The Red Hen is a restaurant that presents its food in a simple yet appetizing manner. The ingredients are carefully prepared, resulting in delicious and satisfying dishes. The staff is friendly and helpful, even when customers bring along young children. However, the restaurant may be too busy at times.
The menu offers a variety of pasta dishes, including mezzi rigatoni, garganelli with spicy lamb sausage, and squid ink linguini. The arancini and bread are also noteworthy. While the whipped ricotta crostini was not a favorite among some reviewers, the carrot cake was praised for its moistness and the ginger gelato it was paired with.
Although the restaurant's wine list does not include California wines, it is encouraged to try something new. The Red Hen is a great neighborhood restaurant with an intimate atmosphere, making it an excellent choice for a special occasion or a casual dinner.
