“2nd visit. It was a quite night, the staff informed us that was due to ”spring break”. This restaurant has a warm, fun atmosphere. We were given a “tour” of the two main floor dining rooms and learned about the history of the building and Wausau itself buy the pictures hanging on the walls. The staff was attentive. Extensive wine list, bartender gave a quick lesson of Gins (differences between London dry and botanical) to one of our guests. With spring around the corner, I enjoyed the zucchini pasta.“

“I gotta say, once you've had halibut in Alaska it's nerve wrecking to order it anywhere else. You hit the mark and then some. Not only was the halibut perfect and fresh, but the pairings were spot on! I'm having dreams about the organic creamed corn with nueske's bacon and black trumpet mushrooms. I cleared the whole plate after lots of appetizers, and ate some of my wife's delicious steak!

Well done! We are never disappointed when we go to Redeye! Scarlet 7 is amazing, gonna have to come by with some growlers to fill!“

“This place is a great little find! Happened upon it by chance, but I'm glad I did. The Gyro meat was tender, and the homemade Tzatziki sauce has a great flavor that doesn't overpower the rest of the gyro. The baklava has a really good flaky Philo dough, and the filling is nutty and not too sweet. Highly recommend this place. I'm looking to try the baba ghanoush next time I'm in town.“

“During a non-busy time, we had to wait over 20 mins for a server. would have been longer if one of their good servers wouldn't have noticed us sitting there for that long and not even have drinks. He went and got our server who didn't apologize and acted like nothing happened. she then continued to ignore us throughout our meal, even walking past the table while a empty drink glass sits at the end of it. after about 10 mins I had to ask a different employee for a refill. if you like to be ignored cone to wausau mine. we will not be returning.“
