Greeted with a smile, service was fantastic, drinks are good and the food was terrific. The decor could be described as warehouse minimalist chic but the team there warms it up. The menu is eclectic from a chef that creates dishes from scratch - an approach often misrepresented in today's restaurant world. We had the house-made teriyaki vegetables with chicken stir fry which was excellent with lots of vegetables and accented nicely with the sauce - not drowning, nor too sweet and sticky. The hummus plate was really nice, with homemade pickles and pickled turnips, which we loved but simply could not identify until the server solved the riddle. Olives were nice and the 2-types of hummus worked well. Pita bread was a overdone but I'm quibbling. Moving on to the oddest of menu items was gyros and fries - just like you get in Chicago. How good could gyros be? Pretty darn good with nice crispy edges. Cocktails are inventive and the beer list is really solid with imports that you may not expect. Someone knows their beer there. We waited a while for the food but the waitress set expectations early, noting that the kitchen was a bit shorthanded that evening. A little communication goes a long way, and that's just good service. It's a little restaurant that is trying hard and mixing it up. I give them a ton of credit for putting a diverse menu out there for just about anyone and mastering all of it. Can not wait to go back and try something new next time. read more

We came here last night because I have a gluten allergy and another guest is dairy free. Our server Kelly was an absolute delight, and she deserves a raise! The atmosphere is lovely and looks like something you would find in the city. Most of us ordered the salmon and it was delicious! We will definitely be back soon. Thank you for your outstanding service and for making recommendations for other gluten free items to try in the future! With gratitude! read more

Very good service and food. The only issue is it's extremely loud inside and the noise spills outside. Then add on the noise from street and it's a bit much. I will carry out next time. read more

Ate here on Aug 22...Long waits for our food, poor service including, an inattentive waitress, lukewarm and under seasoned vegetables. Waited over 15 minutes for a piece of cake, at which point we cancelled the cake and asked for bill, which took another 15 minutes. While reviewing the bill noticed we were charged for a drink that was not ordered. Let it go as we didn't want to wait another 15 minutes for a new bill. This restaurant has potential to be a great establishment, but unfortunately we won't be back for a long time read more

I hadn't been to Red Door since the first year they were open. I took my parents for the Mother's Day brunch and was very pleasantly surprised by the food. And we had great service from Kendra - despite the busy-ness that happens when the whole restaurant seats at once right when the open. read more

Food was good. The environment was clean and nice. The drinks were good. The service was good.

Small,intimate, fantastic food. Great service and the owner is over the top helpful in explaining the menu and what they have to offer in food and also cocktails and wine. Very unique. If you try it you will keep going back. 5 stars for sure. read more

First time eating at Red Door. Loved the ambiance but service was slow for only 3 tables (includes our table) and 1/2 full bar counter. Drinks are tasty. Appetizers were yummy and so were the pizzas. However the ball was dropped with the teriyaki stir fry special. It had no sauce and no teriyaki flavor. The only flavor that was tasted was the overpowering smoke taste from the added chicken. It disappointing but eatable. read more

Incredible service. My husband loved the wood fired pizza. I always love the bacon wrapped dates. They were very attentive to our needs.

Such an outstanding experience. Love the vibe and decor. The staff was very knowledgeable of all menu items and the cocktails were delicious. The food was amazing. All food is cooked in a fire stone oven. My favorite Greens is the Nuts & Caesar. My favorite pizza so far is Umami. I can't pick a favorite Share item from the menu because it was all great! My favorite cocktail was Night Cap, it was a perfect drink to finish off our dining experience. I can't wait to try the Ghost Kitchen for lunch. Btw it's pick up only and i believe open Tuesday-Friday 11a-3p. read more

Was looking for something different and in town. Came across Red Door, heard of it just not a lot of talk about it. Was very surprised that one of our favorite appetizers was on their menu, Saginaki. Decided to try it and it didn't disappoint. The wife ordered one of their pizzas, I think it was the bbq chicken and she was impressed. I ordered the gyro and it was good. There was a good helping of meat so I was happy. I would say they won us over especially being a local business. La Porte has always backed locals (especially when my wife had her restaurant). We will see you soon!! read more

I have been to Red Door three times, and it's ok. My most recent trip is very representative of all of my experiences. We have had the same waitress each trip and she always seems like she wants to be somewhere else, not pleasant but not rude. When they have the windows at the front open, it can be very noisy when motorcycles and loud cars pass. To start it off, we ordered a Brussels sprouts appetizer. It also had potatoes and a balsamic glaze. The potatoes and Brussels sprouts were very firm, I would say the Brussels sprouts were warmed, not cooked. I had a prime rib special, with roasted potatoes, wild rice and asparagus. My wife ordered one of their pizzas. My wife's pizza looked very good, pepperoni with burrata in the center. A little perfect char, as to be expected from a wood fired oven. She said it was very good. My prime rib, along with the potatoes, and asparagus were all devoid of any color (and generally, flavor). It was as if they had boiled everything! Was this chef trained in mid century England? The asparagus was much like the sprouts, warmed up but not really cooked, but they were seasoned well. The prime rib had a lot of connective tissue and there were 3 distinctive veins present. Was it the grade of beef or just luck of the draw? All in all with a 20% tip, we were a few dollars under $100. Very underwhelmed, I've eaten much better for much less. read more

This restaurant has a cozy, friendly atmosphere. The wait staff is superb. The infused water is such a nice touch. Who doesn't love pizza? But their wood fired pizza is outstanding with a variety of unique toppings. Highly recommend. read more

The Red Door keeps getting better and better. We were were a party of 4 and were seated at the table we had requested when I made our reservation, though the restaurant was quite busy. . The evening's ambiance was intimate and inviting. I ordered the salmon (on the recommendation of a diner sitting at a nearby table). It was perfectly cooked, tender and succulent (I asked for it to be cooked as lightly as possible). It was accompanied by al dente roasted asparagus and small roasted potatoes, that melted in my mouth. The service is always friendly and timely ( very experienced server who has been there every time we dined here. The Red Door mixes very good cocktails...from scratch. My Manhattan was delicious as were the more complicated cocktails that were ordered including a mocktail Margarita. We will be back! read more

Amazing and delicious!!!! Pizza and dates were perfect. Vibe super cool! Will be back for sure!

My family took me out for dinner here and the only thing I can say is that this place is easily my favorite restaurant in town. The pizza is simply divine, and the cocktails are out of this world. Places like this don't often exist in small towns like La Porte. Do yourself a favor and make this place your go to. You won't regret it. read more

The Red Door is fabulous. The chicken, beef short ribs, chicken, pizza, saganaki, dates/chorizo wrapped by bacon are yummy. Desserts are made on site and are fresh and delicious. And then the cocktails are special. The ingredients are fresh from grapefruit and watermelon margaritas, to the Basil Smash, Smoked Old Fashions etc. Plus the bar has an extensive assortment of interesting rums, tequilas, bourbons etc. Red Door has become my favorite place in La Porte county to have a delicious cocktail and awesome food. read more

Absolute fabulous find in Laporte. The bacon wrapped dates and the wood fired pizza that we added a cauliflower crust and vegan cheese to (great options). Their wine selection was wonderful, enjoyed a French Bordeaux. Very much looking forward to coming back! read more

I'm not sure if it was new wait staff or what happened but we came in shortly after 5 and there was a table of 4 and 2 people seated at the bar. We were seated and got our cocktails pretty quick (which were pretty good). Then a few other tables came in, our waitress took our order and then disappeared. It took almost 50 minutes for our food to arrive(not by our waitress) and my husband had been sitting for 20min with an empty drink and empty water. The food server (owner/manager) noticed this and put in another drink order. He sent waitress over to refill water - and she apologized but continued to ignore our table. We sat, done eating, for another 15 minutes before we were able to flag her down for our check..she never cleared dirty plates off our table, and I had to grab her and tell her we needed our bill run right away because we needed to leave. We were there for 1hr 45min. - the 3rd table of the night. We were the invisible table-waitress walked past us over and over and never stopped. The food was good, but I hesitate to return due to the service. I understand wood fired cooking can take a little longer but there is no excuse for letting customers sit with empty beverages for over 20min- especially if the kitchen is running slow. Sorry folks, bad service ruins even good food. read more

Good food great atmosphere. The building is very old and has a beautiful mural on the side. The gyros is the best in Laporte. read more

The Red Door - Mural on the side of red door - Pizza Near Me - La Porte, Indiana

Amazing experience. Chic atmosphere, great food, and phenomenal service. We had some amazing cocktails and the gyro plate.

This restaurant is beautifully decorated with great atmosphere but unfortunately, those are the highlights. My husband and I have been twice. The service is absolutely terrible. Reservation or not, we waited 15+ minutes to be seated, 10 minutes to get a menu and maybe our drink order put in, water ten minutes after the drinks come after waiting 15 minutes for those. Our food order wasn't put in either time. Two drinks and 90 minutes later, we got our pizza. It was delicious but these people need help running a restaurant. They seem clueless. We won't be going back until it's under new ownership which seems bound to happen. read more
