Red House,

158 Main Street, Deep River, CT 06417

"Delicious food, superb quality, and reasonable prices. Normally these things don’t go together, but somehow, Red House has found a way to deliver all three. Here’s how I would describe it: If there were ever such a thing as a speakeasy but in a food-sense, this would be it. The cover, from the outside, is what you would think is a normal, everyday, local restaurant. Maybe a place to grab a burger and a beer (which you absolutely could, and should do). But when you go inside and give it a try, you’ll quickly realize, this is far more than a burger joint. The dishes coming out of the kitchen are so good, and of such high quality, it actually might take you by surprise. The Brick-Pressed Chicken might be one of the best chicken dishes you will find in the region. Their specials rival those from any of the restaurants along the shoreline. The ingredients they are using, from the locally sourced bread and pasta, to the fresh vegetables, and meats, really come together under the talent of the culinary staff in the kitchen. I guess the proper term would be, a hidden gem. Great job Red House!"

"We had a great dinner with family and kids, the food was superb and so is the atmosphere and the service."

"We really liked Red House and will definitely be coming back. The pretzel appetizer with queso was amazing! It's like two pretzel cones, so good for splitting with someone. I also got the brisket platter, which was maybe just a little too spicy for my taste, but I don't like things spicy. Also got dessert, the cookie + ice cream was great. Layer of cookie on an oval skillet (PIPING HOT) with two scoops of ice cream on top. It was incredible, but could've used another scoop of ice cream, honestly. Two scoops stood no chance against that kind of heat."

"Fast service, food came out from kitchen quickly, server was attentive and checked back a few times. I'd come back. I had the Southwestern Shrimp salad...(order the dressing on the side, wish I had)"

"We had an excellent time here. Nice servers, awesome food and incredible vibe...if they do live music nights or DJs I would totally come back for something like that."
