The Red Sea Nightclub, Bar, and Restaurant
Twin Cities, Minnesota

I've been there twice over the past couple years, and my conclusion is that it's ok but not great. I prefer Kilimanjaro next door, which I think has better tasting food.

Both the Red Sea and Kilimanjaro suffer from the giant TV, but I guess that's typical of a place that's also a bar.

Red Sea offered solid, simple Ethiopian food. I enjoyed my split pea with injera dish; it was delicately spiced and tasted fresh. The portion size was large (and included two small sides of red lentils and spinach---for free, apparently) and nicely priced at $8.99.

I wasn't impressed with the ambience of the place, though. If it weren't for the kindred spirits with whom I was eating, I would have found it difficult to have stayed in there for too long. For one thing, there's sickly, dark lighting with some stray bits of neon near the counter/bar. The speakers played random music and the big screen tv's glare was hard to avoid. This isn't a good place to take a date or to enjoy a pleasant dinner. I'm not sure I'd want to be there for alcoholic drinks, either. Just too bleak.
