We stopped here on the way up north camping for a good meal. The food was very good but the server seemed like we disturbing her. Not friendly at all. Maybe it was the fact we had our 3 kids with. Even one of our kids asked why she was crabby.

I love seafood, and on my recent visit to The Red Geranium I decided to try this entree from the dinner menu. I have had Tilapia at other restaurants throughout the country. Many are undercooked or cold when they arrive at the table, others just do not have a great flavor. This was not the case at the Red Geranium.... More

My husband and I went to the Red Geranium for dinner this weekend. My favorite dinner here is the salad, top sirloin steak, baked potato with sour cream, and a glass of pinot noir. It was great as usual. The steak is very tender, and salad is well beyond the simple iceberg lettuce approach of many restaurants. My husband got... More

This was our 2nd visit. Last year we had a wonderful experience. This time NOT! It was a party of eight friends, on a Thursday eveing, and the restaurant was not busy. Many of us ordered the special - Chicken Oscar. Veggies and potatoes on most plates were cool. When rewarmed, (microwaved?) entrees (chicken) were then tough and over cooked,... More

First of all, we are truly sorry that your last visit here was not satisfactory and not up to our expected standards. I was the manager that night, and I remember your party very well. You were an upbeat., enjoyable group to serve, and I was surprised to hear how upset you were with your meals. After the server presented... More

Food was wayyyy overpriced for what it is.....an old house with geranium wallpaper, overlooking highway where we felt we had to lift our pinkies to sip our water. Perfect for the purse clinching senior crowd who like their fruit salads and chicken salad croissants. Server was very pleasant.

The Red Geranium has the nicest atmosphere with music as a back ground and a quite place to enjoy lunch or dinner. The house atmosphere is quaint and enjoyable and their year round porch is very nice ! The food is exceptional in taste and quality down to their warm rolls and Shea crab soup! Friday night fish frys are... More

We weren't able to order off the regular menu, but were pleasantly surprised with what was offered on the Thanksgiving menu. The food was delicious and the service was excellent. We will definitely go back to try out items on the regular menu.
