Red Herring, the long-awaited Eagle Rock restaurant from Dave and Alexis Martin Woodall, sets out to bridge the gap between relaxed neighborhood dining and night-out fanciness.
The building's unfinished-wood façade and big glass windows lean more toward trendy than your average local haunt. A waiting area with plush velvet teal couches greets you, and the dimly lit dining room sports vintage wallpaper and midcentury modern light fixtures. A bar in the middle of the room is lined with polished bentwood stools and backed with a full-length mirror.
