Diane saw a billboard for Redwood Steakhouse that looked intriguing although neither of us had heard of it before. So, after perusing largely favorable reviews on Yelp, we decided to check it out for ourselves. And by meal's end we were glad that we did!
After I truly enjoyed an interesting amuse bouche of warm marinated Black and Green Olives accompanied by large pieces of garlic, we turned to a meaty Shrimp Cocktail with Atomic Horseradish Cocktail Sauce which was indeed a bit orbital in spiciness.
Next I was pleased to be confronted with an ultra-cheesy and delightful French Onion Soup, followed by a very good Caesar Salad dominated by Romaine leaves but also including some Radiccio, and topped by 2 silvery anchovies.
Diane and I then each opted for a 7 oz. Filet paired with an 8 oz. Butter Broiled Lobster Tail that was split between us. The tender Filet was perfectly medium rare, and the lobster sweet and delicious dipped in a deep ceramic container of warm Drawn Butter. A drinkable Bearnaise and well-made Cabernet Wine Sauce, along with an ample quantity of pan-roasted mixed Mushrooms and excellent crisp Redwood Fried Potatoes enhanced the steak and nicely rounded out the meal. A scoop of sugarless Vanilla Ice Cream provided a refreshing end to a fine dinner.
Tableside service was friendly, very professional, and efficient. Comfortable seating in the bright and colorfully decorated dining room added to the inviting casual ambiance.
