Woodshed

I'm amazed that locals keep going back and then complain. For a tourist, it's an easy mistake. Looking at Trip Advisor, it gets four stars over 198 reviews. That looks pretty good if you don't actually read the reviews or look at the dates. More recent reviews are 1 star and more old, out of date, reviews are 5 stars. I did not see any 2,3,4 star reviews in the ones that I looked at. Some of the reviews remind me of episodes of Fawlty Towers. Funny to the viewers but pathetic for the paying guests.

After reading your post, I went to check out the reviews and they're not very good. What is most interesting is that the ones mentioning the manager are never addressed.

We spend most of the summer just a few miles away from this place and, yet, have never been. Every time we think about visiting, I'm immediately reminded of the crapshoot it is.

Even though I like The Woodshed, you lured me in with Fawlty Towers, haha. Whoa some of those are bad! It is kind of funny how they are so polarized among diners. One interesting thing I noticed--one reviewer learned from "the owner" that the manager actually owns 50%. This of course explains how he's still employed

I notice that when Sybil keeps a tight rein on Basil, things go OK. Perhaps there is somebody at the Woodshed we don't see who accounts for such good days and bad days when the unseen force is there or not there?
