    Always love our dinner here! 5th visit since they opened. Savannah was an absolute pleasure of a waitress and even though for the first time we were seated in a room away from everybody that was kinda weird, she took great care of us. Everything was wonderful and the addition of a chocolate dessert ( FINALLY!! Keep it on please!) made it even better. ONLY comment I have is I feel they are pricing themselves out of us and others coming more often.

    I had made reservations months before and at the beginning of the week of our reservation, they announced the restaurant was permanently closing the night we were to be there. I was a bit concerned that the menu would be limited but the full menu was available. As I had previously heard, the food and service was fantastic. We had ordered the bbq chicken, pasta with scallops, ricotta bread and some drinks. The atmosphere was excellent and despite them permanently closing that evening, it felt like everyone wanted Red Feather to go out on top.
