A true disappointment. We went there for our anniversary dinner based off previous reviews and from the time we walked in, it failed to live up to the reviews. The drinks we ordered were bad as in they had barely any flavor and barely any alcohol, even though we ordered doubles. The steaks were tough and fatty, and everything else on our plate just seemed so thoughtlessly prepared. Also, our order came out about 5 minutes after we placed it which showed by how wilted and soggy the vegetables were, as they we probably prepared earlier and we reheated for our meal. And about our anniversary…we entered this info in our Open Table reservation, but not a mention about it, which is fine, but then why ask. Hopefully this was just an unlucky night and their usual service is much better, but on this night, we left disappointed.

We know this restaurant so we know what to expect. Usually I like it quieter (not empty, just some nice quiet music and fewer people) but I didn't mind the happy babble this time.

The service was horrible. We walked up to the host stand to check into our reservation and three servers and the hostess walked by us refusing to make eye contact before we finally had to go ask someone if we could check in. Everything took forever, especially getting the bill. Food was just okay, view was amazing. Won’t go back.

Four of us visiting from the U.S. had lunch outside at The Wood. Three had the haddock sandwich special with spinach and pea soup as our side. The fourth ordered the grilled chicken sandwich also with the soup. Two of us enjoyed the Hefe Octoberfest beer. All of us agreed that the food and drinks were delicious and that Vanessa provided superior service. The outdoor deck area has nice views of the mountains and fire pit style heaters, making lunch outdoors in cool weather very pleasant. Highly recommended!
