My first experience (about a year ago) at the Red Sea was quite enjoyable...the food was outstanding, the shrimp HUGE and so tasty! So last night I was craving some good tasting shrimp and lentils, my boyfriend, a friend, and I went up to the Red Sea around 7pm on Friday night. The waitress, although friendly, had no idea what was on the menu...they did not have ice tea or diet coke and our water had black stuff floating in the glass. The bathroom was gross, and they were out of soap and papertowls!! We ordered our food (from the very dirty menu's) and then the waitress came back to...

My wife and I ate at this place this evening. The appetizer of lemon shrimp was outstanding! However, the main meal was good and not so good. I had the beef and my wife had the chicken. My dinner, depending on which piece I had, was either tender or tough. My wife's chicken lacked flavor and a bit tasteless. The vegatable sides were good, and the bread was outstanding. Drinks were good. I'd be willing to give this place another chance, but my wife was not happy. Service at 5 pm on a Friday was good, prompt, and timely. Didn't wait too long for much of anything. However, we were the only two...

I had the very worst dining experience here just last night. On a Sunday night, we arrived at 6:30pm, there was 1 other table eating. We waited over an hour for our food - which never arrived due to our impatience - we left. Paid for our drinks, didn't even bother to ask to be comp'd the drinks due to the unbelievable wait time. We had the worst service, a bartender was also serving that didn't know the menu, so any time we had a question about the menu, he would have to step into the kitchen and ask, and when he returned he still seemed unsure of whether or not the information he was...

The Red Sea is a fun place to go for live music, belly dancing and eating with your hands. It is the only place in St. Louis to features regular belly dancing. It serves its dishes in the Ethiopian tradition, without utensils, patrons use injira (flat bread) to rake up the meat and vegetables and mop the juices of the stews. The specialty here is lamb stew, but there are also many vegetarian...
