   This restaurant was beautiful and the service was great.   we sat at the  covered patio with the fire pits and it was really nice.  I would say the food was just OK for the value, but the staff and service was impeccable.

   The restaurant appeared to close at 10pm according to online but they turned away our 8:45 reservations because the kitchen was already closed.

   Gosh it was so nice. First of all valet was extremely convenient. Right up front for 10$. Great deal. The ambiance and decor of the restaurant were both beautiful and dare I say extravagant? It was an Easter buffet. We sat in their beautiful patio w my family and service dog. For 68$/person the food was plentiful and all tasted fresh using quality ingredients . Definitely no cutting corners with cheap filler food you expect at a buffet. Loved the salmon, prime rib, oysters, chilaquiles, chicken enchiladas carnitas shrimp and shrimp ceviche. There was so much more but I was stuffed ( all American breakfast items including an omelet making bar). The dessert table had many items to choose from but at that point I stuck with their freshly cut fruit with mint leaves. Perfect refreshing ending to a very nice meal. The service was a 10. Everyone was so pleasant and nice.

   Overall, our experience was very good. The food was delicious, although slightly overpriced for Mexican food. Alex, the  host, was exuberant, delightful, and went above and beyond. The major complaint is that we had a party of 12 and they refused to let us use more than four credit cards, which I have never ever experienced and could be a real drawback for large parties.

   First time experience at Red O to celebrate our special occasion. Red O provides 3 hr complimentary parking, perfect for happy hour or a comfortable sit-down dining experience. Start with the bar specials on Taco Tuesday with a flight of tacos and craft drink specials. Our dinner and table service by “Joey” aka Jose was delicious. Special recognition for a complimentary desert bundled with an awesome chocolate lava cake.!
