I used to think Red Star had a lot going for it. It's in Fells, yet not overly crowded thanks to being at the far end of the main drag. Beautiful dark wood interior, with high ceilings and big comfy booths. "Upscale" bar food. Even a decent live band!

BUT, last few times we've had terrible service. The wait-staff is still nice enough, but lots of waiting led to over an hour-long lunch. We had even stuck to quick-fix sandwiches, and most other tables were only ordering beers.

Most of the food is still good enough to make up for such things (the Thai Chicken wrap especially hit the spot this weekend), but not sure for how long. Note to self: stop thinking this is a good place for a quick bite!
