Beautiful light coming in the large windows that face south. Was not too busy for Saturday brunch (maybe because it was Thanksgiving weekend), and the service was excellent. We both had the breakfast sandwich and added bacon and avocado. It was really delicious. Mine came with a kale salad that was surprisingly good and my daughter had the fruit which was very fresh. Also had the monkey bread which was a small portion - perfect since we were already stuffed.

The ambience at L Woods is old-school relaxed, fun and down-home. Service was very good. It was our 38th wedding anniversary and the waiter surprised us with a delicious dessert. Delicious cocktails, salads, steak and seafood. Exactly what we were looking for at a reasonable price.

It was our first time on Thanksgiving Day, loved it. My friends and I meet up on the day of Thanksgiving for lunch every year and the restaurant we used to go to closed down. We’ve been trying to find a new place and we decided this is the place to go every year now! Loved their Thanksgiving menu and it was delicious!!
