Lps Freaks Review of Red's Old 395

Lot of empty yet dressed tables when we arrived. 3-4 employees standing and giggling at register area. Hmmmm . 10 minute wait, then guided by hostess past empty table after empty table, with a few scattered patrons, we (3 in my party) were seated. As far back left as you can get. Nice table, clean, friendly waiter Alfredo. We quickly ordered our drinks after hearing it was happy hour. Neither of our drinks made the happy hour menu. Miller lite, bottle and Pinot Grigio. Hmmmm.
We ordered onion strings for appetizer. They arrived pretty fast. Extra plates and we dug in. Only to find the "onions" were cold, waxy and flat out disappointing. Hmmmmmm. Alfredo took our order for sweet potato fries and ant the onions back. Hot and tasty the pototoes arrived to us.
My husband ordered a flat iron dinner. Warm meal is a stretch. Steak was medium. Ordered medium rare. I ordered the Duce. Again, nothing hot about the food. Ribs were tough but tasty. Horrid cold onions on plate again, yet sausages were tasty. Cornbread was in middle of plate. Odd place to butter and enjoy. Hmmmm. Granddaughter ordered mac and cheese. Green olive halves and a leaf of kale made a debut on the mac and cheese. I think it was an attempt at humor off the kids menu. But green olives and kale that covered to dish? Hmmmmmm.
Finally, our 6 year old daughter was given a full view of a naked woman sprawled on a couch portrait. I too was offended that Reds so flippantly believes we consumers want to see naked people while dining. I truly believe a vintage portrait tastefully dressed would be appropriate. Your photo belongs in a saloon.
Upon leaving, I left a comment card for Alfredo's sake. HE truly waited our table professionally. Hence the 2 stars given.
As we made our way to the front to leave, 2 girl employees giggling preoccupied at counter, I waiting to be acknowledged for where to leave my comments.
I'm sad to say, this was our first and last visit to Red's 395. Carson City, NV.
