   Service was great, food amazing! Our first time there, beautiful interior, seated promptly, all wait staff was very attentive. Food was served hot, and everyone was spot- on ! We went on a Thursday and had the Surf & Turf (surf was crab cake & turf was sirloin) average portions. Would definitely go back. Thanks to all the staff for a great evening.

   It sounds like you had a wonderful first visit! We are glad to hear the service was attentive and the food was served to your liking, those little details really make a difference. The Surf & Turf combination of crab cake and sirloin sounds like a great choice, and it's good to know the portions were just right. It’s always a great sign when you’re eager to return, so I’m sure you’ll enjoy your next visit just as much. Thanks for sharing your experience!

   As soon as my wife and I entered the Red Salt Room we were reminded of why we dine here so often. The ambience of the spotless dining room was perfect. The lighting, the music and the table settings always make for an exceptional evening. Mary was our server for the evening. As soon as the hostess graciously sat us, Mary appeared. As Mary welcomed us, asking how we'd been since our last visit, Jose Luis poured our water and placed a basket of delicious bread on our table. We ordered a bottle of Brunello di Montalcino to complement the Australian Wagyu Striploin that Mary had recommended. The Waygu was added to the menu for the evening and it was delicious. Cooked to perfection by Chef Javier, it would definitely be a nice addition to an already delicious menu. My wife's entree was the Dry Aged Beef Pappardelle. She loved it. Sauteed Spinach for our side, two deliciously brewed coffees. Excellent. Thank you RSR.

   It sounds like you had a truly exceptional dining experience! The attention to detail, from the ambiance to the impeccable service, really sets the stage for a memorable evening. It’s great to hear that Mary made such a warm impression, and the addition of the Wagyu Striploin to the menu must have been a delightful surprise. Pairing it with a Brunello di Montalcino sounds like the perfect choice—I'm sure the wine and the steak complemented each other beautifully. Thank you for sharing this wonderful experience!

   100% in the top 3 restaurants I’ve ever been to! Went here for an anniversary dinner and everything about this place blew us away. From the service to the ambiance and let’s not forget about the impeccable taste and quality of their food. There is not a single item on the menu we tried that we didn’t fully enjoy! Definitely coming back soon!

   My wife and I always look forward to dining at the Red Salt Room. It starts with entering the beautiful Garden City Hotel. The valet service, the doormen, the beautiful and spotless hotel lobby all signal we're in for a five star dining experience and the RSR never disappoints. The dining room is first class. The staff is always polite and professional. Our server for the evening was Mary. We've dined with Mary numerous times and still haven't caught her on a bad day. Always courteous, Mary sincerely wants her diners to have an experience that will bring them back. The same goes for Jose Luis who assists Mary and is the consummate professional. For our dinners, I started with the Caesar Salad while my wife chose the Burrata Salad. My entree was Chicken Milanese. My wife's was the Caesar Salad with Shrimp. Our sides were Asparagus and Sauteed Spinach. Three delicious courses! The wine Mary poured for us was a Louis Jadot Meursault. Excellent pairing. Thanks to everyone at the Red Salt Room!

   Fantastic dining experience. Service by JC was outstanding. Food (apps, porterhouse, lobsters, sides, deserts) & cocktails were great. Only recommendation is the bar needs to use large single cube of ice in cocktails.

   Dinner was very good with the exception of one appetizer that was unappetizingly spicy and should have been indicated on the menu and the waitstaff was very attentive and friendly. We had a horrible table and felt on top of the adjacent table which was particularly unfortunate.
   

   Red Salt Room by David BurkeResponded on November 2, 2024

   We're glad to hear you enjoyed your dinner overall and found our waitstaff attentive and friendly. We apologize for the unappetizingly spicy appetizer and appreciate your suggestion about indicating spice levels on the menu—we'll certainly take that into consideration. We aim to provide a comfortable atmosphere for all our guests, and it’s disappointing to learn that this fell short for you. We hope to have the opportunity to welcome you back soon.

    Extremely enjoyable evening. The ambience, the staff, the food were all five star. Everyone is so pleasant and professional. We've dined here a number of times and have never had or even witnessed poor or rude service. Our server for the evening was Mary. A professional in every sense of the word, Mary makes certain her customers are treated with the politeness and attentiveness one expects from a fine dining restaurant. Thank you Mary. Jose Luis assisted Mary. Great team. Now, for the meal. We started with Caesar Salads. My wife then had the Dry Aged Beef Cheek Pappardelle while my entree for the evening was the delicious Wagyu Short Ribs. For sides, we chose to add the Sauteed Baby Spinach to our regular choice of Grilled Asparagus. The entire meal was prepared perfectly and was delicious. The wine we chose was a delicious Brunello di Montalcino. Looking forward to our next visit. Thank you RSR.
