The restaurant was not up to the standards we have come to expect. Our friend asked to send back the duck because it was tasteless. The hostess accepted the return but was argumentative and condescending; the waitress was polite and professional. The Cavatalli dishes that my wife and I ordered were poor but we didn't send them back. They had what I can describe as a crust, as if they were sitting under heating lamps too long, making the pasta tough. Our friend's husband enjoyed the liver. I was ill the next morning, not to make a direct connection to the food, but I can't think of any other possible causes of GI discomfort since I ate lightly during the day.

We love this place since it’s opening. T HD ey failed us on takeout last night and when I called to politely discuss was met with excuses. Our burger fell through the container, my fries were COLD, my Caesar salad had three croutons. The Red Onion-even its previous takeout-is usually five stars.

This is a definitely state-of-the-art restaurant. Everything we had was top-notch. The wine was perfect. The service was perfect. The atmosphere was perfect. The oysters were absolutely perfect. The lamb was perfect. And the facility was perfect.

Our recent dining experience at The Red Onion Restaurant & Bar was nothing short of exceptional. From the moment we stepped in, we were greeted by a beautiful space exuding warmth and elegance. The attentive service throughout the evening added to the overall enjoyment.Starting off with cocktails, each sip was crafted to perfection. The Thai mussels were incredibly fresh and bursting with flavor. The scallops, cooked to a buttery perfection, paired wonderfully with the creamy risotto.The highlight of the evening was undoubtedly the steak, cooked medium rare and complemented by a rich, flavorful sauce. Every bite was a delight!Overall, The Red Onion exceeded my expectations in every aspect. I highly recommend it to anyone looking for a memorable dining experience in the Woodstock area.

Had the chopped salad with chicken breast, and my friend had the seafood risotto. Both are delicious. Thank you chef. Staff was pleasant and on point. Will visit again when I'm in the area.

Everything was perfect, the food, the service, the ambiance, incredible. An almost perfect date night, until a group was sat right behind us with a dog in their party. The dog sat in its owners lap and was being fed food from the table. I love dogs but dogs DO NOT belong in restaurants. My partner is also allergic! This seriously threw a wrench in what was a lovely, almost perfect dinner. It was also in violation of certain NYS laws about pets in restaurants. Only service dogs allowed. This was definitely not a service dog. I was very disappointed that the staff allowed this in their dining room. Please do better.

Valentine's Day was our first time eating here. We were blown away. The upstairs dining room was the perfect atmosphere for the night. Service was stellar. The drink specials were awesome. We had the calamari to start and then the braised short ribs for me and the ravioli for my girlfriend. We capped it off with after dinner drinks and desserts. We had a great time and it was well worth the price! We will be back!
My first time here, and ALL of the food was delicious. Had the perogies, short rib, carrots, and sticky toffee pudding. No complaints about any of it, and would absolutely order the same things again. Drinks were also good, and service was fast and attentive. Will be coming back again!

Have been there many times, and the food is pretty good, generally speaking. However, they almost never change their menu, which is heavily meat based and hardy with staples like mashed potatoes. There a bit of a lack of fresh vegetables, especially in the summer, a lack of fresh salads and summer vegetables. The one salad, beet with arugula is often slightly soggy. Meat eaters however, really enjoy their meats and they’re well prepared.Also think, having a curry as the only vegetarian option (besides fish) is an odd choice. There’s also curry in the mussels, and almost all dishes have lots of garlic, which always makes me wary if chefs need to overuse that ingredient.Regarding the atmosphere, the table next to the kitchen, where they often place large groups needs to be eliminated. It’s totally cramped dining; kitchen staff is constantly walking by very closely in the busiest area of the restaurant. Further, there are two vents in the floor shooting up hot or cold air, depending on the season, right under peoples chairs. Unbearable if you sit on one of these vents and totally unacceptable-also for hygiene reasons- having that stuff blow up, onto your table and into your food.

We love this place. Always great food and service. Chadwick was on point. We had the new dish below and it was amazing. It’s the new Cod special. Ray makes the most excellent cocktails ? The new fresh look inside is warm, refreshing and always intimate. Great job on the new lighting. I’ve almost set a couple menus on fire with the old candles trying to see the words without my glasses. ?If you have never been, you don’t know what you’re missing. If you’re a regular like we are, you know exactly how we feel. Great job ?? to all who make this “meal” an experience of tasteful pleasure.
