We were happily greeted by Nora and Brianne and guided to our table. We had a wonderful lunch with oxtail soup with lots of meat and tomatoes in it, fresh baked bread for an appetizer. Janice had the veal and salad that she said was delicious and I had the beer battered perch and Caesar salad that was great. We... More

The Red Pump used to be a place we visited each summer. Our last visit during the summer of 2011 was a disaster. We waited over an hour between our first courses and main courses. The turkey scallopini that two guess ordered was so skimpy that I wondered if the kitchen only had one serving of scallopini left, and decided... More

The waitress was just okay. We felt her heart wasn't in her work until near the end when we realized she was totally disrespectful. We were there with another couple and we asked for separate bills. On the way back from the ladies room shortly after this we overheard her complaining to the lady on the desk that we wanted... More

Had dinner there this weekend, and was excited and preparing for a fine dining experience. My group of 10 were roundly disappointed by all of the meals. At $38 for a half rack of lamb, one could hope that there would be more meat available than that found under a butcher's thumbnail. The $15 shrimp salad appetizer boasted 5 small... More

For the price that I paid I was given very little food. This was quite a while ago but the memory still lingers. You should never go away from a resturant hungry especially when you pay that price for the food.

We arrived dressed up and expecting a wonderful dining experience. Our waitress was clumsy. Didn't come and take away our dishes right away and we poured our own wine. Asked if they could took take a group picture and said she had no time. Then our entres arrived. One hour after our drink order. They boasted the vegan Tofu dish.... More

We sat in the back garden for a mid-day drink. Very pleasant surroundings and friendly staff. Will return for a meal. We loved what the owners have done with the place - fascinated with each room.
