Enjoyed the food, but there was something amiss with the pace of the service. Felt a little rushed, 4 people we were done in an hour. You would expect at an upscale restaurant you might linger a little longer. Waitress very knowledgable about special (gf) diet, which was great. The endive salad was terrific as was the risotto. Two in our party said the (a) fish and (b) prosciutto were dry. Possible growing pains or the effects of having a great review in the paper. Happy to see a growing restaurant scene in the neighborhood. Would love to try restaurant again once the growing pains are worked out read more

I love this place! We went with a group of 6 , Gluten free, vegan and a picky eater.... The GF chicken parm DELISH! Everyone was thrilled with their apps , dinner and dessert. This has become our new favorite and we come from a half hour away! Keep it up RED , your food is wonderful and your nestled in the cutest little town of Kings Park... See you soon read more

Been waiting to try this place since it opened, especially that you dont see too many BYOB places anymore. I have to say though, a little dissapointed. The service was decent for a non busy night. Wait staff was knowledgable but the bus boys were too agressive and all over/around us. The food was not what I expected. The taste went from really salted salads to subpar rissoto and dull tasting pasta. Nothing tasted right and all four of our plates had a complaint. It was really hard to have something good to say about the dishes. Last but not least was the price. Absurd. We are not in Manhattan nor a sushi house, heck not even in Huntington. The service and chef should compliment the price and we felt a bit cheated. We have no problem paying for good food, this was just not it. Oh yeah, the dessert was decent. Sorry Cafe Red, we'll give you another shot soon? read more

Excellent food Very polite servers All around a great dining experience Small dining room makes for a cozy evening read more

Had dinner here for the first time a few weeks ago, Good food, very cozy atmosphere! Excited to go back for brunch next time!

My wife and I had eaten in Cafe Red prior and enjoyed it. A few weeks ago my wife called on a Monday for Friday reservations at 6:30 for six. We're an older group and several have hearing issues. She requested the round corner table for six and was assured it was available and it was ours. My wife and I arrived at 6:20 .As we entered another group was being shown to our table.We were seated at a very small table in the middle. The young man was told we were assured the round table, he stated ,well it's taken. When our full party arrived a waiter tried to push a smaller table to join ours as our party did not fit. This rude young man came over and told him to put the table back. We ended up staying but all were very aggravated and our dinner was ruined. If your restaurant can't even accept and secure reservations why would anyone bother making them or going there ? Never again. read more

I went in here on my way to the city. Looked like a cute place to eat. The food was amazing but the service was absolutely terrible! The manger was oblivious to how bad the service was. I think he is part of the problem. Don't waste your time coming in and sitting down. Just get take out. read more

Nice waiters, home made French fries, awesome cheeseburger, quick service, and kid-friendly!

I loved that this was a BYOB place. How awesome is that?? I tried their hay and straw pasta, really great. And my girlfriend ordered the lamb. Btoh were great. will definitely be back! read more

Great bottomless brunch! $20 for bottomless mimosas - the servers are super friendly and the food is good. Definitely a good brunch spot, very cute read more

Just left this place. Been here before. Used to be decent. Just had Sunday Brunch. Ordered "Crab Cake avacado Benedict" for $18 each for my wife and I. Truly awful. It was a poached egg... on a raw english muffin... with obviously instant packet hollandaise.... that was it... with a crab cake on the other side of the plate.... hahahaha.... and the brown avocado across the plate the other way. I guess it was a "build it yourself" Benedict? It stunk. The crab cake, my favorite food, was terrible. And the wild thing is... the bill for this horrible brunch was $107.... Its a shame because we liked it in the past. Will never go again. read more

Just had a wonderful time at this very cozy spot. Went with a large group of fifteen people and they accommodated us beautifully. The food was really good. I highly recommend the bbq rib appetizer. The staff was wonderful. With such a large group we were all served at the same time and the food was great and served hot- which is tough when so many plates come out at the same time. I'll definitely go back. read more

I was here for a rehearsal dinner last night. Besides the warm and welcoming atmosphere, one of the first things I noticed was the rustic bread waiting on the table. When I got some wine, the general manager recommended a glass of the Rioja, and it was good. I enjoyed my food, but what really impressed me was the great staff. This is a place I would definitely return to of on the area. read more

Fried calamari was a little tough but the good sauce made up for that. Our chicken dinners were good except shrimp scampi was horrendous. I think the shrimp were very old, left out or microwaved after frozen. Three of us tried it and couldn't stomach even finishing half of one shrimp. Waitress took the plate away after we told her and she didn't even comp the $28 dish. The waitress even told us she advised the kitchen staff of the taste. It's been almost three hours now and I still have this terrible taste in my mouth and my daughters stomach is in knots! read more

I recently ordered take out from here and I don't know if it is because of the virus or what but the fish was very old and had gone bad and there were little worms in the food. Horrible service over the phone as well. read more

Went for a romantic dinner. The service was friendly and attentive. The thing about this place is that to me it had the wrong name. . It's pretty much an Italian food menu. However, we ordered on the edges of that by getting the short ribs, osso bucco veal, and vegetable puree soup, and a salad with beets and asparagus . The meat was tender-no real complaints about the dishes-but nothing I will have to run back to have again either. Another thing that surprised me-it looks from the outside that it would have better ambience. It's too bright and packed with basic decor-it would benefit from a redesign. That being said, it's s fine dining choice in the area. read more

This a very nice find. Staff is very friendly and you can have a nice cocktail before you sit down to dinner. If they have the eggplant caponata , make sure you slather some on that wonderful bread. We had beautifully prepared salads and the entrees were excellent. We were simply too stuffed for dessert. Definitely will be back to try those out. enjoy! read more

Food was amazing and service was superb. Everything cooked perfectly and flavorful. Mushroom soup was to die for and crusted salmon was great. read more

Elegant foods at fair pricing. Friendly professional service. Only draw back is the close quarters of seating makes it easy to listen in on other patrons conversations. read more

Every time I come here it is not a disappointment!! My mom, boyfriend, and every friend/family member I bring here love it! The lemon ricotta pancakes for breakfast are to die for! And the dinners are always amazing. The staff members are very nice as well. Nothing but good things to say about this place. read more

Great local spot in Kings Park, this little gem has an interesting menu and a nice wine selection. They have really good specials. They featured venison prepared expertly a few months back. It was delicious. Good for the kids too! Friendly service. Has not disappointed yet! read more

I was working in the area and found this place on Yelp, I'm glad I did. The food was great and the service was excellent. Will return

Great spot! The lunch/brunch menu is my favorite. The prices are fair and the food is excellent. Their risotto is sooooo good. Must try this spot! read more

I love this place ! the food here is great! I've only been here a few times throughout 3 years. And I'm hoping whenever I go back with the my boyfriend the food continues to be great! read more

Came here tonight with my fiancé and as last time, I was not let down. The short ribs did not fail us nor did any of the other items we chose. We enjoyed our meal and had a nice time chatting with the manager, Keith. We will definitely come back here and would recommend this place to anyone. Enjoy! read more

REFRESHING! Had to drive to the midwife and stumbled on this sweet spot. Highly recommend

This is a 4 star restaurant because they were slow and the French frys taste like Oregono the service was poor to. But the food is outstanding, and I'm 99% sure the pasta is fresh read more

Greeted at the door by the owner, who is an Italian dream. This Italian restaurant offers creative spins on dishes that will leave you unsure about what you want to order. I had a spiral pasta with vegetables, and it was cooked al dente. Perfecto. The waiter we had was a little annoying though, but I am rating this on the food and atmosphere... I'd go back... It's a good place to unwind with a nice meal and a glass of wine... read more

The Hay and Straw with truffles in a light cream sauce was absolutely amazing. The service and ambience were fantastic and it was so hard to choose something for dinner because everything sounded so good. The place got crowded really fast so I suggest making reservations for this sweet spot. read more

I've eaten here many times and it never disappoints. Small family run, not a food factory where they nuke everything. The service is great, the manager remembered us on our third visit ( each visit was about a month apart!). The bread and eggplant spread they put on the table is delicious. It's hard not to eat to much before your food arrives. I highly recommend reservations on the weekends and especially for large groups or holidays. read more

Stopped in here last night for an early dinner. Price fix was being offered, not really that big of a selection.....I opted for regular menu, friend went price fix route. Caesar salad was ok, no anchovies. I kinda like a little chovy flavor.....not the best not the worst caesar. Friend had lentil soup, liked it. Mains: They had seabass puttanesca.....enjoyed it. I ordered the short ribs. Cooked perfectly, melted in mouth, just very bland. Sauce was nice, mashed potatoes were bland and not creamy at all. Mixed veg was good, but cauliflower tasted funny. Passed on dessert. Menu is small, lacks any real pizz-azz. Wouldn't go back, nothing that memorable. read more

Definitely a "one and done" place for me. Wayyyy too overpriced, the portions are tiny and the food is pretty disgusting. Really sad, I really wanted to like this place. But for the amount I spent for ONE MEAL I could have had double the food at a 4 star restaurant in Manhattan. The only saving grace is the friendly service. Besides that, don't waste your time or money here. read more

Great food at a local place. Dine in or take out, we have never been disappointed. They use farm fresh, local food. We even see them shopping at the local farmers market in season! Love that! That's the way it should be! Daily risotto dishes are excellent! Eggplant rollatini is amazing! read more

Service was terrible. A table for two was barely big enough for two people, but me, my wife, and my 2 yr-old son were squeezed into a table for two. Waitress was very cold. Only saving graces were the fact that the food was pretty good and that the owner came out to personally serve my son his food. read more

Phenomenal restaurant! My fiancee and I went in for a Sunday lunch. The service was great, the prices were very reasonable (since it was lunch), and the food was outstanding! ALL fresh pasta. My fiancee had fresh fettuccine with a homemade tomato sauce and veal meatballs. It was out of this world. I had a pulled beef short rib sandwich with fontina, with a delicious Cabernet reduction sauce. It was spectacular! It needed the tiniest amount of salt, but that is my only criticism. Even the jasmine rice was great. Cooked perfectly, seasoned well, and delicious. I would highly recommend this restaurant, especially for lunch when the prices are cheaper. Friendly and helpful wait staff, nice atmosphere, great location. I will be returning very soon to Cafe Red! read more

I LOVE this restaurant!! The food is delicious! I've enjoyed everything I've ordered. If you like truffle, order the Hay and Straw pasta and you'll be in heaven! Also, the customer service is fantastic. The wait staff remembered me after just one visit. They make you feel so at home. read more

Arriived on time for 730 reservation Saturday night, didn't get seated till 815. We went there specifically for restaurant week. My party of 4 was excited at the menu we looked at before arriving. When menues came there was no restaurant week menu,I asked waitress for it and was told it ended at 7, when I showed her on my phone the menu and that it didn't have any restrictions like all the other restaurants I was told "yeah it isn't on there but that's our policy" classic bait and switch, put a negative mood to the evening. Service was good, food good but they will be in a time out for principle read more

Cafe Red is a wonderfully charming little place! The food is delicious and reasonably priced (I, for one, love the hay & straw pasta), and the waitstaff is super friendly and welcoming. read more

Came in last week and had terrible service. The manger was rude and acted like he didn't want anyone in the restaurant. The skinny blonde girl, who was our server, was too busy on her cell phone to even pay attention to us. Good food but i wouldn't come back because of the service. read more

Three visits with a different grp each time. No one has been anything but pleased yet. Relaxed, competent, friendly service. Food special (spring roll, curried shrimp, salads, steak, fish dishes etc all a pleasure) what a treat to have in the area. read more
