Lakeside New American spot with standout brunch, popular crab dip, and strong event hosting; occasional service lapses and noise, but overall a reliable local favorite.
Restaurant Summary
Set on Lake Thoreau, Red's Table feels warm and stylish with a patio that turns brunch into a mini escape. Guests describe staff as kind and attentive, especially for celebrations, and several call out the crab dip as a must. However, expect a lively dining room at peak times, with occasional delays on busy nights. The kitchen leans New American, comfort-forward with a few creative twists—think octopus with romesco and lobster pappardelle beside burgers and Benedicts. Dishes are generally flavorful and well-presented, with brunch consistently praised. A few plates underwhelm here and there, but most diners find the lakeside setting and reliable hits like the crab dip make it worth the visit. Families are well covered. There is a full kids menu (tenders, mac and cheese, cheeseburger, pasta) and a separate kids brunch list, plus familiar sides like fries and waffles. If you want a calm setting, ask for the patio when weather allows; indoors can be quite loud during rush.
