    Seemed like restaurant was a bit understaffed for an expensive V Day experience, especially toward the end of our dinner. The food quality was lower than usual, and my son's steak was well done instead of medium rare he requested. We were of course offered a second steak, which too wasn't medium rare in particular, but better than last.... so we went with it. But overall a bit disappointed.

    We went to Red O for my folks 50th wedding anniversary, our waiter Sebastian was attentive without being smothering or annoying. The timing of the food was excellent. We all had an unforgettable experience.
