The gastropub[2] Redwood operates on Stark Street in the southeast Portland part of the Montavilla neighborhood. The interior has redwood tabletops and walls.[3] Thrillist has described the restaurant as an "arboreal meat-and-whiskey palace ... full of low lights [and] High Life".[4]
The menu has been described as "upscale seasonal comfort food" and has four sections: starters, salads, sandwiches, and "meals".[3] Appetizers include apple fritters and fried brussels sprouts. The menu also includes grilled vegetable and pork shank sandwiches, pot roast, stewed chicken, and mussels frites.[3] The restaurant has also served burgers; chilaquiles with roasted chicken, fried tortillas, green sauce, sour cream, queso fresco, and fried egg; curry roasted chicken with fried potato pancake, green papaya salad; and cohinita pibil. Dressings, pickles, pico de gallo, salsa, and other sauces are made in-house.[5]
Brunch options include cheddar and corn fritters, a breakfast sandwich with roasted pork shoulder and eggs, smoked trout hash, wheat berries, and baked eggs.[5] Redwood has also served hash browns, oatmeal waffles with sides of bacon and eggs, and scrambles with ingredients such as basil, spinach, and tomato.[6] In addition to salads and sandwiches, the lunch menu includes soups and French fries. Dessert options have included chocolate brownie, chocolate buttermilk cake with ganache, and panna cotta with raspberry coulis.[5]
