They serve mostly sweets, but they do have a couple savory options, like quiche and croissants as well. I definitely would have appreciated some more savory options. The inside is also very charming, and the service is excellent, but it's just a bit cramped to really enjoy dining in. We sat next to a very loud table with a loud child, and I felt there wasn't much space to get away from them. We ordered the vanilla custard tart with raspberries, which was excellent. We also ordered a strawberry macaron, which I also really enjoyed. My husband ordered a coffee, which was good, but just a bit small. Overall I did really enjoy my experience here but I do wish there were a few more menu options!

I had been looking around for a caterer for my October 2018 wedding in my parents' barn, and had a lot of wedding prep to do- I didn't have time to spend on the details of table set up, equipment rental, cake delivery- Bryan took all my stress away! He came to the barn and shared my vision with me to make my dream wedding reception come true. I had some interesting requests that he took on with no problem! He was even able to help keep my mom calm (Mother-of-the-Bride!) He worked with my budget and was very accommodating and professional. Reliable. Also-the food was amazing! And the details that the maitre d provided by decorating with flowers around our cake and decorating around all the food went above and beyond. Ovens were brought on site for fresh, hot food. I kept hearing stories all night about how fun the bar tender was. Wow- thank you Redwoods team and Bryan for everything. I can't say enough good things!

We chose Redwoods Catering because of their excellent reputation, and I want to start by saying…read morethat the food truly lived up to the praise. Our tasting experience was wonderful, our guests enjoyed the meal, and the quality of the food was excellent. Unfortunately, the service and communication surrounding our wedding did not meet the same standard. Throughout the planning process, communication was inconsistent, and the contract terms were often unclear. I reached out multiple times for clarification on what was and was not included, but many of my questions were never answered directly. Looking back, I wish I had received more transparent and detailed communication before the wedding day. One of the biggest challenges arose months before the wedding. Our contract included ovens, china, glassware, and other rental items. I was later informed that Redwoods had double-booked another wedding and could no longer provide the ovens and other items that were included in our contract. I was told I would need to secure my own oven rentals which was especially surprising given that the company markets itself as cooking over wood, yet the backup plan involved renting standard ovens. Because of this change, they wanted me to scramble to coordinate another rental company for ovens on relatively short notice. Even with the rented ovens, several guests commented that their food was barely warm. I was told that Redwoods did have some china and glassware available, but not enough matching pieces for our event, and that they wanted everything to match. While I appreciated that consideration, it did not change the fact that I unexpectedly had to coordinate and pay attention to an entirely separate rental order because items that were promised in my contract were no longer available. Even our wedding coordinator commented that it is highly unusual for a full-service caterer not to be able to provide the china, glassware, and related service items included in their contract. On the day of our wedding, there were several preventable issues. One of the most frustrating involved the cocktail hour setup. My coordinator asked that the cocktail tables be moved to the correct location, as the setup of our rentals was included in our contract. She was told, "That's not my job." As a result, my groomsmen had to move the cocktail tables themselves while dressed in their suits, taking valuable time away from photos and from enjoying our wedding day. The most disappointing issue was that the coffee and tea station we paid for was never served. This was a contracted service that simply did not happen. I had to reach out to them to discuss the issue. When I asked what happened, I was told, "It was hot, and I was busy cutting the cake." While I appreciated the acknowledgment that it was missed, that explanation did not change the fact that we paid for a service our guests never received. I recognize that mistakes happen at weddings. However, I was initially offered only a $150 refund for a coffee and tea station whose contracted value--including the beverage service, coffee urns, mugs, and rental spoons--was over $600. Despite requesting an itemized explanation for how the refund amount was calculated, I never received one. I ultimately created my own itemized breakdown using the prices on their website and in our contract. Redwoods agreed to increase the reimbursement beyond the original $150, but I still lost money on a service that was never provided. It was disappointing that it took multiple follow-ups to partially resolve the issue, and we still came out at a loss. A smaller but notable point, throughout the planning process and even on my wedding day, my name was repeatedly written and spoken as "Sabrina" instead of Sabina. While this may seem minor, after months of working together, it contributed to the feeling that the attention to detail and personal service were lacking. Overall, if your top priority is excellent food, Redwoods certainly delivers. However, if you value professionalism, clear communication, accountability, and confidence that every contracted service will be provided as promised, I would encourage you to ask detailed questions, request everything in writing, and carefully review every aspect of your contract. Our wedding day was beautiful despite these issues, but several unnecessary stressors could have been avoided with better communication, planning, and follow-through. Redwoods over promised and under delivered. If I were making the choice again, I would go with a different catering company.

They have a variety of hot sandwiches, cold sandwiches and paninis as well as a selection of prepared sides, desserts, baked goods and coffee. You come in, order what you want and then pay at the end. My mom and I grabbed one of the 4-5 tables they have to sit and eat inside. I had the Black Forest Ham and Brie with Honeycup Mustard on Pumpernickel and my mom had the Hot Breaded Eggplant and Mozzarella with Roasted Red Peppers and Balsamic on 7 Grain. My mom's sandwich was excellent but mine was pretty soggy and had way too much ham for the thin slices of bread it was served on... I'd definitely try something else if I returned. Other than that the ingredients are high quality. I especially liked the taste of the breads.

"Under new management" - really ? What was the old management like ?…read more Walked in on a Wednesday during lunch hour - anyone behind the counter ? Hello ? Young Latin male appears to take order - he seems to be the only one in the store. Here we go :/ He plays cashier and rings up a nice lady who seems to have been waiting for a while judging by her sighs, huffs and puffs, he finished and takes the order of another couple waiting at deli counter (I'm still milling about mind you, observing the half empty shelves and loads of wine and booze for sale), and eventually takes my order. He was trying - we'll give him that - but no training at all, no demeanor, no banter, nothing. Since this deli was recommended, I'll order compare it with the NJ deli industry standard setter; Millburn Deli. I order a chicken cutlet sandwich. I asked him to press it - no press. He had no other recommendations. How could he - he is probably not "in country" long enough. At this point (the owner?) shows up - elderly gentleman who takes over the order and makes the sandwich. I asked this one if he had a press, he says no, but he has an oven. Okay - heat it up. I pay just $13 and change and walk out to eat elsewhere. Now the test - maybe it will be worth the trip? You readers be the judge - if the chicken looks dry, it's worse it's no better than cardboard. Wilty lettuce and super thin onions. Uff what. Waste of time. It's Millburn deli again hands down. Any positives ? It looks like they had some couple day old salads - standard stuff and some Italian stuff - but nothing impressive. And that's it. The chicken must of been. Day or three old. Which is basically it - the place is so NOT impressive for billing itself as a gourmet or "fine foods" establishment. Fine food has nothing to do with this place. I think I would have had better shot of a food deli sandwhich at Gary's Wines across the street and down a bit. At least they have fresh product all served with a smiling "hello - thank you for supporting us." Bernardsville is the wrong town for Monterey Fine Foods - much higher standards expected.
