Dined here for my fiancee's 30th birthday on the night of the solar eclipse. We (5 of us) were sat at a booth and while the environment was lively, it was not too loud, and we were able to exchange our conversations freely and easily.Overall, the food was exceptionally delicious. One caveat I will add is - we ordered a salad and the salad was so fresh there was a tiny little beetle that rolled off the plate! The server was kind enough to quickly replace the dish, though, so it was not a big... deal. The rest of the food was delightful (we got a ton - the lobster risotto, scallops, fluke, etc., and all of them were a hit), and the desserts in particular (banana foster and butterscotch) were absolutely amazing.I personally don't drink, but my fiancee and friends do, and they had exceptionally good things to say about the selection of wines. We had a wonderful time and would be happy to return.read more

Absolutely great. From the people, to the design, to the food; of course.We had not been before last night which was a shame as I guess we stick to our normal places too much. But from the moment we walked in, every staff member was a absolute delight.Scott our waiter was very attentive, friendly, and helpful. We started with the REDD Wings. They are Thai Chili coated with sesame seeds and spring onions. They were perfectly cooked with an amazing crunch. We couldn't have been more happy... with the perfect balance of sweet and heat, and the decadent flavor.Personally I was torn between two specials, and the classic steak on offer on the regular menu.The one special was basically a comfort food; the classic beer battered fish fry, which ultimately Scott recommended since it was a special that is only available during Lent.This choice was amazing. He was right in that it was a basic fish fry, but elevated. The fish was tender and flaky, with a perfect beer battered shell that had a great crunch. The fries were great and handcut with a pillowy softness to them, but the tartar sauce was absolutely killer. And while the fish fry was an absolute stand out on its own; that tartar sauce just pushed it to the stratosphere! Get this if you see it on their menu.My wife got the Wild Fluke with Clams. The presentation of the dish was amazing, with a creamy sauce, tender clams, a flaky fish, and a rice base that absolutely was creamy and delicate holding onto the sauce. She usually sticks to basics, but went off her beaten path, and she was glad she did.For drinks we tried a couple of their specialty ones. My wife had the spicy margarita which was amazingly complex, and not too spicy. But it is a back of the throat spice if that sort of thing bothers you. I had the Negroni which was great as well. I've found you can tell a bartenders skill based on how well blended their Negroni is, and this one was masterfully crafted.Before I get to the deserts, their desert spoons have what seem to be a dent in them. It's supposed to be there. It's a French Sauce/Desert spoon that is supposed to allow the sauce or glaze of a desert enter the spoon without having to tip it too far and lose your bite on the utensil.Also, you may notice a small fork with a thick tine on it. That's a desert/pastry fork. The thicker tine is meant to replace you having to use a knife to cut the cake or pastry. The more you know.For desert was the decadent chocolate cake for my wife. It was rich and creamy with a scoop of ice cream. Great stuff. I had the Sticky Toffee Pudding which was fantastic as well, with the same requisite scoop of ice cream.So, after all that, just to once again say, this restaurant and it's food and people are well worth the visit. If you haven't been due to sticking with your normal haunts, you owe it to yourself to try it. Or, if you just only do a nice yearly sit down for a special occasion, make it here. After my friends and family all raving about REDD, I just wish my wife and I had tried it sooner.read more

I dined here back in November 2023 with my friends and family. I ordered the special Wild Bay Scallop Ceviche and the Red Chicken Curry. My meal was incredible . Flavors were well balanced. We received exceptional service from the staff here at Redd. Thank you again for everything!

Delicious food and great service. When it comes to upscale food I can't think of a better meal that I've had in Roc. The lobster risotto, pork belly, and scallops were all phenomenal. Cocktails were great too.

Small menu as you'd expect when fine dining. Delicious at all courses. Lobster risotto was fantastic, light and creamy with a perfect of hint of lemon. Scallops for dinner were also top notch, seasoned perfectly with a unique accompaniment of cauliflower, almond, gold grape, capers, and some puree and vinaigrette. Wow. Wife really enjoyed gnocchi. Wish they offered a ceaser salad and more beer options. Staff were great. Plenty of parking for this type of downtown location. Can be loud inside.... Will be back.read more

Super nice staff. I almost forgot my pizza that they had packed for me, a gentleman ran out to give it to me as I was leaving. The waitress we had was extremely sweet and energetic! Food was super delicious! It was a tad expensive but definitely worth it for a special occasion!

Took us in on short notice, and each menu item is reliably good. Had grouper special most recently, with fennel and lobster. Redd is one of the top choices in the Rochester region, and for good reason. I'm happy to support businesses that truly care about the product they provide, and about the customers they serve.

This is our favorite restaurant in Rochester. We’ve never had a bad meal here. The food is interesting and delicious. The bartenders make great cocktails and offer great suggestions or come up with something off menu for you based on your preferences. The staff is just phenomenal - kind and courteous and make you feel like they’re genuinely happy you’re there. Redd is the restaurant we measure all others against.

Wooooowwwwwwww. I must say I have had the best toffee cake and the most amazing steak here I mean also the chicken was so crunchy and well seasoned and packed with so much flavor. The host was so sweet, you never have to ask for a refill because when I looked at my empty glass someone came and refilled it. I wish I could give 10 starts . Had an amazing time here and also lovely atmosphere .

An amazing spot for a special night out. Food and specials were really delicious and the service was fast and welcoming. Cocktails were served almost immediately after ordering them and the rest of the plates came out at a nice pace so you could enjoy appetizers ahead of entrees. Will always have Redd at the top of the list for special occasions.

I’ve been to Redd for drinks and apps at the bar but tonight was the first time having a full meal and I have to say that it was incredible. I was a little concerned about the service from other reviews but what we found was that the service allowed for a relaxing and enjoyable meal without feeling rushed or hurried out the door…and maybe that’s the point. Our family talked and slowly savored and shared each plate…it was an experience. Food was outstanding including the gnocchi, oysters,... risotto, bourguignon, fluke and pizza. One minor issue was that the reds by the glass didn’t offer a deep bold choice for my husband. Our family can’t wait to return. Five stars all aroundread more

I celebrate my birthday here. This is the best restaurant in Rochester hands down. The amount creativity and flavor reminds of NYC very much. The lobster risotto tastes amazing, perfectly balanced, perfect amount of salt and acid. The wild fluke dish was something so delicious, I can even describe it, you have to try it. Same with the eggplant katsu, that was so creative, crunchy and delicious. 10/10 for the gnocchi and pork sausage cacio e Pepe.

The minimal descriptions on the menu belie the amazing quality of the dishes. The wings were perfect in every way, from texture to taste to presentation. The rigatoni were perfectly tender and felt as if they were handmade, and the bolognese sauce was a deeply satisfying winter warmer. Bouillabaisse has never been something that I thought much of but I truly enjoyed it for the first time here when my partner ordered it. Highly recommend the cheesecake cloud, it’s a beautiful interplay of... textures.Atmosphere is relaxed and elegant with tasteful holiday-themed jazz (we dined on December 15th).The service was generally excellent, and I appreciated the thoughtful touches like the napkin folding and the moist towelettes for the wings. However, we did wait surprisingly long to receive our check and to also have the card run.read more

Delicious food! Every plate was fantastic. We did wait a long time for drinks and the food to come out, but it was really amazing when it did. We ordered a little bit of everything and passed it around the whole table. We reordered the tuna and the scallops.

Overall it was a 9/10 experience. Nothing beats the service at REDD! The atmosphere is great and the food is great. The only thing I ever have a gripe with is; my food is always luke warm when I receive it. I like my food very hot!You rarely find a gem where they match service and food. Front of the house staff members are always attentive! Keep going everyone! 💚💚

Redd is our go-to restaurant for special occasions. It's spacious yet not noisy, and the service is impeccable. We've never had a bad dish here, and we've had some truly spectacular ones (butternut squash soup and butterscotch pot de creme, looking at you!). The cocktails and wine selection are excellent. We look forward to many more visits in the future!
