Cate,

I would not be concerned with the quality of the food as some people here have comment. I was there 2 weeks ago and was very please with the quality of my meal. We where a party of 10, and to my knowledge everyone's meal was hot and prepared correctly.

The service was slow, and has always been that way in my experiences with the Woodshed. I don't know why it just is. However if you are planning on appetizer and drinks before you meal, my guess is you will not notice any serious lag in service time.

Do I recommend the Woodshed for families, most certainly not, as the service is slow, but if the event is for a group of adults, I think the wait is quite often counter acted by the quality of the food.

Finally on a slightly different note during my last visit to the woodshed my 10 year old stepson was with me. As kids will at that age, he explored things he hadn't seen before. Such as the spiral stair case just after the hostess booth. He was caught in his adventure, and then escorted back up the steps and allowed to see what was up there, and even got a nice tasting of a brownie. A place that is slipping doesn't take the time to do something like that. They do indeed care, and like every restaurant have their moments.....
