This is a hidden gem. On the inside it is a classy place that has a full service bar with bartenders that know how to mix drinks, waiters/waitresses that know how to serve, and food that is delicious. Food menu has lots of variety and great wines.

The food was not bad but honestly a bit pricey for what it was. I had the chicken piccata and it was a little dry. The others in the group had steak. Honestly it was not bad, it’s just what you’d expect from a nice diner versus a steakhouse. Oh if you have any picky eater kids don’t get the cheese pizza- the sauce is a meat sauce and to quote my kid “it tastes like spaghetti” - and it really did. I thought it was fine but he did not.

The decor is a bit strange- modernish, but then they have this bizarre gnome and plastic flowers set up in the dining room. Not the place I’d go for an anniversary or anything like that if you’re looking for an upscale atmosphere.

Our server was fantastic. A nice young man with a big smile. He was very attentive and welcoming. You could tell he was trying to please. He was absolutely delightful.

All in all this place is ok. I probably won’t go back but it was not a bad experience, just a bit.. underwhelming.

We had an excellent dinner. I'm so glad that we stopped in. Their website said that their food was worth the drive. I have to agree. Great food with great service in a nice dining room. We will be back.

We travel just over an hour to get there. Food is great, staff treats you like your family. Atmosphere is nice, intimate and comfortable. Make the trip and you'll do it over and over!

Cozy little steakhouse but oddly not busy on a Saturday night. My girlfriend and I decided to try it last night. This food was not worth the price. If I spend $60 on a steak I shouldn't need steak sauce to get through it. I paid $5 for mushrooms that were disgusting, and we tried the buffalo fried cauliflower also disgusting. Calamari was great though. So when you get a steak you get a side of sautéed onions, mine looked boiled and tasted so. So the biggest issue was price for quality for me in now way was 2 appetizers 4 drinks steak and steak medallian pasta worth $260. We will be trying this place one more time for the more budget friendly items on the menu.

We were celebrating a birthday with family. The food was fantastic and the service was great. This is definitely a gem in the heart of Ottawa.

My 1st experience here was not bad. Full slab of ribs was great with French fries. Spinach salad was tasty. 2nd time here was my last time eating at this place. The waitress can be over attentive. There was awkward silence in the main dining room. The bread for my sandwich was dry. She handed us our to go containers as we were still eating. $19 sandwich, $22 entree, and two sodas comes out to $58 somehow. Plus left a tip so I felt overcharged. Woodys is no fine dining place, it’s mediocre.

Me and my partner came here 10 minutes before closing, and we had an outstanding experience. Even though they were closing in 10 minutes, they still accepted us and gave us the same service as someone who would have came in during normal hours. We had the opportunity to have the waitress, Jackie. I’m the type to be very clueless on the drink and food menu, so I followed her suggestions, and we had delicious food, and a wonderful experience.From the drink, appetizer, and down to the main course, we were satisfied. Jackie was very sweet, positive, and outgoing. If you’re looking for a good fresh meal, I would go here.
