Red Door Redux

red door redux. ok, mark abernathy has redeemed himself in my book. a second visit to red door was almost perfect. the wedge salad ($5) was cold, crisp & perfectly dressed - each bite the perfect mix of dressing, bacon & bleu cheese, right to the last bite. next up, was the chicken piccata ($11) with mashed potatoes and a side of asparagus ($4). the chicken breast, lightly dusted with flour (or bread crumbs, i don’t remember, i was drunk) and perfectly pan fried, moist, tender and delicious. the mashed potatoes were yum & the asparagus fab. mark abernathy (owner) came to give a welcome and a hello ~ that wins me over every time. the ‘almost perfect’ part? the waiter told us to go to Bonefish for dessert. ok, i don’t even want to waste blog space on his absurd recommendation. here's my recommendation; if you stay away from the fish & chips and sit in the front half of the restaurant...you’ll most likely have a wonderful meal. i get it this time, i think abernathy is going for the brasserie experience. it’s not perfect, but i get it & this time, the food was great. & yes, before i left, i snitched out the waiter’s dessert advice to mark abernathy.
