Chowhounders, is Woodlot still really good?

overrated . ive only been once back in the summer.
the service was apathetic. didnt get served our food for 45 minutes and the waiter didnt care. didnt say a thing.
i ordered a steak. it was really good, but for the price, it aint not thang.

Just had dinner there this weekend Good bread. Delicious soup and mushroom salad. I ordered the pork chop, but I ended up coveting my mum's mushroom/TVP pie after I had a taste, especially with the housemade ketchup. Interestingly enough, all vegetarian dishes were all overseasoned, whereas the meat dishes were all underseasoned (for my taste)

Dessert was meh -- gingerbread millefeuille with wine-poached pear. Great texture, but too sweet and too much buttercream.

Service ranged from friendly/accommodating to disinterested. They took a long time to serve up our mains. Two tables that ordered after us got their mains before us.

I'd go back for the soup, salad, and pie and to try the meat tourtiere and all the pastas, but the service was uneven.

I ate there a few times in December and January. And many times previous. Never anything short of wonderful - cozy, delicious, friendly. A favourite.

Agreed. Took my in-laws to dinner in February, had a great time.

They loved the whole meal, but said they could live on the onion soup and bread basket!

Had a nice starter of oysters.

The pot pie in regular and vegan form was well received.

My one minor disappointment was the desert, a semifreddo. Wasn't crazy about the texture and basically had just been hoping for their excellent bread pudding.

Agreed. The mushroom salad alone is enough for me to return.

We had an excellent meal there and loved the vibe.

If it was closer to home I'd be a regular for sure.

We eat at Woodlot on a regular basis from both the vegetarian and the regular menu. I've rarely had any service issues and I can't remember ever being disappointed with my meal. I find the staff to be very friendly and attentive. The biggest problem is that I can't always get a table when I walk in.
