The food is food and well executed. Our waiter was a little disorganized/unfocused. Very pleasant ambiance.

An exceptional experience. The service is second to none and the menu is a delicious adventure.

I enjoyed my birthday dinner here, very much. The atmosphere is gorgeous, the service impeccable and the food even more so. I couldn't be happier with my experience at Woods.

A truly underrated experience. Every dish was spot-on. Bold, deliberate flavours in every ingredient on the plate. Service was professional and warmly attentive. There was a slight weight for some of the dishes, but it was well worth it. Will look forward to visiting again

Absolutely will return! Fantastic ambiance and lighting. Delightful cocktail menu and perfectly cooked meats. We were offered a complimentary wine with our main dishes, to enhance the flavour of the elk.

You won’t find better service or more exquisite food anywhere else. The restaurant itself is stunning between the decor and the live piano music creating a comforting atmosphere. The service is beyond exceptional and welcoming. A unique menu with delicious items. This is one of the best restaurants in Toronto easily.
This was our second time at Woods, the first experience was just as exceptional, despite arriving early to our reservation and saying we could wait the staff welcomed us in to our table. Our server asked upon seating if we had a show to attend that evening, which we did, assuring us not to worry about time. He provided great input on the menu and wine selection. Reminded us of the time after we completed our meal in a genuinely sincere manner, not pushy, he was very considerate. The food was absolutely delicious and the service even better.
SCAM. AVOID AT ALL COSTS. THERE ARE BETTER PLACES TO SPEND $300 ON A MEAL WITHOUT BEING SCAMMED. Asked for tap water. They brought $10 bottles without telling us about the charge. You're already spending $50+ on mains, and THIS is their hill to die on??? EMBARASSING. This seems to be a common pattern and scam at the restaurants (look at previous reviews).
Underwhelming. Server was rude, dirty flatware, and didn't ask how we'd like our meat cooked. I'm not paying $300 for Jack Astor's service.

Wow. This was the most amazing experience.
Everything, evvvvvvverything was so lovely. The staff were just so great, shoutout to everyone and our server Sammy
The food…wow. So good. Everything was delicious and Wood speciaizes in Elk and it shows. Order the elk!
It was an extra special occasion, with my partners birthday and they made it so so special
Everything was delicious. And honestly soo ….affordable. With the service and quaLity … Woods is simply unbeat
This place was amazing. The service was a 10 out of 5 (yes, you’re reading that correctly). The maître d’ is from Brooklyn, NY and was so fun and personable. He made all the difference during our dinner… My experience wasn’t even about the food, which was excellent… The service was exemplary for the price. We love this place.
Who the hell is giving a rating below 4.4 (the average)??

Very long wait in between courses, for hit-or-miss dishes. Beautiful decor and servers were very helpful.
Dined here after my wedding ceremony with some friends last month and I couldn't have asked for a better dining experience.
I had booked a reservation in the main dining room a month in advance (after being told the private room was booked on the same night). It ended up working out well as my friends and I enjoyed ourselves in the main room - we loved the ambiance and the live music playing a few feet away (played by a pianist and trumpeter). Food and drinks were delicious and the service was great - hostess/servers were very attentive and it really made the night all the more special.
I will definitely return.

Overall the food at Woods is wonderful. I had the watermelon salad and the squash ravioli. My dining companions thoroughly enjoyed the elk - a specialty of the restaurant that focuses on Canadian themes in its cuisine. The staff was very attentive and kept our glasses topped up. The only issue we encountered was how long it took for our meals to arrive. We were a very large party, so completely understand this can cause a strain on service, however main courses took over 2 hours to arrive. I would go back Woods in the future but I don't necessarily recommend for large group dinners.
