    There were only a few tables occupied and probably only two waitstaff on duty, and we spent a long time alone. Service could have been a lot better. I chalked the poor service up to the fact that the other tables were large parties, but we were seated between two of them and they were LOUD. We probably should have asked to move. Our server promised us bread and said more than once it was on its way. I guess she decided that we really didn’t want any because none ever arrived. Red Tracton’s used to be a favorite place for us to go on holidays and special occasions, but our last few visits there have been very disappointing. It’s a shame.

    Service was excellent, Tim was a seasoned expert. Food was delicious and very abundant. Prices are a bit over the top on some things like martinis at $25 each, most of the meat options were on the higher side but I've seen more expensive also.

    Unfortunately the experience was not good. They comped an entree as the halibut was mushy and seemed not at all fresh. Creamed spinach was not really even warm; we sent it back. Service was generally nice. I just get the feeling that this restaurant is in need of a good renovation refresh; much inside seems very old and outdated; even the plastic laminated menus are old style. Appreciate the history here; but for the price; expectations were not achieved.

    This restaurant was recommended by a local person. It’s just not the atmosphere I was looking for while vacationing and the food was unbelievably over priced. $40 for a pot pie, $25 for two shrimp and meals were ala carte. I was told that if you just want to go and have a sandwich or bowl of soup etc. service was super slow and we had to keep asking to have our water refilled. The patrons in the piano bar were very noisy and packed into the bar area singing.

    This is NOT the Old Red Tractons I used to go to for special occasions quite a few years ago!! The food was terrible!! The salad was swimming in dressing. The seafood was extremely pricey and tasted old and fishy. The wine list was limited and ordinary. All in all overpriced and awful!! I’ll never return!!

    Service is always top notch. Disappointed in the food and cocktails this time. I’ve eaten here probably 5 times in the last 4 years. On this trip the cocktails were so so and the food was just average. At those prices, there are better options.

    The service was terrible. We never got our food. And had to leave in a hurry. It was nice that the restaurant, comped us, but we went out for the evening with nothing in our tummies.
