Slooooooooowwwww. Bar and kitchen. For the exorbitant price you would expect better turn around on drinks and food. Sitting in room with about 10 other tables ... Not one morsel of food delivered to any table in over 15 minutes. Overrated.

Has Potential, Needs Work

Jan 2024 • couples

I had read about Red Horse, had reviewed the menu and was looking forward to checking it out. Overall the experience was pretty good. The service was poor - it took way too long to get a round of drinks and order, despite the restaurant being about half capacity. The ambiance could be better - I got a bit more "hotel restaurant" vibe than I expected. It's quite a large dining room and could do with more decoration to liven it up. Back to the service - the waiter neglected to give us the special restaurant week menu, which we had to ask for, and actually was a good value. On to the good stuff - the food was quite good. Everyone loved the bison short ribs. My wife's filet mignon was delicious, if slightly over-cooked. The Brussels sprouts were excellent, but the "angry" broccoli was not very angry at all, and could have used more spice. Not sure I'd go again - there are a lot of better options between White Plains, Port Chester and Greenwich.

We loved this place!

Nov 2023 • friends

Beautiful place love the decor easy parking in really close garage if you can’t find a spot on the street. We came for lunch. The drinks were amazing. I had a skinny margarita my fried had specialty cocktail. Most places don’t get the skinny margarita, right…this place did. Loved the cornbread and popover nice presentation. I had the Burrata salad for lunch. It was excellent my friend had the bison short rib sandwich. Our waitress suggested the chocolate mousse cake for dessert again great presentation, and really good. It was a lovely lunch and I would not hesitate to go back. It starts with quality ingredients that why everything taste so delicious. The staff really makes this place over the top, especially our waitress Margarite she was ver attentive and we had lots of laughs with her. Don’t hesitate you need try Red Horse!

Never again

This restaurant should close immediately. $75 dover sole was way overdone and tasted like a mrs Paul fish stick. Pop overs and broccoli never came. What a mess this place is.

Wonderful White Plains Restaurant

Nov 2023 • family

I really enjoy the ambiance and food here. It is kid friendly but quiet enough for an intimate date night. The staff is wonderful and they make you feel special. Most importantly though, the food is amazing. Almost every dish whether it is the steak, salmon, tartar or soup is made deliciously. I would try this place even if it is just for cocktails with friends.

Looking Forward to Eating Here and Were Really Let Down

Oct 2023 • couples

Yesterday (a Friday evening) we had a truly disappointing meal at a very expensive restaurant by an American food icon. Started out great with tiny mustard flavored straws in little bottle with some virgin extra olive oil. Great. Then some very over priced oysters, but so far so good. Then things went from bad to worse. We picked an appetizer of scrambled eggs with caviar (for some reason served in an ostrich egg shell). It arrived with an enormous amount of egg with some tiny flecks of caviar barely visible. The eggs were worse than those you get at a breakfast buffet. Dense without the faintest taste of caviar. There might have also been a promise of truffle, also absent. It was a special so you won't find it on the online menu. Then VERY expensive Dover Sole. We were told that it would not be a table side preparation, which should have been a clue. It came with a fishbone (it looked fried) that was supposed to be reassuring. It could NOT have been true Dover Sole, which must be portioned and trimmed at the table, and was outrageously over cooked and came with an utterly tasteless sauce. Wonderful service, nice room, don't go there. The one in Jersey is probably as bad. Oh, the brussels sprouts were ok.

An underwhelming experience from start to finish both from the kitchen and the wait staff. Miss this one!

Sep 2023 • couples

From start to finish this was a poor experience. First had to flag down the hostess to get a waiter to pay attention to us. The costly bread service had pop overs that were over baked, dried out, and hard. When it came to the service the waiters had no idea which dish went to which of six diners. Unacceptable at an expensive high end restaurant. In the main courses, one steak which was supposed to be split between two diners was not and had to go back to the kitchen getting cold…and was tough. Another diner had the shrimp and octopus main course which came out cold, was sent back to the kitchen and was then served over cooked and tough. They did however acknowledge that problem by taking the cost of that main course of the bill. All of this while the celebrity chef was socializing with friends in the dining room or with a young lady at the hotel desk instead of paying attention to the problems in the restaurant. Overall an underwhelming experience at an expensive restaurant.

Second disappointing dinner.

Jul 2023 • friends

Three of us had dinner soon after the restaurant opened. It was clearly not ready for prime time. We returned in July. Dinner was just as disappointing, we won’t be back. The clothesline bacon is an enjoyable treat when shared three ways. But then the entrées arrived. My steak ordered medium rare came out lukewarm and medium well. When a steak house can’t get steaks right you know it’s a failure. The two pork chop dinners were okay. They were served Portuguese style with clams. Too bad they were somewhere drowning in sauce. The vegetable and potatoes sides were also lukewarm. And then we made the mistake of ordering dessert. The waffle and gelato sounded interesting. Took forever to be served, and when they arrived the waffle was cold the gelato half melted. There is nothing unique or showy or even very good about Red Horse. Does not live up to the hype.

Red Horse of Hell

Aug 2023 • family

It's difficult to adequately express how disappointing our experience at this restaurant was, and I find myself wishing for a refund. I'm truly baffled by how this establishment managed to earn the title of "best of Westchester," as my impression is that it's actually the opposite – the worst in Westchester. From the moment we arrived, the service was painfully slow. Even simple tasks like receiving drinks and water took an agonizingly long 20-30 minutes. At one point, I had to resort to sipping my guest's water to prevent choking on the dry food. The drinks, while reasonably priced, arrived late and were diluted due to the melted ice, despite the restaurant not being busy. Although we intended to order three bottles of white wine, all were unavailable, leaving us with only one option. Our server didn't offer to let us taste it before pouring, nor did they bother chilling it properly, giving us an ice bucket filled with completely melted ice water. Our attempt to start with the "for the table" pre-appetizers ended in frustration. Not only did they take half an hour to arrive, but they were also mistakenly delivered to the wrong table. Our server didn't check on us, even when the pre-appetizers were nowhere to be seen, and we ended up receiving only our regular appetizers. When I pointed out that another table had received our pre-appetizers, our server acknowledged the mistake but had no intention of rectifying it. A manager eventually brought a replacement batch after we had finished our appetizers, only to exhibit annoyance when we declined them, repeatedly making passive-aggressive comments about the situation. They even managed to forget half of our appetizer order and only remembered after a reminder. The quality of the seafood was abysmal, tasting as though it had been left out for a week and possessing an unusual aftertaste. The steak, ordered medium, arrived medium-well with no hint of pink or red in the center. The fries were both cold and soggy, and even the supposedly famous lobster – a point of pride for the restaurant – resembled the taste of dirty socks and was exceptionally dry. The fried rice was undoubtedly reheated in a microwave or prepared using instant methods, resulting in a lackluster, soggy, and flavorless dish. The disappointment was so profound that we skipped dessert out of fear for what that experience might entail. I implore you not to squander your hard-earned money at this establishment; the overall quality is genuinely subpar.

Poor experience

Jun 2023 • family

Service was horrible. We waited 15 mins and no sever came to attend our table or even give us water. I went to the attendants desk and informed them we weren’t being serviced so afterwards our waitress arrived and apologized. We ordered our meals and still waited to get water. The bread basket which was an appetizer took forever to arrive. Food arrived and both my husband and eye ordered steaks (filet and rib eye) however no steak utensils were provided to us or set before the meal. By this time, I was still waiting to order wine but the waitress never came by again. We saw her going to many of her other tables but she barely looked our way. Considering this is an upscale restaurant by David Burke, we expected to be wowed by the steak but that disappointed as well. Once we were done with our meal, we waited again to get some take-home boxes but ended up having to ask another waitress. She was very attentive and brought the boxes to us quickly despite having numerous tables of her own. We then ended up ordering dessert for the kids - a cotton candy and cake pop duo. 30 mins later we were still waiting for the dessert. We finally got the attention of our waitress and asked her on status. She told us that the cotton candy is hand made and it takes some time to make the presentation. This was absurd to us as it’s just cotton candy spun on paper put into a fancy serving tray. A few mins after, our dessert arrived. The kids enjoyed and after a long 3 hour experience we were finally able to leave. Side note: the comment card provided with the bill stated to speak to a manager if there was any dissatisfaction. As such, I spoke to a manager who listened to me and barely said any words. She looks disinterested and said she is sorry and thanked me for sharing my feedback. She also said she would share with the general manager but to be honest, I don’t think she cared nor will she share the feedback. It’s a shame that the service level is so poor for an fine establishment attached to a famous chef. We will not be going back nor will we ever recommend to anyone. There are definitely better places to spend a few hundred dollars on dinner.
