The service was fantastic, our server was very knowledgeable and attentive. Food was good quality and portion sizes were generous. The chef was really creative and had some very interesting dishes on the menu. All local beers on tap, and they even made their own ice-cream! A perfect date night.

One of our favourite go to places to dine in just behind Uptown Waterloo. Even with LRT construction and lack of parking, Red House is one of our favourites for sure!!!

My sister and I went for dinner on a Friday night and the whole experience was great. Very attentive and friendly service. She had the duck which was delicious, told server she has celiac and cannot eat dairy and they accommodated her needs easily. We had calamari as an entree and I had the tuna tacos. Both were delicious. We had the "William" and the sangria to drink, also lovely. I've been here a few times and had a great experience each time. One of my favourites in the city. Great food, service, ambiance and vibe.
