived the experience was fantastic. We were greeted, table was ready, and server was knowledgeable and helpful with all menu items from cocktails to dessert. The. Food. Was. Outstanding!! We each had something different (seafood to venison) and had to try each other’s meals because they were incredible. The chef and owner came to our table to our table 3 times over the course of the night to discuss the food options and ensure we were happy with our meals- and oh my goodness we absolutely were! The pride and enjoyment the chef takes in selecting, preparing, and knowing his guests are enjoying his creations is overwhelming obvious. We will continue to dine at The Red Door for years to come.
