Unfortunately It's rare that I get to go there because of the prices but thats what makes it special. I love the lobster bisque. Do they still have the bread in the flower pots?

I hear lots of comments on how expensive it is. For around here yeah. But for anyone coming up from MA or the southern part of the state I think it is basically on par... We usually go there twice a year and normally in the fall or winter wen things are slower. Always have had a good meal. For the money.....

i agree with you completely, its just too expensive for my family unfortunately. or at least to go every weekend

The people that started up the business were so nice. Are they still running it or is it under new ownership?

Went to the Woodshed tonight with another couple from the Island. Our original plans were to boat over to Lago but the rain storms canceled that little plan.

Well plan "B" worked out great. I had not been in a while and I can say that the experience was great. We made reservations but we arrived 45 minutes early and were seated immediately. We sat up on the balcony overlooking the main part of the restaurant. We had a great waitress, cute, energetic and knowledgeable. She has a unique name that I can not for the life of me remember. Anyway we all had Fish mine was the Sea Bass special, others had scallops, Salmon, Swordfish. Food was great service was very good. It got pretty busy by the end of the night and our coffees/after dinner drinks took a tad too long to come out but the Manger/owner? (not sure) brought them out herself, she recognized the waitress was a bit overwhelmed for a time as a large party had come in. No harm done though it wasn't too long a wait. Overall a positive experience. It is a bit on the expensive side but the $80 Gift Certificate put a small dent in the overall tab. I highly recommend the Woodshed for that once in a special while dinner.

Three of went last Thursday. We were seated immediately at 5:00. The place was pretty empty. Sat way in the back, I didn't realize it went so far back. We weren't extremely hungry, so we split a three appetizers, (The cheese soufle was fabulous) and a Prime rib dinner with shrimp. Had some wine and a dessert. It was the perfect amount of food, And it kept the price down. The service was good too. When we left the place was packed. Very happy we went.

Last year we also had problems with the Woodshed, esp the long waits and I posted some negative comments. Well, this year was perfect!! We arrived at 6:14 for 6:15 reservations this past Saturday night and were immediately seated... In a back room that I had never been in before that was beautiful. The place was crowded, The service was impeccable. The cocktails and food was great as always. We never felt rushed but whenever we needed something our waiter was right there. In my view the prices are very fair for what you receive. i am pleased to say The Woodshed is now back as my favorite restaurant in the lakes region!

No. It is under new ownership as of 2006ish. And no the new owners are not the nicest people I have encountered.
