MODESTO | OAKDALE
MENU
In 2010 the seed for Redwood Café was planted. Starting out of a small wine bar and bakery, our full-service restaurant was born. Redwood Café opened in 2012. Since then we have been serving Modesto as a casually elegant restaurant suitable for all occasions. From business meetings & casual dates to celebrations & intimate dinners.
We like to define ourselves as American cuisine, with a modern flare. We take ordinary and create extraordinary. From our steaks to short ribs, to fish, to pizza, we have something on our menu for everyone to enjoy.
Whether it’s a birthday dinner, anniversary, or just a Thursday night dinner, come join us and make sure it’s a night full of good wine, drinks, and food with impeccable service.

Traditional food with an American, modern flare
