Wow! This place is so cute. They have a separate bar area from the actual dining room. We are not in the restaurant, we are dining in the bar area. Small intimate 8 tables. Love the live music. Small bar, but Kevin is amazing! Come check it out in Mission Hills.

Cute place with multi room seating -the bar area, outside covered, and the main restaurant. Bar area hosts live music with mood lighting, both low and high tables with a few 1/2 booth 1/2 chair tables,

The Red Door is one of San Diego’s best! The service is always superior and it is one of the few restaurants where the chef takes the time to personally greet his guests, every night, with genuine gratitude and appreciation. Dinner tonight was the Orecchiette. Perfectly al dente, little ears of freshly made pasta with well seasoned sausage, rich dark mushrooms, lightly seasoned with pearl onions. All of this was tied together with a decadent brandy cream. It is an uncomplicated, simple dish that is simply exceptional.

What a find! Chef Cibelli came out of the kitchen and met us personally checking in on how our meal was. Food was AMAZING! We had 5 dishes and we only managed to get a picture of one because we couldn’t wait to dive in. We found this gem on our last night in San Diego. Wish we would have found it earlier as we would have visited every day of our trip.

Where do I start? We loved our waiter, the appetizer, entrees and desserts. Beets, Beef Wellington, Lamb Shank, lava cake and banana cream pie. Enjoyed every bite. The portions we perfect and generous. We really appreciated the fact that the chef / owner took the time to come check in on his guest throughout our meal. We’ll definitely be back soon.
