    Great view well taken care of by staff. Ordering is different but I think they don’t want people lingering. Nice night out. Go late it turns into a club.

    On the evening of Thursday, December 26, 2024 we dined at Red Rooster & it was a lovely experience. We are a totally blind couple & the staff could not have been more accommodating. Our waitress, Autumn could not have been nicer and more attentive. Each time she put down an item, she told us where she put the item & what each thing was. She made drink recommendations & they were spot on. The food was delicious & we asked if they could cut up our stakes & they did so, willingly and without any hesitation. It was the best dining experience we have ever had. We were honored that the Chef came out & spoke to us about the food. He re-assured us that each time we were there the service would be at the same standards, top notch. The security guard was so nice to escort us to our cab. We highly recommend the Red Rooster for a fabulous dining experience.

    Excellent dining experience at Jacques Brassiere this evening. I enjoyed duck confit with polenta and creme brulee for dessert. My guests enjoyed roasted chicken, tuna tartare and salads. The table was large, comfortable and well positioned for both lovely views and conversation. Service was superb. Thank you.
