Reddstone

Now that Reddstone has fully implemented the new menu they presented to food bloggers in their tasting dinner, we decided to pay them another visit. We also had a restaurant.com coupon for $25 off a dinner of $35 or more. We were also encouraged by their vastly improved website.

The next course was BBQ’d Duck Confit Sliders. We all loved … continue reading
