   Great experience! Hand made pasta was fantastic, with excellent attention to detail. Live music was a real treat.

   As usual, we had a wonderful time at the Red Door. We enjoyed the food, and Chef Luciano's hospitality is always delightful.

   I heard so much about the Beef Wellington, so really wanted to try it, but was a little disappointed, since the meat was a little too rare for me and I had to spit out a bunch of pieces because it was very chewy. Other than that, the flavor was delicious and the music was very nice.

   We came on a Friday evening and were seated on the Bar side. There was a pianist/keyboardist providing live music the entire time. The short ribs were so tender and tasty, and the serving was generous. I had the beef Wellington (one of the few places I can get it) and it was cooked perfectly. It came with a side of vegetables, which were cooked perfectly and well seasoned. Just the right texture. While our entrees were delicious, two things really stood out to me that evening- the spicy pepper infused gin cocktail and the chocolate lava cake. I was surprised that the texture of the cake was light and fluffy, yet it was full of rich dark dark chocolate. I can’t remember the name of the cocktail, but it was so yummy and refreshing. It’s definitely spicy. The chef came by and checked on us a few times. It’s definitely a locally run restaurant with lots of TLC and locally sourced.
