The Red Lion

a pub experience...it almost feels like it's a franchise operation. take bennigans and make the food and drinks actually very good and authentic. the crowd is older - late 20's and up. families dine here too. they had pims at the bar -and the bar tender knew what it was, so there. as for happy hour, mostly 30-ish and up. upscale attire, but showing up in anything that reeks style (torn jeans? well, use your discretion). anyway, i've never felt 'uncomfortable' in a polo-type shirt and jeans. but do wear a belt. for similar comparison: see 'the black lab' (which i'd rate just a tad bit better). the bar people are friendly, and some of the waitresses have a london east-enders' accent which may make a guy feel sort' o randy at times, eh?

The Red Lion has everything that I would ever want in an English Pub and more. The reason I say and more is because I spent the first thirty years of my life in England and the last thirty in America looking for something comparable. Frankly, I found England's equal and then some. Plus, having Craig as mine host is the icing on the cake.

Red Lion--Great food. Authentic pub atmosphere. If you are not at the Red Lion then you are compromising.

I have been frequenting the Red Lion for about 3 years now. The food is so incredibly tasty (thanks to Chef Kevin and crew) and the service is awesome. Great experienced bartenders. I feel at home the moment I step inside. The curry is out of this world (a choice out of 6 different curries and a pint of beer $14 on Wednesdays!!!) its hard to compare to any curry house in town. I definitely would not want to miss out on this pub. A stellar experience all the time.

This is a great pub and is First Class whether you measure it by the food, the beer quality or the friendly service. The owner and the staff do a tremendous job and are very friendly and responsive. The curry is excellent and the whole menu is imaginative and frequently refreshed. I thoroughly recommend you try it (just leave me a stall at the bar)

My girlfriend and I found this place a couple of years ago and we've been hooked ever since.
From the moment we walk through the door the experiece is fantastic. The staff are friendly, and go out of their way to get to know the customers. The beer is great. The menu is varied and the food superb. Try the Curry, or the Fish & Chips, or maybe the Thai Fish Soup.... keep going, you'll get through the menu eventually.
I particularly like the fact that if I sit at the bar I end up in a conversation with strangers, just as a pub should be.
The owner has done a great jon here, the atmosphere is just like my old local in England and my American girlfriend feels completely comfortable in here by herself.
Can I give 6 stars?
