Executive Chef Tom Dunklin takes full advantage of a wealth of local and regional ingredients as he and his team orchestrate the workings of Red Star's aromatic wood-fired brick oven, rotisserie, smoker and a sizzling grill, all of which are visible in the open kitchen of our 200 seat restaurant. Dishes reflect the culinary riches found in the nearby coast and waterways, the close proximity to Oregon's wine country and the nearby farms.
Pros: Service & cocktails
Cons: meat was cold when it came to the table, accompaniments did not work well together, portions were small, fish was bland, and overpriced. Not to mention 3 out of 4 of us got sick within two hours of eating there.

There is a saying in French: comme ci, comme ca. And that is Red Star-- somewhat good and sometimes bad. I hope they have improved their overpriced spinach ravioli, because I actually tasted starch grits. Their meats are finely roasted, like at any decent bistro, but no better. And everything is really heavy. Truthfully, I would only go back for the drinks and desserts.
