Redwood Café

I went on a first date to Redwood Café and we enjoyed every minute of it! The manager, Jerry, went above and beyond to make our experience a memorable one. His recommendation of the bread pudding was spot on and the Risotto was excellent. My date and I shared the Tiramisu (which I paired with a perfect Port) and our servers were attentive. For a more intimate experience, I would suggest sitting at the tables in the little alcoves areas. Next time we’ll sit outside which looked very cozy and inviting.
Nothing but positive stuff to say about our experience at Redwood Café!!💝🍲🍽🍷🙌🏼💝

Looking for a romantic place with delicious meals? This is it. Their service is on point, the food is amazingly good and the atmosphere is nice and dim. Celebrated my birthday here with my family. My kids got the chicken parmesan with noodles plate and was able to share it because it comes with two pieces of chicken and they split the pasta. My husband and I got the rib-eye steaks I replaced the mixed veggies for asparagus. They serve fresh baked bread with an amazing dipping sauce. We also ordered the meatballs and brushetta for appetizers and those we absolutely delicious as well. Overall amazing. Pretty pricey but worth every cent. For a family of 4 we ordered 3 main dishes, 2 appetizers, one glass wine, one club soda, one lemonade, one cocktail, brownie and the total was $230 to give you an idea and that's before the tip. I'll definitely come back again.

Beautiful inside, we had an older gentleman as our server and he was very friendly and attentive. The bussers also ensured that we had our waters full, and everything we needed for a delightful evening. The food is exceptional, especially the desert! It was a whiskey honey cake with walnuts and it absolutely melted in your mouth.

Everything was delicious. The Manager gave us a personal tour of the place. It was a while ago the last time we came to eat here. Modesto doesn't have a lot of beautiful venues so I'm happy this place is here.🥰❤

The best dinner I have had in many years. Service was amazing! The good was on point and beyond! Atmosphere was perfect! I can't wait to go back!

This is the most fantastic restaurant I have been at I 72 years on this earth! The service, the food so exceptionally good! We had the privilege of meeting the general manager who gave us a tour of the place, and it took an hour because everybody in there wanted to talk to him that’s how well like he is! If you’re Modesto and you need a good dinner, this is the place!

I don't know for sure, but I think there's 1 restaurant in Modesto for every 12 people, so when Clearbody Finkwhelter from Finkwhelter's Crematorium and lamp shade Company told me "Make sure you stop at the Redwood Cafe...it's the best!" ... I did!
And you know what...he was right! The food was Amazing, perfectly cooked and huge by any standards. 5 stars all day long. ☆☆☆☆☆

Every time I go here I leave happy, full, and content! The food quality and taste is luxurious. Service is superb!! I ordered the Halibut dish and it was unreal, bursting with flavor, fish was cooked perfectly! Order the coconut shrimp just do it.

This restaurant has the best atmosphere in 3 counties. They always have something going on! Food is incredible quality I had short ribs my partner had salmon it was traditional perfect steakhouse style. The dinner Caesar salad was especially cool crisp and refreshing, can't wait to return!!-

By far, in my opinion, one of the best restaurants in the Central Valley. Service is always on par, the atmosphere is great, and I really like the decor. The food is always consistent and excellent. This is my go-to place when I have customers in from other places. I've been many times and never disappointed. I recommend reservations. Not always needed, but more often than not.

Yes this place is expensive.
But it is 100% worth it. It’s absolutely delicious. The waitstaff is always stellar.
Please make sure you always make a reservation. I’ve seen so many people be turned away because they didn’t make a reservation and it makes me so sad they won’t get to try this delicious food!
Really excellent all around and can’t recommend enough!

My husband and I love this place. The food is great, the waitstaff is great and Jerry who I believe is the manager is amazing! We love everything about Redwood Cafe...better make a reservation though!

The food here was delish. My ribeye was cooked to perfection. Enjoyed walking around the beautiful grounds too.

Went with 2 kids , age 6mos and 3. They found us a quiet somewhat secluded table where all could be comfortable without fear of upsetting others in the restaurant. The waiter had great suggestions for all of us, food came hot and really delicious. They have an excellent and very well priced wine list, as well.
I sm from San Francisco but still plan to return to Redwood soon.

Service: impeccable; food: fantastic; atmosphere: extraordinary! This hidden gem in North Modesto gives this area a prime location with downtown quality and without the travel.
Dining outdoors is comfortable and romantic, excellent for a night out with your special someone. We dined outdoors recently and were amazed at the temperature control even during a "cooler" evening. They have gone the "extra mile" to provide such a visual elegance to complement your dining experience!
Fine job, RC! We will be back!
...And now, as of the first of June 2024, this fantastic spot still continues to excel! We have been here multiple times over the last several years, only to be surprised and satisfied every time! Rumor has it that Redwood Cafe's days may be numbered... please take this opportunity to, at the very least, enjoy their ambiance and cuisine!
...And the lounge is pretty darn good too!

Absolutely amazing atmosphere! Always very busy, so a reservation is recommended. It is a beautiful place to have a wedding reception as well. Lots of indoor and outdoor dining. Hours are unsual, so plan accordingly. The food is top notch, with good portions for the price. The risotto is a must! Mashed potatoes are on the dry side. I really enjoyed the filet mignon, juicy and tender. Coconut shrimp is delicious. The vanilla bean cheesecake was the highlight of the night! Great selection of wines, cocktails and even mocktails. The service is a bit slow, we waited quite a while for our entrees. Mention it's a birthday and get a cute little touch of a candle and happy birthday chocolate with a dessert order. Would highly recommend!

Visiting from LA and was brought to the Redwood Cafe to celebrate an engagement. This place is amazing! Our server was very attentive and helpful. And the food... Also amazing. Presentation was 5 star and the food was cooked to perfection. When we go back to the Central Valley we definitely will make it a point to schedule this place into our itinerary.

We came to the bar for some drinks and had some legit delicious eats! Chris and Jeremy are masters of their craft, drinks are hands down the best around. Come here for the food, the drinks, the company…you will not not be disappointed.

We made reservations in advance and it's a good thing we did because it was very busy. Parking can be a problem so get there earlier. I've tried different dishes and everything has tasted great so far. The spicy chicken pasta, filet mignon, salmon, halibut and coconut shrimp were all good.

One of Modesto’s finest. Such an incredible gem. If you’re looking for fine dining in a relaxed and very comfortable environment, this is the place. Great food and great wine selection.
