About this restaurant

Charming
Great for brunch
Kid-friendly

Woodstock Inn & Resort Executive Chef Matthew McClure and his culinary team are excited to announce the reintroduction of Richardson's Tavern. The all-new culinary experience with ingredient-driven menus and redesigned interior will have a familiar and gracious presence through friendly service and casual ambiance. The rich color tones, unique artwork, and warm lighting are an exciting departure from the traditional pub or tavern design, without venturing into classic ﬁne dining. Expect local farms to be highly featured on dishes made to share, with a menu of offerings that will keep you wanting to come back and try more!

The design of materials — from printed menus, to digital items, to merchandise — closely relates to the tone of the restaurant's new vibe. Lino-cut style print block illustrations anchor the design, and the playful, unexpected illustration and color elements showcase a personality that matches our fun-ﬁlled approach to dining.

Our final server was exceptional. We asked to sit at a different table which the staff was not happy about. The first server appeared to be annoyed that we moved out of her area and the matre’d had an attitude. The menu is limited and the food was not up to the value. We would not recommend this restaurant.

Arrived at 6:20 for a 6:45 reservation There were several empty tables. We were emphatically turned away and told to return at our allotted time. We left and came back to the same empty tables. Not very welcoming!

Had another great meal at Richardson's Tavern. Highly recommend the Hanger Steak. The "Crafted Cocktails" at Richard's Tavern (and the Red Rooster) are top notch. My wife had the Vodka based "Collins". I had a special created by the local bartender which was heaven: "Sera Rosso" (combination of a Negroni and a Manhatten).

while we missed some things that used to be on the menu here, and had trouble finding something on the menu that we really wanted to order, the food we had was excellent and decently priced. Salmon entree was pretty basic preparation in theory but very well executed. We were pleasantly surprised by tasty/tangy dressing and great greens and radishes in the Rooster salad. Ambiance is very cozy and intimate. However the choice of loud, hard core blues music didn't really fit the space. Would have preferred something more of a background. Our server was wonderfully professional. Would definitely return
