Get directionsOverall disappointing evening with clients in tow. Our server was nowhere to be found, we had to ask for items multiple times, the steak had a bizarre taste, and even when we talked to the manager things did not get much better. I would not go back to this restaurant - and definitely wouldn't take clients that I'm trying to entertain.
I've always been a fan of the Red-Eye, coming often when I worked audio on the Letterman show. And they have always had an uncommon amount of noise, mostly due to the high, albeit beautiful, ceilings and large reflective surfaces without any dampening. But when we walked in for our most recent dinner, my group and I were a bit stunned by a singer "belting" out some emotional phrase at the top of his lungs, and amplified! Bottom line is, the food was quite good, as it usually is. The service was ok: Our waiter seemed way too ... read more
I chose Redeye because of decent reviews. But I had no idea for lunch it is such a "factory". The service was robotic and rushed. The food was salty, overcooked, small portions and boring. I felt like I was a tacky diner just trying to turn tables quickly. Even if the prix fixe was half the price, I would not think it was worth it!
When the waiter replaced used utensils on our table -- ignoring my request not to -- I realized how much this once classy place has fallen. The $63 bone-in was terrible. Now I understand why is was so easy to reserve a table.
We have been in before and remembered it being a great meal. This time that was no difference, however the service was slow and not attentive. I personally have a dairy allergy and when he came to the table I said I have a couple questions. He replied, you're only allowed one. So I laughed and said, I stay away from cow dairy. What do you recommend? (Playing his one question rule game) He said ohh.. I'm going to go serve a quicker table and come back to you. At first I thought he was joking since he started off with a little... read more
We went to redeye becasue of the reviews and it's proximity to our hotel. We were underwhelmed by the food and service. The crowd was sparse even for a Monday night, but they were out of a special and one other item. My girlfriend had the softcrab salad. It came with a bed of ingredients that did not make sense that seemed like they could have been out of a chopped kitchen episode. I had a steak which was good and well cooked. I ordered a baked potatoe with it. I asked for rach dressing and was told they had none, so I said ... read more
We ordered too any dishes. The food was delivered tapas style not in courses which I was baffled by but it was fine. I did not enjoy my light and stormy cocktail ($19) which I was hoping would refresh me but the opposite felt true. Also we ordered a virgin strawberry daiquiri and instead of coming back to tell us it wasn't possible they just went ahead and made a Shirley Temple. I thought that was strange. Overall the meal was tasty but left our pockets empty.
The most inattentive service I can remember. It also took an hour to get three $30+ salads and 1 tuna burger (which was burnt to a crisp). No attempt to apologize made by staff. Wouldn't head back.
We've been to RedEye many times, and many times for brunch. but not for mothers day. The brunch was mediocre at best and the service was very bad. It wasn't that crowded, so it was just inefficiency. It is a shame because we were very excited to go back before the theater and it did not live up to expectations.
