| - 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!
