Reds' Bistro & The Horseshoe Bar

A Little Bit Elevated with A Whole Lot of Heart

Nestled in the heart of Loomis, Reds’ Bistro is a chef-driven, community-rooted restaurant built on family values, genuine hospitality, and a passion for elevated food and drink.

What started as a father-son dream has grown into a beloved neighborhood destination where guests come for the duck confit and stay for the people. Our food is refined but never fussy, our cocktails are thoughtfully poured, and our atmosphere? Cozy, romantic, and a little bit nostalgic.
