    The waitress was rude and distracted. I have never had this experience before there. We will be back as the food is great. Just need to be a little more hospitable.

    Great little hide away! Pizza was outstanding and the atmosphere was 10/10. Dim lighting, moody making a lovely ambiance.

    No mention through the booking process or on arrival at the venue of a 15% surcharge, followed by a credit card processing fee of 4.5%, which was outrageous.

    As always, delicious food - the chicken liver pate was divine! Love the relaxed atmosphere. The service was subtle and unobtrusive but attentive. The wine knowledge of the team is definitely another reason to come visit and the pizzas …. Guanciale, Honey, Chilli - still a favourite and the lamb pizza …. DE-LISH-US!!

    The staff at Woods Yard are super friendly and welcoming! The food is delicious and the vibes are perfect for a chilled dinner. I was so impressed with the staff bringing out a special plate to welcome my parents to Australia. Will definitely be back ❤️

    Was keen to try based on good WOM. Casual / sloppy service levels. $44 for a small serve pasta special at a local neighbourhood wine bar? Great to have tried but probably wont go back. Therein lies the lesson. Repeat customers are gold ,especially in these times.
