Red Fez - (617) 338-6060

A local music ensemble that I adore, called Dünya, was playing here. I made a reservation a few weeks in advance and then when I showed up, I was left there standing for about 5 minutes. The maître d'hôtel came and said they had no record of our reservation, he said pointing to a ruled sheet of paper covered with scrawls. I can see they have a sophisticated record-keeping system. They made me stand there like a schmuck pleading for a table. Eventually, I just had to leave, it was so rude. The funny thing is, we had had the exact same problem last year when Dünya played there. They haven't got their act together after a full year. The food here is OK, but way overpriced. As you can see from my other reviews on Yelp, which are mostly 5 stars, I am a very tolerant person. However, to be called a liar, effectively, in front of the other people who were waiting to be seated is unacceptable.

the manager had adttitude all the time he should not be in thsi filed, he wantsus to tips the waitress more that we should and we give 40 % and he wants more for the blonde one, the brazilain boyz and the middle eatern are good worker, but the other no way Place was good and pack once now is so empty and wonder why....... wonder if the owners knows why

Food: below average, burned and tasteless. A good advice: stick to the appetizers if you were to eat anything there. Service: poor, slow and below average. Manager/Owner has no people or PR skills, he does not bother himself to greet or acknowledge his customers. Place: is Great, the room is beautiful, decorated with gorgeous carpets and exotic lamps. The way they have the bar and the dining room separated is great. They have a gorgeous space and it looks like they spent the money on renovating it. Parking: Excellent in the back of the restaurant, it is spacious and free. Entertainment: is the best thing they have beside the space. On Friday, they have Armenian & Turkish band (good musicians a bit stiff). On Saturdays they have a Middle Eastern band (one main singer who manages to pull it off and create a good ambiance - musicians are good). Belly dancers change often, I have seen two lousy ones and only one real good one. Not great for dinning but it is a good place to go to with your friends, order few light appetizers, have a drink, enjoy the music and dance.
