The WoodlandGreat!Woodland was great - went on a Friday night, and had a group of 6, so we made a reservation. But it wasn't that crowded when we arrived. We did get a big corner booth at the back which was fun and intimate. We might not have gotten the booth had we not had the reservation. Our waiter was super helpful, making recommendations when we asked. We had the corn fritters and pork empanadas for appetizers - both were just okay. Our table had chicken fried chicken, shrimp and grits, lamb shank (the special), the fettuccini - all were great! We were pretty much too stuffed for dessert, but tried the peanut butter choc pie which was rich and yummy!5/3/2013 12:00:00 AMFamily DinnerHad a wonderful dinner with my family and my new fiance. The drinks were great and came out quick, and my pork chop dish was AMAZING! Also, my dad loved the desserts, and he is a serious dessert guy!4/27/2013 12:00:00 AMLoved goat cheese ravioliLoved goat cheese ravioli with pink peppercorns. Light browned butter sauce. So much better than overwhelming white or red sauce. BEST chocolate pie ever!!!!!! Five Stars. Can't wait to try other desserts.4/24/2013 12:00:00 AMOne of my favorite restaurantsOne of my favorite restaurants in all of Austin. It is simple, relatively quiet, uncrowded even when full, and the food is exquisite and affordable.3/26/2013 12:00:00 AMGood wine!I am so sad that the stuffed tomato has been removed from the menu, but the linguine was an OK substitute. Order the fired oyster appetizer and you will not be disappointed.
I loved the wine list and great recommendations from the waiter.3/25/2013 12:00:00 AM
