    Brunch on Valentine's Day sounded like a good idea to me. So we followed the Wabash river downstream to New Harmony and the Red Geranium. Remarkable that such a nice place can be found in such a small town. Dining area is simple, low key, lovely. Menu is more breakfast/lunch than a blend of brunch options. But what they got is pretty good. Wife had the steak and eggs. Steak was first rate. I had the tortellini, also fantastic. Service was excellent. All smiles and hospitality from our well dressed, friendly server. Shortcomings? Asparagus with the steak and eggs was shriveled and limp. As the only vegetable on the plate, it's flaccidity was pronounced. Maybe a more generous serving of fruit on the plate? My shrimp cost me an extra $10. Kinda steep for four of these guys. But they were so good, I almost didn't mind. No, wait! $10!! A final thing that is peaking as my greatest peeve: cold butter. Can't spread it on bread. So that's a lot of criticism. I really liked the Red Geranium. No hesitation recommending for a nice meal. Reasonable price and attention to detail that just isn't going to be found outside of metro area establishments charging much, much more. One regret, just not enough room for dessert.

    As beautiful as this place was, our breakfast was terrible. The waffle tasted as though it had been made with sour mix and the eggs were burnt, but served cold. The is probably because we were the only people to order while we were there and it still took 30 minutes to get our eggs served. Our coffee was served with apologies for it being cold, but no offer to get it warmed up. After paying the bill, we left to find breakfast.

    Ate here with friends yesterday, hadn't been here in years. Wow, it is still as good as ever. We had small salads and the lettuce/greens were SO nice and fresh (I grow my own and I know good lettuce when I see it!) House dressing was excellent as well. We all had various sandwiches and they were ALL excellent. I had the portobello mushroom and it was one of the best I've ever had. Service was excellent as well, even though they were fairly busy. We all kept remarking to each other how good everything was. I can see I have been missing some good meals, we'll be back!!!

    This is going to be a tough review. Let's say the food was 4 stars, but the service was only 2. And I feel a little bad saying that because it was really just our server. I'll get the bad out of the way...we were seated for over 30 minutes before our drink order was taken, and then it was the hostess who had to take care of us. Our server would come and apologize but it never sounded really sincere or heartfelt. A couple who was seated well after us got their food before us. But they had a different server. That being said all the other staff I saw was working their butts off. Big props to the bus boy who kept our water filled and made sure our table was clean. He obviously took pride in his work and my wife actually took him aside and tipped him. The hostess was doing her best too. She actually stood in as server for another table and took our drink orders. Now for the good. The menu is terrifically prepared and the prices reasonable for what you're getting. My wife had a prime rib which was absolutely perfect and I had a rack of lamb that melted in my mouth. The décor is quaint and fits in with the whole New Harmony vibe. It's a testament to how good the food was that the service didn't totally ruin the evening.

    My wife & I got a package from the Inn that included dinner at the Red Geranium. She wasn't feeling well, so I called to ask if I could get it to go. They were happy to accommodate. We were so grateful. The bean soup & French onion were very good for a cold night.

    Been here a few times. Never disappointed. The most memorable was when my parents came down during Thanksgiving and we had our dinner out. The butternut squash and turkey bisque was ridiculously tasty, thick and rich, and flavor packed. I still dream of it. If you are in the area, drive over and take the tour. Follow that up with a delightful meal here.

    This is my third or fourth time here, the town is cute, numerous little shops to see. The decor as you enter leaves a bit to be desired but once inside it is nice quiant little restaurant. Our waiter was Casey and he was excellent. We were there for lunch, had the curried chicken salad and it was very good. Prices are reasonable. If you are in the area the town is worth seeing and this place serves up some good food, service has alway been excellent.

    I was visiting my sister's family in mt. carmel, IL and went to new harmony to visit and had lunch at this place. she had her wedding reception here like gzillion years ago. but the food was really good. I had Tillapia with rice and veggies. their mimosa had too much pulp, but overall experience was good. very humid weather. so, not sure I'll be returning to new harmony anytime soon. ha ha

    Great food in a wonderful historic town. Patio seating in the summer months with live music make this restaurant a must for a weekend get away. The employees at the Red Geranium and the New Harmony Inn are very professional and accommodating.

    I will precursor my review by saying this is very tough. I wanted to LOVE this place but I just ended up liking it. Given all the 4 and 5 star reviews I feel bad but that is what review sites like this one are for. I will start by saying it's beautiful. We were seated toward the end of the maze in a lovely room with a fireplace which was perfect for me and my BF celebrating our anniversary. I will also say that my star count went up to a 5 when I realized they had my all-time favorite/hard-to-get in Indiana beer, Dogfish Namaste on their beer list!!!! WHOA! Their wine list is extensive which is also nice. I would also like to compliment our server who was very attentive and lovely. But that's where my 5 stars stop. I was so completely disappointed with my meal. I ordered the tri-color tortellini pasta and hate to say it, but I could have purchased frozen at Costco and done better. My pasta was overcooked and stuck together in one lump in my bowl and the sauce that accompanied it tasted like seasoned tomato paste with similar consistency. I think I took about 4 bites and that was it. It was really tough to choke out $19 for that dish. I would like to think that maybe we came a bit late and the food was sitting for a while prior to plating but honestly there's no excuse to serving a meal that expensive like that. It was just downright disappointing. I would certainly give it another try but my first go was a tough one. Please don't let this review stop you from trying RG. According to their reviews many others have had a wonderful experience.

    Had reservations for a large special event. First course took over 30 mins. Waitress finally told us chef had been fired 3 days ago for failing drug test. Why didn't the management call to let us know there was no chef beforehand. Our dinner arrived an hour and forty-five minutes after being seated. Food had poor presentation, a few steaks tough, seafood cold. For $30-$35 a plate it was a very depressing meal. The general manager Pete would not even speak with us to apologize; he did not bother to come down from the convention center. No chef and the GM isn't even in the building?? It is only a matter of weeks before this beautiful places closes down.

    Service was extremely poor and slow. Ran out of many dishes before 7pm on Saturday night. Food ok. For the price the sides were small and bland. Not very crowded and waitress was very expressive about how overloaded she was with two tables. Not worth the gas money if you are not local.

    Really had high hopes going in for Saturday brunch. The service was slow, inattentive, and forgetful. 40 minutes had passed by the time my Harmonist omelet arrived, somewhat warm and missing the scallions. Omelet was bland, potatoes appeared to be of the frozen prepared variety. Server, in 40 minutes, never once stopped by our table, let alone offer a warm up on my coffee. Same story after the food arrived, never did our server stop by the table on his own volition. Cheese was missing from the pasta, as was the warmth and inviting atmosphere you expect in New Harmony. Pass.

    Fabulous food. Visited tonight and will be back tomorrow with my Inlaws. Everything was fabulous. The weather is perfect and I felt as though I was eating dinner in Sonoma or Napa. Thank you Daye for excellent service.

    I really wanted to like this place ... the first time I tried to eat there I was with a bunch of people and we had a dog with us. Well, they wouldn't seat us on the patio with the dog. That's fine, if that's restaurant policy, but they acted strangely snobby about it. The second time I went was for dinner. Sadly, the inattentive service ruined it. There was barely anyone in the restaurant ... so I am not sure why it took so long for the food to come out and then why a half hour went by between taking the credit card and brining the receipt to sign. The food was just "okay," nothing wrong but just not anything special. I really don't know that I would be willing to give it a third try.

    We're here every year for The New Harmony Project, and the Red G never disappoints. The shrimp bisque is delicious. The wine selection is extensive, the entrees are incredible. We ate here twice during our stay. I had the scallops, smaller portion but oh so tasty, and the prime rib. A perfect medium rare. For desert, get the bread pudding. Its bourbon glazed and out of this world. Staff is super friendly and more than happy to accommodate your dining needs!

    The Red Geranium has been well-respected for a long time. I have only eaten there a few times in the past but my recent experience underscored that the Red Geranium is a classy, outstanding restaurant in an area that is full of fast food choices. The service was only outclassed by the exceptional food. We had a large party and ordered from the menu. The steaks were outstanding as would be expected from this part of the country but what I was so surprised by was the quality of the seafood... simply phenomenal. The only drawback is that it is quite a haul from Evansville and I get concerned that this wonderful restaurant in the country will have the business to sustain it. In the meantime, I am looking forward to my next visit to Evansville and a trip out to the Red Geranium.

    We've been to this restaurant twice in the last 3-4 months for family reunions, even being seated at the same table because we're always the largest group there. Our experience was splendid on both occasions. First of all, Red Geranium is situated in the historic little town of New Harmony, IN; the drive from Louisville takes you through Hoosier National Forest and there are lovely little side trips you can take along the way. If you're interested in the history of the town, I'd recommend taking a tour of the historic sites. There are also parks, gardens and labyrinths within a short distance from the restaurant. And if you plan to spend a weekend there and explore surrounding areas, the New Harmony Inn (which houses the Red Geranium restaurant) is a great choice. I ordered the Chicken Saltimbocca (Sauteed chicken breast with prosciutto ham, spinach and provolone cheese, covered in a creamy mushroom sauce) the first time, and loved it. When we were there last Sunday, my wife ordered the Malted Waffle with warm maple syrup, butter and a side of bacon while I ordered the Harmonist Omelette (omelette stuffed with goat cheese, mushrooms and chives, and served with fried breakfast potatoes and choice of toast) off the brunch menu and added a side of sausage links. We thoroughly enjoyed our meals. For dessert, I had the Chocolate Decadence Torte, which was very good. She had the Butterscotch Bread Pudding with Bourbon Glaze, which was okay. The service on both occasions was superb.
