Ok guys I've found it. The food snob from the Bay has located a French restaurant with incredible food and a comfortable atmosphere in the greater Sacramento area. Gems like this are few and far between up here. The location is quaint, modern, and comfortable in downtown Loomis. The ceilings are high, brick decorates the walls, and natural wood beams accentuate the height and structure. Lighting is modern and cozy, creating an intimate vibe. The staff is fantastic. Everyone is friendly and just relaxed enough to not create anxiety but not so relaxed that they would miss even a single detail. We were seated quickly at a corner table and the team helping us was prompt, courteous, and thorough in covering the specials, wine selection, and favorite entrees from the menu. Ok, onto the important stuff (at least to me). Food and wine. The wine selection emphasized quality over quantity. It listed familiar vineyards, and, some not so familiar including local wineries. We selected a Cabernet-Merlot blend from a Loomis vineyard called "Small A$$ Vineyard" (aptly named after their two donkeys) and it was fantastic. While the selection was not long nor short, it didn't lack in character in terms of offering or breadth. The food. We have lived in the area for three years and I can say, with confidence, that Chef Daniel has prepared, without any doubt or hesitation, the best meal we have had in the greater Sacramento area. We were provided an amuse-bouche with salmon, duck paté, and warm delicious bread. That was followed by two appetizers - the citrus-beet salad and a half dozen oysters, three Kumamoto and three from somewhere I wish I could remember from the East coast. For the main course, we enjoyed the chef's special - duck confit (with lentils and a spectacular kumquat marmalade) and I had to splurge and get the filet. The duck was expertly prepared, as was the filet, and the filet was lightly seasoned to perfection. The filet had sides of chard and potatoes making it not only delicious but also filling. We ended the meal with their crème brûlée. I am not sure how they do it, but the top was perfect to caramelized and the crème itself remained silky soft and cool. It was topped with mint, citrus, and raspberry. Absolutely divine. I'm not a fan of writing glowing reviews and would prefer to have some constructive criticism to keep it balanced. But here, I don't have any criticism, only compliments. A+ all around. We will absolutely be back. read more

Amazing. Joe is a fantastic server. The ambiance is beautiful and the steaks are 10/10. The entire staff is so caring. They assisted us with our coats. We even got a chance to meet the owner! You will love it here. The truffle fries are a dream! Order some and then order more! read more

I use to really enjoy Red's. I went recently for my wife's birthday dinner. We were greeted by a less than welcoming guy at the podium. It was 7p on a Tuesday and there was maybe 10 people total in the place. Plenty of open seating. The manager didn't want to seat us in a booth because it wasn't past 8p. He didn't really have much customer service skills at all. I thought he was joking at first because he told me in with such a flat face. Then came the server who seemed somewhat bothered to be doing her job. We heard a couple next to us comment that just because the server may have had a bad day she didn't need to be that way. The food quality also wasn't what it has been in the past. The owner maybe needs to be there more to ensure these people practice better customer service that's welcoming and it feels like they enjoy their jobs. There are plenty of options, so I won't be going back, and it's a shame because I like the physical atmosphere, but the bad vibes negate that now. read more

My lady and I recently took a friend to Red's Bistro. This was the first time we had been there. Our plan was a few hors d'oeuvres and wine. The food was so good, we just kept ordering other dishes to try. The atmosphere is casual classy, and the service was fantastic. We were well taken care of throughout our stay. Frank Family Cabernet Sauvignon was my drink of choice. Our meals consisted of Pan Seared Scallops, Oysters on The Half Shell, Grilled Turnips, Pomme Frites (with truffle oil), a Charcuterie & Cheese Board, Mac & Cheese and House Sourdough. For dessert we enjoyed Vanilla Crème Brûlée. Prices were reasonable for the quality of food served. We also saved a few dollars by arriving during happy hour, read more

We have been regulars here for years. Red's was a place that we knew we could find consistent and reliable service, wholesome and familiar dishes, and a normal menu. The interior is inviting, though drafty depending on your seat. Gwen and Joe kept us returning as well. We were treated as normal restaurant patrons - meaning nothing special, nothing sub-par, but we had also frequented so much that we treated like family. We've brought several people here when they were visiting from out of town and they all loved it too. We actually specifically requested Gwen in our reservation, who was unfortunately off for a personal thing that night. It would have been nice if they could have let us know since they can see those notes on reservations. There was a different person tending to the host stand as well, usually a lovely lady is there but on Saturday stood Russ and ... someone. And it was cold the moment we arrived. We haven't been able to come in much this past year and BOY has it changed. After a little digging we found that Red's got a new chef this past October. After more digging we found that is the FOURTH chef in a year. The last time we were there we heard about a new chef too so now we're talking about 6 chefs in 3 years. That speaks volumes in the restaurant industry about restaurant management. And it's clearly spoken to your customers as you can see in reviews from the last year. What I can also see is that you don't care. You haven't responded to any of the reviews. Russ and Karen, I think you need to take a look around because you're losing good, loyal customers. And over some real quality problems. You overhauled your menu, which is expected a bit when a new chef comes in, they put their twist on things. But you decided to no longer offer a dozen oysters for $36, and instead sell these new-age oysters for $5 a pop, on a bed of rocks. Now I will say this... yuzu jalapeño oyster thing wasn't awful. But if we wanted flashy, hip oysters we'll go downtown or to a gentrified area. Not the heart of Loomis, where people are attracted to the good old ways. You just shot your consumer price up almost 100% for the same amount of oysters filled with things that we don't want. Your sourdough is not a sourdough any longer. You use a lot of wheat flour and what we got was extremely over proofed. It was dense and gummy. Now I'm not an oyster expert but I do bake a lot of sourdough and I can tell you that especially compared to what you used to have, this was absolutely dismal. Moving on to the beet salad with goat cheese, or shall I call it, the double goat cheese salad with some beets and shaved apples - I wish I took a picture of this before we tried it. The focus was clearly on presentation alone. The beets were diced small, there were diced chunks of hard cheese in it, and it was absolutely smothered in some sort of goat cheese sauce. Moving on to the entrees that we received 45 minutes late, as the server said the kitchen was very backed up. The special was the swordfish, it was okay. Nothing special but at least more flavorful than my scallops. I wish I read the reviews prior to ordering it and can confirm the reviews are 100% on point. The 3 scallops are small and overcompensated by the hefty amount of Mac-and-cheese like risotto. So thick. So much butter. Risotto should be buttery and creamy yes but this very much akin to a Mac and cheese. And, besides the flavor of butter there was zero flavor. The scallops were over salted, so at least that sort of made up for it for lack of flavor and seasoning in the risotto. The menu also listed micro greens with this, as if to signify there might be a side of greens - no, it was 3 tiny pieces of garnish. The inconsistency in the menu design with how garnishes or sides are listed is misleading. All in all a very disappointing $200 meal (2 glasses of wine as well). Reading the reviews last night was disheartening. At this point, if we do return, it will solely be because we love Gwen, Joe and Steven. And the wine. Your wine at least has yet to disappoint. read more

Four of us dined for the first time at Reds Bistro on 3/19/22. We ordered oysters, sourdough bread, steak and salmon. The oysters were good. The sourdough bread and butter was delicious. The steak okay. And the salmon was very good although the portion was incredibly small. The portion size of the fish was about a 2 inch square. And it was paired with asparagus, radish, fennel, etc. They could include potatoes or rice with the entree. I left hungry after spending $36 on a salmon entree. Overall rating: Quality 4 Portion Size 2 Service 4 Overall the food was good. Please increase the portions on the entree. read more

Came here a few months ago for a celebration and I forgot to leave a review. Absolutely loved this place! The staff were very friendly and incredibly efficient. The food is probably the best part- Much better than most of the restaurants in the greater Sacramento area, and the prices are very fair. The menu was seasonal, which is a huge plus. If you're looking for a beautiful place to sit, this place has lovely ambience as well. Additionally, everything was clean! read more

Dont go. Its never fun to go for dinner and then be told the kitchen is closed. Had a table the size of a chess board, all our apps came in 5 minutes- the soup was room temp. Then we got told to order dinner asap. No more room on our table so we had to leave. The servers were enjoying their wine so I'm guessing it was tasty. read more

Our waiter Steven was absolutely great. He was spot on with his recommendations. The food and environment definitely made for a terrific date night. 5/5, highly recommend, you won't be disappointed. . read more

We had a great time here, the food was wonderful and so was the local artisan wine Cabernet & Merlot from Small Ass Vineyard. It's also a nice cozy atmosphere and the waiter deserves a 6/5 Star review. Loved him. We had a gift card so that blunted the price. It is pretty darn pricey, but wonderful and cozy. Worth the drive. They should get rid of the Foie Gras though, it's inhumane. read more

I love Reds! I wish that they were open for lunch. It's such a beautiful and relaxing restaurant. And, the food is fantastic!

Fantastic spot! Great for a nice meal date night, their menu changes constantly and there's a new item every 4 weeks or so. Great open space vibe with table, booth and high top group tables. Awesome for group, and the food is phenomenal. Beer and wine only but sounds like that's changing in the future with an expansion. Awesome spot and a must visit in Loomis. Little French and American bistro flare, we'll be regulars. I've already come twice in 2 months, can't wait to go back! Flourless chocolate cake was amazing! Halibut and coconut curry wild rice, rack of lamb was phenomenal, muscles fantastic to order with a sourdough bread appetizer,crème brûlée was pretty good too and the service is fantastic! read more

Been to Reds a few times over the years and it was phenomenal from start to finish. The service and the food were incredible.

Nice place for ambiance and good service, but food left something to be desired. To be fair, this was a couple months ago and I mostly forgot what we ate. What I do remember was ordering the baked brie - twice! First time it was cold, near frozen on the inside. We sent it back and next order was a little better but again cold on the inside. And one of the spotlights above our table was very bright so we asked them to dim it a little, which they did, but another server turned it back up a few minutes later and seemed annoyed that we had it dimmed so we didn't ask again. Not sure what was going on that night but based on our experience we probably would not go back. Others seemed to enjoy their meal that evening so may have just been us. read more

The food and service was amazing! Had a dozen oysters during happy hour paired with a cremant rosé....it was perfect! Also ordered the salad with the quinoa on the side, it was incredible, will definitely order again! The Salmon entree blew me away, wished I had taken a picture!! Going to be be visiting here for happy hour/dinner more regularly for sure!!! read more

This little restaurant is phenomenal. From the freshness of the ingredients to the service and ambiance, everything is outstanding. Brought my family here to celebrate my anniversary as well as my daughter's birthday. My daughter and I both ordered the sea bass special. It was a generous cut of fish and the Indian masala seasoning went very well with it. My wife ordered the shrimp pasta and she loved that as well. Presentation on the plate was beautiful. The server was very attentive and checked in on us frequently. We had the crème brulee which was great as well for dessert. I hope this place continues to be successful and expand its space. read more

Literally the best meal that we've had since the pandemic began! Abby (our server) was so personable and did an AMAZING job of recommending wine, dishes, and dessert to us. We kicked off the night with beverages (a unique wine listing) and beet deviled eggs for our appetizer. We then move on to our entrees of chicken breast with sweet potato mash and the vegetables Gnocchi (an amazing vegetarian option). Both were delicious, flavorful and had a variety of textures. Spot on! We finished our meal with a beautiful, smooth, and flavorful creme brûlée. Truly a meal (and service) to remember! We will be back! read more

I wanted to love this place. It's very cute. The servers are so nice. But the menu just doesn't have enough to offer, and our entrees were just okay. What drops them down to 3 stars is that we waited more than an hour for our food after ordering. We were only a party of 5, but it was a Saturday night. Still, the place is small and should have been able to accommodate us without that kind of wait. Also, the croutons on my caesar were so tough that I lost a filling by trying to eat just one of them - no joke. I had to spit it out, it couldn't be chewed. We tried the sourdough appetizer at the recommendation of our server and found it didn't live up to the hype. The prices were good though, and we enjoyed the ambiance while we waited for our food. read more

A good ambiance. Comfortable seating. The service was ok. We had to wave down the waiter a few times and the food took an extremely long time to come out. However, the food was delicious. Some of the best oysters I've had. The charcuterie board was yummy. Our dessert came out wrong because it wasn't what we ordered however, it was still good! I look forward to coming back for their oyster happy hour. read more

I was attempting to come for another visit, so I called to inquire about meat choices of the day. A man answered the phone. No lamb was available. I asked what steak is available and I was told to go check their menu on web site. Thank you. It's unlikely I'll bring you business with that attitude. read more

Incredible food and even better service! Our server Joe was so funny and kind. Everything we ordered was off the charts good. You can taste the freshness in each bite.

We will be back and can't wait for the changing specials. God bless you all and your business... and that sourdough ;) read more

My partner and I came to Red's Bistro with big appetites and even bigger expectations. Not only were our bellies filled by the tremendous Chef Red, but even our expectations were exceeded by the tantalizing cuisine provided to us by the Bistro. My partner and I started with a nice Pilsner and shared deviled eggs and steak tartare. The deviled eggs were absolutely perfect and the tartare was an exquisite meat experience in my mouth. After the apps and beers, we opted for a bottle of an aglianico, my favorite kind of red (maybe my second favorite Red after tonight ). My partner ordered a medium rare ribeye (amazing) and I had the pork schnitzel sandwich (also amazing). Red provided us with a homemade curry ketchup for the fries, and as immaculate as everything else was, this might have been our favorite part of an amazing meal. After a second bottle of aglianico, we decided to go for an order of the oysters. Nothing like incredible aphrodisiacs to cap off a great date night! But we couldn't stop there. Chef Red informed us of the espresso chocolate cake, and I was already feeling a bit naughty, so of course my partner and I had to share a slice. Abby, who greeted us, was a delight, and our server Gwen was amazing. It was a very busy night, and our service was still excellent. We can't wait to return to see what Chef Red has in store for our mouths! read more

Came here on a Saturday at 6:30pm. We were told the wait would be about 30 minutes. We made our way to the bar and decided to dine at the bar. The food and drinks were amazing. We ordered the filet medium rare which was prefect! Very hard to find a restaurant that can get that right. The filet did have a sauce and caramelized onions. I personally prefer my filet plain. Surprisingly, topping for the filet was still good. They have a very limited menu. I loved the ambience and decor of this place. Very well done. Looking forward to coming back here! read more

Went for dinner last week. Overall good experience. Here's my review: we ordered scallops and French onion soup for starters, which both were excellent. For a main me shared a steak which was perfectly cooked. For fine dining in the French bistro genre, I would have expected a few options for the steak, including bernaise or herb butter. Also, the fries were kind of soggy. Not like the steak frittes you would hope for. And they were just serve with ketchup, no aioli or even mayo. Although to be fair, they didn't advertise it as steak frittes, but that is standard bistro faire so I did have that in mind. And aioli is so easy! And mayo even easier! And both standard French bistro faire. The asparagus was overcooked. Our server was very friendly, but didn't know the menu super well. At the end of the meal we were not offered deserts. We didn't want them, but just missed the mark for standard fine dining to offer. I love options for local fine dining, so I intend this as taken for constructive criticism. read more

oof. ok for starters, i'm basing my review off a holiday (valentine's day), so maybe it was just an off night? we arrived earlier than our reservation time, so we grabbed a few drinks at the bar. stephen was our bartender, and he was just the highlight of our evening -- so much fun, great service, and even though i am NOT a beer fan, he got me to try the blood orange hefeweizen they have on draft.. YUM. the hostess (who was so sweet), told us that they could seat us early. we got seated at our table and after hearing stephen's recommendations and confirming what we were going to order, we knew it was go time.. filet mignon baby! *insert drooling emoji*. our server, abby, was serving many other tables, so when she got to us, she was apologizing for the wait. which we expected, it was valentine's day afterall! no biggie. then she slapped us with the, "i do have to tell you we're all out of steak options". womp womp. we ordered the sourdough with whipped butter to start, as we needed more time to find new selections. i think the chefs forgot to fire it, because we waited about 22 mins for it, and right as it was brought to our table, our entrees followed. our table was tiny so three big plates felt crowded (& rushed)? the salmon was delicious and the pasta had great flavor though! we decided to try their dessert which was an excellent choice. that peanut butter crumble is what dessert dreams are made of. overall, despite them being slammed, everyone was so friendly, and abby did a great job as our server. i was back on forth on whether to give a higher rating, but we were honestly so bummed that they were out of the filet.. which is an item on their regular menu. i understand that you can't account for everyone's selections ahead of time, but we both were so excited to have a nice steak dinner :( parking is a little slim around the restaurant, but there's a huge lot nearby. not sure if we'll make it back as we live about 45mins away, but it might be a better experience on a regular day! read more

Food was fair at best.. maybe 2.5 stars. Don't bring in your own wine unless you want to pay $25.00 per bottle for corkage fee that they failed to mention.. When the restaurant was The Horseshoe bar and grill the food was much better.. kind of a disappointment with the dinner we had last night. No need to go back for dinner...better restaurants around ROCKLIN/Roseville read more

Only negative thing...is that it's busy all the time and seating is no more than a broom closet.
