The servers seem to want you to love your meal. Their employees were properly trained. You'll notice flavor interactions you previously missed. The restaurant provides a homey ambiance. This spot offers an uncommon experience.

Just moved to LIC and locked into this as a go to spot. Food is solid, staff is great, aesthetic is attractive. A nice spirit and beer selection to boot!

The care put into each dish shows in every bite. Their kitchen staff knows their craft. The service approach was notably excellent and supportive. The mood is perfect, workers are friendly, and it seems like a peaceful escape in the busy city. Visiting again is absolutely necessary.
Great service, very welcoming! We came for dinner and loved our food. The drinks were great. We had a great experience here and will be coming back again!

Will not be back. It used to be good, so disappointing to see it go down. Last few times my wife ordered delivery, always the same delivery guy. We have always tipped in cash when we get togo food but everytime he delivers, he's rude and demands money before we have the bag in my hand. The first time my wife gave him $5 for 2 burgers and he got mad. It's the same every weekend. We decided to go in for lunch since I cannot reach a manager to speak to. Low and behold, we see the same rude worker but no manager in sight. I used to love coming in and bringing friends. I dont know what's happened in recent months but the welcoming, everybody knows your name atmosphere has left the building. Foods not worth it, and being shamed at a 20% togo tip is not what I look for in a neighborhood place. I have never written a review, but felt the need to since I can't reach anyone and it's happened so often

Stopped in with my girlfriend for some food on a Sunday as we were specifically craving the wings and the grilled cheese with tomato soup, we live in the neighborhood and have been here a couple times before. We got seated in the back room with 2 other tables. It's a small bar & restaurant and was not very busy at the time (early evening.) We ordered our drinks and continued looking at the menu. The drinks came quickly and were of good quality, but that's where the good service ended. Our original server went on a break and a new man took over.
The gentleman who was now serving us passed our table no less than 10 times without even glancing in our direction. It had been at least 15 - 20 minutes and we were never asked if we wanted to order food, which is the only reason we chose to patronize this establishment.
We saw the gentleman interacting with other tables around us and attempted unsuccessfully to get his attention. After a while of this we gave up. Our drinks had been finished for about 15 minutes already, so we walked up to the bar to pay. Only at that point he asked us if we were ok and wanted to order food.
We did, but it simply took too long and left a bad taste in our mouths. It was almost comical how bad the service was, but it did make us question why we did not receive service while others around us did, in a small, not very busy bar. I don't want to call anybody out for being discriminatory unnecessarily, but we were the only non white table in the room and also the only table not being served, so we will not be back, as a result.
Went down the street and discovered a new restaurant that had opened recently and we were welcomed with warm, gracious hospitality and delicious food.

The spicebox dish is very good. The shepherd's pie was nice, but a bit high in veggies. The staff were really friendly and nice and we got to sit outside on a nice day. Definitely worth checking out.
Good and service is tremendous. Not at all pretentious. Always love going there and I could not recommend it anymore highly. Bonus: short walk to the waterfront.

Really good hamburger with Gluten Free bun. Large and juicy! Usually I like some kind of dressing cause burgers can be dry, but this was so tasty I enjoyed it with just the usual veggies. Will return for happy hour and sample some other things.

So when I need a really good drink from a place that actually has staff that knows how to properly pour, combine ingredients, and exchange great banter, I only go to Woodbines. Marta, Terry, Abby, Taylor, and Lucy are diligent and the main reason I stay loyal to this fine establishment. I feel appreciated and respected for spending my money, a mentality a lot of businesses have forgotten. It’s my destination weekly and my only suggestion for the LIC area. Grab an Aperol Spritz, a Screwball shot and enjoy the day.

The food is delicious, the location and the atmosphere is great and I really love this place except
The only thing that turns us off when we go is the bartender that is usually intoxicated and then has been rude We have been there many times because the food and atmosphere is awesome but unfortunately we won’t be going back there again because it’s not an isolated incident
On our last time there: The bartender was rude when we even asked about the happy hour options and it seemed like she expected our usual order instead and then just walked away ( and it’s really just being intoxicated ) We ended up having to walk up to her bar to order ( she never came back to our table ) and then as soon as our food was ordered the bartender then took the ticket and yelled across to another bar patron DO YOU HAVE A CIGARETTE??!!!!
This restaurant has wonderful food and has a great location We just don’t appreciate that attitude to come and pay 20plus bucks for a meal while the bartender yells over us it’s better in a dive bar
Again we love the place but it’s been more than one experience with the bartender being wasted
