Fabulous lunch. Food was hot and delicious, all my "exception" requests were met. Our waitress was knowledgeable about the menu and delightful. My only complaint was that it was a bit cold inside--door was open. But that's it. Can't wait to go again!

We travel around the country and try to make the dining experience part of our vacation. We had learned about red O the last time we went to San Diego and didn’t have time to experience the restaurant. So we made a point of it this year. I will say that it has to be one of the best restaurants we’ve ever had the pleasure of dining. We come from a state that serves a lot of beef and I will say that the 18 ounce ribeye was better than anything I had from our home state. My spouse had the half a pound lobster and it was done to perfection. So I highly recommend anyone experiencing this restaurant if they have the opportunity. The weight staff was incredible. And we will definitely put in our plans for next time we’re in San Diego.

It was a perfect Christmas Eve dinner. The decor was on point. Food was great and reasonable. The steak was just undercooked so we had to send back to redo. Overall great!
