Redwood Bar and Grill

Hello, we went to this restaurant to celebrate our 17^th wedding anniversary the service and the food we’re good the food was especially good… we had the Porterhouse and the filet with king crab the steaks were cooked perfectly, the best New England clam chowder I’ve ever tasted… if you go there you have to try the hot seafood medley appetizer it is to die for, everything was very tasty, but we feel they could have made a bigger deal out of our anniversary, I have a feeling people go there for special occasions, too bad they don’t have a program in place two make you feel special… the chairs were mismatched… it doesn’t really bother me so much but it does look like they don’t want to spend money on making things look consistent… and it does get a little crowded we had a hard time maneuvering are way out the door, I’m wondering if that is a fire hazard… anyway overall it was a good experience and we will be back

We visited redwood because we heard the prime rib rivals lawrys. The food was yummy, we had appetizers, prime rib, salads etc. there was a party of five and although we had reservations we still waited nearly an hour to be seated. So I’m giving this restaurant 4 stars mostly for the wait. And not sure why the service was so slow. Were there not enough wait staff? The service wasn’t bad, just slow. Will we go back? Probably. And maybe the service will be better.

Don’t go out of your way to eat here. If you are looking for a good steakhouse, stay far away. Unilocal reviews for this restaurant is misleading.
Ordered prime rib cooked medium. Came out rare. Sent it back to get cooked more, still came back rare again, but we just ate it anyway. Waiter never came by to ask about it. The bland flavor didn’t help. And why pour the au jus all over the plate? I don’t get that.
New York was cooked right but dry and low quality, bland.
You get what you pay for. If you’re gambling here and need a quick steak fix, this might do it. If you are serious about your steak, don’t even bother.
Unilocal reviews may be good (I don’t know why) but this place SUCKS compared to any decent steakhouse. Even BJ’s can cook a better steak AND cost less.

Right smack in the middle of the Cslifornia Hotel.
Lots of Aloha.
Lots of Locals (Hawaiian)
Lots of Love.
A block from the lights of Fremont Street lies the California Hotel. As close to Hawaii you’ll get in Vegas.
A $ 28 Porterhouse Steak Dinner hit my attention. Soup/​salad, 18oz steak, bread fresh from the oven and an apple dumpling w/​ice cream dessert capped a fine dining experience.
We also has a petite fillet, Baked Oysters, and a Maker’s Mark Manhattan.
Both steaks were a big overdone. A bit dry on the outside.
Oysters were good, but seemed to be missing a bit of oyster in each. Shrinkage?
The dessert was awesome.
Service prompt and friendly.
Oh. The horseradish.
I ordered it straight, not cut with sour cream.
Boy, that was the hottest I have ever had! Ever! I like it hot, but that was «blow the top of your head off!» Kind of hot!
The rest of the menu looked good. Couple next to us had crab. Looked like they enjoyed.
Will return and order rare.

One of the best prime ribs I’ve tasted! So tender and came out rare as I ordered! My 24 ouncer comes with garlic mash and veggies. Husband ordered their 16 oz porterhouse, it was very thin, comes with same sides AND dessert. The Apple dumpling was warm, crust was nice and crusty, vanilla bean ice cream and whipped cream paired perfectly with the dumpling. We ordered a bottle of Sterling (only $ 24!!!) with dinner. A wonderful experience and definitely will be back!

Outstanding meal for wife’s birthday celebration. Great steaks, lobster tail and salmon. Great service staff! Casual yet elegant fine dining!

Was just reading up on restaurant reviews and noticed that I had not posted on this establishment. WTH??? Maybe postings drop off after two years or something? In any event, I have eaten here maybe 50 — 100 times over the last 30 years or so. I was there again this past Friday night and ate a little bit for dinner. Started off with my standard double long pours of Maccallan 18 scotch, and had a small spinach salad. Then the big (24 oz only now; when I started coming to this restaurant eons ago, the big cut was 36 oz.) prime rib — rare. Had the steamed veggies too, but no starch — no bread, no potato, no rice. Everything was very good as usual, including the service from my favorite server that I request by name. I ate all the spinach salad, but only about ¼ of the prime rib — took the rest home for my three kids (dogs) and they ate it for their dinner already. No dessert cause I was full — I cannot eat as much in my old age, but I did have two iced teas to drink. I love this place, both for the food and for the service!

The food is superb and the service is beyond awesome. Our server Daren and Nicky were very attentive.
Will defnitely be coming back next time we are in town.

Always great service. Food is outstandingly delicious!!! Very nice ambiance. I do miss the live piano music though.

Excellent dining inside The Cal Casino/​Hotel! Had oysters, steak and crab legs. Yes, I know the joke, «Do you have crab legs?, well keep your pants on and I won’t tell anyone»…Ba-da-bing!
Anywho, the Redwood Bar & Grill is a great place to splurge when celebrating a special occasion, or after winning a big jackpot inside the casino…
Oh yeah, you have to order the baked oysters, AMAZING!
Highly Recommend!

This was the first restaurant we hit when we got to Vegas, my friends dad loves this place, the waitress knows him by name and was wondering when he was coming in again so we were pretty much taken care of, I had the prime rib and it was awesome, it melted in my mouth, and it was cooked perfectly to my preference. We also were drinking red wine, not sure the name but it was really smooth and went really good with the prime rib. What made this establishment a place I really liked is how friendly they were and we will come here again!

How Rude!
My boyfriend and I called ahead to check if the closing time was accurate (at 10!) to the information given on Unilocal.The woman on the phone confirmed that the closing time (11pm) was correct. When we arrived at 1030. We stood in the front waiting for a host while a woman and a man sitting diagonally from us stared while consuming their meal. Once the host arrived he proceeded to seat us but was interrupted by the woman eating with «we’re closed.» I don’t understand why that women didn’t have to courtesy to tell us that during the whole time we were standing there!!! She was so rude and if she was the one who confirmed the closing time than I am ever more disgusted. After the horrified look on my face, the host explained that they close early if it is not busy. THEN WHY DIDNT THEY SAY THAT WHEN WE CALLED??? Unbelievable.

2.6 stars, 3 just for effort.
1 star for service.
4 stars for food quality.
3 stars for value.
Service was just horrible. Took forever to get service and in between courses, couldn’t have taken longer. Once the check was due, took nearly 20 minutes just to close out.
Bread was good. French onion was good. Lobster Thermidor was excellent, again, service was horrible.

Everything was excellent. This was my first steakhouse experience and I enjoyed it very much. I had the Porterhouse special which was awesome (Especially the price $ 24. Wow! Right?). Old Vegas feel. Just what I was looking for. Wait staff were amazing. Very attentive. All in all a good time I would say. I will definitely be coming back. Next time I’ll bring friends.

We went here for Valentine’s Day dinner. The place was packed with people.
Got to look at the menu. They had a Valentine’s Day special three course menu.
They served us bread with an olive oil dressing with pesto inside. The bread was crunchy and fresh.
I ordered the house salad with honey ranch dressing. The salad was delicious. It came with a couple of cherry tomatoes.
Next was the Thai salmon and huge shrimp prawns. It also came with a rice pilaf. The salmon was under the prawns. It had a little spice to it. It also came with bokchoi and two carrots. The sauce was delicious and flavored the salmon and prawns well. I also found pieces of sliced portabello mushrooms inside. The rice pilaf was fluffy and light. I really enjoyed my meal.
After I was done with my main course, I waited for my dessert. I received a small piece of cheesecake with a strawberry with it. Presentation was nice. I ate the dessert up quickly since it was small.
Service was great. I even received a long stemmed red rose for Valentine’s Day.
However, in the beginning I wanted an iced tea and my husband wanted Coke. They never brought us our drinks, so we just drank our iced water. My daughter got her apple juice. I really wanted my iced tea, but I guess it saved us some money. I was happy with the food, but the service could have been better. The waitress and waiter were nice and friendly. Overall experience was good.

We tried Redwood recently and were all, unfortunately, underwhelmed.
Things started off well enough as we were quickly served water, and a delicious bread with a light olive oil, basil & parsley dipping sauce. Our waiter was very friendly, and did not thumb his nose at us for bringing our own wine ($ 10 corkage fee is a good ideal).
— Appetizers. My salad was good, but nothing special. The better .05’s seafood soup was really bad — tasting like it came from a can.
— Entrees. The Porter house steak was cooked correctly and was OK. The accompanying green beans were excellent, the mashed potatoes not so much. The cioppino was lackluster, with an odd flavor and the crab legs were not pre-​cut, making it very difficult to eat and a lot was wasted.
— Dessert. Pumpkin pie was good. The best dish of the night was the Apple Dumpling with ice cream
— Service. Started off great! But when we ordered, our menu questions were brushed aside — like he did not have time to answer them. Then it took a LONG time to get our bill and finally get my CC back.
Hoping this was just an off night, as we really like the CAL casino!

Fancy restaurant. Somewhat upscale. Perfect to come in after a wining night at the casinos! Or if you simply want steak. We were a group of 8 with no reservations and got seated instantly. Greeter asked if we had reservations and when we said no he said he would still help us out. Although they can only seat 4 at a table they still placed us close by each other.

I just flew in from the Bay Area and my husband has been waiting for me to try this place and see what’s all the hype about. Service was great. Tho we didn’t have reservations we were seated immediately after standing at the hostess booth waiting for about 5min while the hostess was at the bar till she noticed us. While being seated we were asked bottled water or ice water then were giving bread which was not so bad.
Appetizer— shrimp cocktail 3jumbo pieces pretty good. & crab cake the veggies were chunks they weren’t minced well and came out in a shape of a ball and the middle was COLD.
Entrée— I got the 10 ounce fillet mignon I asked for it medium rare it came out well done it was dry and tough! the veggies weren’t fresh tasted like its been frozen in a bag then thawed out and boiled, mashed potatoes was wrapped in a wonton ball it tasted OLD!
My husband had the salmon it was the worst it was so rubbery with no flavor tasted like it came right out the freezer and cooked in the microwave the veggie and mashed potatoes were the same. As we were leaving we saw 2 other salmon that were on a caddy cart that had been half eaten.
All and all service and atmosphere was nice but the food was terrible for what we paid. We will not be coming back.

This is how Fremont Street does steakhouses! Inside the California Hotel, I’ve been here twice now, and this is my place to get a steak in Las Vegas without the glitz and glam of The Strip and of course the price.
This is how I feel the Rat Pack did things. Treated like royalty in an old school atmosphere with 10 of my friends for my bachelor party. Everybody said they enjoyed their meal whether it was the porterhouse special, bone-​in rib eye, or the 10 ounce fillet. We also enjoyed some cheesy baked oysters, and a good quality bottle of red wine.
Top notch service, top notch food, and just a chilled, but could be made romantic if you want it place.

We try and visit every time we’re in LV and it never disappoints. The «steak special» is great with fabulous bread, great salad, large (18 oz) beautifully prepared Porterhouse steak and the simple, yet soooo good apple dumpling with ice cream.
I can long for the days when this «special» was $ 10.00 (and included shrimp in the salad and I think soup too), but this dinner at $ 24.00 is still a great bargain. The only negative is that we have the steak special as a tradition and miss out on some of the other great things — onion soup, prime rib, etc. We always think next time we’ll go ala carte, but haven’t yet.
The service is friendly, welcoming and professional — a great combination.
It’s not a Morton’s or a Palm or even Ruth’s Chris, (and not their pricing) but we LOVE this place.
Note that they are only open on certain evenings.
