Redwood Steakhouse

This is a must for foodies! This is the place I chose for my birthday dinner. I ordered the 40 oz tomahawk with a lobster tail. Chef Henry prepared the meal which was on point! Thanks Chef! Donna was our amazing server. She really made sure that we were comfortable and had everything we needed at all times! The bloody orange whiskey sour is fantastic. Thank you Donna! Redwood Steakhouse really made my day special! Thanks to everyone involved! BTW, I hear it's nicknamed the 5th island for good reason, because it's amazing!

Steak was great, a little pricey but expected for the area. Really enjoyed the sides, (creamed sweet corn and mashed potatoes)

We enjoyed it very much. Food was outstanding , service very good. The atmosphere could use a tad more privacy from the casino to feel a little more classier, in my opinion. The restaurant was very nice. I had the beef tips - loved them, another had the prime rib and 1 had the filet . The bread was delicious- loved it.

Presentation and service were spot on! The bread and butter is fantastic. I had the surf and turf.... steak was done the way I asked (medium) and very tender but they don't season their steaks so flavor was not that great. The side of carrots were delicious but serving was quite small for sharing, the blue cheese Mac n Cheese is yummy but very strong (and I love blue cheese)...the chocolate cake was good, the creme brulee had 3 different flavors in small dishes, the vanilla was great but the other 2 were barely ok.

If you’re craving the best quality and freshness, head straight to Redwood Steakhouse. This hidden gem is tucked away inside the California Hotel & Casino, right next to the Market Street Cafe. Reservations are a must, as this place gets packed fast. The staff here is absolutely amazing, and the food is always spot-on. For starters, I highly recommend the poke nachos, salad, oysters, and escargots. For the main course, go for the rib-eye, king crab legs, or lobster tail. And don’t forget to end your meal on a sweet note with the guava cheesecake or crème brûlée. Trust me, you won’t regret it! You’ll be craving more after your first bite.

The food here was incredible. Literally compliments to the chef who stopped by and fist bumped me. The best crab cake I’ve ever eaten. The steak was perfect, and so were the sides. Even my mom doesn’t make mashed potatoes this good! The server recommended a fantastic red wine to accompany the steak. I didn’t have room for dessert, but he brought me mints! I highly recommend this place, and it is half the price of nearby steakhouses. My only negative comment was with the hostess. She tried a couple times to sit me at a table in the bar area right next to the door to the smokey casino because I was a solo diner. I am not paying these prices for a meal to be stuck at a table like that. One more item. I know old fashioneds can be made a variety of ways, but nobody I know is looking for chipped ice and soda water filler. One big cube and straight bourbon, please.

If you're a fan of succulent, melt-in-your-mouth prime rib, look no further than Redwood Steakhouse. Nestled in the heart of downtown Las Vegas, this hidden gem has become my go-to spot every time I visit. From the moment you step inside, you're greeted with a cozy atmosphere that invites you to unwind and indulge in a culinary experience unlike any other. One of the standout features of Redwood Steakhouse is its welcoming ambiance. Unlike some bustling eateries where you're left waiting for a table, here you can expect a relaxed atmosphere without the crowds. It's the perfect place to escape the hustle and bustle of everyday life and savor a delicious meal without any unnecessary distractions. Now, let's talk about the star of the show: the prime rib. It's no exaggeration to say that Redwood Steakhouse serves up some of the best prime rib I've ever tasted. Cooked to perfection, each bite is tender, juicy, and bursting with flavor. Whether you prefer it rare, medium, or well-done, the chefs here know how to deliver a prime rib that will leave you craving more. What's more, the portion sizes are generous, ensuring you leave feeling satisfied and content. Paired with your choice of sides, from creamy mashed potatoes to seasonal vegetables, every aspect of the meal is thoughtfully crafted to provide a memorable dining experience. In addition to the mouthwatering prime rib, Redwood Steakhouse boasts an extensive menu featuring a variety of other delectable dishes. Whether you're in the mood for seafood, pasta, or a juicy steak, there's something to please every palate. Overall, I can't recommend Redwood Steakhouse's prime rib highly enough. It's the perfect blend of flavor, quality, and ambiance, making it a must-visit destination for any food lover. So next time you find yourself in town, do yourself a favor and make Redwood Steakhouse your first stop. You won't be disappointed.

I come to Vegas, and there are all the fancy places on the strip. The Redwood food and service beats them all, hands down. 5 stars, everything the good reviews say... Even the bread tastes better!

Every time I stay at the California, Hotel and Casino, I end my last dinner meal at the amazing Redwood Steakhouse! I've had the best filet mignon, sea bass, and this time the "petit" prime rib was absolutely huge for this diner! Every bite was juicy, tender, exquisitely seasoned with the best au jus and temperature! Believe it or not, the mouth watering brussels sprouts, cooked with bacon bits, gave the prime rib a run for the money. Leftovers for sure baby! 5 stars easily First class service by all the staff, including the hostess, waiter, and assistants.

We had $100 dollar food credit and we were debating on where to eat. My wife found this restaurant and they opened for dinner. We ordered the following 1. Half dozen oysters 2. Cioppino 3. Braised short rib pasta We got a roll of bread which was good. It had butter inside and I wanted to eat more, but needed to save my stomach. The braised short rib pasta was great and moist. Oysters was good. I enjoyed the cioppino the most and amazed the variety of seafood I got, lobster, king crab, clam and sea bass. Service was great and we got our food really quickly. I would definitely come back here again.

Came to Vegas for a guys trip and was looking for a new steakhouse to try. Also wanted to look for an option off the strip, after some research as a group we decided to come here. Wasn't too crowded because we got there towards the end of the night so we were seated quickly. I went with my favorite cut and got the bone in ribeye. Was definitely a good choice. It was very tender and had excellent taste to it. Sides were good as well. Pricewise, you might save a few dollars on the actual steak, like $10 or so versus your go to places that would be on the strip. Same with the sides, which are shareable. Service was great, even had the chef come out to check on us and make sure that our food was to our liking and satisfaction. If you're downtown, this is somewhere that I would recommend going to have a good meal.

My partner and I decided to try this place for our last dinner date on our Vegas stay, along with our little one. It's a breath of fresh air for folks wanting a more upscale and intimate experience at California Hotel, different from the diner and quick bites nearby. The restaurant is clean and lightly dimmed for the overall ambiance. I easily made reservations the day prior, on their website. The host promptly greeted us and led us to our table. Another kind staff member graciously brought us water and freshly baked bread. Our server was nice and attentive. The food was amazing! We ordered the Surf and Turf, Prime Rib, Macaroni and Cheese, and Cheesy Corn (which was such a winner). I also think the prices are very reasonable for this type of restaurant. We were all satisfied. Would definitely visit again.

Great steakhouse. This was my first visit but won't be my last. Everything we ordered was delicious and made with very good ingredients. The ribeye was tender and parts of it were fatty which I enjoy. Our server was very nice and the lady who was assisting him was great too. Parking is free if you remember to validate your parking ticket before leaving. The only disappointment was that nothing was done for our anniversary and I made a note of it when making the reservation. But the service and food were still very good. We also received a very comfortable booth after the hostess tried seating us in a half booth.

This place a gem of a restaurant that should not be overlooked. Situated in the California Hotel, the Redwood Steakhouse offers fine dining without the sticker shock. Yes, it is a bit pricey, but a dinner for two, with an escargot appetizer, two large shareable sides, and two 12 oz lobster tail with tax came out to $189. Anywhere else you would be paying over $200. The escargot was done correctly with lots of garlic and well seasoned. The lobster was cooked to perfection. The baked potato with all the fixings including crispy bacon was huge! The brussel sprouts were amazing! The service is top notch, with elegant surroundings. Our server Donna has an effervescent, bubbly personality. The rest of the staff were also very attentive. This is a must while staying in Vegas, especially if you are in any of the nearby hotels.

Went to Redwood with my husband and we both loved it. A nice restaurant for romantic dinner. My husband made reservation. I recommend to make a reservation because the restaurant looked busy, even on the weekday. All staff were very nice and our date night a very nice one. Donna was our server and she was wonderful, very attentive and sweet. We both had surf and turf (petite fillet and 8oz broiled lobster tail) and mashed potato. Also a red wine, I think it was called Coppola Diamond. Everything was so delicious. Meat was flavorful and tender, lobster tail was juicy (dipping butter was heated with tea candle so it never got hardened nor tasted too oily), and even the mashed potato was delicious too (I don't think I can recreate that delicious flavor at home). It's a nice restaurant with a great service and delicious food.

The Family and I had dinner at Redwood Steakhouse on Thursday night. We took a stroll down Fremont Street and were looking for a place for dinner and the Redwood Steakhouse popped up on Yelp. There are a lot of steakhouses in Vegas. Many of them well known because of their Vegas lineage or their association with a celebrity chef. Neither is the case with the Redwood Steakhouse. The Redwood Steakhouse is located inside the California Hotel and Casino which is located one block down from Fremont Street. We arrived after 7 and didn't have a reservation and were able to get seated right away. The decor is very modern and unpretentious. Not the kind of place you need to get dressed up for which is nice. Especially when it is 107 outside. The menu isn't overwhelming and the prices are very reasonable by Vegas standards. I guess that is why the place has a lot of local regulars who appear to be on the older side. Many of the staff and customers appeared to know each other. One thing on the menu that drew us to the Redwood Steakhouse was the baked escargot with garlic-herb butter. My daughter and I are escargot snobs and to be honest, Redwood Steakhouse's escargot was some of the best we've had. It was rich, buttery and packed with herbaceous goodness. The Mrs. and shared the 22 ounce Rib-Eye which was cooked a perfect medium rare and seasoned well. For our sides the three of us shared the mushrooms that were pan roasted with shallots and parsley and the mac and cheese made with smoked cheddar, blue cheese, and bacon. The mushrooms were not like anything I've had. They were presented in a gravy that was really flavorful. The mac and cheese was REALLY good. The rich butteriness of the blue cheese mixed with the bacon was incredible. Drink prices were very reasonable compared to other places in Vegas. $14 for a Maker's Mark Manhattan and $15 for a Bombay Sapphire Martini. We stayed at the Park MGM and drinks were $20 minimum. Hilario was our waiter and did such an amazing job taking care of us. And not just Hilario but the rest of the staff did a great job taking care of us as well. We wanted for nothing.

The food was awesome. Always like dining when we visit Las Vegas. We were with good friends. We all enjoyed our entrees and side dishes. Our wait staff was awesome. It wasn't that crowded so it was easy to get a table. The only thing they could change is the garlic bread. Ends are too hard for old people to eat and the sauté mushrooms. The sauce they use doesn't taste good. They should just use garlic and butter. That's why we don't order it anymore. But we had the ahi and crab cakes for appetizers. They were amazing.

What a great neighborhood gem! The Cioppino was excellent with lots of seafood and the Bone in Rib Eye was huge. The service was impeccable and the food was delicious.

If you're looking for one of the best steakhouses off Fremont Street in old Vegas, this is it! The steaks were perfectly cooked, bursting with flavor, and simply amazing. The service was top-notch--attentive, friendly, and truly made the experience even better. On top of that, the restaurant itself is beautiful, creating the perfect atmosphere for a memorable meal. Highly recommend

We had our Christmas dinner at Redwood and it was disappointingly. My husband and I order the Christmas dinner that they advertised. We didn't get Honey Pecan Rice or the prawns. We got a Halibut filet with bok choy under it and a sprig of green onions. They also substituted Guava Chiffon Cake, which our server did tell us about. It was a highly disappointing meal. I always enjoy our dinners at Redwood but this time it was truly a disappointment.

Come hungry, servings are large. Had the smallest size prime rib which was large and tender. Crab cakes as entree. Side order of scallops. Comes with big loaf of bread. Didn't order starch as the baked potato looked very big. Enjoyed the calm atmosphere.

Both born and raised in Vegas and this was our first time here. Everyone from the front door to the back was soooo friendly and attentive. Our server Jesus has been there for YEARS and was amazing. Food was equally amazing. We will definitely be back to this gem!

"Earned" a comp for Redwood at the California Hotel/Casino. Hadn't been there for a few years. Used to get the biggest Prime or ribeye on the menu. Now I have to get something like a princess cut. Alas, aging... Any so I get the smallest ribeye and my friend orders the sea bass. He had never been there before and was impressed. Said it was very good. My ribeye came and although not impressive in size, sigh, it was so tender (I laugh when people say their meat is soft, no one should want soft meat) and delicious. Had an onion soup, bread, asparagus, and split a big baked potato. All were very tasty. Will be going back as soon as I can.

Had an awesome time at Redwood this weekend! Could not recommend this steakhouse enough when staying downtown and don't want to break the bank. The dimly lit steakhouse vibes are there. The staff was so friendly and attentive during the whole meal. Love all those water refills; thank you. And the food was delicious. All the boxes were checked for me. We ordered the crab bisque and oysters on the half shell to start. The crab bisque was amazing, so flavorful, with plenty of crab, one of the best seafood bisques I have ever had. I basically sucked that right down. lol The oysters were fresh as well. For my main I had the filet, my boyfriend had the 20oz prime rib (that thing was huge), mashed potatoes and veggies to share. My filet was very tender, basically cut like butter. Mashed potatoes and veggies were both solid as well. Overall great experience at Redwood. I will def be going back!

8-15-2024 As usual, food and service was great! Our food server Donna was friendly and attentive. The only thing I didn't like was the tiny cut-size of the poke which made it difficult to pick up. Authentic poke is cut a lot larger. However, its taste was good and we enjoyed.

We came here on a Friday evening - our reservation was for 8pm and we were seated promptly. We requested for a booth and were seated accordingly. House bread was fresh. We ordered the crab cake for our appetizer and it was good. I ordered the lamb chops for my entree - it was tender and cooked as requested (medium rare). Had 4 pieces and it was not gamey. It came with a yam purée which was good. They also provided sauce and mint on the side. My boyfriend ordered the Surf & Turf - the filet mignon was tender and almost melts in your mouth. It was also cooked as ordered (medium rare). The lobster was a good portion. We were too full to order dessert. Food service was perfectly timed. Our server, Hilario, provided great service - he was knowledgeable of the menu, checked on us regularly, and had a very good demeanor. Ambiance - well-lit; Not too loud/noisy which always makes dining a better experience. Seats were comfortable and the tables are not too close to each other. Price is reasonable compared to other steakhouses. One of the best steakhouses in Las Vegas - Definitely coming back !

Excellent time, from arrival to the end of dinner. Amazing food, excellent service and great ambiance. Look forward to my next meal here! I had the miso sea bass with bok choy and banana cream pie for dessert. Amazing!

We usually dine here every year when in Vegas and they did not disappoint. We ordered the oysters and they were delicious. We also had the 16oz boneless ribeye which was cooked to perfection. We also ordered the shrimp and scallop entree which came on a bed of orzo. The scallops were perfect and delicious. The shrimp was way overcooked but they remedied that making us another couple of shrimps that were very good. The service there is just amazing.

We stayed at the California hotel for my mom's birthday, and my brother and I wanted to treat her for dinner. My mom mentioned Redwood since she has been here before and liked their steak. The setting is completely different from the other restaurants at the Cal or Main Street. It had more of an upscale feel to the restaurant. The staff was friendly, accommodating, and attentive. My mom and I shared the bone in rib eye and wedge salad, and the waiter requested for our meals to be split which we appreciated! The Bone in rib eye was cooked perfectly and we loved the mushrooms and the sauce they use to cook it in. My brother ordered the filet mignon, and he did not want to share because he said it was the best steak he's had. The complimentary bread had a garlic herb butter on top. We would definitely come back!

Just a quick update. Wife and I had New Year's Day dinner here, and we enjoyed the special menu offered. Strip loin beef and lobster tail. The meal was pretty good, especially the sides -- risotto and patty-pan squash. The lobster tail was great but the strip loin was too thin and therefore was overcooked despite me ordering it rare. Dessert was red velvet cake and it was delightful!

This restaurant gives a first rate experience, once they get going. At first I was wondering if they were going to serve us. We had 8:00 pm reservations for 4 and they gave us a nice big booth... behind a long table with about 15 guests. After about 10 minutes a guy brought us water. In another 5 minutes some buttered sourdough bread appeared. Then, hark! Bigger than life Donna appeared to serve us. What an individual; we loved her. Our food was perfection. Each couple split a wedge salad. It had chunks of pork belly instead of bacon bits. A nice touch. Its blue cheese dressing was split, some under the lettuce, some over. Three of us ordered the prime rib. Their smallest size was about an inch thick, floating in Au Jus and was so tender we didn't need knives. Absolutely delicious. The fourth ordered the cod. It arrived perfectly caramelized with beautiful steamed bok choy on the side. Our side dishes were the creamed corn and sautéed mushrooms. The corn was sweet but also savory and each kernel popped as we bit down. The mushrooms were whole cremini, sautéed in what tasted like a balsamic Au Jus. All excellent and we couldn't eat it all. We ended up with a bag of goodies to take home. With the salads we had a Kim Crawford Sauvignon blanc. With the meat, a Paso Robles red blend. Sorry I don't recall the label. It was a bit tannic but breathed well and went with the meat perfectly. For dessert the four of us shared the giant piece of chocolate cake. It was fudgey and deeply chocolate. Unbelievably, we couldn't finish it. So, into the bag it went. Some of the best news was the bill... about 400 bucks with tip, which we thought was very reasonable, given the quality, service, and two bottles of wine. The California hotel is a bit old school, with the necessary trek through its tobacco stinky casino with a microcosm of gambling society, slumped over garish clanging machines. Next to the restaurant is their Hawaiian-themed cafeteria with the usual cattle-shoot space for people to wait to get in. The patrons, both in the hotel and the Redwood Steakhouse were island clad with shell necklaces etc. Kind of a surprise since the theme of the place is pretty much straight-up American steak house. You won't need to dress up to satisfy any dress code. I'd compare the cuisine to Mastro's, but about half the price and a fourth the pretentiousness.

The service was excellent. Our server was busy with a large party but he was fast and friendly. The atmosphere was beautiful. We ordered the fried calamari for appetizer and ordered the tomahawk steak. It's worth ordering the tomahawk steak for 2 people. It comes with potatoes and vegetables. We also order side asparagus. The food was delicious.

We had 5 pm reservations, we were seated immediately upon checking in. The restaurant itself has a really cozy vibe with comfortable seating. We've tried a couple of other times to come to this restaurant, but both times needed reservations because they were obviously booked. This time we made reservations, so we got the seating. Upon seating, we were immediately given water, and our menus to look over. After looking over the menu, we decided on drinks, and what we wanted to eat. Once the waiter came back to our table we placed our drink orders and our food orders. I ordered a Caesar salad and he ordered the Maui onion soup. For our entrees my husband ordered the bone in ribeye with a side of mashed potatoes that we shared and I got the surf and turf. Overall, I would say our meal was really good. Neither of us could finish our steaks, so we brought them home as leftovers. I wouldn't say this was an extremely high-end steakhouse, but it was pretty close.

We have eaten before and have enjoyed all of our experiences. The restaurant does follow up fast so it is a good idea to make reservations. You can make reservations on OpenTable, but we had a larger party so we had to call to make the reservation. Our servers were very attentive and made dinner service very enjoyable. Everything that we ate was delicious. Our party had the calamari, beef carpaccio, wedge salad, prime rib and lamb chops. Most of our food was cooked to perfection with the exception of one prime rib which was a medium rare and not rare. But all of the entrees were tender and tasty. The atmosphere is nice and quiet. The only downfall is that they leave the door open to the casino, so where we were situated sometimes the smoke from the casino would come in and leave a not so pleasant smell during dinner. This is a solid place to try and I will continue to come back to.

Nice quiet intimate restaurant with exceptional service. When you walk in, you know the service is going to be good in this beautiful restaurant. Everything as we expected from a nice steak house. The Caesar salad, filet mignon cooked perfectly and juicy, grilled asparagus, whipped mashed potatoes, and creme brulee was satisfying and delicious. Just a step out is the busy and loud casino. This restaurant is located in The California Hotel and Casino.

Superior service, excellent food and awesome company!! This restaurant is a must!! The steaks keep me coming back!!!

We were here this evening for my birthday dinner. Everything was amazing, from the Old Fashioned, to my Ribeye and my wife's braised short rib, to the wonderful service from Jesus. This was our first time here, and it won't be our last!

Service was very good. Donna took good care of us. We enjoyed our delicious appetizers and meals, and also enjoyed the gigantic slice of their special banana cream pie. We definitely left there full and satisfied. The restaurant is nice inside. Quiet, dim, a little romantic if that's what you're going for.

5/6/23 and 10/6/23 again! Thank you Server Jesus and Assistant Antonia for gracious service. Thanks to Chef for more great meals!! On 10/26/23 we had the Redwood Cut prime rib, Rib Eye, Braised Beef, loaded Baked Potato, Wedge Salad, Truffle Fries, Veg Medley, House Salad, and Maui Onion Soup. We ended with French press coffee, ice cream, and cheesecake- to-go! We are stuffed but so pleased!

Redwood located in California casino is quite upscale but causal dress code. We had a big party with us and service there is great our server was was friendly, social and a answered all our questions. And the food was top notch the ahi poke was delicious and my roasted chicken was giving all the flavors. Stop on in for dinner and share your experience.

Redwood Steakhouse, where do I start? I've been here several times. Every time I come here I'll order Baked Escargot, with smoked Mac and Cheese to start with. The servers are fantastic, and the atmosphere's lively for this downtown steakhouse.

Came to Vegas for my birthday and dinner at the Redwood did not disappoint! It is a total hidden gem located in the California hotel/casino in downtown Vegas. It's very unassuming until you walk through those doors and wow! Beautiful decor and super clean. Every single staff member was so kind and friendly and every one at some point stopped by my table to greet me. My waiter, Yul, was knowledgeable about thee whole menu and offered great suggestions. I splurged a bit and ordered the oysters on the half shell, the mashed potatoes side and the surf and turf plate. Oysters arrived so fresh with sides of horseradish, cocktail sauce and lemons. Yum! The mashed potatoes were a huge portion meant to share and seriously were some of the best mashed potatoes I've ever had. The surf and turf was the highlight and the dish I most looked forward to. It was a perfectly cooked medium rare petit filet and an 8 oz. broiled lobster. Absolutely worth the price and it satisfied my hunger for birthday lobster! They also treated me to a lovely complementary birthday dessert of a frosted brownie, ice cream and fresh berries. This is a place that should not be missed!

We liked this place and wanted to love it, but unfortunately didn't get there. Here's what went well. First off, the service here was amazing!! Yul was an amazing server and he did an amazing job helping us to celebrate our mom's birthday!! He was very accommodating, very kind, and professional and did it very well!! Also, kudos and thanks to the executive chef who came out to say hi to us and wish my mom happy birthday! What a classy move!! The ambience in the restaurant is dimly lit, yet gives a very classy vibe. Now, here's where the last star went away for us: the food was just so so. The steaks were good but not seasoned. Our steak also was kinda overdone from Med rare to Med well. Now in all fairness, we should've said something but we were all so hungry. Also, it was the bone in ribeyes and tomahawk that were over done. Our surf and turf steaks were perfectly cooked according to my siblings. The mashed potatoes and the Mac & cheese also didn't taste seasoned either. And the King Crab was just okay. The food that was amazing out of all we ate was the Lamb Chops, Beef Carpaccio, Fried Calamari, Brussels Sprouts, Surf and Turf, Sautéed Mushrooms, and all the desserts! Overall, it was a nice dinner, we had a great time as a family, and we'd like to give this place another try :)

Great food and great service. Top notch experience and the dining room is very intimate and lovely.

The first fine dining opened Thursday at the Cal through the whole Memorial weekend. It is indeed an excellent restaurant to the service given by the servers that eventually became close too. Ambiance is wonderful even on the open extended closed noodle shop side. My lobster was utterly delicious with drawn butter and a huge bake potato with a loaded dish of fresh fresh crispy cracked up bacon, sour cream, butter, and chives. I really made mash potato with the side fixings and so immensely in heaven. That lobster was perfectly cooked well, but not rubbery. My friend's lamb chop was perfect, needing no mint...over pilaf and a side of rice (large scoop). The other person had the roasted chicken over a large serving of pilaf. His wife was on the other end of a table for six to eight and couldn't catch what she had. And my two brothers had the miso sea bass. However, a lot can be said when everyone is quiet while eating with slight sound of satisfaction. Then, the chatter starts up again. You can't go wrong with unbelievable company, great food, and wonderful environment! We repeat this process today, Friday, 27 May 2022...Ciao. P.S. The best server with perfection, Jesus...

Service was very good. I did not like the chicken too much but it was flavorful just a little dry.

The ambiance was nice and warm. Inviting. Decor was Hawaiian, very charming. Everyone that worked in there was nice and hospitable. We decided on the Caesar salad with anchovies. It could've had a little more anchovies but delicious either way. We also had the porterhouse steak and cioppino. The steak was huge and cooked to perfection... medium well of course. The cioppino loaded with crabs, mussels, shrimps, clams and fish. Actually very tasty. Unlimited bread too. You have to try it, you won't regret it!

This restaurant is a fine dining steak house in the California hotel. The food was good! My husband got surf and turf and really enjoyed it. I wasn't too hungry so ordered the crab cakes. There were 2 on the plate and it was delicious. It was filled with crab (not filler like some restaurants serve), and it came with a pea salad. The house bread/rolls smelled so when placed on our table, but it smelled better than it tasted. The flavor wasn't as strong and the bread was on the drier side. Our server was nice, but he never asked if we were celebrating anything. We were there for my birthday, but it's okay because I don't really like attention, but it's a pricey place. It would be good for the servers to get into the habit of doing that, especially if they want a good tip on a high-price tab. Also, food took sooo long to get to us. Overall, it was pretty good/okay.

Enough with the gimmicky and viral videos you've seen about Vegas SteakHouses! Redwood is a league of its own, hidden within the walls of The California Hotel in Downtown Vegas! The quality they serve can only be experienced when there! Ribeye didn't even need sauce, take a taste for yourself!

My favorite steak house in all of Las Vegas, no joke! The food is always fire and service is always friendly and top notch!

I made my third visit to the Redwood Steakhouse at the California Hotel and Casino in downtown Las Vegas. I waited for the New Year's crowd to be gone and the restaurant was quiet and quite pleasant for dining. I was barely seated when a server brought me their cast iron pan of bread with a small container of butter. I wish they had some of this on the side because all that for one person means there will be a lot thrown out. I was brought the iced tea I ordered. My server then came over to answer any questions I might have and take my order. I got the Maui onion soup for a starter, the 20 ounce filet for the main course, and a baked potato with all the fixings. The Maui onion soup is excellent! The broth is very rich and the melted gruyère cheese along with the brioche crouton were wonderful additions to the caramelized Maui onions in the broth. I really need to try a different appetizer, but this is just so good! In a nicely spaced time, my steak was brought. I ordered it blue and it was! Bright red, cool interior--the perfectly cooked steak. The baked potato was filled with sour cream, butter, and bacon in the kitchen rather than serve individual dishes with those additions to a baker. This was especially good for the solo diner. The steak was very tender and as I mentioned perfectly not cooked the way I like it! After enjoying some more iced tea, I ordered the warm apple dumpling served with Lappert's salted caramel ice cream. The dumpling was topped with a salted caramel sauce also and this was very tasty. One negative with the dumpling was the dough was very thick on the bottom and it was hard to break through with the spoon served with the dessert. Service was otustanding. Iced tea refills without asking. A nice wait time between courses--a chance to check messages and email. It was a very pleasant evening. Remember to have your parking ticket validated by the host before leaving.

Enjoyed dinner at Redwood Steakhouse Restaurant in the California Hotel & Casino while traveling to Las Vegas. My husband, me and husband's brother thought the food w/ unique tastes and service by waiter YUL and MARIA was exceptional! We tried the Miso Sea Bass, Filet Mignon, Scallops, seasoned Brussel Spouts was fabulous, Aparagus was all totally enjoyed, we are considering going again tonight and trying the other dishes. We recommend this 5 star restaurant!

Two different nights- 12.13.21 Monday & 12.15.21 Thursday On Monday the 13th I had a feast of great food. My parents and I went to the redwood Restaurant to enjoy dinner and this day was planned the ambiance is inviting. Definitely a cozy spot for couples. The service is absolutely wonderful. Our server was Beatrice that night and she was amazing all around good spirited and excellent the helper - Heidi. She was also very delightful both of them were great servers to our table. Both myself and mom ordered the lobster tail and dad ordered the sea bass. Remarkably this is one of those moments where descriptions of such wonderful things come into mind. There was a choice to have our lobster tail steamed or broiled and so I figured since I wasn't having any wine with my lobster tail I went with steamed - mom did the same too. Just wonderful everything was just remarkable and awesome. The lobster so tender!!! Yum factor 100 Dad ordered sea bass on both occasions and he has described it as his most favorite so far. The miso is his favorite and him being 85% vegetarian and about 15-25% pescatarian (fish eating person) then he's happy with the fish. (To be honest I wouldn't know if there is a certain fish for being pescatarian I just know it's the only thing my dad will eat in terms of protein- FISH) On the following Thursday the service was quick. We had earlier reservations. Had been full when we got there on Sunday from eating through the week and the rib-eye was more than just amazing it was flavorful, cooked to perfection- "Medium well" and so perfect on texture--- it was spot on! And the service - well I wish I got the name of the server he was very good- taller and probably Hispanic and he's much older then the other two servers we had. He served us very well. Excellent service Also to mention the sides and appetizers we had earlier. Which were: the baked Escargot and the crab cake. I can't say that there was anything more tantalizing then that escargot it would be paired well with a deep red - "Shiraz" for a fiery hit on a sultry palate or with a white Chardonnay which has those flowery notes from the tip- the "legs" run longer and the smell leaves in the after taste. Yes, I might have ordered a wine but for This I was with parents... I might try it next time with friends. (Just didn't want to deal with the commentary coming from them if I did) The crab cake had a distinct pair of a pea and slaw salad. It's something that reminded me "Ryan's Restaurant" in Kaka'ako with the crunchy pea salad they had. It's very tasty and carried a lustful flavor in both the crab cake and the paired pea slaw salad. The light yellow sauce was a kind of mustard sweet relish it went perfectly with the cake. The mash potatoes are delicious. I could taste a hint of sour cream inside and it has a sprinkle of dried chives on top. What I found wonderful about the mash is the discovery of some lumps. It's nice to have some partial pieces in the mash that isn't entirely "mashed" also very yummy as it's stiffer and easier to lift with the fork. The only dessert we had from Redwood was the warm apple dumpling. It's caramel salted sauce, fresh accompaniment of berries: blueberries, raspberries, & one blackberry really made the dessert so delicious. The vanilla bean ice cream with the warm sweet apple and the crust it's wrapped in is just an epic "vacation" in my mouth.... I thank you Redwood Restaurant you have done over the expectations... I highly commend you...

We were meeting up with my parents for dinner and was going to go to the Marketplace but the line was long, so I just said, "Let's go here!" I have not eaten here and the last time I was in LV, it was the Pasta Pirate, which I really liked, so this was going to be a treat. I told the hostess we didn't have a reservation, but it wasn't a problem. We were sat over in the Noodle House dining room. Menu is not overly extensive which is nice. I read they use to do prime rib which would've great to try. But I ordered a BLT wedge salad, the NY steak rare, and the add on Oscar which was crab meat and asparagus, drizzled with bearnaise. I also ordered the mash potatoes to share with Scooter since he ordered the delicious roasted chicken, which had a mild spicy flavor. My dad ordered the Cioppino, which came with assorted shellfish and the broth was really good! My mom decided on the BLT wedge salad with the Oscar add-on. We also had a nice Robert Mondavi cabernet. Everything came out in a timely manner. Our server, Yul, took great care of us! I do wish I had room for dessert. Maybe next time I won't have a salad! LOL! We all agreed we should've came here, instead of that awful Lawry's, for Christmas Eve. This meal helped us forget about that dismal meal and lackluster service we had at Lawry's. The only complaint I have is that there was a cold draft where we were sitting, other than that, I look forward to coming back in the future!

Diane and I had another fine meal here prior to viewing "The Nutcracker" at The Smith Center. Entering the California Hotel's garage we were first staggered by the posted valet parking charge of $30, and $25 for self-parking on a Saturday night. But validation at the restaurant gave us 4 hours of free parking, which was much more time than we needed. As customary for us, we opened with a meaty Shrimp Cocktail in zesty Atomic Horseradish Cocktail Sauce, which was milder than it sounds. This was accompanied by complimentary buttered pull-apart bread. While Diane looked on, I continued with a delicious bowl of Maui Onion Soup with well-melted Gruyere Cheese, immediately followed by a cool, bacon-centric BLT Wedge Salad that was augmented by requested additional Blue Cheese Dressing, It quickly arrived with a few desirable but unexpected Blue Cheese Crumbles on top. While Diane enjoyed well-cooked Seared Scallops and Shrimp dipped in Citrus Beurre Blanc and served on a bed of Parmesan Orzo, I enjoyed a sweet 12 oz. Lobster Tail accompanied by a gargantuan Idaho Baked Potato with an opened vault whose basin was quickly filled with a pool of melted Sweet Butter and tiny Chives. And, accurately fitting its description, the slightly bronzed and paprika-topped crustacean was truly lightly broiled. Service by Hilario M. and his assistants was excellent and very attentive. Iced Tea and water replacements arrived unbidden. Surprisingly, when we tipped the scales the next day, Diane had lost weight, and I weighed the same as the day before. So we can and will return soon for more of the same guilt free. 4-1/2 stars overall!

When most people think of Las Vegas, they think of casinos. What I think of, is great food. Specifically steakhouses. Just about everything casino is the city, not just The Strip and Downtown have a good steakhouses. It's hard to decide which one to try. For a family dinner, we had that conundrum. Due to word of mouth, we decided to check out Redwood Steakhouse at the California Hotel and Casino. Finding parking can always be a gamble, and this time was no different. After walking through the casino, we found the steakhouse easily. To the left you find the dining room and the the right the bar. The restaurant has the feel on a fine dining steakhouse with a bit of a Hawaiian flare. Upon being seated, we had a picturesque basket of rolls brought to us. We then decided to order a bottle of La Crema Pinot Noir, which was delicious and reasonably priced. For an appetizer, Caesar salad. For dinner, my entire party ordered steak. Two went for the filet mignon and two for the bone-in ribeye. Most of the party added on the béarnaise sauce. I chose the brandy peppercorn, which really added a nice flavor. For sides, we went with asparagus and baked potatoes. For dessert, we split a crème brûlée (even though we were beyond full). The steaks were the stars of the show! My medium-rare steak was cooked perfectly and the brandy peppercorn sauce was the best of the bunch. There is just something about a restaurant baked potato that I can't seem to recreate at home. This one was outstanding as well. The crème brûlée was a nice treat at the end with a healthy amount of berries on top. Overall, the food was excellent. Pricing was right in the range you would expect with a steakhouse. For non-steak eaters, there are a lot of other options. The service was average at best, but I'm guessing staffing issues played a role in that

This is the best place to eat at the Cal. The food and service is difficult to beat. It's pricey, but absolutely worth every penny.
