This place has a nice wine selection and food pairing... seasonal menu is always fabulous! Chef is on point!!!

Food is great, specials all the time. They also offer lots of wonderful specialty drinks. Smaller atmosphere, with a patio area for dining too. And there is a red table in the middle of dining area. read more

A good place for special occasions. The cheap dates was delicious! However, as for the other appetizers (deviled eggs, pork belly, Brussels sprout) all were too dry, or salty for me. I also got the surf and turf burger, which the crab cake layer very crispy and tasty but the beef was a bit dry also. I would give red table another try, but probrally not get the same items. read more

Have been a Red Table fan since opening. Amazing Food and Service. We celebrated everything at the Red Table. Always recommending the Red Table! I'm giving a 4 instead of 5 based on last few visits. Service not up to par. Not Red Table service. Food was good but not amazing. One item that really threw me off was the Charcuterie Board with a few pieces of bread and no crackers. When asked for crackers we got saltines in the bag. This is definitely not the Red Table we love. We're not giving up. We'll be back to the Red Table. Hopeful of the amazing restaurant we love. read more

I really love eating here. I have celiac disease, and they have a great selection of gluten free options. I almost cried when I got to eat fish and chips. They use rice flour in all of their fried items. The fish is delicious. The fries are also just the best. The sauces are wonderful as well. I've also had the table burger and it is really tasty. What's even better is that they have gluten free deserts. They staff is well informed and knows about celiac. it's scary for a celiac to eat out. You never know if you are going to get cross contaminated. The fear is real and can happen anywhere I eat. But I feel as safe eating here. The staff is always friendly and fun. I can tell that they enjoy working there. It shows when they talk about the food and how they are attentive to everyone in the room. I know it gets very busy at the normal dinner hour, so be sure to make reservations. read more

This is a real cute wine bar with amazing food. The happy hour is now and filled with wonderful things to eat. I love their bacon wrapped dates as well as their tomato soup with grilled cheese sandwich. I have to try the rest of the menu eventually. I basically had the whole happy hour menu tonight and have food coma now. The parking is real easy here. It's located behind the Trader Joe's. The staff here are really friendly and helpful. My kids love this place and it's been around for about 5 years now. They have changed a little since five years back but the food is pretty consistent here and delicious. Come check this place out! read more

Trent was so great! He was super attentive and very informative. It was our first time here and he made it so comfortable. Totally recommend this place. We ordered appetizers and drinks and everything was wonderful! read more

My BFF likes their braise beef short rib; even though he complaint there is some fat in it. I'd like their pasta with sausage and shrimps ( best of the house ) To day, my friend kept telling me to order the meat loaf ( daily special ) it's $24. After a few bites, I regret to following my instinct to order the meat ball & spaghetti or Spicy Andouille Pasta. The meat loaf is dried and the hardboiled egg was falling a part, the gravy just mushy with no flavor, along with cold mash potatoes scoop, made me think of a week old food, not worth the price, overprice for what they served. Will be back when the O.C no longer have any restaurants to dine. read more

Donna, I love the place. Just got out of,hospital and ordered Table Burger, medium rare, sub bacon for cheese. Perfectly medium rare but zero juices, zero tase, dry as a bone. Have you changed to frozen usda select? Really for my most anticipated post hospital burger, great disappointment. We know each other, and I'll be back but no more burgers. Alex Polsky Baruna Lane.

Red Table - Broken Banana Cream Pie - Gastropubs Near Me - Huntington Beach, California

I'm writing this review because their Loco Moco is perhaps the best on the planet. It starts with a base of coconut rice (excellent accoutrement), topped with a ground beef patty, short rib (nice) and a poached egg. The truffle infused mushroom gravy and sriracha sauce (along with baby greens and herbs garnish) put it over the top. I've had some of the best Loco Moco direct from the source (Hawaii) and this put them all to shame. The gastropub atmosphere was slightly above par and they get bonus points for their top shelf Nolet gin. Sadly, I couldn't give them that elusive five stars because their service was substandard. Our seating reservation was for 8:15. There weren't that many patrons. However, it took the kitchen nearly 45 minutes to get our food out to us and the waiter would disappear for long periods of time. At 9:00 we were told "Last Call"; we didn't know that meant for food orders too so when we were finished with our meal we were unable to order dessert. Chairs were being stacked up at the tables around us while we were eating. Their intent was clear; get us out the door ASAP so they could go home. I'll be back again for their Moco Loco, but next time I'll come earlier. Hopefully, their service will have improved. read more

Went here for my dad's bday on Thursday and had the pleasure of being served by Brian! One of the most attentive best servers we have had the pleasure of encountering. He was so friendly and anticipated our needs before even asking. We will definitely be back. Red Table is lucky to have an awesome server like Brian! Thanks again to Brian and the Red Table staff for making my dad 70th bday so memorable! read more

Overpriced, mediocre food. Used to be a lot better before Covid. I don't know what their overhead is, but their prices have risen more than other restaurants I frequent. read more

It's in an upscale strip mall in a nice area and has really good food. You can sit outside and bring a dog if you'd like.

Great location. Great happy hour. Food variety is good and prices are very reasonable. Owner is very attentive.

Sooooo......our waitress was batshit crazy but not in a bad way.... but we kept whispering...what is she on??? And can we get some??? Her voooooiiiiccceeee. The atmosphere is better than the food but I liked the lighting. If I am ever killing time before a red eye I'll come back I suppose. I got a special that involved chilis and seafood which wasn't great or filling and caused me to eat someone else's food. He was not pleased. Spaghetti and a giant meatball. I definitely feel like this place is better for drinks than food. read more

The service is very slow. The food is fair, a little pricey. The menu needs changing from time to time. Getting boring.... great local place and convenient to go... I don't go there as much anymore read more

We've been here several times before. This past Sunday was the Best. Our server Tayler was great. And ho was cooking hit every meal on the money.

Red Table - Lobster Shrimp MAC n Cheese. Special of the week. Pretty darn tasty. - Gastropubs Near Me - Huntington Beach, California

Absolutely exceptional food at this somewhat hidden neighborhood gem in Huntington Harbour. Very warm and inviting decor which worked well with the staff and menu to deliver a true "neighborhood" vibe. You wouldn't just stumble onto this place accidentally, and once inside you feel like you know an exclusive "secret place" that only locals would know! Staff and service was very good and with great personality, again contributing to the overall vibe here. Even with a significant mis-step on order placement, our very attentive server still came through. Eclectic menu with something for everybody... a slightly but pleasantly spicy Cajun pasta dish with shrimp and andouille sausage, picture-perfect large Cobb Salad, some very enticing Baramundi from the nightly Specials board, and a gargantuan burger topped with tasty pastrami also from the Specials choices and big enough for two meals. And for me, the ultimate classic Comfort Food meal... grilled cheese using truffle oil to grill the fresh sourdough bread, and a blend of FOUR tasty cheeses, each with their own subtleties that came through on each bite. The sandwich was accompanied by the only logical choice... housemade Tomato Bisque soup, probably the the finest and most honest tomato bisque I've ever had, with a captivating homemade flavor without the usual competing pallet distractions... a flavor that suggested they just went out and picked the tomatoes a few hours ago! Exquisite... could have easily had another bowl of it! I've long believed that the best test of a restaurant kitchen is to order as simple a dish as possible... it will either be great or terrible and it will stand on the merits of the ingredient quality and the skills of the chef. This place gets top marks in all categories and deserves a visit... but don't tell everyone, because I still want to get in the place! read more

Between a 4 and a 5 ... I'll give them a 5 bc 1) they never skip a beat with service being friendly and attentive 2) ambiance is chill/cool for drinks and yummy grub after a hard work day 3) wide variety of yummy grub. Everything I've tried has been good, just a few "blow me away" items so far ... hope to try more and add to the 5 list. ~Pork belly: 5; Filipino chef's recipe is perfect! Crispy and flavorful ~BLT flatbread: 5: perfect flavor combo ~Spinach salad: 5; very yummy with candied walnuts, etc. ~Poke: 3; eggplant crisps are a nice touch ~Lobster fries: 2; where's the lobster? ... oh, lobster gravy. WTH?!! ~Deviled eggs: 3; hard to beat the truffle oil /foie gras deviled eggs I had a while ago ~Bollywood fries: 3 ~Winemaker burger: 3 ~Tart beer ~Red table Margarita ~Red Table ale ~Mojito Very hidden location, glad I found it. Thnx, Lisa W. for leading the way! I'll definitely return again and again! read more

Taylor Swift has a new song out right now called "We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together" and it basically sums up my relationship with Red Table. One moment, I would be elated of how great things are going, the next moment, I am determined to not ever come back and make sure no one else does either. However, this is the third time I have ventured out here and this time, we're actually "back together" (collective sighs, yes I know) and here's why: 1. The "ordering up in front and having food brought to your table setup" (that was a lengthy phrase!) was not present that evening. We got seated and soon after, a waitress was taking our order and checking up on us all night. That made a huge difference in our experience. Plus, they alert you via text when your table is ready... the only thing off putting is that not everyone would have a data plan so I'm not sure if those people just end eat up eating the cost of getting a text (yes I know it's 2012 but I'm sure you know a handful of people who aren't with "it" yet). 2. On my previous visits, I mentioned the apps haven't wowed me. However, I enjoyed the ahi tuna tartare served with fried eggplant. I liked the contrast in texture between the eggplant and the tuna (which there was plenty of). The deviled eggs were just okay, I think they tried dressing it up but ultimately, I thought they were on the bland side... even when dipped in the accompanying red sauce which had a heavy vinegar aftertaste. Still, I'm not a big fan of making deviled eggs at home because it just stinks up the whole house, so I suppose I would order it here and maybe ask for a salt shaker next time? 3. The food was actually memorable this time! I had the belly burger ($15) which has a fatty piece of pork belly and a nicely dressed slaw. Wow, this thing is basically the definition of gluttony, definitely on the rich side. There were moments when my patty would fall out and I would just have a bite of pork belly and bun and that dissolved in my mouth like cotton candy. I think less of the patty would help cut the overall richness of this burger, but even so, I would order it again! Samurai fries were as good as I remember though I remembered much more nori seasoned on the fries last time. The fries also looked burned but they tasted fine... wasn't sure how they pulled that off. The Bollywood fries were basically their regular fries with a curry dip, nothing too extraordinary. 4. Dessert- the Red Table Cupcake seems to be diminishing in it's wow factor each time I order it but ultimately I like it (7 year itch much?). Trying out something new, we also shared the broken banana cream pie dessert. Unfortunately, the bananas lacked carmelization as promised and everyone was frantically searching for any semblance of a crust or a crumble in the dessert. I probably wouldn't order this again. 5. Brought two new friends to the restaurant and they liked it... almost like getting approval when you bring around the girlfriend or boyfriend for the first time... phew, dodged a bullet on that one. All in all, yes, I guess we are back together for now and I hope things don't end up sour again... wish us luck! read more

Red Table - Red Table Cupcake, Belly Burger, Samurai Fries, Ahi Tuna Tartar, Deviled Eggs - Gastropubs Near Me - Huntington Beach, California

When you walk into Red Table you'll feel like you stepped into someones large, well-designed studio apartment. Very HGTV, if you ask me! The rugged "shabby-chic" decor gives this place a very girlie feel. From the little fresh picked flowers on the tables to the old-yet-classy pieces you can spot around the restaurant, it just screams vintage style gastropub. The lack of a manned host area always seems to irk me since it usually means they most likely don't have enough staff and that one or two people are working the floor. Not to worry, someone just so happen to drop food to a table near the door and told us to grab a menu and have a seat where we like. Good timing. We also noticed that the clientele was a little more mature @ the time of day we arrived (afternoon pre-dinner rush). I sat down in a booth with my family and started scanning their descent sized menu. Looks like their all about the sharing!! Since we already came from another restaurant on Main Street our minds were set on only getting a few small bites and, of course, drinks. *Cheap Date: These delectable bacon wrapped dates were a perfect combination of sweet and savory. I couldn't help but take each bite with a little piece of arugula and smudge of mascarpone. Eat them while their hot! *Kids Meal: What an amazing idea. A no fuss kids meal that is free of charge. Pasta with your choice of butter or marinara fully equipped with carrots and a Parmesan shaker. This simple and low cost freebie will surely make any kid & parent smile. Genius! *Broken Banana Cream Pie: A hefty portion of banana cream, fresh caramelized bananas, whipped cream, and a cookie crust. It was sweet and the kids obviously loved it. As for me, it was okay. I wasn't a fan of the banana cream flavor and crust they used. We laughed and enjoyed ourselves over some craft beers and wine, as our kids were preoccupied with their kids meal. The service itself could be a bit more attentive with all three tables in the whole restaurant but we were simply there to bask in each others company. If we were there for any other reason (like a stellar dinner experience or an appetizer sesh) ... the service factor and their Yelp star power would be a different story. Not tooo back Red Table, not bad at all! read more

Wait, where are we going? Huntington Harbour Mall? That's "Harbour" with a "u"? Do I need to wear my sea captain's hat and nautical-themed pashmina afghan? Little did I know that Huntington Harbour is just a fancy name for this neighborhood and shopping plaza in HB. I'm glad Mrs. Q is in the know, because we had a great lunch here over the weekend, and are looking forward to many more meals here in the future. Red Table's location, nestled in the back corner of this plaza housing Trader Joe's and House of Brews, belies a chic atmosphere and menu. Stepping into Red Table, you feel worlds away from being in a fancy strip mall, which is kinda what Huntington Harbour is. In any case, the ethos here is spelled out (or at least acronymized and embodied) by the name: RED, which apparently stands for Relax, Eat, Drink. Red Table has a funky modern aesthetic that is casual yet sleek, and yes, relaxing. Whoa I feel like I am just regurgitating buzzwords from Interior Design Monthly. (I just made that publication up, but it might actually exist.) As for the Eat & Drink components... pretty impressive, especially for being so "comfortably priced," as their website states. Meaning prices are not outrageous for a gastropub, AND the portions are generous. Mrs. Q and I shared deviled eggs, bacon-wrapped dates, fries, and the steak sandwich with au jus, and we had enough left over to box up and take home. But not before trying out a couple of their truffled chocolates, specifically the bacon and sea salt varieties. Everything was fantastic. Really, for only having opened the previous week, the food elicited no complaints. To top it off, Red Table sports a small but well-curated beer selection. After all that praise, I hesitate to bring up my minor complaint, but it's about their upfront, fast-casual-type ordering system. For one, it wasn't properly explained to us so we sat befuddled for a few minutes as we waited for... wait service. Once it was explained to us that you order at the counter (and can leave a tab open for further orders) the concept made a little more sense. Still, for this kind of atmosphere which I don't consider super-casual, and with the plates designed to be mostly shared, it seemed a weird fit to shoe-horn this ordering/payment style. Still that's no deterrent from return visits, and I eagerly anticipate bumping this up to 5 stars once the service kinks get worked out. read more

- Gluttony Expedition - *** Beer *** I don't remember the name but this was too vinegary for me. "Sour" isn't my thing ;( Karl: Belgian. I'm usually not a fan of dark brown/black color beers for the bitterness. But this was very light yet smooth. I liked it! *** Food *** Poke : Poke is very light with seaweed and avocado. You put the poke on the deep fried thickly sliced eggplants. Very good! My favorite here. Peppered salmon & shrimp adobo : All the foods were cooked well - rice, vegetables and salmon. But the flavor wasn't something I expected from a typical "adobo"(comfy Filipino food)... The sauce was kinda weak. Today's special. OK. ***** Adobo (Filipino: "marinade," "sauce" or "seasoning") ***** It's a popular dish and cooking process in Philippine cuisine that involves meat, seafood, or vegetables marinated in a sauce of vinegar, soy sauce, garlic, browned in oil, and simmered in the marinade. ******************************************************************** PB BLT : The pork berry was very fatty yet tasty. Bacon was crispy. It was tasty as a whole but very heavy. I could eat only 1/4.. It was tasty for sure. - Conqueror's Deduction - This place is solid. Good food, good drink, and nice ambiance. But I wanna see the menu improvements: Foods in general have high standards yet I wanna see more of their uniqueness (Asian - more specifically modern Filipino fusion) and new items. I'm not a fan of eating the same food over and over.. I'm adventurous to try something new ;p - I'm not a fan of pasta nor Italian restaurant. But I think its location and clientele - upper class white Huntington Beach people - make them choose more "Italian" dishes.. Too much for me. They do cook foods in great ways with their own unique twists. Why pasta?! Too many pasta dishes. I wanna see "Loco Moco" or something you can't see easily at other restaurants around here. - The portion. It is a bit too big for a tapas. I wanna try various dishes, but each plate has a very decent portion preventing me from ordering more. I haven't been able to reach the desserts yet.. - French fries. Their various fries (just plain French fries with various sauces) aren't anything special (to me at least). I like French fries but rather have better food items than these fries. Less portion, cheaper price tag (though they do offer a great pricing. I meant "less portion & less price"), more unique "Fusion" flare - that's what they need ;p read more

I've written several updates over the last few years about Red Table. I've posted lots of pics over the years. At one point this was my husbands and my favorite restaurant, and we ate here at least once a week. It has been quite a while since we have visited Red Table, and last week we decided to give them another go. Sadly, Red Table seems to be missing something here, and that something is Chef Louie Jocson. It is just not the same anymore. My husband was less than thrilled with his meal, and I ordered the roasted chicken entree. They probably could have called this the Sahara chicken, because this stuff was duh-rye! read more

Stopped by here one night with the girlfriends. We heard that this location has good tapas and so we wantes to check that out since sharing plates is idea with a girls night out. We tried - pork belly - bollywood fries - chimichurri steak - tacos - banana pudding pie The dessert was the only thing that i really enjoyed. The pork belly was extremely salty and the chimichurri steak was chewy. The cocktails were delicious, i might come back just for drinks and the ambiance read more

I love this restaurant! I'll start by saying I pretty much love any business that has any type of chandelier in it which this place does seem to have quite a few hanging around in different places. The decor of this place has a touch of a European feel to it. This place is a mix of shabby chic and elegant. It feels very inviting. The food here was awesome! I think I had the best salmon here ever! The salmon a la plancha just melts in your mouth. It's the perfect amount of flavor and spices because the vegetables it comes with are also delectable. Also if you like wine this would probably be a great place to try since wine seems to be their specialty. My husband ended up ordering the house margarita and said it was really good and their craft cocktails are worth a taste. We started off with chips and salsa, which were so good and not the usual chips and salsa. The chips were round and looked like mini tortillas and the salsa was very different in the fact that they used radishes in it. The service was great both times I went. The salmon dish was so good here I actually craved it during the week and had to come back the next weekend just to have it again! My daughter ordered their banana dessert which we all ended up taking a bite out of and of course that was also very good. There is plenty of parking in their lot and we were seated right away both times we came here. Red Table has a very relaxed vibe and this place is incredibly easy to find, its right by the Trader Joe's down here. I'm so glad my daughter's school had a fund raiser here because that is initially how we found this restaurant in the first place and now it's turning out to be a favorite dining spot. I'm definitely looking forward to trying out more of the chef's creations! read more

Red Table is one of my favorite lunch spots. Lots of seating room, very nice interior and atmosphere, and plenty of parking. The food and desserts are amazing. Everything on the menu is familiar, yet with their own special twist. So far I have tried a few different dishes and everything tasted great. You can tell that the chef and cooks take pride in their work and stay creative. If I wasn't on a diet, I'd venture into the rest of the menu as well. Can't wait! The only dish I didn't enjoy as much was the ahi poke. Everything was fresh, but it was too salty. Easing up on the soy sauce would help. It comes with a side of eggplant chips, which sounded interesting, except that they are fried and greasy. It would be great if less salty and less greasy. One of my favorite desserts is the tres leches cake, and it is amazing. (I can't say 'no' to this one!)The whipped cream is made from scratch, fruit topping is fresh, and vanilla sauce is delicious. This is a must-try. Their creme brule with shortcake cookie crust is also great. Nothing is overly sweet, so you enjoy the flavors and textures as well. Very satisfying. Their servers are very quick, polite, friendly and attentive. It's always a positive experience. If you haven't tried this place, it's time you do! read more

I had a real tough time locating this place, but glad I did. What drew me in was the comment about "cheap dates..." Did not know that meant dates wrapped in bacon. Awesome, though. In additon to the dates, we got the meatball sliders, Samurai fries, tomato bisque, and roasted caulifower soup. My favorites were the sliders and the tomato bisque. I could eat that all the time. For drinks, we got the Nipponia beer and a Black Market Hef. I was surprised when the bill came to find out that my Nipponia was $13 for a small glass. It was good, but not that good. Overall, I would suggest that you order the small plates and maybe the steak salad (which looked great). I read a few other reviews where people order stuff they did not like but, then again, it was not stuff that I would have ever ordered.... I enjoyed. Just follow my advice. read more

Red Table Chef Louie Jocson served his version of fun and funky tacos at the Orange County Crazzzy Taco Night. All I can say is that their tacos were AMAZING and one of the top rated at the event ( they were competing with 70 plus top chefs in Orange County).

Went at 3pm on a Tuesday... The decor in this place is super awesome. Has a good vibe to it. We sat at the bar and Robert was our bartender and since was my first time got some suggestions from him but we ended ordering on our own. We Got: Winemaker Burger 5star BBQ Lamb Shank 5 star Cheap Dates 4 star Mojito 2 star Tempranillo Wine and Beer 4 star The food was really jamming and I can't wait to go back again. Everything was solid...I would have gave the dates a 5 but I thought they might have needed a little salt but we had those after our entrees so maybe I was just judging by such a high standard at that point because our main meals were friggin' delicioso! The mixed drinks aren't that good..but they have a great selection of beer and wine...and really wine goes great with that winemaker burger. I will be back and do an updated review since this is close to my house, but so far am psyched to have found this place. The lovely Jennifer who came with me also really liked it as well. read more
