Positives and Negatives things to say.Great service and delicious cocktails. The pappardelle was the best I’ve ever had, and the flatbread was really good too. However, the calamari was a disaster, soggy, chewy, the tiniest portion I have ever seen, and overpriced. ( the kale was good, but I didn’t ask for a kale appetizer). I’d return for the pasta and drinks but would never order the calamari again. They should remove it from the menu and spare the costumers this horrible calamari experience.
Great meal! We shared the brussels sprouts with bacon and the beet and burrata salad as starters. Both were great, and the brussels sprouts were perfectly crispy. For our main courses, we got the catch of the day, which was a Seabass, and the beef Wellington. Both were cooked perfectly and the sauce on the fish was fantastic. The portions were also pretty big and comparison to many upscale places. It was also our anniversary and they brought us out some complementary chocolates with whipped cream, which was such a nice gesture.
First time here for an evening dinner. The reviews and photos looked amazing. However, the appearances were a bit deceiving to the flavor for the steak filet and the beef wellington with veggies. The best food here is the macaroni and cheese with sausage and bacon, it tasted very rich, creamy, and very flavorful for the sausages and bacon. I would highly reccomend this. I also highly reccomend the ginger beer(non-alcoholic) it was very crisp and refreshing, great pairing to any dish. The beef wellington was cooked well to medium rare, but it lacked flavor, the crust did have good flavor because it absorbed the butter. The veggies were too buttery tasting and couldn’t taste the veggies flavor profile, the sauce around the steak had a lot of mushrooms but didn’t add any more character. The filet with the gruyere risotto was very strong tasting but the filet lacked any flavor, had the same mushroom sauce as the beef wellington. The filet was supposed to be cooked to medium rare, but it was more rare and very red. It was very difficult to cut through with a knife and extremely chewy, it was hard to eat and enjoy. It felt like I was fighting my food. I told my server about it but nothing was done and didn’t want to waste a 10 oz steak, so I ate most of it. The dessert was complimentary, chocolate truffles it was the best dessert ever. Overall, spent $166 for all of this. I would say this place is perfect for drinks, dessert, and an appetizer, but not for the entrees. After eating from this location, I got food poisoning, heading straight to the bathroom because the steak was too rare and not medium rare, being very chewy and very red. It hurt my stomach a lot. I would come back for everything else except for the steaks.
We had a lovely time at The Red Door. Our server, Jay, was friendly and attentive. He had great recommendations, as we had the appetizer he recommended and it was tasty!
I got the short rib for my main, and my wife got the orecchiette.
The short rib was tender and delicious and the sauce had a nuanced flavor to it. It was served over brussel sprouts and they sort of absorbed the flavor of the short rib. The dish was great, but it could have used some kind of third piece to it, like roasted carrots or something on the side to give the dish a little more dynamic flavor. So good still, and the portions were fantastic!
The orecchiette had a wonderful shallot flavor that we both loved. The portions were great as well. What a tasty pasta.
There was a couple there (that we were judging) that sent their food back. The chef came out to ask what he could do to make it right. I thought that was very classy. That couple didn’t look like anyone that I would ever want to hang out with. The chef on the other hand, I’d invite him sailing or something.
Anyways, overall great experience – I will recommend the restaurant to my friends that love Italian food and large servings!
ABSOLUTELY INCREDIBLE! Where do I even begin?! Jacob (I hope I got his name right!) was our server and did an outstanding job. We had the following dishes, which were all DELECTABLE: the arugula salad, the seafood fettuccini, lobster ravioli, fresh sea bass over basil risotto, and the free range chicken. The portions were HUGE and the food was served hot and seasoned to perfection. Truly one of the best meals I’ve had EVER; I’m so glad I chose this for my birthday dinner. For dessert we had the banana cream pie and the chocolate lava cake. We were also treated to the truffles (melted like BUTTER), the amazing vanilla gelato and the toffee bread. I can’t say enough about this dining experience other than everything was top notch! This will be a MUST on our return visits to San Diego!
