I've been to Redwater a few times. I've always thought it was pretty good. I really want to give it four stars because overall I do think this is a 3.5 to 4 star restaurant. The food is great. The service is great. The reason I give it three stars this time is because when I went last all the courses we ordered were okay and only one was fabulous.
Steak is a difficult thing. I've eaten steak at so many restaurants by so many chefs. And I think that you should take this review with a grain of salt because I've become considerably choosy and picky over the years.
We ordered the meatballs and shared chopped salad to start. They split the salad perfectly and each of us thought it was absolutely delicious. Then ate a ribeye with Mac n cheese and broccoli rabe. Dessert was great. The sparkling water was really good. Our server was the sweetest girl. She was very professional and positive. Absolutely no complaints there. The other staff also was great. I'm only giving it three stars because of the steak! The steak was okay.
The best steak I think I've had in the city was at Caesars Willow Park. The Mac & cheese here was so so as well. To the best mac & cheese I've had in the city so far was at Farm.
Now... What was the best dish at Redwater Grille? Surprisingly it was one of the best Cobb salads I've ever eaten. It was really really good. Many of you will disagree with me for comparing the cob salad to a Caesar salad, but I am basing my comparison solely on taste and freshness. I love both salads. So .. It rivaled the Caesar salad at Caesars and also rivaled the Caesar salad at Teatro, which I thought was magnificent.
Still, the ambience, service, and quality of food overall at Redwater Grille is good.
