    Little Beauty wine from punchdown
    Deanna D.

    Natural wines means nothing to me - I wasn't sure why I should want natural wines so the appeal to go in was the openness that made it look inviting to sit at the bar and have a glass of wine. First thing that popped was an orange wine listing - also clueless there is orange wine - found out some compare it to the sour beers - tried a taste and liked it but the woman behind the bar suggested a rose I loved and bought a bottle. Natural wine means they don't use chemicals on the grapes or in the bottle except sulfur. We loved the wine pourer (what do you call a person pouring your wine- they are so much more than a wine pourer) we learned so much- tasted her favorites and vowed to return. They also have a fun wall of local and internationally imported food with a large Spanish/Portuguese canned fish collection.

    Farm to table done beautifully. The Redwood has cozy wine bar vibes with superb, fresh food where…read moreyou can spend hours nibbling and sipping. It's inviting vs the stuffy atmosphere some places have. BABAGANOUSH PITA we got it for the kiddo expecting it to be run of the mill stuff you get. But the babaganoush had the extreme rich flavors of smoked eggplant and felt like almost half an eggplant went in there. Not diluted with tahini, garlic, just pure flavors of eggplant with tanginess of sumac. LITTLE GEM SALAD WITH RAINBOW TROUT was hearty, leafy and very refreshing. The pickled celery was the surprise. HAMACHI CRUDO - beautifully assembled with thoughtfulness, light, refreshing. A bunch of flavor bombs in there so each bite is an adventure. Basil making it refreshing, earthy crunch from hazelnut, sharpness from green onion, sweet tart kiwis. I think a bit of citrus would make this a superstar. Mandolin shaved limes perhaps? GRILLED MAITAKE MUSHROOMS - ok I think this was the chefs most technically impressive dish, with an exercise in playing with bitter profiles and turning it into a master piece. Grilled maitake gets the char from the grill is the first flavor layer, it's woken up by the wild thyme from the zatar. Next the Japanese turnips bring the second dimension with earthy beautiful bitter notes on a bed of a creamy tahini based sauce. It's finished with fresh parsley to bring a fresh element to it. Great stuff. Could raddichio be added to make this more challenging? I saw those crunchy POTATOES and I got them even after eating the meal lol. Do yourself a favor and just get them - they're hot, crunchy and perfect to pair with the vegetables. Finally we got their chocolate mousse with bruleéd bananas sorry couldn't take a picture before it was all gone. Great way to wrap. The staff were all super friendly and helped with picking things from the menu! I got the mystery glass of wine and they had made a fun game out of it. The Beaujolais was great too. Overall when you're surrounded by these amazing farms, vineyards and ocean - no better way than to bring them together - kudos to the creators of the Redwood for making this place with intentionality. I wanted to get the squash, duck pâté, spring pea salad, tinned fish items as well, I guess for next time!

Although the flavor profile on the salmon with citrus and saffron was not to my taste it was expertly prepared. All that said we received some of the most neglectful service I have ever had from a very nice server, who for no obvious reason left us alone for most of the meal. It got busier as our time stretched on, but it wasn't slammed and there was plenty of staff. We ordered plenty of food including two bottles of wine. We had to completely finish all of our appetizers before being asked about mains and we sat with empty glasses for ~20 minutes (possibly more) before we flagged someone down to get the second bottle; a bottle we left half drunk because it stretched our evening so long. I might give this place another try but honestly it was one of the most drawn out anticlimactic $400+ birthday celebrations (without desert) I have ever had. We could have done better at home for less.

Our family of 3 shared the following (we had some leftovers): 1) Chive dumplings - quite different from dumplings found in Chinese restaurants; tasty 2) Thai fried chicken - good 3) Pad kee Mao - amazing! Our favorite dish! 4) Beef stir fry - very good 5) Green curry with chicken - flavorful 6) Ube soft serve - good, though it tasted more like vanilla than ube I also got the tamarind soda, which was refreshing. Our waiter/server Sam was wonderful- he was friendly, attentive, and took very good care of us. The restaurant's indoor/outdoor set up, along with its lily pond (which my young daughter loved!) and greenery was lovely. We really enjoyed our meal here and look forward to returning the next time we're in Sebastopol.

The food portions were SMALL and extremely expensive compared to the East Bay and SF. Their host was either new or unprofessional. Typically I make reservations at dog friendly restaurants there's a check box to inform the staff if there's a dog. There was none. When we arrived the host was understandably surprised but unfortunately did not handle it professionally. Letting us know he needed to ''get creative' with our reservations because we didn't specify we had a dog, then making a big show of add an extra chair to their patio to accommodate all of us to scolding us to 'leave a note next time' was all unprofessional. While I agree I shouldn't have assumed, I don't believe - especially since we were able to be seated within five minutes of our reservation- we should have been spoken to like that. Our waiter was nice. Their indoor/outdoor patio was filled with plants and that was very nice to look at.
