The Woodshed?

We go there once, maybe twice per week in the summer. Really enjoy the food. We are not fast eaters, a 2-3 hr meal is just fine => beats rushing home to do housework

We find service fine, an occasional inattentive service person, but a few sharp words usually keeps their attention

In the past years they had 'greeters', people that you would see rushing from one place to another with a determined look on their face, where in reality they were just checking up on the tables, striking up loud conversations. This year, I have only seen one of these types, maybe they are adding waiters and subtracting greeters, a good idea IMHO. I don't go there to talk to them, if I wanted someone interesting to talk to, I would select and bring them along.

The owner, Denise, stops by once or twice to check on us. An overall pleasant experience.

A little on the expensive side, but I think you get what you pay for here. I only wish they had more interesting selections for desert, on the other hand, I am usually too full anyway...

At this time of year the seasonal wait staff at every restaurant is new and slow, plus attendance varies greatly night to night. Also keep in mind that the entree price at the Woodshed includes a full salad which most restaurants don't include. We've found the quality to be very consistent for our 20 years.
