" What a delightful restaurant! We visited on a weekday night; the ambiance was charming, and the service was impeccable. We shared the Brussels sprouts and the arugula salad, both of which were delicious. As for mains, I chose the beef Wellington, which was good but I have had better at other places. My partner had the squid ink pasta and was raving about it! Very generous portions indeed! Overall, a lovely dining experience that we would love to revisit. " (*Curated Review*)

" The Red Door has become a favorite of mine! I go there often not just for their stunning food but also for the warmth of the staff. Their orecchiette is a must-have—so flavorful and generous in portion. The dessert menu is equally impressive. I really recommend the sticky toffee pudding! I'll definitely keep returning for more delicious meals. " (*Curated Review*)

" I’ve heard great things about The Red Door, and my experience did not disappoint! The food was delicious, the staff was polite, and the ambiance was intimate. Definitely a great spot for a date night. The dishes are well-crafted, especially the seafood fettuccine, which was rich and tasty. I’ll be back for sure. " (*Curated Review*)

" I was incredibly impressed with my meal at The Red Door. The chef clearly knows his craft—every dish was thoughtfully prepared. I had the short rib, which was outstanding, and my dinner mate ordered the sea bass which was fresh and beautifully plated. The desserts were heavenly! This place is a must-try while you’re in the area! " (*Curated Review*)

" Last night, I tried The Red Door for the first time, and it certainly won't be the last! The lobster ravioli paired well with the delicious garlic bread. The ambiance was nice, a bit loud for my liking, but that added to the lively atmosphere. Everything tasted amazing with generous portions. It was overall a great experience! " (*Curated Review*)

" After hearing so much about The Red Door, I decided to finally try it out for my anniversary celebration. The ambiance was delightful, with soft lighting and live music that added to the romantic setting. I had the lobster ravioli which was divine, rich with flavor that I kept wanting more. My partner enjoyed the pork belly with risotto, which was cooked to perfection. We had pieces of dessert - both the banana cream pie and sticky toffee pudding were heavenly. On the downside, our waiter seemed a bit overwhelmed and took a while to get our drinks, but overall, it was a lovely night. " (*Curated Review*)

" I visited The Red Door after hearing buzz from friends, and wow! The flavors were incredible! I ordered the spicy tuna roll, which was fresh and authentic. The prices were reasonable given the quality. Our waiter was attentive and friendly. I also really enjoyed the vibe of the place. Live music was the cherry on top. This is definitely a hidden gem in San Diego! " (*Curated Review*)
