Great Service, Great Food
5 Star Rating: Highly Recommended

10/16/2007 Posted by edmondcb

My wife and I came into the Woodland on a Sunday morning, about eleven-o-clock, for brunch. Everything was excellent, from the service (a friendly young man who the receipt identified as Wiseman) to the drinks and the food. The Bloody Mary I had was very spicy and rich-tasting, which is exactly how I like it. My wife had "The Morning Wood," which was as delicious (in her estimation) as the name is quirky and fun. In fact, quirky and fun are as good of descriptors as I can find to accompany this review. Highly, highly recommended. Oh, and getting a table was a breeze - it did not take longer than 5 minutes, though from the street it looked like it could have taken up to half-an-hour (which I would wait, if I had to, since the output is so good). Very efficient, and enjoyable, especially if you get to sit by a window. Like I mentioned above, the waiter was quick on his feet and very knowledgeable about the menu. He came to the table often (but not too often) and made sure our food and drinks were to taste. He had a professional, and at the same time, fun, demeanor, which seems to be a rule, rather than an exception, in the restaurant, as all of the waiters, waitresses, and even the manager, seemed to be having a good time while also efficiently doing their jobs. Anyway, I ramble. Go try it!

Pros: Great service, great food.

Cons: I don't think there are any!
