Great Drinks - Fair Food

by Squid42

I wish I could do two reviews on Red Square. The first review being on the food, and the second review on the drinks (bar). My wife and I have been to Red Square a couple times, and the bar has some of the best drinks around with the bartenders also being very good. The food on the other hand is not very good. I really was disappointed and have had far better meals elsewhere. I ordered Chicken Kiev, and it was very dry and not too flavorful. Our server was very good though and that helped salvage a not so good tasting meal. I would give the food a 2 star rating and the drinks a five star rating. Overall 3 stars.

• Pros: Great drinks
• Cons: Fair food

Russian? Are you sure?

by mika68

OK...let's have this straight - there is nothing Russian about this restaurant besides beheaded Lenin's sculpture at the entrance, Chicken Kiev and vodka. Service was fine, it is just a wrong concept.

Anyway, for anyone considering to open a Russian restaurant in Vegas - go for it, there is NO competition!

• Pros: Attentive service
• Cons: Don't call it Russian, food is lackluster

Just a very cool bar.......

by karlsegura

If you don't have patience to wait in line at the bar don't go, but this place may be my favorite Vegas bar. It's not very big which contributes to the waiting in line but its well worth a few minutes of your time. Great selection of Vodkas and just a cool place to check out. I have dined at the restaurant several times and I also recommend trying it.

• Pros: Unique, great vodka selection
• Cons: Small, difficult to get a drink

Butthole Waiter - dark hair, goatee, and glasses

by ummm_sweets

I sat at the table waiting for a server for 20 minutes. (Actually we watch the server walk around ignoring us for 20 minutes). I had to ask him twice to come take our drink order. After bringing us our drinks, we never saw him again. So after another 20 minutes, I chased him down for the bill. I asked him for the bill three times. (This is not him coming to my table. This is me running around the restaurant trying to find him so I can pay my bill.) So he brought the bill. I paid in cash and walked out with my girlfriend. He chased out after us accusing us of not paying!!!!! I asked him if he had check the table if I had paid and that I will go back to the restaurant and check with him. He then said (ironically) ?It?s okay, I TRUST you.? He is a dark haired man with a goatee and glasses. If he comes to your table as your server, get up and walk out.

• Pros: Bartenders were nice. Provided more service than the waiter.
• Cons: worst service on the strip!

amazing food

by paranoidpyro

i've been here multiple times and it's a pleasure to dine here. The staff is very friendly and helpful. the food was prepared amazingly. Foie gras is wonderful. the steak was done to my liking. the lamb is great too. The caviar is awesome. The decor is fun and trendy and also a great thing to stare off at. I can't wait to go again.

• Pros: food service ambience

Slightly depressing ambience and food was okay

by lvp

I had heard a lot about Red Square, mainly about the vodka locker, but was frankly kind of disappointed with the dinner I had there. Food was okay, ambience was slightly depressing because the furnishings looked kind of shabby and run-down. Just go for drinks. The martinis are quite good, but very strong.

Best Martini in Town at the Coolest bar

by delany13

It's ceratinly easy to see why The Red Square at Mandalay Bay has the coolest bar, it's made completly of ice. That said, the service is great, and the drinks are wonderful. The only problem I have with this place is that the bar area is too small for the number of patrons waiting outside the door for the doors to open. Another plus though is the strong drinks! The husband and I shared one lest we go over our limit for martini's! I would recommend that every martini lover stop here at least once while in vegas.

• Pros: Great Ice Bar- a must see. Great drinks!
• Cons: Small bar area. Doesn't open until 5- in Vegas???

Have a Martini or White Russian the way it is supposed to be!

by vegasj

Ice laden bar helps keep the martini of a lifetime cool but, you won't need it. The drinks will go fast because they are so well made. The white russian comes with a red square and a large man sized glass. The martinis speak for themselves. Great for out of town visitors and locals.

The vodka locker at this Russian-themed restaurant and lounge overwhelms even the most practiced cocktailer.

by Ryan Slattery

In Short
Outside the door of Red Square stands a decapitated statue of Lenin. The head only lasted a month before complaints by retired servicemen convinced Mandalay Bay to chop it off the replica of the Soviet Communist leader. Inside, however, everything Russian reigns. The red decor will match the blood rushing to your head after knocking back a Stoli. With more than 100 varieties of vodka, this is the center of the Vegas martini world.
