Two stars might be a little harsh, but there's something really important the Redwood Grill needs to know:
Sweet potato fries should not come with ketchup.
I know it sounds small and nitpicky, but I've eaten many an order of sweet potato fries at various establishments, and they never come with ketchup. They don't go with ketchup.
OK, moving on. The sandwich I ordered during my most recent visit to the Redwood Grill was very tasty and reasonably priced. The rolls they gave us were tasty (and came with whipped butter!) but were so tiny that I felt like they were taunting me. My main issue with this place is their entrees - the meal I had when I came for dinner was a bit pricey and just OK. This is probably to be expected from a hotel restaurant, and I won't return for dinner. But it's a decent place to lunch it up if you're stuck in the Bayer's Lake/Clayton Park area.
Update: I've since returned to the Redwood Grill, and it is possible to get sweet potato fries with a dipping sauce other than ketchup if you ask, and pay extra. Considering a lot of low-end pubs don't make you pay extra for this same service, I think that's a little ridiculous.1 Previous Review: Show all »

The redwood is in my regular brunch rotation and I am never disappointed.
I do wish their homefries were crispier, but truth be told, I should be skipping them anyways.
The food is always tasty and the service is friendly. Avoid the booths if you are even the tiniest bit rubenesque.. they are TINY. The staff tells me they receive a ton of complaints about the booth dimensions. Maybe someday they will fix 'em! Until then I will continue to visit the redwood here and there, but only at regular tables! -

I've been to this restaurant a few times now, and up until this past Sunday had always had a great experience. The service had always been great, friendly, attentive, and relatively quick. And until a few days ago I'd always found the food to be quite tasty as well. The broccoli and cheese crepes are my personal favourite.
Last Sunday the fiance and I and his parents went out for brunch to celebrate Father's Day. We rolled in here to find the place extremely busy (it being a holiday of sorts and all), which admittedly is why we probably didn't have as smooth an experience as we have in the past. So that said, I'm not necessarily planning on holding a grudge, but in the spirit of honesty and fairness, I thought I would share all my experiences, good and bad, with this establishment.
Our service was, I will say, as friendly as usual. The waitress took our orders quickly, but then we didn't see her again, or our food, for a LONG time. We're talking "I'm so hungry I could start gnawing on this table if I don't see some real food in front of me VERY soon" territory. The good company and conversation helped pass the time, but suffice to say, our bellies were all grumbling quite loudly by the time the food actually arrived.
My second issue was with the eggs benny (my absolute FAVOURITE breakfast/brunch meal). The eggs had been poached so long they were actually hard boiled, except for the very edges which were soggy and...just not very appetizing. These were barely drizzled in an extremely thin, runny, and way too salty "hollandiase sauce" (frankly, I'm not even comfortable calling it that). To top (or bottom?) it all off the english muffin was burned at the edges and insanely soggy and wet on the bottom. It was kind of like I was eating a wet sponge.
I still do like this place, and I'm going to chalk this one up to a busy, possibly understaffed (I only saw two servers, which didn't seem like enough considering the place was packed and is not exactly tiny) day, and a most likely overworked cook. Still, given that it was a holiday and they must have expected to be busy, it didn't seem like a lot of planning had gone into how they would best cope with this situation in a way that would leave the customers satisfied and the staff not run off their feet.
Nonetheless, this is the only meal I've ever been disappointed with here, and I will be back. And I would recommend it to others. Maybe just not at a peak time, like a holiday. -

We have tried a lot of restaurants and this is one of my favorites. The food is always good ...service can be slow at times but food is always good. The salmon is my favorite. Anyone that has gone with us has always been pleased with their food.

We were here a couple of years ago and the food was just OK but the service was soooo slow. Well it is not nice to see some things don't change. We took some friends for breakfast and after being seated we still didn't have menus 45 minutes later. Just as we all got up to leave someone came by and apologized for the long delay so we sat and ordered. The food was Ok but again getting service was painful. I won't be back again.

Urgh. As mentioned I stayed in the hotel this place is located in. So gross. I was constantly sick after eating in the restaurant. After I moved out of the hotel I lived on Tomato Soup and Grilled Cheese Sandwiches for a week until my stomach bounced back from all of the Redwood's terrible-ness.
