by Leana Burlile on Trendy and Hot Does Not Equate Great I really like the main bar in this place but the side bar looks pretty good too. It is not terribly easy to get a drink with the crowd and the flat design but there is ample room to stand or hang out around their well-placed couches. The beer selection is mediocre but their cocktail list is pretty creative and flavorful like the main menu. I personally enjoy their mojito. The mood of the bar is more friendly and relaxed compared to the nearby Abe and Arthur's. Where this place loses major points with me is the design flaw of the restaurant portion. The lighting and decor work well but they will poorly attempt to fit parties of 8 at these half-moon tables with 2 chairs. You realize it is going on all around you! This is simply unacceptable for what your bill will total. This is coming from someone who is of average height and in great shape. You could not fit 8 models who have been starved for 48 hours at those tables. Then you order your meals and realize that you have little room to put your entrees and drinks. The service will also be inferior since it is harder for the server to get to the table and pour your wine. Keep this in mind when they hit you with a 20% gratuity on top of the full bull which includes the wine that they did not pour. I think you can flex the tip downward but if you are having a good time like me (buzzzzed) then you might not think about it at the time. If you are going with a larger group, there is a table near the bottom of the stairs that is more spacious, as well as a couple of private party rooms upstairs where everyone gets their own chair. Going here with a party of 2-4 is probably ideal. The food is pretty solid all-around and like I said, very creative, though the entree portions could be a little bit bigger. Cotton candy, smores, and foie gras French toast are pretty bold things to throw on a menu which I like to see from a place like STK. The filet mignon is a go-to selection but the seared big-eye tuna and Dover sole also worked well for me too. Those who got the porterhouse seemed a little less happy. The wide selection of wine, toppings, and sides also make for a more tasty experience.
by Arleen Bilcik on Good atmosphere, mostly good service, great deal on pizza for happy hour and decent drinks at reasonable prices. So why am I only giving it 3 stars? I just can't make myself like their pizza. It isn't terrible, just not that tasty. The crust is thin which I like, but usually comes out soggy and oily on the bottom. They hardly put any sauce on it and when we asked for a little extra on the side, to our surprise we were charged for a tiny ramekin that after one taste I didn't even use. We used to live within walking distance of Home Slice and recently moved within walking distance of the Red House. We were hoping it would become our new "go to" for pizza, but sadly it doesn't come even close to the quality of Home Slice. We have been ruined for all other pizzerias...damn you Home Slice.
by jen h. on I've only been here once but I would not go back. Food was bland and mediocre. Although none of the food was actually bad, none of it was yummy or memorable. I do remember that the flatbread was like tiny and sparse pieces of unsavory tuna on a ritz cracker-- and that was the best part of the meal. My date and I both thought the food was overpriced for what it was. Service was fine, ambiance was nice, fellow patrons were pleasant. And there are a few homeless people outside of the restaurant that are ALWAYS there, asking for money when you park.
