My cheese course was embarrassing - a single sweaty piece of cheese and condiments. The chocolate dessert course was the highlight to my husbands meal. Our mains were average - I had the scallops, my husband had the filet.

The server was not well versed on the wine list or the cocktails and disappeared to give us answers and never returned until it was too late and we gave up asking. But unfortunately we were left very disappointed by this “fine dining” restaurant. My husband took me here for my birthday and we were so looking forward to a night of fine dining. Redbook had been on our list of restaurants that we wanted to visit since we moved to the area in 2016. We both ordered the chicken as a main, and we both were delighted.Įverything was cooked perfectly and presented with elegance. BUT I had the salad, which was absolutely divine. I shared some and concurred relative to my own tasting experience. The food: My wife started with what she said was the best lobster bisque she'd ever had (and she's had a LOT). (Almost all restos have raised their drink prices, it seems, to help offset rising costs, including the cost of good help.) The wine list is most impressive, however, and not for the faint of wallet. I was pleased to learn (for the next time) that corkage was permitted: $30 per bottle.

The service, from start to finish, was impeccable, provided by young people who knew their stuff and genuinely wanted to make our brunch enjoyable. Each room oozes with quality furnishings, rugs, and art, but the restaurant area is intimate. The building seems vast, with narrow passages echoing the era when it was built, in 17 something. Start with the setting anchored by the Hillbrook Inn, which the resto is part of. It is fine dining - REALLY fine dining - and worth every penny. We wanted to try again, because the next-to-last experience was outstanding. My wife and I hadn't been here for a while our last experience was disappointing.
