The first thing you see in the place is the old looking real wood paneling. The place looks like your Mother an Father ate here. After eating the food I think that the chef cooked for them. It's that good and wasn't their first rodeo. We came from a funeral so the times weren't the best. Now about 30 of us were in the party. This place handled it like they do it all the time and maybe they do. My food was hot when I received it and so was everyone around me. We enjoyed a fixed menu of apps, salad, entree, and dessert. The salad was crisp and fresh and the dressing was also house made. Both my steak and my wife's were cooked perfectly mine was med rare and the wife's was well. As well as the other diners. I didn't hear a complaint out of anybody in our group. The dessert was also very tasty and probably ruined my diet but oh well. It was worth it. I do have to take my hat off to the staff at Woodhaven House for making a lousy time into a delish moment in time. Thanks.
Occasionally there is an unspoken sense of true professionalism one feels when entering a new food & beverage establishment. From the first time I entered Woodhaven House to the last time I exited, that sense remains strong.
I have had the opportunity to spend many evening hours enjoying the live music of the heavy rock genre, on other evenings meeting up with a friend for some food, but it was a neighbors 50th Anniversary party I attended last week that spawned the need to write this review. A review of not a particular dish or a specific musical act, no, this is a review of an overall positive acclaim for a great local restaurant.
It dawned on me as I sat among many familiar faces of all ages, smiling, laughing, eating & drinking just how appealing the private party area was it sit within, be served and enjoy pleasurable company. It was as cozy as a living room, the service was super human given that one server handled the entire group flawlessly. The food options were basically open menu, in that you did not have a fixed meal at a fixed price which I guess is a credit to the host but played out well in practicality. Kids eating chicken fingers, adults eating steaks & chops and the elders opting for softer options.
To have such a fine establishment within a short distance from my home, no matter what brings me there is very fortunate indeed.
I went here once more, and I was rather disappointed. Beer selection was OK, but the food was rather lackluster. I had the rigatoni a la vodka, and it was bland. It tasted kind of funny, and it wasn't even all that hot. For $16, it was so NOT worth the price. I'll stick to drinks here for next time.
Nice Sunday brunch–good food, cozy atmosphere with outstanding service. For $15, I had a Bellini, eggs Benedict with roasted potatoes, and several cups of coffee. For an additional $8, I got a delicious creme brûlée. My friend and I sat for several a hours, chatting leisurely, and our waitress never once rushed us but checked to see if we needed anything and offered more coffee and water. Overall, a lovely experience.
Four stars mostly for the interior decor, the dark wood everywhere with cozy corners and fire place. Our family favorite for wings, ribs and beer. The food has gotten worse recently and portions smaller but hopefully they will try and improve
This review is for Sunday brunch. For $15 you choose an entree along with tea or coffee as well as an alcoholic beverage – they have a few to choose from and the mimosa was one of the best I've tried! They have a nice selection of entrees to satisfy any craving. I normally order french toast for brunch and these did not disappoint. My parents got the eggs benedict and crab benedict while my brother got the steak and eggs. We shared and enjoyed everything and got dessert as well. The chocolate lava cake with ice cream was amazing – we cleaned the plate. The creme brulee looked amazing but was just okay. The consistency was off, it was too watery/not firm enough.
Overall, we had a great experience. Our waitress was kind and adorable with a heavy Irish accent. She was very welcoming and didn't rush us despite the restaurant being very crowded. With the excellent price and service, I'll definitely be back here again.
Woodhaven house is a pub-like spot that posses a distinct old world Queens charm that you'll find in this area. I'm talking about a beautiful facade, ornate old wood interior with intricate glass and a beautiful bar that wraps around the entire restaurant in the center, making a flowing C shape.
We sat in the restaurant section which was slightly quieter and more pleasant than the bar. I was surprised to see a kale salad on the menu — thinking a place like this would stick to more classic and homey dishes (like the french onion soup that all 5 of my dinning companions got) but I was happy to take the dive, since, yunno — I've been eating everything in sight since Christmas. The salad was bright, lively with avocado and fruit. The Kale and spinach were soft and the citrus dressing wasn't overwhelming.
I haven't ordered a chicken pot pie (while out) in years, and with my new-found confidence from the kale salad I opted, and was not disappointed. When it came out, a giant flaky almost Pillsbury biscuity-crust floated on top of a giant ramekin. It was super creamy with veggies and chicken leisurely floating around on the inside. It was such an uncomplicated homey dish that hit the spot on the first snowy (really, sleety) night of December! Brrr–mmmmh!
I was unimpressed with the wine and beer selection. Judging by the other reviews I should have stuck to a stronger, mixed libation. My pinot was watery and I think the star of the beer selection was Bass ale or something. Yeah that's old men's beer, yick. One of the gals in our crowd excitedly downed two appletinis and turned a little #basic that night. Eh, its winter break, good for her.
Not bad. The restaurant is very clean and spacious. The staff is very friendly and attentive. Came here with my parents for a quick lunch. Got some pretty good sandwiches with pulled pork and cajun chicken. Prices are fair and I'll be coming back to give dinner a try one day.
