WELCOME
From Michelin-starred chef Richard Reddington, Redd Wood honors the timeless craft of open hearth cooking, where French-forward flavors take center stage. A chef’s memoir in its own right, the menu is a tribute to the mentors who shaped him, the places that inspired him, and a lifetime spent in the world’s best kitchens. Whether you’re toasting a milestone or reclaiming the weeknight, Redd Wood is your invitation to celebrate—where the food itself is the occasion.
OUR CHEF
Richard Reddington is the acclaimed chef behind Napa Valley’s Michelin-starred Redd and Bib Gourmand-awarded Redd Wood. After starting his culinary career in San Francisco, he trained in world-renowned kitchens, including Arpège (Paris), Daniel (NYC), and Spago (LA). In 2019, he opened Redd in Rochester, and now brings his signature seasonal, European-inspired cuisine to Redd Wood.
