This place never disappoints! I've been here a couple times but usually was for dinner. Their curries are must-try, and other dishes are creative art works as well. It's always difficult to decide what to order because they are all sooooo good! We went for brunch on the weekend for the first time, and was mind blown again! Everything looks delicious on the menu, and so are the daily specials! Luckily there were three of us and we get to try 4 dishes! The daily curry special was my pick again, and it wows me every time! My mates ordered the crab & egg and steak Benedict, oh my both are to die for! Definitely the spot to be when I want to show friends a good time or for any special anniversary ;)
Had lunch their today! The service was exceptional. Our server went above and beyond! The curry dish, falafel wrap, ceasar salad and lemon meringue pie were to die for! Incredibly tasty! Can't wait to go back! #lickedtheplateclean

Hi everyone - I'm not a friend of a friend, just a diner. Six of us had a mixed experience on Saturday, October 21.
The service was excellence. We had the pleasure of having a very attentive server that really understood that serving is a serious profession. She was pleasant and attentive allowing us time between courses and checking in with us to make sure we had everything we needed for a good dining experience. The only thing we had to ask for was for her to take a group shot picture! She sets the gold standard for what an exceptional server should strive for.
The meal began with two wonderful charcuterie plates - great meats, pickled veg and other delights.
For a second course, we all ordered the Caesar salad - sadly, this was a mistake. The menu item is not a successful salad and far from a Caesar. A Caesar salad is a pedestrian choice at the best of times yet when poorly done, is a disaster. Pedestrian, but like a proper Italian classic (which the Caesar salad isn't), simple, good ingredients, prepared properly are wonderful. Unfortunately, this was not the case for this salad. Individual flavors jumped out and stung the palette (with full anchovies, large pieces of radicchio and chunks of cucumber). If you're familiar with a Caesar salad, sadly, you will be disappointed in this one.
The main dishes however, were all unanimously delicious, beautifully executed and enjoyed by all. The in-house curry was authentic with just the right combination of spices and heat (so good, we bought some to take home). Steaks were perfectly grilled, the duck dish was delicious and the vegetarian options were above average.
Overall, I would return and certainly recommend the Red House as a great dining experience.
I've got one thing to say about this place ... It's effing amazing!!!! Service was quick and friendly. Best Caesar in Kitchener Waterloo, hands down ... The chef is a friend of a friend and is doing some outstandingly creative stuff with quality local ingredients. Much love my friends at RED HOUSE 💕
Their food is impeccable. Every dish had a story to tell, and I've never had a more palatable meal. We ordered the charcuterie for appetizer. One word: heaven. For entree, we got to dive into the coq au vin and lamb porterhouse. Absolutely incredible. For dessert we got the chocolate & mint and pumpkin cheesecake. It was party in my tastebuds. All in all, I've had a refreshing and enriching experience at this restaurant. May I add, their interior and plating is above par. Very eclectic. Definitely going back!
Great little place!. I took my girlfriend for a nice night on a Tuesday, and it was packed! It doesn't seat too many so be sure to get a reservation.. Although the patio would help in the summer. The food was phenomenal, and the service great. We tried the home made perogies, and their gnocchi.. Both incredible. Would definitely recommend it for intimate dining!
Fantastic Experience, Great Service. What a great restaurant. Second time at this fantastic spot - and it was delightful - again. Had the Berry salad and short Rib dinner - with a nice dessert. Service was fast and friendly. When you go in, make sure to ask for Molly. She was attentive and made us feel welcome. A must try if you are visiting or live in Waterloo Region.

Best Meal Out in a Long Time! Highly Recommend RED HOUSE. I pass Red House everyday and think, 'what a cute little place, I have to try it some time.' I wish I tried it sooner! This is the best meal I've had out in a long time! It's pricier than I would usually budget but this was an anniversary dinner. The service was very professional, yet personable. It's a small space so it gets busy, make a reservation. The cocktails are unique, I tried a rhubarb basil cocktail with gin. It was phenomenal. We ordered cesear salads to start. They are huge! You definitely get your moneys-worth. Lots of bacon and hard-boiled eggs. I tend to find cesear salad dressings are greasy at most restaurants so I was very pleased with the dressing at Red House. I ordered the bird (like quail, similar to a chicken entree). It was too die for! So much flavour! I was also expecting a tiny gourmet meal on a big plate because this place is so tiny and fancy. This was not the case! It was huge! Now that I have tasted truly delicious food at Red House it's going to be hard to enjoy food elsewhere. Absolutely stellar service and food!
Great New Location!. My husband took my daughter and myself to Red House for an early Mother's Day dinner. The food was wonderful and all the vegetables were crisp and fresh. I loved the Iron Horse Trail salad, and my husband couldn't stop raving about his Chef Dan's Curry Bowl. My 4 year old of course ordered the noodles with cheese sauce, and they were more than willing to add mushrooms to it for her; her ice cream dessert was a 'broken' ice cream, which she loved to dip in the cake crumbs once she got over the initial surprise of her ice cream being upside down. My husband finished with a dessert of berries and I had the Ferrero Rocher dessert which was absolutely amazing! Service was great, atmosphere was great. I wish I had taken some photos to post, but I've found Red House on facebook and they have some photos on there. I'll definitely be back :)
When you peruse the menu you see a lot of bistro favourites to pick from. Basically the idea at Red House is to provide fresh food inspired by quality ingredients.
Impressive place for a nice night out. The food was fantastic and nicely presented. The soup options on the day we visited were coconut Thai soup (spicy) and chickpea soup (mild). For mains, we had the lamb spaghetti and the Lebanese Cornish hen. Both were great. The cornish hen is a breaded cutlet rather than a whole (or half) bird. The spinach and beet salad was quite tasty and the portion size was big. We had the cardamom cheesecake which was beautifully presented and delicious. I highly recommend this place. Parking was difficult to find. We ended up parking at the LCBO and then walking to the restaurant.
The Red House is a top notch culinary experience and is an amazing spot to eat. Small and intimate, the food is delicious and well worth the slightly higher than average cost. I recommend the bone marrow to start and finish with a crème brûlée. Your main will be delicious regardless of which you choose! 5 star service and 5 star food!
8/28/2021- Amazing culinary experience. Fresh ingredients, mouthwatering flavours, creatively mixed menu of standard and Guyanese recipes that are guaranteed to tempt any palate. Your meal may be paired with a fresh fruit cocktail or a stunning wine offering from their select cellar. You will not be disappointed. I visited with 5 family members and every meal was a hit around the table. A rare experience in any eatery. I will be back!
We’ve been eyeing this place for quite some time now and I’m really happy we got to go! Food was delicious - my fiancé got the Beef’n’Blue and I got the house special for the night which was Thai-styled ribs with sticky rice. Our server was really knowledgeable and I think the prices are pretty fair/affordable considering the quality of food you’re getting. The only thing that I didn’t like was that the tables were really close to one another so it lacked intimacy and felt awkward that we could hear each other’s conversations… but from a business standpoint, I completely understand - trying to utilize the space as best as possible and get as many people seated!
Dan & co. prepare outstanding dinners. Our family orders takeout regularly. Favourites incl. the curry dishes, the acorn squash, various seafood apps and entrees, and any ragout dish. Delivered food arrives warm, on time. Food flavours are in a class of their own. The Red House is one of the top restaurants in town.
Overall there are unique foods that are carefully designed, and I really enjoyed some of the tastes. Not the most delicious restaurant to visit from my point of view, but it worth you to give a try if you want different tastes comparing to other restaurants. (personally I suggests the ribs as entree and lemon meringue pie as dessert)
Imagine a date night in Uptown Waterloo, but somewhere not as busy, say a bit more ‘exclusive’.
Red House came as a strong recommendation from our friends and we have to say it defs stands up to the claims!
We got the 8oz steak’n’perogies, vegan soup, and vegan entree (shown below, sorry forgot the name).
The staff was super nice and accommodating, the menu had not too many, but not too few options - would come again :)
Amazing! Great for a chic but not super expensive dinner date. The spaghetti is sooooo good! As well as their juices, and the servers are super friendly. Jasmine did a wonderful job for us.
