Woodshed

BR I think the split happened even before this season opened. See earlier posts. I am looking at JDeere's comments and agreeing. It was a different place years ago. This is definitely one of those places I would like to have return to the level of service and qaulity that their pricing is attuned to! As it is now, I can't bring new friends there and KNOW what we will be getting.

You should get what you pay for. Has anyone actually gone to the owners and pointed this thread out to them?
That is why I generally won’t go back to a place that I’ve not been happy with.
Yes it could be a fluke, a bad night, a bad waitress etc. but it is still hard earned money that I've spent.
I strive to go above and beyond and set myself apart from those who do what is required, weather it be my painting business or my snowplowing business.
It has gone a long way to retaining my current customers and building my referral base

This is all very distressing news. I'd hate to see them go downhill.

I had dinner at the Woodshed on Tuesday evening of this week and had a wonderful meal.
Being a Lakes Region native, I have been dining at the 'shed for over 25 years and have watched it go through some peaks and valleys of overall quality in the years since Lynn sold it. This past fall/winter/spring for instance I had a series of pretty poor experience there and did not return for over 8 months until now.
On this occasion I had the seafood pie, my date the filet. Our server was wonderful, the timing and presentation were what I would expect there and the hostess (I believe the chef/owner's new wife) was very pleasant and checked upon us during our meal. We had no complaints about our food or any other part of the experience with exception of a large, rude table nearby who was trying the patience of the server and the other guests.
A few more experiences like this and I will be once again highly recommending the Woodshed to my friends and customers.
