The Wood’s Bistro

Nice atmosphere and great food… great deal for their 99 cent per item breakfast.

Assessing an establishment is a combination of the food, the experience, the service. Sadly the Woods has failed on several occasions when it comes toservice, or should I say a lack thereof
Tonight’s experience involved ordering two pizzas, by phone from pick up. After the requisite 30 minutes we went to pick the up. Some 45 minutes later we finally got our order. Unbelievable. There is a serious case of complete lack of a system at this establishment. Consistently their ability to fill a simple phone order, of two pizzas for pick up, in under an hour, is not there. The only good news is we were not sitting in the restaurant. While standing there for 45 minutes waiting we got to observe the people at the tables being completely ignored. Good thing it was a Wednesday, and it wasn’t busy, otherwise I would likely still be waiting for my pizza some four hours later. The only reason this is a two star and not a minus one, is that the pizza was okay. The meat special was salty but the crust and flavour were alright. Too bad they cannot figure how to get an order out on time or serve their customers, because I think the food might be okay. But, we’ll never know because it never arrives!

The menu has a wide variety of options, are economically priced, and quite tasty! Would definitely like to return to try out more of their food, especially the Thursday butter chicken! Wings and beer are on happy hour pricing and they show hockey on the big screen. Service was good, the owner was quite friendly though the waitress did not clean our table nor fill water very quickly. They have a banquet sized room available for free bookings. great spot on the edge of town.
