    Awesome in every way at The Old Courthouse, from the amazing pianist playing the grand piano to the scrumptious food, just the right serving size. So wish this wonderful restaurant would not be closing permanently.

    We have been going there for the last 15 years for our wedding anniversary but this time it was the best experience!! Perhaps because they are closing on the 31st Dec they truly gave us an unforgettable experience.

    Great Staff and service. Had a lovely time for an anniversary and the staff acknowledged it and the desserts had an anniversary message as well. We were married here so to come back for an anniversary was very special!

    For the last time last night we celebrated our anniversary at the Courthouse Thank you Mary and all of the wonderful staff, the Courthouse has always been our special occasion go to place and I don’t see a comparable fine dining experience in the Redlands once it closes. The food has always been exceptional, made special by the staff who have made everyone who walks through the door feel so special. We wish you all the very best going forward, it’s a sad farewell, the Courthouse has given the Redlands so much.

    Love coming to the courthouse, usually sit in the old jail cell as it's a bit more quiet there. Staff are friendly , attentive and polite. Food is and has always been fantastic. Can't fault them. This is the only place the SO will come and actually is happy eating and spending money for the service we receive, the only issue we have ever had that we dont ever class as an issue is we requested "blue" steak, which, was served medium rare. Understand that many people will not ask for this and some are a little scared to actually make it blue. Food still amazing and no complaints. Five stars courthouse team.
