Fantastic hamburger. One of the best I have ever had. Service was top notch. This place is going to be my regular. The clam chowder was absolutely phenomenal. Haven't had a bad meal there yet. Unbelievably surprised that so few people are dining in here when I go in. Once again the waiters were extremely attentive.

I recently had the pleasure of enjoying brunch at Red Tail, and it exceeded all expectations. The impeccable service provided by Avery added an extra layer of delight to the experience. From the spot-on food to the clean ambiance, every aspect of my visit was truly enjoyable. Avery's efficiency stood out, making it a memorable dining experience. Highly recommended!

A co-worker and I spent the weekend at the Singing Hills Resort ... the last time we were here (7yrs ago), it was the Sycuan Resort. We returned to play golf on the Oak Glen and Willow Glen courses as well as Cottonwood nearby. We ended up having three meals at the Red Tail Bar & Grill; breakfast, lunch and dinner.

We had the Huevos Rancheros and Black Forest Benedict for breakfast; these dishes remained unchanged, at least in our memories. My only nitpick was I wanted the English Muffin toasted more.

For lunch we had The Red Tail Club Sandwich and the Chorizo Flatbread. The latter looked like the Crispy Chicken Naan except for chorizo replacing the chicken. My co-worker loved his dish. My club sandwich was less successful ... the ingredients were not distributed evenly so there was no aioli or tomato on two of the pieces and no avocado on the other half. The fries were good.

We returned for a third time after an unsuccessful trip to Sycuan Resort and Hotel because the restaurants, we tried to go to almost all of them, were stymied by: a) Bull & Bourbon being completely booked; b) a hostess that didn't seem to want to seat anyone at the Viewpoint, c) a mechanical problem that closed the Pink Buddha, and d) Elicit Lounge was closed.

So, we started with the Crispy Artichoke and Grilled Asparagus ... delicious! My friend ordered the Specialty of the House, a 10oz Prime Rib; it came only medium or higher, and I had the Achiote Chicken. The prime was served with whipped potatoes, seasonal vegetables and roasted garlic ... horseradish sauce was extra. My chicken came with hominy corn succotash and a lime cream sauce that hinted of curry; it was delicious! I had two gin & tonics; they were okay and inexpensive at $9ea.

All in all, Red Tail Bar & Grill is a decent place for a meal; service is good; it' s convenient to the Singing Hills Resort and you can charge your meals to your room. A bonus, we received a $50 credit when we checked in. Rating? A solid 3.5 out of 5.

We absolutely loved everything about our experience we were staying on the grounds and we had coffee every morning there and at least lunch or dinner or drinks in the evening. We absolutely loved the morning staff that served as coffee. And the awesome bartenders in the evening

LUXURIOUSLY SIMPLIFIED!!!! That is how I would describe the burger. If you really love a simple delicious burger that looks, taste, and feels luxurious then this place is it. Ridiculously salivating. The butter bun is chard to perfect like the burger to give you the best combo of bite resistance paired with soft and juicy bun and burger. The garlic aioli adds to the experience and matches the greatness with just perfect crispy fresh lettuce, tomato and bacon! The sharp cheddar cheese was perfection since it was overly rich. JUST A DAMN GOOD BURGER!! Do yourself a favor and get the TRUFFLE POTATO WEDGES!!! Oh and please do everyone a favor and give the burger justice…. order it medium rare.. stop eating cardboard when ordering things well done

Sadly this experience was the absolute disappointment of our weekend. We were so excited to come over from the casino for their Friday night BBQ and music series. We had the most terrible service. We waited for over 30 minutes for waters and to have our 2 bottles of wine opened. We were told it was $25.00 corkage fee that we agreed to that but our server couldn’t find an opener then when he did dropped it on our table for us to open own wine. (At $25 a bottle!)
Then our salads came after waiting 50 minutes and 3 out of the 4 did not have dressing. The explanation was that only 1 of us told him what dressing we wanted. Soooo the other 3 of us get salads without dressing ? Not his job to ask I guess! I asked for salt and pepper and after 10 minutes asked to borrow from another table. Our friend went inside to ask for a pitcher of water and then we still waited and waited for it come. It’s just disappointing for some who ALways GIVES THE BENEFIT OF THE DOUBT to any server, to at least try. Try. That’s it. Have some hustle… tell your table what going on…we are spending several hundred dollars and really just need water refills and to take plates away.
At this point we asked for the manager. He came out with a HUGE attitude and continued to ask what we wanted him to do!? He said he could take 1 meal off the bill or he could use his 20% discount on our check. After we chose 20%, he came back to say that he wasn’t able to do that and that he was graciously taking off 1 of our corkage fees. So basically all of this hassle and horrible service and food and they took $25 off the corkage that we actually opened ourselves! Super sad to end our evening like this.

I recently visited Red Tail Bar & Grill with my family before seeing a cover band, and it was an amazing experience. I ordered the sage pork tenderloin, and it was cooked to perfection with a delicious flavor that left me wanting more.

What's even better is that I had the pleasure of knowing the head chef, Alex Akilov, who was a friend of mine from high school. It's no wonder the food at Red Tail is so amazing, because Alex is truly talented and has a passion for cooking that shines through in every dish.

In addition to the fantastic food, the atmosphere at Red Tail is top-notch. It's the best upscale restaurant in East County, and it's easy to see why. The decor is elegant and modern, and the view overlooking Singing Hills golf course is breathtaking.

The service at Red Tail was also exceptional. Our server was attentive and friendly, and made sure that our dining experience was enjoyable from start to finish.

Overall, I highly recommend Red Tail Bar & Grill to anyone looking for an upscale dining experience in the East County area. Whether you're a fan of golf or not, the food, atmosphere, and service at Red Tail are sure to impress. I can't wait to come back and try more dishes from Alex's talented kitchen.

We went for Saturday brunch, and it was excellent. I recommend the hash! Plenty of very tender meat.
