Redwood Kitchen - Hollywood

We went there for a birthday lunch to celebrate the 87th birthday of a friend. The 2 stars are for the very friendly server who welcomed us and assisted with the seating, otherwise it would have been one star only the appetizers to share were good. My octopus was bad foul tasting), the NY strip steak was VERY well done we ordered rare), and the hamburger was over cooked as well. One of the meals arrived AFTER we were all done with our meals and the table was being kept untidy with empty plates on the table throughout the whole time, we literally kept putting our empty plates on the table next to us we were the only ones in the restaurant). To make matters worse, we never received an apology or any type of acknowledgement. Especially since we did meet one person who seemed to be in charge? chef? owner? he never did introduce himself to us during his very brief initial interaction with us when we first arrived). Very disappointing after reading the good reviews!

Husband and I dined here a few weeks ago and I must say everything was great from the ambience and atmosphere, service and definitely the food was amazing.

Luckily they were not busy on my hubby's and I visit. The atmosphere was calm and inviting as was our server. The food was fresh,seasoned and delicious. To top off our wonderful experience the chef stopped by our table and greeted us. We highly recommend this spot and will definitely be going back. I intend to work my way through the memu

Although the night before I was treated like gold it seems that the next time I went the following evening and that person really didn't want to associate or come out and ask a disabled person if they would like something. If you only knew what I gave the cook and a server bartender the night before. Good chance I won't Go back food was great but can't get service why go?

Great food!!! Loved the spare ribs and the chicken Ceasar salad!!! Drinks were great! Pleasant environment and great service!!
