Red Tracton's Steakhouse

Amazing experience! The tables were clean, and the servers were polite! (I didn't go to the bathrooms, so I'm not sure about those) The main dishes take a while to get out, I recommend checking out the menu before you go or at least order an appetizer and your entrée at the same time. By the time you get the entrée the appetizer will have settled! Prime rib bites were an amazing appetizer. They come with some type of broth to dip it in. Oh my goodness, it makes you want to know the recipe! Took a while for our server to attend to us after we received and finished our entrée. We went on a Saturday night. It got a little busy around 7 pm, so I understood, but geesh, I was ready to leave! Overall it was great, I was a little surprised at the sparatic moments of banging in the kitchen, and of the young man whom you can tell is in charge. A few loud disruptive bangs from the kitchen, as well as the head guy constantly talking/yelling loud about what needed to happen around the restaurant. All disruptive enough to mention here! My preference is to not be startled about another table needing a high chair.. anyway! Great experience overall. I'll probably go back only for the piano bar and dessert, when I'm feeling bougie, because this place is really expensive.

Not a restaurant that I would consider returning to. The server was very pleasant however, the food was not good. We started with a lemon drop martini that had an off taste and very little of a lemon flavor. The appetizers we ordered were the potato skins and bacon wrapped scallops. Neither appetizer were edible. The potato skins tasted like they were fried and old grease, and the bacon wrapped scallops did not taste like scallops at all. The clam chowder was decent. After the experience of the appetizers, we opted to not order dinner.

Amazing! We had the Tuna, filet with béarnaise, and mac and cheese. The service and ambience was excellent. Pricey but matched how high quality the food was.

Absolutely fantastic New Year's Eve dinner and party ... Food was great ... Service was super and Gaby our server was just so personable and fun ... Music is always good and everyone was having a blast. This is always a great restaurant for dinner or even just cocktails ... Best steaks in San Diego and a treasure !! Rolf

The evaluation was based on my experience on new year's dinner only l am a fan of this restaurant and l know they can deliver an outstanding experience. l shall have dinner again in the near future.

Liked the food & our server gave great service, food is extremely expensive, small portions, ordered 2 jumbo shrimp for 26$ they were extremely small and not worth the $$ I paid. I will NOT be going back to this restaurant.

First time here. A really great old school restaurant. The food was fantastic and we loved the piano bar. Will make it more often now

It used to be good...$58 for a crab Louie salad and very little crab and the very small legs still had tendons in it. Guess like all restaurants prices are up and quality is heading down. So sad.

We were sat next to a very loud table. Asked to move but said they were leaving soon. They stayed about a half hour longer. Food was ok not like we have had previous visits. Small portions, no taste. Salad soggy, shrimp tuff. This use to be our favorite, times change. Much better options for this price point. Big pass.

Our fillet mignon were over done which really takes away from the experience. This has been the case twice in row.

The best part of my dining experience was the staff. From the Valet to the Bus Boy they were professional and kind and made me feel appreciated. I especially enjoyed the waitress - she was knowledgeable and helpful. The food was excellent and cooked to my specifications. I had steak and baked potato, my guests enjoyed their scallops, lobster bisque, crab cakes, salad and seafood pasta. The atmosphere was wonderful with that Old School Rat Pack vibe. I would reccomend this place to anyone with time to relax and enjoy a good meal.

Sunday night Southern Fried Chicken night .... Holy smokes ! Had heard of it .., Not saying it's full Of flavor but full Of taste , plenty of food ... $40 for a full chicken and sides - mashed potato's , green beans , Cole slaw , corn bread . Very enjoyable , with PLENTY of leftovers - I say yes !

Our server was amazing. She was under a lot of pressure and was able to manage all her tables in the best possible manner. I don't remember her name unfortunately but will call in to make sure she is recognized. Thank you Red Tracton!

This is probably the best old school steak in the county. I love this place. Friendly staff and always high quality food. Highly recommend for an authentic coastal steakhouse experience

food was very good, drinks excellent, service was excellent, music was good. A very lively atmosphere even on a slower evening
