"I have always wanted to go to Redwood as i walk past it everyday on the way to work. So with being restaurant week, I figured this was the perfect time to go. Had a reservation for 7: 15 and I got there about 7:09. I was quickly seated outside which was very nice. My server Matt was with another table, so a nice bald gentleman took my appetizer order. The calamari. Which you would think okay that's pretty standard but nope not theirs. They were hot and crunchy, fried hard which i love. Then they are mix with sauce and banana peppers. Now prior to this I had never had banana peppers with calamari or at all for that matter. BUt now that's the only way I want them. By now Matt has come over and introduced himself and was very helpful in me making a second selection. The Salmon with a shrimp succotash!!! Now I have never been one to like lima beans BUT Redwood changed that! Between the salmon and the succotash it was too good. I happily cleaned my plate. Then for dessert, I had the mango cheesecake with a chocolate crust. WHATTT?!?!?!? That made my inner fat kid very happy. Three of my favorites all together what's better than that. I tell you, eating that on Thursday evening watching people walk by and enjoying themselves while you enjoy yourself at Redwood. I have told ever and any one who will listen about how good my experience was. I will be back for sure!!!!"

"I went here for the first time to do the dining in the dark experience through Fever, and I assume the menu I was served is different from the regular dining experience, so disclaimer here. That said, I'll do my best to review the restaurant instead of the event. You should know it's eating a 5 course mystery menu while blindfolded, to enhance the other senses yada yada. Also you have to raise your hand to signal assistance.The restaurant has a lovely interior, gives the impression of an upscale place. The presentation on the table was nice. I was dining alone and I noticed the waiters taking drink orders before the event officially began. However, nobody came to my table until after we'd been blindfolded and I raised my hand to be served. As stated earlier, the menu was a mystery, and had some high points and lower points. It was not at all what I expected and just alright. This time the main entree was a steak and came out not warm. After each course ended and plates and silverware were taken away, my silverware wasn't replaced without having to raise my hand and ask for it. This was especially annoying because I could hear silverware being replaced at other tables quickly after each course. At the end of the meal, we were given bills of gratuity for the waitstaff and for whatever drinks ordered. I didn't expect the bill after paying so much for the event ticket, but that's fine because waitstaff have to eat too."
