Tasty hidden gem! Great drinks, amazing dishes. Very good sized portions, so you can enjoy the menu from appetizer to dessert, and they are all worth it. Loved the intimate, yet lively atmosphere. Very good, fast service as well. Just make a reservation in advance, as tables as limited. When they are fully booked, they accept walk-ins at the bar as well. We appreciated the drinks on the house and coat service as well. Will be back.

4.0/5Their signature dish, the Seared Ontario Elk was certainly worth the visit. The elk was cooked to perfection and the sides that consisted of tortellini, oyster mushrooms, berry sauce and parsnip purée were such a great combination of flavours. Wow.The appetizers we ordered (the beef carpaccio and elk tartare) were underwhelming. They seemed to lack salt and flavour in general… I would not order these again.The server was pleasant, although she kept referring to each of us as “my dear” which I didn’t find too tasteful. The live music was lovely, but the trumpet player was much too loud. We had to pause our conversation whenever he came into the main dining area.Overall, a good experience! I would return for the Seared Elk as I found that quite unique.

Incredible experience at Woods! Definitely going back. The staff were all very attentive - very quick to clear plates, reset cutlery, and fill water glasses. Robin, the owner, is pure class, very friendly but also can read the room. Great place for a date nice. There was a nice place to put our coats at the entrance and the server helped me put on my coat at the end of the night. Food was delightful - I had the duck breast, and it was taste bud heaven. The deconstructed smore for dessert is also a must try, the golden marshmallow painted at the bottom of the plate is to die for

For the amount we paid we were pretty disappointed with the food. The vibe and decorations however were great.The food portions were small. The scallop appetizer was 29$ and only came with two small medallions. They also ran out of the watermelon salad which we were hoping to try.I had the lamb, which came out cold and didn't have much flavour. My partner's meal came out cold as well. The ragu looked good.It was unfortunate because we were really looking forward to this experience. The best part was probably the fried doughnuts and the service.

My fiance and I had an absolutely wonderful time here. The food was presented and tasted great.The service was very attentive and quick to clear plates, take orders, exc.. . They gave us great breakdowns of the items and food came out in a timely manner. Cocktails were very well done. Would recommend the espresso martini, it goes great with the woods s'mores (modern unique presentation)The interior is magical and warm, classy vibes perfect for a little weekend date. Live music was played and set a relaxing mood for dinner.Exactly what we wanted from a farm to table experience!

My wife and I went here for our anniversary and loved it. The food was terrific with balanced portions that don't leave you feeling like you overdid it after a starter, main and dessert. The service was very attentive and friendly without feeling intrusive. And it was nice to not feel rushed. The atmosphere was really lovely with live piano and just the right lighting for ambiance. The feels like a real hidden gem in Toronto. We will definitely be recommending this restaurant to others, and look forward to returning ourselves.

Lovely spot for dinner. Beautiful ambience. Piano player was wonderful. Fabulous selections on the menu. The foie gras was tasty but the Wild Boar Ribs were the best! So tender and delicious! We had the deconstructed s’more for dessert. Everything was wonderful. Lovely date night!

I was a member of a group of 7 that ate at Woods for dinner. We had a reservation for 7:30, were seated promptly, and the wait staff was very nice and gracious. The atmosphere was wonderful and the live pianist was great to listen to, however we did take a few issues to our experience as a whole. The wait time was a bit long for our entrees. Our starters had arrived within 15min of ordering, but our entrees took much longer. We ended up waiting around 90min before the entrees were all served. Granted everyone's orders were served all at once, but we felt the wait to be too long without any communication from our servers.The food itself was great, but due to the timing of all the food coming out, we found one of the dishes to be room temperature and not hot as we expected. This was disappointing.Overall it was a good experience though.

It's very rare that I give a restaurant 5 stars in all 3 categories, but Wood's definitely deserves it. The food was delicious and good value for money.The atmosphere was wonderful with great decor and just the right amount of buzz without being too noisy.With that said, the restaurant truly stands out because of the service. Our waiter and the supporting staff were the very definition of great service. Friendly, efficient and overall a joy to interact with. The management of Wood's deserves kudos for fostering such a great environment.

The atmosphere at this restaurant is perfect. The decor is relaxing and cozy. The service and food were absolutely amazing. Ordered the green salad and scallops to start which were good and the portions were just right for an app. The Duck breast was tender and flavorful. The steak was cooked to perfection. Although the sugar donuts were warm and delicious, I wish the dipping sauce was a bit more thick like a chocolate syrup.
