Redd Rochester Reviews from The Last Year
Horrible
4$ for a tiny soufflé cup au jus on the side And a 20 minutes for a drink.. worst portions and service ever. Kitchen closes insanely early.
Was treated to a birthday dinner here and it was pretty
Was treated to a birthday dinner here and it was pretty nice. Not the best of service, which I was not expecting due to what I've heard about this restaurant. They have a nice mocktail menu, we shared some appetizers, wood fired pizza and split two desserts. Portions are on the small side but delicious. Ambiance was clean (aside from some smudges on our water glasses) and the sun was beaming through the window which was a bit uncomfortable as I was squinting and trying to find some relief. Our server didn't come to check on us really at all and we had to try and call him over a few times which felt uncomfortable and we were bothering him. He brought over our check without asking if we wanted any refills on drinks or anything else for that matter and we were trying to flag him down to place another dessert order. I think it's worth going for a drink and appetizer.
Lunch? Yes, please!
Lunch on a Friday! This place will make you feel as if you’ve left Rochester, NY and are on vacation. Surprised to learn after sitting with the menu that the Gumbo was 86’d at 1:00 pm - jeez, please make enough for service next time. The scallops are the best anywhere I’ve ever had them and please bring back the 1/2 portion for lunch. Such a boring dessert menu - sorry but that Sticky Toffee Pudding tastes like it is a dessert served at an elderly facility; dry, little flavor, even less sauce too! Please try the same dessert from the sticky toffee pudding company (online and sold at Whole Foods) to learn was the dessert really should taste like. Happy that the reservations issue has been sorted. We had a pleasant greeting and seating by the hostess. Keep up the good work and open for lunch more often, please.
Exceptional service.
That was the best part. We had the nicest waiter. The food was absolutely amazing, and the drinks were awesome. Definitely expensive but they make it a memorable worthwhile experience. Love the atmosphere. Very luxurious feeling.
Delicious surprise!
It was our very first visit to Redd’s. No one was disappointed. Popular place, need reservations, noise level a bit on the high side, and service (great as it was) also a bit slow. That said, the cream of asparagus soup was excellent and all entrees were absolutely amazing. Dessert is a must for us and the different choices enticing. Butterscotch pots de crème ranked #1.
evreything was wonderful.
love the food. service was great def will come back again

Enjoyed a delicious dinner 3/27/24 with a friend for my first experience at REDD. I had ordered a Cosno off the mocktail menu and enjoyed the NA take on a classic. My friend ordered the same shortly after and it took 20+ min to receive the mocktail. We started out with the tuna tartare and split the specialty wood fired pizza (which was to die for). Everything we ordered was spot on and with each bite I enjoyed everything a little bit more. The ambience was top notch and gave a sophisticated yet relaxed vibe. From drinks, to dinner, to dessert nothing was lacking except the service. Our server was very inattentive and left us waiting for the next step far too long. Had we been waited on better, we would have ordered more but we were approaching 3hrs at the restaurant. All in all, I would return but would be weary of coming during a time constraint.
Took my friend and I an hour to find parking.
Once in we were seated in the loudest restaurant I have ever been in, we could barely hear each other or the server . The menu is extremely limited, and overly priced. 15$ for a glass of wine. Was not impressed with the food especially at that cost.

Main takeaway with review of dishes to follow: In my opinion you can find better upscale food in Rochester for a price that matches the flavor. At Redd I believe you're paying mostly for ambience-- to be amongst a "fancier" crowd of Rochesterians and to have the staff perform the rituals and etiquette of a "fancy" restaurant. I had high expectations after hearing so much about Redd. But it was truly pretty mediocre for how expensive it is. I had the lobster risotto to start, and it was good but kind of lemony and not very flavorful. The arancini appetizer special was really good, probably the best thing we got, but isn't on the regular menu. I got the bouillabaisse dish for my main and it was disappointing. The mussels tasted off, very fishy and strange. I usually love mussels. My partner got the scallops and he said they were pretty good but the cauliflower/raisin/almond mash under them was not very good.
Must try if you're in the area.
Walked into a bright and welcoming dining experience. We were lucky enough to snatch two seats at the bar and the fellas behind the counter were amazing, the perfect amount of attentiveness to all their guests during a busy Friday afternoon rush. Thought we were being basic for getting the pizza but it was the perfect start, the dough was warm, soft, & crispy with soppresata in every bit. For our main dish, we shared the Wild Fluke & Clams and it was delicious! The fish was light and flaky with the right amount of sauce. All the flavors complimented each other really nicely. We'll definitely return to try some other menu items.
Best in the city.
Service is excellent, food is fun and creative often with new dishes to try.
Overrated.

The food is very good but the portions are small for the price. I feel like there are better places in town if you are looking for quality food with normal sized portions. It isn't my go-to.
The atmosphere is amazing.
Staff is friendly and catering. I personally feel that they need a little more traditional dishes on the menu. Even if it's just for lunch just so we can have a little variety.
REDD is purported to be Rochester's finest restaurant.
It may be, but on the night we dined, nothing tasted terrific, and the pricing was high. Service was fantastic, though; Giovanna at the front is the epitome of gracious. She was very accommodating. Alex was our bartender/server, and he was terrific. Even the bar manager came over to introduce himself. REDD is a well-run restaurant. We ordered two raw fish appetizers, and both were refreshing and tasteful. Yet, neither was a new flavor profile. Our two pastas, one the restaurant's signature rigatoni in a Bolognese sauce, and the other pasta was an oxtail pappardelle were fine. The rigatoni was delicious, and the pappardelle was good, but not earth-shattering. Cocktails were made with expertise, and the restaurant was designed beautifully. The lighting makes everyone look good. REDD gets an upscale crowd who are not interested in engaging. There was an "air" of arrogance amongst the patrons. The people at the bar turned their back towards us, a not-too-subtle way of saying, "Don't bother me." We had not experienced that behavior in Rochester. REDD is a great restaurant, but I don't know if it was worth $290 for two people.

Great food but a couple issues
Recently went for lunch with my wife, we had a pizza, scallops, and a salad. Pizza and scallops were awesome, salad was ok. A couple issues,it took for ever ro get our drinks at our table. Other major problem is the bathrooms. They are all unisex, my wife went and there was urine on the seat, this is unacceptable and we most likely will not return. No woman should have to deal with this.
My husband has been eager to try Redd for awhile and we
My husband has been eager to try Redd for awhile and we finally made our reservations for New Year's weekend. Quick rundown, the shining star of the evening was easily the lobster risotto and this should remain a staple on the menu indefinitely. I had two drinks and my husband had two drinks. The spicy margarita was spicy, like lots of pepper in the actual drink. It will warm you up. The Holly McClane was our server's favorite and personal recommendation. It was okay. The wood fired pizza was wood fired pizza and nothing to write home about. Our main entrees, though much anticipated both fell short of our high expectations. The eggplant dish is the only vegetarian (maybe vegan?) option on the menu. You need to really enjoy curry to enjoy this dish. Why was there only one thin slice of eggplant? My husband's entree was the NY strip. He said it was just okay and can recount other local restaurants that offer a better steak. The server was nice. The atmosphere was cool, but maybe a bit open for our liking. We could lock eyes with the tables adjacent to us and did at one point. We saw several families dining on a Saturday evening. The manager was very kind, greeted us and inquired about our visit. Upon returning, we would probably skip cocktails and I'd have the lobster risotto as an entree. Overall good dining experience. I'd venture back, but probably not anytime soon.
REDD Rochester has Turned the Corner in the Right Direction
Alert, the five year rule is in effect as it has been five or more years since we last reviewed REDD Rochester. This was our second time at REDD Rochester and it was a much better experience than the first time. The staff was excellent; many kudos to Mel A for being on top of everything as our waitress. Also the folks filling our waters were great and one kindly found out the name of one of the songs being played and even wrote it down for us. We had one of the pizzas sans cheese (muy delicioso) and the Bouillabaisse (very good, but a little bland, we added lots of crushed red pepper). There was not Prosecco on the menu but in its place we loved the Australian Jansz Sparkling Rosé. And it was a solid pour to boot! The crowd was hot for sure and we even lucked out with a great parking spot right out in front. We’ll be back far sooner than we were after our first visit, things look to be on a solid track at REDD Rochester.
Best restaurant in Western New York!
This is the best restaurant in Western New York, bar none. Have the pan-seared scallops, mushroom risotto and the Marguerita pizza. And remember to take your leftovers home which I forgot to do, and will regret it tonight when I want my midnight snack.
Pre-Concert Dinner
I came to REDD as a Pre-Concert Dinner option the place was packed on a Saturday evening, luckily, there was sitting at the bar. I ordered the Eggplant Katsu, and the Utica Greens and a glass of Bubbly Rosé. The Eggplant crispy on top of Jasmine rice with Japanese curry, Carrots, Potatoes and Tonkatsu Sauce, delicious. Utica Greens is a warm broth dish with escarole, pecorino, prosciutto, breadcrumb. Good, but at first if feels salty to the palate. Bread is good to dip into the both. The advantage of sitting at the bar is that one gets to interact with some of the people next to you. A nice young couple celebrating the husband birthday and a solo night away from their three young ones. It was a very enjoyable evening.
Amazing!
Dinner was great on all aspects. Waiter, wine and of course FOOD! We tried a lot of different plates, but each one was special and prepared in an exceptional and surprising way! I strongly sponsor REDD (and its chef Reddington) to get the first Michelin star in Rochester
Hostess Retaliation
The food was great and the service was much better than the two previous times dining at the restaurant. My gripe; the reservation was made two weeks in advance for a weekday dinner. A phone call was made to confirm the reservation. The woman answering the phone pulled up the reservation by name, no problem. We then chatted about our party sitting outside when we arrived if the weather was to our liking. She mentioned the outdoor seating is not reserved but by request once we arrive, of course if available. She did mention since our reservation was so early that we’d have ‘no problem’ getting a table on the patio. We arrived early for the reservation and there were only two tables already seated outside. It was a glorious evening and one of our party members was suffering from an injury making walking difficult. Sitting outside was a perfect remedy. The two of us waited at the patio during check-in by the other guests while the other two went inside to the hostess. They promptly came outside and told us we weren’t allowed to sit outside because we didn’t have a phone number on our reservation! WHAT?!?!?!? I walk in to the hostess and ask if we could sit outside since 98% of the tables were open. She tells me that there was no phone number on our reservation and therefore our reservation was not confirmed so, NO, we cannot sit outside! I explain that the week before I phoned to confirm and I reiterate the whole conversation. At this time the look on her face changes, I see a pink tinge come across her cheeks. As I continue to chat with her I remark that it was probably her I spoke with since her voice sounds familiar (my bad for not asking the person’s name the week before). Then she tells me that the tables are ‘all taken’ and uses the term “reserved” (!) (even though it’s only 5:15) and that there really isn’t a table for us anyway. Really? Has being a hostess turned into a power-play here in Rochester, NY?!! As we continue chatting another woman joins this hostess and they begin talking about this incident. Again, I’m told that ‘all tables are taken and I recommend leaving a phone number on your reservation next time’ - she actually says this to us. OK, girls. But it doesn’t end there. The second female that joined the conversation then followed us to our table with her tablet - inside, of course - to demand a phone number for the ‘reservation’. WTF. Now since I phoned the restaurant exactly a week before to confirm the reservation, why didn’t the woman request a phone number then if it’s such a big deal? And, why does the Resy reservation site permit us to make a reservation with or without a phone number or with an email if preferred? Classless and immature retaliation. Good luck to you both, miserable women.
One and done
I very much wanted to enjoy the experience here more. I was anticipating with a varied menu, something for everyone. The restaurant looks very sleek and modern with a nice comfortable seating plan allowing for nice conversation even on a busy Friday night. We chose to order a lot of things to share, which as a party of 6 didn’t prove as successful. In our experience, items may be max shared for two to three as they are more geared as an individual portion. That’s on us. We chose individual entrees and I can’t recommend the cioppino at all. As a fisherman’s stew, I received an abundance of potatoes and some shellfish in a very bland tomato sauce that didn’t have much seasoning or aromatics. Overall, I found the wine list to be overpriced and lacking. Service was friendly but not organized. I had a wonderful time catching up with friends and family, I just wish the restaurant stood out more.
New favorite.
Really impressed. Stuck to recommended dishes, all were excellent. Pork belly, tuna tartare, scallops, risotto. Really loved the risotto, that lemon kick was perfect. Pot au creme was really good too. Great service. We'll be back.
Steps away from the Little Theatre
REDD is bright and airy, but can get rather noisy at dinnertime. Still, I would come again (and again) for the food. My tuna tartare was perfectly seasoned. I was delighted to find that the special that night was skate, one of my favorite fish, rarely found on Rochester menus. I only wish was that it had been served on a plate, rather than a bowl, making it a little difficult to eat. Nevertheless, it was perfectly cooked. My friend's beef was slightly too rare for her taste, but it was brought up to temperature without a problem and immediately followed by an apology from the manager. The server was knowledgeable and friendly and made good suggestions. On a previous visit, I had had an appetizer, the lobster risotto; the lobster plentiful, the rice perfect and in proportion to the seafood. As it was filling, I opted for the half portion of the scallops. Again, the cook was on point, and the accompanying vegetable so tasty, that I was sorely tempted to lick the plate. If noise bothers you, REDD is open for lunch.

Great Service - amazing dinner!!
Read about the site in NYT and bought a reservation at Mother Wolf in LA 2 days later. Worked great and the food was amazing!!!
Worked perfectly!
Got the reservation (that I couldn't get anywhere else) and was able to entertain a group of friends at the infamous Bern's Steakhouse.
Got into Nobu Malibu
Wonderful! My parents are visiting and we have wanted to go to Nobu Malibu for years. I tried getting a reservation myself but it was next to impossible. So glad I was able to buy a reservation on appointment trader for a decent price!
Very easy
Was very hesitant going into this experience but am glad to say that it worked out very well ! will definitely use appointment trader in the future
Fabulous Lunch
I was veeeeeerry skeptical that this would work, particularly at a restaurant as hard to get into as Nobu Malibu, and it was perfect! We had lunch outside on the patio and it was fabulous!
Great reviewer team
Just wanted to take a second to shout out the reviewer team. Even though they probably review hundreds of listings and bids a day, they still take the time to leave great comments and respond relatively quickly. Thanks!
Incredible
I got a reservation to Don Angie, which I've been trying to book for weeks! I am very happy with this service.
Best platform out there!
Super simple, easy, and fast to secure reservations for hard-to-get restaurants and locations!
This app is life changing
This app has opened my world up to so many wonderful new experiences I would never have the chance to have without access to this awesome app! 10/10!
Worked perfectly
Was a little nervous at first but was pleased to see that the booking went through flawlessly.
Highly recommended.
Success on Short Notice
Was able to snag an indoor table at Don Angie through an absolutely seamless worry-free process.
Worked perfectly, thank you!
This is a crazy holiday season in NYC and I was very pleasantly surprised to see that AppointmentTrader works! Will be using again!
Worked flawlessly!
Worked so well! I was a bit nervous, but everything went very smoothly. purchased the reservation, and got into the restaurant seamlessly.
Love this app!
So glad I came across this app :)
Quick table in Miami
I didn’t have my hopes high as it was a party of 4. In 24 hours I had a carbone reservation available! I was very happy as my family really wanted to come here
Prime time, great meal
So easy and had a prime time which I can never seem to get on normal res apps. So worth it
Got impossible NYC res
instead of waiting weeks I got my 4 charles reservation instantly
Worked perfectly to get into Carbone. So delighted
perfect
Worked well, got me into a restaurant with no availability
I was skeptical, and I still don't really know how they managed to find this hard-to-find reservation, but it was a win-win from my point of view, and I'll use this service again.
Last minute reservation for Delilah Las Vegas
Got a last minute reservation, dinner for 2 at Delilah Las Vegas: super impressed! The process was simple, transaction seamless. We had an amazing time! Couldn’t be happier! 😍
It works!
Ok at this point I've attended a reservation purchased on AT by a friend and sold a reservation personally. Both worked pretty smoothly, nothing sketchy about it. A few areas for improvement including a way to more directly communicate between buyers and sellers, but the app always seems to be in development. AT customer support is really(!) responsive and helpful too if you have questions!
Money transfer
As a seller, I like the fact i have the ability now to transfer money out of my AT account and into a bank account. Makes getting the money much easier then the process before.
Love this app
Got to go to places otherwise unreachable
Easy Access
Very easy to get into one of the hardest restaurants to reserve in New York.
Whose name will my reservation be under when I arrive at the venue?
It can be under your name or a name you choose! Some reservation offers already include the AppointmentTrader Transfer Service which will transfer the reservation in to your name. If its not included you can add it on after buying the reservation for a small fee. One thing on that though: As many reservations become available at last minute, taking a reservation in someone else name is quick and great for privacy. Most reservations on AT are listed with a virtual phone number, so all you need to do is present the phone number at the hostess stand and you are good to go!
Payouts Blocked Because of Sell Through Rate
Does anyone know how AT plans to handle cases where a seller is quitting the platform but has a sell through rate <25%? The error message I got said to fill more bids or find other ways to increase the rate.
Is AT really going to block sellers from withdrawing their money? Especially revenue made before the sell through rate was introduced??
Tune into NBC News - Top Story Tonight 7:40p ET
Let’s go. Get more people placing bids!
I will give you 50% of ALL of my PROFITS if you teach me how to make profits?
LOL. Thank you The New Yorker.
Appointment
Transferring reservations is not supported in AT. Why not just use the name in the AT screenshot?
Buyers interested in Bern's Steakhouse: PLEASE READ
Same goes for 4 Charles and I Sodi
Prepaid Reservation Fee
Agreed. Ultimately not addressing this month after month is clearly resulting in a drop in certain venue’s rankings & sales.
Congrats on 3 mil
🍾🍾🍾🍾🍾🍾🧨🧨🧨 now on to 30 mill!
Need to cancel a bid, not getting a response… how do I do it?
Click on "Take off the Market Option" in your portfolio
Working on your bid?
Your bid has been “matched” with a reservation. From the time a reservation has been located, the seller of the reservation must connect with moderator to give transfer information for reservation. If the seller;however, does NOT respond to reservation transfer, then your bid is reprocessed and returns to the first step, which is connecting your request to a reservation.
Process after bid is accepted.
Hey @EvocativeFold67, welcome to appointmenttrader! Once the reservation is in your portfolio, you definitely own the timeslot, the review team would not have approved the trade if the reservation wasn't confirmed - so you are going :-) Judging from your post you bid today and are going tomorrow - don't worry as long as you initiated the name transfer, you are good - the transfer service has to work with the opening hours of the reservation team of the respective venue. You will likely see the transfer confirmation a couple hours before your reservation time.
Where do the Reservations on AppointmentTrader come from?
Mostly from people who don't need their reservations or appointments any longer. AT has no relationship with places listed and acts as a platform connecting buyers and sellers making sure that listed reservations are real and that privacy is not compromised when transacting.
What happens if my bid expires unanswered?
Hey @FluffyStar64, thanks for the question! When you place your bid the amount gets transferred in a deposit account, the second you either cancel your bid or a few minutes after the bid expires the funds are moved back into your main account from where you can refund it to your payment method or use for other transactions.
