    Will definitely be back- its slightly on the pricey side but really enjoyed the ambience. Would probably suggest a larger group so you can try more of the dishes! My gluten-free companion had lots to choose from and they even adjusted a couple of recipes.

    Exquisite food! The bocodillo is so delicious it feels like how I imagine heroin feels lol! And the membranillo gin and tonic was unreal. Also the staff are AMAZING! Our server Eduardo was so kind and engaging. A heart of gold! Especially with my elderly mother who has hearing and memory problems.

    Wow. We had a wonderful time at the Red Window. We had been anticipating going for a few months. We had booked a table to celebrate 2 belated birthdays in August for October. Little did we know that they changed their hours of opening for October. I called and reconfirmed the date and time with them and they said they would open for us as planned. We were treated like queens. We had a lovely server name Melanie. She served us our fantastic rojo sangria and let us know all the popular tapas and entrees as well as her favorites. One of the birthday girls is a food and wine blogger so she picked Melanie brain on the drinks and food being served. We ordered food we could all share. Caesar salad, Arugula Salad,Buffalo chicken wings,and Chili Braised Lamb pasta. Everything was delicious and very filling. They comp us 4 glasses of champagne to celebrate our 2 ladies birthday. What a memorable day. Melanie from Lucca made it so special for us too. The ambiance of the Red Window is colorful and festive and the lively music they played gave it a party atmosphere. We will all go back again. Thanks to the owner for honoring our reservations. You made us very happy!!
