Lovely dining experience on Christmas late afternoon. Great food, moderate selection of finely crafted cuisine. They were out of a couple of popular items that I might have ordered had they still had them available. After dining we enjoyed a nice walk on the waterfront and all the lovely decorations. Due to most of our family traveling over the holidays, this was a good choice for celebrating our small Christmas together. Tip on parking: use the hotel's parking/private valet service, don't use the Ruston general parking as this restaurant does not validate that.

We went to Woven for my husband's birthday which is also Christmas eve. My friends told me to be sure to reserve a table in the lower part of the restaurant. The menu was super interesting and we are excited to go back. However, the very bright LED lighting and very modern decor with lots of hard surfaces put us off a little. It was rather cafeteria like. Food was excellent, service was excellent as well.
