Redbook - Charles Town

The staff was quite unfriendly, and the long drive down a gravel road was a hassle. I eat out multiple times a week, and I wouldn’t recommend this restaurant! Meal type: Dinner. Atmosphere rating: 1.

One of the best meals I've ever had. The location, staff, and food were all exceptional. It was truly a delightful experience for a special occasion. The restaurant is situated inside Holbrook Inn, which is also remarkable. Regarding dietary restrictions, they were very attentive and eager to accommodate. Service was excellent, and we enjoyed a lovely lunch.

Redbook was excellent across the board from service, to food, to wine pairings. Service: Dine in Meal type: Dinner Price per person: $100+ Food: 5 Service: 5 Atmosphere: 5

Beware: The web site for the restaurant and restaurant reservation doesn 't include the word Redbook . Everything is as if the restaurant is named Hillbrook . Even when you book a table, you book a table for Hillbrook not Redbook . I thought that the restaurant must have been renamed, but no the newly printed menu at the restaurant itself says Redbook . Food was great. Table staff was great. I have just two issues: For a regular price restaurant I wouldn 't mention it, but at a gourmet restaurant with gourmet prices, there should not be crumbs on (long) unattended tables; and paint should not be chipped off of the dining room door frames. They changed the Chef 's Sampler menu on me. Anybody getting Chef 's Sampler should study the menu before reserving a table, because that is what you will be getting. So my date and I verified before reserving that we like everything. But then we arrive and 3/4 of the courses were totally different. Their excuse was that they changed chefs. That 's somewhat justifies the change but they have my reservation so they should have notified me what if I was allergic to one of the new items, or my date detests one of the new items? POSTNOTE: It just occurred to me that I checked the online menu in restaurant on my phone after I saw the different menu on paper. They still have people registering with the obsoleted menu. Doesn 't show much respect for their customers when they don 't take the time to update the menu that people are still using Redbook/Hillbrook staff certainly know that it is wrong now. Parking: Not much. Restaurant was mostly vacant and I had to park on the lawn. The long dirt driveway is filled with ruts, so if it 's rainy (like the day I went), your car will have significant mud spattering.
