   Staff was very helpful and comforting We really enjoyed the food and service The decor was amazing looking and very fitting to theme of the restaurant. Live piano and music was classy, not too loud which allows easy conversation. I’ll be back for sure and will voice my experience with others. Thanks

   I brought my father here as he was visiting from overseas and had wanted to try elk while he was in town. Woods restaurant was one of the options that I found online and after checking their menu I made a reservation for that evening, and I was very glad I did. We had elk tartare and scallops to start, both were exceptional. The elk tartare especially was absolutely out of this world. For main course we had the roast elk and the wild boar. Again, both were delicious, perfectly cooked and came with tasty and delicate accompaniments. For dessert we had a modern kind of take on a baked Alaska with sorbet, and a deconstructed s'more style dessert which was a chocolate mousse with torched marshmallow meringue. I can't say enough good things about the food, and will definitely be recommending it to anyone looking for a fine dining experience in the city.

   We had the worst experience this evening. As soon as we walked in, we felt uncomfortable and basically received the cold shoulder from our server. Every person we interacted with had an attitude, no smiles etc. I would love to chat further as I feel this service was unacceptable.

    Our waiter never spoke to us. We weren’t offered water and it took 40 min to get a drink. Had to ask for an appetizer from another waiter. We left after that.

    This was my second visit to Woods. Our first experience was tremendous, which is why we returned. The food was consistent between both visits , Amazing. Our server and the service for the second visit was the worst I’ve had in some time. It was basically the bare minimum effort. It was very unfortunate as we had been looking forward to this dinner for some time

    Made a reservation for 8 got seated at 8:40, it took 2 hours to bring the food and it wasn’t that busy. Had to keep asking the waiter for an update they love to say the food will be out in 2 mins about it was 20 mins extra or more each time. They end up giving my bf a wrong entree but we were so hungry we didn’t care. Not a very nice place for a date.

    We went for the set menu on New Years Eve. After an hour and a half, our first course still did not come. We left. The server was understanding, but I just don’t know how it takes an hour and a half to serve a scallop. We weren’t the only table who left, either.

    Ambiance was great, it’s a nice looking restaurant, each course was beautifully plated, and very tasty, only thing was both of our beef tenderloins came out well done and we ordered medium rare. It was pretty disappointing given the cost and excitement for it. It was probably just a mistake by the cook and everything else was great but because of that, I wouldn’t recommend this place.

    Great little hidden gem on Colbourne! We went for a family dinner pre-show at Meridian Hall (Formerly Hummingbird Centre). Timely and excellent service, great menu (Ahi Tuna was my personal fav) and beverage options. Highly recommend for a romantic dinner or small group. Piano player as well.

    Booked a 5 person client dinner a month in advance and cancelled by the restaurant days before because they didn’t realize they had a private party that evening. Asked to speak to a manager and said they couldn’t provide their cell phone and they weren’t in their office. Asked for the manager to call me back and they never did. Followed up the next day with another phone call but again, the manager was not available. The employee who called to inform me of the cancellation originally blamed it entirely on Open Table and even when I said the restaurant has to have some accountability here they refused to acknowledge anything wrong with the situation. Extremely disappointed as I had a reservation with 5 clients that I then needed to find a new venue for, a few days out and on one of the busiest nights of the year for holiday parties. Highly discourage anyone from visiting Woods given the unprofessionalism and lack of consideration demonstrated by their staff.
