I have been to The Red Door several times, and absolutely love this place. I feel like I've escaped Utah and the Zion Curtain, if only for a little while. The martini's are the best I have ever had, and not in teeny-tiny glasses like other bars in the area. Even hotel bars, so the price is well worth it to me. Coc**ne Lady (had to edit per the site) is my fave dessert martini, and the Kama Sutra holds a close tie to the Pomegranate martini. I can't wait to take a friend from out of town to see what he thinks. And so far, those I have taken who were unfamiliar, were very impressed. SLC natives, and out of towners.
The only downside is it is small, but that's also a pro. Makes you feel like you just got into a very exclusive place. It can get noisy when the band plays, or if there is a loud group. It's great for a first date, but I would go early if you want to be able to talk.
I've read the other reviews, and I haven't experienced a rude doorman, Chet, Brett, or otherwise. The staff is super friendly, and busy. But I haven't experienced super slow service that would make me take notice. And, I'm NOT an employee! Just a very super satisfied customer, who plans to return.
Pros: Hip, Swanky, Excellent Martini's!
Cons: Small, and sometimes noisy
