Redwood Grille’s Tree Felled In SMP

You have to hand it to the plucky restaurateurs who brave the stagnant dining scene on the third floor of Santa Monica Place.  It takes a certain, for lack of a better word, courage to give it a go.  Sadly, after a valiant effort, it appears that yet another one has bitten the dust.  After a run of a year-and-a-half, Redwood Grille has closed its doors in the cavernous space facing the Promenade just as Xino did before it.  No word on what’s replacing it.  But there are signs of life on the third floor:  The upcoming Cheesecake Factory and the new restaurant in the future Arclight Cinema should bring new life… hopefully…

Redwood Grille Now Open In Santa Monica

Having taken over the cavernous space that used to house short-lived Xino at the top of Santa Monica Place, Redwood Grille is finally open after a slight delay. The “classic American cuisine” restaurant features a front that opens to the mall, bar, loads of seating, and an inherited patio with one of the prettiest views in Santa Monica. Check out their menu here.  Read more here: redwoodgrille.com.
