    The atmosphere was good but the food was not what it should have been for the price. We don't mind paying these prices for food served at the right temperature. Our sides, broccoli, and truffle fries were lukewarm if even. The fries were hard! My husband’s $88.00 ribeye was comparable to an Outback steak. It was not the quality we expected, we ate here on our visit last year and the food was not as good not sure if there have been changes but not a good experience last night.

    Always a good choice for great food. The prices have increased a lot since I was last there but that is the sign of our times.

    We've enjoyed dining at Red Tracton's for decades. Arrived on a non-busy Monday and the restaurant looked the same as we remembered. Ordered my usual prime rib dinner and their great backed potato. Potato was great, meat with pretty tasteless ... which was disappointing ... and especially at $65 and don't think it was prime quality as I always expected. Quite pricey for what we received.

    The filet mignon was perfectly cooked and the loaded baked potato was so big you can split it. The dinner, dessert and wine was awesome and our waitress Katie was the best! We had a great time! Also the piano player was a great added touch!

    Red Tracton's is one of those restaurants that can always be relied on to have a very comfortable atmosphere in an elegant, but quietly stated manner. The menu has a wide selection of classic dishes, all made from first class ingredients and cooked and presented to perfectionl Our server last night, Anna, made us feel like a member of the family being served in her home. She couldn't do enough to ensure we had exactly what we wanted, and had a lovely sense of humor to go along with her professional service. Thank you for a terrific evening!

    We had a fabulous Anniversary lunch at Red Tracton's this week. Everything was excellent from the cocktails, Prime Rib and especially the service from the talented and nice, Adrienne! Red Tracton's takes you back to a time where food and service were paramount...we enjoyed it!

    Big faux pas number one - my wife ordered a simple iced tea and there was some sort of slime on the straw and into the glass. No idea what this might have been. Big faux pas number two - no soap in the ladies’ room, just two empty dispensers and some hand sanitizer. But the restaurant also missed on the smaller notes. A full-fledged steakhouse of this sort shouldn’t have laminated plastic menus. It’s tacky and goes against the old-time feel of the place. And the crème brûlée had the consistency of cottage cheese and was on the colder side of lukewarm. We now can say we’ve been here, but we won’t be returning.
