Delicious brunch menu. The French toast casserole was amazing! Coffee wasn’t great, and I wished I would’ve gotten a mimosa.

The atmosphere is very nice. It seems more like a place to get snacks and drinks. The food was fine, but nothing special for the price. We've been twice and had good experiences, but ok food.

Visited for the first time before the theater. Restaurant was moderately busy. Nice looking place, a bit of a diner feel but more upscale with a creative menu. We were seated quickly, but waited 15 minutes before a server showed with water. We waited quite a bit longer for our drinks to arrive, and then a long wait again before our entrees showed. In all, it was well over an hour from being seated before any food showed at our table. Our entrees were good, definitely not traditional diner fare.All in all, it is a pleasant enough spot, convenient, but be careful if you are dining on a schedule. Despite arriving 2 hours before the curtain at the Ohio Theatre, just a 5 minute walk away, dessert or coffee was out of the question as we ended up having to rush due to the slow service.

We were in the area and stumbled upon this place. But boy, were we pleasantly surprised! We ordered the chimichurri burger and the chicken hotcake tacos. Both the dishes were wonderful, and our waiter, Jacob, was very friendly and helpful. Would certainly recommend!

Really enjoyed this place.Server was the best. Lizzy, I think.I got an omelet (not on the menu). To order two extra pieces of bacon was a few dollars, which is more than a bit crazy. Sans extra bacon, smallish omelet and coffee with no sides was $14.Coffee was excellent. They offered me a refill for the road on the way out which was greatly appreciated.Wheelchair accessibility: It's on the ground floor with sidewalk accessibility

This is a long one. First time writing a restaurant review- I reached out to the restaurant twice before writing this but... crickets.A group of 4 of us went to the Woodbury on a Friday in January before a show at the Ohio Theater. Reservations at 6:15, show at 8. Seated us right away, staff very friendly, restaurant 75% full. Nice décor.Server a bit slow to greet us but was really nice and took our drink/app order right away. We let him know immediately we had tickets to a show. Restaurant has a posted policy about turning tables every 90 minutes. 2 appetizers came in a timely fashion, our drinks did not. Did not get our drinks until well after the apps. Server apologized and let us know the "bartender was slammed.". Bar was empty. We could see it. Drinks were good, apps pretty good. $$$$We then began the big wait. To save you all the details, we basically waited until well after 7:30 with no entrees. No one ever updated us as to why the food was delayed, no manager stopped by to apologize or do anything. Didn't see our server much. At 7:40 I had to physically walk into the server area with the registers to tell our server to ring us up for the drinks/apps because we had to go to our show. Huge debacle. Felt sorry for the server- he couldn't really help us much. $97.00 for 4 drinks and 2 apps and no entrees (not including tip). THEY CHARGE A 3% SURCHARGE TO USE YOUR CREDIT CARD. Insane.I've emailed and called with no response.TL/DR: Don't go here. Terribly managed, food too expensive, servers/bar inexperienced. I would be immensely surprised if this place is around in 6 months.

Great service and two delicious dinners- the meatloaf and the filet. Not much ambiance but the overall a nice place to go right before going to the theater since it's so close.

We celebrated bottomless mimosas for a friends birthday here. Waiter was accommodating to menu changes and friendly. Hostess was weird about sitting us early when our table was ready. For a large party you have to call ahead which is fine.

Spent $300 collectively on brunch Saturday just to all wind up with food poisoning by the end of the day.

Went to brunch there on Saturday with some friends. I've been there for dinner but not brunch. Our server was grumpy (not a deal breaker, everyone has an off day) but her service got progressively slower despite the place not being as busy as when we arrived. It took half hour to get drinks. We got the beignets (those were doughnut holes, good but not a beignet). I ordered the Thit Kho Thom Hash, and it was terrible. Bits of sweet potsto and unrecognizable pork belly in a soupy mess of maple syrup. All you tasted was syrup. Then it took us 45 mins to get our bill and pay. We were nearly late for our next appointment. All in all, it was a dismal experience. Hopefully they just had an off day, but will definitely not be back for brunch.

Service was great until 6pm.. and then it dropped to poor. Same waitress. It did get busy but still. We saw one table sit down and never acknowledged for 20 minutes. Not even water.

We went for brunch and the food was very good and unique! Some menu items are a bit overpriced for what they are. For instance, we got the crab Rangoon dip which was $17, and I felt like there wasn't enough chips nor dip for that price (on the other hand, I would go back for happy hour someday and get it again for $5). Our waitress wasn't the friendliest and I know it was a busy time for them (weekend brunch @ 11am), but it just seemed like we were a burden to be there. Overall I would go again to try out more menu items for dinner!

The food was super bland. I expected the burger with chimichrurri and pepper jack to be spicy but it has zero flavor at all. The chicken was also very bland. Maybe their breakfast is better but I would just expect better food for the price. The service was alright, not very attentive but I understand restaurants can be busy.

Great first time @ The Woodbury. Food was excellent, service was awesome and the bottomless Mimosa was free flowing. Will certainly return.

The food just wasn't that good, I got a salad that had too little greens and not enough seasoning. The chicken on the salad was also bland. Nothing was unacceptable with the meal, but it was underwhelming.The drink I ordered was good and the server was very nice.
