   Always have loved L Woods. Food wasn’t quite as good this time but I think it was because of some menu changes where we missed the removed items (french dip, veggie burger). But still good, just not as good.

   The quality of the food here has definitely declined; portion size has also decreased. It used to be a “go-to” restaurant for small family gatherings, but not so much anymore. And how do they justify still charging the 3% “COVID” surcharge?

   I took my 5 grandkids to L Woods Pine Lodge today for Christmas lunch and I love the way they decorate for Christmas. Our waitress was great and the food never disappoints. There is a nice selection on the menu and the foods is always good.

   Our server, Evangeline, was outstanding. My ribs and coleslaw were very good as always, as was my Manhattan, and we always love the onion loaf. The Christmas grog (warm mulled wine, served with a cinnamon stick) was especially delicious. We ended up having that for dessert instead of a traditional dessert.

   Service was the worst and well as waiter. Waited 35+ minutes for meal. Waiter never checked in after taking order, never offered desserts, just a not great waiter.

    Was recently dining at L. Wood's for my Mother's and for my Brother's birthday celebrations. Mom likes to eat early, so the reservation was for 430PM. We got there and the place was PACKED! We were greeted by the hostess----who was very pleasant and professional----and immediately shown to our table. Our server was Flavio (sorry if I am spelling it wrong) and he and his team gave us incredible service. I had a few questions about entrees, and he was very helpful and informative. Food was awesome. We also took advantage of the Early Bird drink special, which was a great value. All four of their specialty premium Old Fashioned's were only $9 until 5PM. Mom and my wife had the house red wine, also on the early Bird menu. My wife and I both had the Walleye Fish and Chips and loved them. My Mom had a cheeseburger and took a LOT of it home for another meal! My brother had the Brisket burger and his girlfriend had a cheeseburger. Everyone thoroughly enjoyed their meal. For appetizers we shared the calamari. It was awesome! Two of the guests had the French Onion soup which they loved. My wife and I split a Spinach and Avocado salad and we loved it. I was kind of bummed out that I was so full, because we wanted to have the special Salted Caramel Bread pudding, but nobody had any room! L.Wood's and it's predecessor "Bones" (both Lettuce Entertain You restaurants) have been in that same location for close to 50 years. I can see why! I have been there many times, and will go back many more! Thank you Lettuce, and thank you L. Wood's staff! Last year my Mom and Brother were celebrating monumental birthdays, but covid in the family canceled that. This year we got a "re-do" for Mom and Scott and it was AWESOME!!!
