I had not been to Red Eye Grill since the pandemic (and prior to their renovation) and was looking forward to returning. Sadly, we were disappointed. First we were seated in an area that was extremely warm, then at a small table up front. The steak frites was, for a medium rare steak, over salted and over cooked. The red eye Cobb of which we had such fond memories was a sadder, smaller version than what we remember. We thought desserts would redeem it, but our two scoops of ice cream were rock hard and served with a flavorle... read more
I had some issues at the restaurant and how we were treated was not what I was expecting for this type of atmosphere. We ordered the Colossal shrimp to start. They fry the whole shrimp with both the head and the tail on. It’s a nice presentation except that you can barely tell it is this way. I found out when I bit directly into the heat of the shrimp. As I am eating the rest of the shrimp I also noticed that they didn’t devein the shrimp. Now I am used to eating shrimp without the vein. Maybe I am being too picky but when I... read more
Terrible service. Not enough servers. Had to get my own menu. Portions smaller. Prices higher.
Overall, a disappointment. Management of the restaurant seems to be sacrificing quality for profit. The cocktails were heavy on the ice and light on the alcohol. For appetizers we ordered the Dancing Shrimp and fried calamari; both were overcooked. The shrimp were so hammered that they were fused to the skewers and nearly impossible to get off. Unbeknownst to us, the New England clam chowder has bacon in it, which meant that the vegan member of our party had to send it back (it appeared on our bill anyway). The Scallops in a... read more
They clearly have an issue with staffing. We waited for nearly 20 minutes to be served. Finally the Maître d' took our order. We waited for 45 minutes and then enquired just to find out that our order was misplaced. They did comp our food finally, but clearly they have a serious issue with staffing and order placement at the moment. The terrace is really lovely, but not when you have to wait this long for your food. The food was average.
Used to be decent. Now just expensive . New England clam chowder all potatoes , not properly spiced. No bread which used to be outstanding . Lobster roll a joke with little lobster. Dover sole , if it was Dover sole, not very good . Over priced and no reason to go back. Too bad. Used to be expensive but good. Now just expensive .
We had been many times before (pre Covid) and always really liked it. But it’s not the same. When we arrived there were very few diners there yet we waited 20 minutes for a waiter then after finally ordering a drink we waited forever and had to remind the waiter to bring them. The famous dancing shrimp were disgusting and hard to eat and quite nauseating. The “best garlic bread in NY” was cold and not good. My daughter returned her crab and avocado salad it wasn’t good filled with Mayo and hard crab, my burger tasted awful I... read more
Saw restaurant week menu on the website and came specifically for that. There were no day restrictions on the website, but when I came for my birthday on 08/14 they said, ‘Oh we don’t provide this special on Saturdays.’ But there was no info about that on their website. I was very disappointed about that and that dampened my birthday celebrations!
As this restaurant had only a Restaurant Week dinner menu online, I called to make they had a RW lunch. After being put on hold I was told they absolutely did, the menu was just not online. I arrived to discover they were serving only the thirty-nine dollar dinner menu at lunch. It was, I was assured ok with RW powers that be. A RE lunch is 21 not 39. We stayed eating enough food for lunch to comprise a dinner. Cuisine was good but misrepresentation is not
