Bria S. (our server) was amazing, friendly, and great personality. Food was great, atmosphere amazing. Visiting from Michigan, if I come back to Rochester I'll be back and request Bria S.

We visited the Redwood Room during UMR parents weekend. The service was outstanding, accommodating our younger children’s needs. Brea was warm and personable. Not to mention the delicious appetizers and main course meals. Thank you!

My favorite spot in town! You can never go wrong with the classic dill salmon or chicken Milanese. Best salmon in town. Lately I have been enjoying the featured dishes that they swap out every so often. Right now featured is one of the Best fish dishes I have ever had - Barramundi Nam Jim. I always sit at the bar and Ryan is a pleasure- consistent, knows me by name, and I always trust his opinion on what to try. He recommended the Barramundi and by far one of my favorites (along with the salmon and Milanese). Always end dinner with the crème brûlée. Great live music and also a good date night atmosphere if that is what you are looking for!

The bartender has the run of the music that is played on the speakers and insisted on playing creedence clearwater revival and Jimi Hendrix the entire time even though it was requested that it be changed to Diana Krall jazz genre. There was no love music this Friday night. The usual cozy vibe was non existent. The food was consistent and the service was good. Hopefully the atmosphere returns to what it usually is and is not changing permanently.

A cozy yet classy atmosphere with very nice live music. I was a big fan of the acoustic covers on the night I was there. The house bread and salad dressing were outstanding, and my meal was very good too. I had the vegetable curry. The rice was overcooked but the vegetables were cooked perfectly and the sauce was delicious.

Thank you Bria S. For such great service this evening. It was my husband's 51st birthday and he's not from Minnesota and hasn't eaten at too many places here in Rochester. Bria, you were on top of your game! We have been to many places around Iowa and some in Rochester and there's no one that has came with a refill on soda before we were done with ours. Your recommendation on the Malaysian Vegetable Curry was spot on! The flavors were absolutely 💯 amazing! I had ordered a Castle Danger Cream ale and was brought the Castle Danger IPA on tap instead. I didn't say anything because I actually really liked it! I'm not one to complain anyway.... My husband and I will definitely be back again! Thank you!
