The Red Door

Where do I start? We loved our waiter, the appetizer, entrees and desserts. Beets, Beef Wellington, Lamb Shank, lava cake and banana cream pie. Enjoyed every bite. The portions we perfect and generous. We really appreciated the fact that the chef / owner took the time to come check in on his guest throughout our meal. We’ll definitely be back soon.

I had been wanting to go to this restaurant for a while but for one reason or another we couldn't make before. Today, my husband and my 3 year old son were in the area and decided to make a reservation last minute. We got there probably about 30min earlier and they were so nice to greet us earlier. As soon as we were by the door you can feel the great energy from all the staff. They were incredibly attentive and presented many options for dinner since they knew that it was our first time. I'm not sure how busy it is during the weekends but going on a Wednesdays evening was a perfect choice for us since we had a little one with us. This is the kinda place you go for a birthday, a date night, celebrations with family, friends or just because you want an amazing dinner. The atmosphere is very tranquil and you almost feel like you are having dinner at home because how cozy and welcoming this place is. As an interior designer I have to say the restaurant itself is so unique, it is American farmhouse style with a very chic classic touch. Loved the little accents, and the vintage lamps create an elegant ambiance. The layout of the restaurant, again, feels very homely and flows naturally with a curved window that points at the main street, if you are lucky you might see the sunset from your seat. Moving on to the food, the magical piece of this place! We had steak and seared tuna with risotto. I rarely eat potatoes, specially with steak, but the potatoes were the star of this dish. The blanc sauvignon was crisp and fruity. Probably the best two dishes I had all over San Diego even though we always order steak and tuna in every other restaurant. There are some really amazing restaurants in SD but something always doesn't add up. At this place, everything was great, the staff is incredibly professional and the chef came to our table to ask us about the food, you can tell he truly cares about this restaurant and his customers. Also, I woukd like to add that we didn’t have dessert because we were so full, but now I have an excuse to go back. Thank you guys for making our night so pleasant.

Cosy, intimate dining experience with personalized, friendly staff who really make you feel at home and enjoy a good Italian meal with them. The Chef Luciano stopping by at the tables, welcoming and asking how the food was just confirms the personalized vibe of this place. The wine selection has some fantastic Tuscany Italian wines and we lingered slow and easy enjoying ours. We definitely see The Red Door being our goto restaurant next door for more cosy dinners together ❤️
