Chef Mark Shenk makes a delicious habit of serving creative comfort food in small, neighborhoody places (at small, neighborhoody prices). The menu, like the crimson-walled restaurant, is petite but intriguing, with appetizers like risotto cakes with chicken-liver sauce and pancetta, heaping open-faced sandwiches, and raspberry-crowned crème brûlée for dessert. — Rob Patronite and Robin Raisfeld

Red Cafe was nondiscript but looked like a place I would like. A friend and myself went in and were delighted with what we found. We shared the Fried Calamari which was seasoned in a way I've never had it before. It came with two dipping sauces which were excellent. My friend had the absolutely delicious pecan chicken and I had the pork burger. I've never really heard of a pork burger but it was very juicy, greatly complimented by a sauce that I cant remember the name of and came on a great toasted bun. We were both impressed with the food and I liked the small, somewhat cramped atmosphere of the place. Overall it was awesome and I will definitley be going back.
