We were hoping to secure a new favorite restaurant but sadly were underwhelmed by the Wood. Also found their website to be out of date, not coordinating with the in-house menu.

We both had the Cajun Maple Chicken. The chicken was perfectly done and the mashed potatoes and veggies were really delicious. We highly recommend sharing the Sticky Toffee Pudding for dessert but we would have liked it better had it been warmed up just a touch. Also, we were seated by the exit doors and there was a bit of a winter chill around our legs throughout our visit. Even though it was a busy place, we should have asked to move. Other than that, a nice night out.

We have eaten here for years going back to when it was the Sherwood. We chose the dining room thinking it would be quieter but apparently it’s a popular place to bring kids which we should have known because we used to bring ours. So if you want an adult experience, sit in the lounge. Menu could be larger but it has good steaks which I wasn’t into that night. Large selection of craft beers on tap. It was winter but of course it is still Canmore’s premier patio.

Service was horribly slow due to lack of staff not our servers fault. Food was only mediocre because it wasn’t hot when it came out. The herald pretty disappointed with our experience.
