    The food is good and the price is excellent(We ordered from the lunch pre fixe menu. For $39.99, we got more than we expected. Of course, we had ordered the garlic bread separately but it’s o must whenever we go there. Strongly recommended. And the service was excellent, very professional. In the summer time, you can sit outside and enjoy the city. Internal design is elegant, everything is spotless. Our family really loves the Redeye. Whenever I have friends visiting NY4, this is my first choice to treat them for meals.

    The services are great, very polite and professional. Due to our diet, we asked to change the menu a bit, and the chef was able to accommodate without additional charges. Told us the price when going over the specials ( very few restaurants do so). The food is very good, Oyster is the best I have had for while. Fish was done just right with lots of flavors. My husband had steak and was very happy with it. We also had three appetizers, they are all very delicious! This is our new favorite restaurant!!
