Woods Restaurant & Bar

Fantastic ambiance, the dining room is stylish and intimate. The menu is alright, the food is beautifully presented but tastes a bit generic.

I still recommend Woods but I suggest to focus on cocktails and great atmosphere rather than on food. Make sure you make a reservation, the place is pretty small and fills up quickly.

Food was top notch, server was professional and attentive. Special shout out to the chef, the elk was cook to perfection. Would definitely come back again!

Nice atmosphere, live piano being played. Food was slow to come out as we waited quite a while before being given our mains after the appetizers. The duck confit was quite deliciously cooked and tender – the meat just fell off the bone. The elk ragu was quite strong in flavour (gamey). The seared tuna was mild in flavour but nicely presented. Lastly, the steak was overcooked and served cold. We requested for it to be sent back to the kitchen for a second try and the waiter was very helpful and accommodating. All in all, not sure we would return.

Exceptional dining experience.

I visited Woods restaurant with my mother and husband during our holiday in Toronto 2 November 2023. We are from London, UK and are used to dining at a variety of excellent restaurants. I believe Woods restaurant is one of the best dining experiences I have experienced!

The ambiance of the restaurant was made by the very talented piano 🎹 player who played a variety of songs all through the night.

The service was impeccable, the waiters brought the food at the same time, cleared the plates as soon as we had finished, etc. They were very knowledgeable and polite.

The food was also fabulous. We had scallops, Elk, wild boar, duck. All the ingredients were very fresh and presented so thoughtfully.

Yes it was more expensive than an average meal but you get what you pay for. I am happy to pay more for a special occasion and a wonderful evening.

Great food with a particularly strong ambiance. The elk tartare was unique and featured larger chunks of meat than a traditional French tartare, giving it a tangy stronger taste (not to mention the elk). The boar burger was very flavourful. Great spot for a rustic and gamey experience.
