Wonderful dinner. Had to wait about 30min on Friday night(no res) which wasn’t too bad. I had a small cut on my thumb and needed a bandaid, and hostess kindly gave me one. Our waitress Gabi was extremely attentive and kind. We asked whether to go for ribeye or pork chop. She said both are good, but many people come for their pork chop. We got burrata crostini to start with, pork chop, and casarecce. They were all great. Burrata crostini was delightful. Pork chop was juicy and flavorful. I ordered bread to eat all the sauce, which was gooood. Casarecce exceeded our expectations as well. Look at the plates that we cleaned up! Will def come back in the future. Oh, the icecreams were really good too, a pleasant surprise. “Payday” icecream especially was amazing. *Special thanks to Gabi again! You were amazing. Thank you for taking care of us!
The seared ahi tuna salad was the best I ever had. Every other item on the menu looked creative and fresh. Very friendly and impeccable service. Will definitely be back for an elevated lunch (well priced too)!
It was my Birthday gift to myself! and i brought my family cause we were at the Cal Game and they were in my car, I kinda had to bring them as they didn't fall for the I'll be right back.. Staff was awesome, waitress was awesome, only thing that was kinda bad was the lady at the table across the restaurant laughed obnoxiously super loud every time anyone at her table said anything, not sure what she was on but can WE ALL get some
I always get the ribeye... Never regret it. Wood Tavern had us all glowing this time. Still thinking about my steak and the potatoes were out of this world. The chicken was also super bomb. But honestly haven't had many other steaks in my life that were done as well as wood tavern does their ribeye..
Our first visit to Wood Tavern was INCREDIBLE! I leave quite a few five star reviews on Google, but I would probably give wood Tavern a 6 if I could. My rack of lamb was one of the greatest things I've ever eaten, and the potatoes underneath were delicious (they were au gratin potatoes and were incredibly cheesy and flavorful-- just thinking about them makes my mouth water). My girlfriend (who was celebrating her birthday the night we came in) also really loved the pork chop she ordered, and we both thought the pork belly appetizer was very unique and delicious. The lentils that came as part of the appetizer were such an unexpectedly tasty addition! All in all, we absolutely loved our visit to Wood Tavern and will be back again as soon as we find a reason to splurge and celebrate a little bit. We did notice that because we came in on such a busy night we didn't see our server a ton, but his suggestions at the outset of our meal were really helpful and he was very professional and nice. Would happily come back here again!
