The Red Herring Restaurant & Bar in Waco provides a refined dining experience that feels like an escape from the city. The menu features a mix of Mediterranean-inspired dishes such as Lamb Chops with Harissa, Grilled Banzino, and a chocolate mousse dessert. The use of wood-fired grilling adds a special flavor to many dishes. The interior is elegant, with curved booths and a stunning centerpiece bar, creating a classy and beautiful atmosphere. The restaurant offers shareable tapas-style plates and main entrées, with menu items influenced by Mediterranean, Italian, and American cuisines. Dishes like kofta, hummus, chicken skewers, foccacia, and cacio e pepe are highly recommended. The pork ribs are large and filling, perfect for those seeking a hearty meal. The desserts, especially the chocolate mousse with huckleberry, are delicious and well-loved. The staff, including servers like Nolen, provide excellent service, and the hospitality is warm. The restaurant occasionally features live music, such as a pianist playing on the babygrand piano, adding to the special experience. While the menu offers smaller portions typical of European-style dining, the overall quality, atmosphere, and location make it a highly recommended spot for a romantic date night or special occasion.
