Redwood - Portland

Didn't know what to expect but the service and house made GF buns made me feel like i need to stop in more in the future. Food was overall good but didn't change the world. Very close to being something special but not quite there.

Day 2 on our itinerary had us going to Redwood for breakfast. When planning the itinerary, I found Redwood as one of the top rated breakfast/brunch establishments on Yelp. With three rumbling (hungry) tummies, we made the 20 minute drive to the restaurant. Upon arrival, we were immediately greeted by an employee who sat us outside (per our request), turned on the table heater (it was a fairly nippy morning), and provided menus. Roughly five minutes later our friendly server (I cannot recall her name) came by to provide us with waters, coffee, and to take our orders. Per our server 's recommendation, I ordered the Bacon Arugula Scramble with a Redwood Original (one of the beauties of being on vacation is being able to have a morning bourbon). My wife ordered the famous loaded hash browns with a **** Mary, and my son ordered the Fresh Mozzarella scramble with a hot chocolate. Approximately 15 minutes later our visually appealing orders were being delivered to our table. My son absolutely loved his order, which was doused in ketchup (I remember having a phase as a child where I put ketchup on everything). Also, his hot chocolate with a birthday cake-ish froth was absolutely delicious (he allowed me to have a sip). As for my wife and I...our food looked good, but did not taste the part. Everything was fresh, but the food lacked seasoning. I understand that some folks prefer to season their food with what is available at their table; however, the kind of seasoning that I am referring to needs to be done during the preparation of the meal. Although the food was not as good as it could have been, overall we were satisfied with our experience and the customer service provided. Our server was very attentive and did a great job of checking in on us without hovering. I can 't say that we would return to this establishment, but I also believe that sometimes cooks have an off day.

Brunch was the best yet. Tops Screen door. Service was friendly and great . Ambiance busy exciting ambiance upscale yet humble.

Great place for dinner! We were seated right away. Their margarita is one of the best I have had! All the food had great flavor and their staff was super cool and made sure we were taken care of. Smaller dining room for more intimate brunch or dinner!

I love this place and they take reservations for brunch. The location is a bit congested and there's only street parking but it is worth it. Me and the girls decided to have brunch and started it off with their featured, watermelon, jalapeño margaritas, which were absolutely delicious. I had the spinach omelette with salad. You can taste the difference here they use good quality ingredients and the farm to table concept. Our waiter was super attentive, and very knowledgeable. We will be back.
