Wood’s Restaurant & Bar offered a fantastic dining experience. This was our first time in the restaurant, and we came to celebrate my wife’s birthday. The ambiance was warm and comfortable. We were seated immediately and our server, David, provided great service. We ordered the Squash Ravioli and Elk Ragu, and both were excellent. Cocktails and wine all top notch. Excellent value for the quality and experience. We will definitely be back!

I had an amazing dining experience at El Catrin. From the moment I walked in, the ambiance was warm and inviting. Mason, our server was incredibly friendly and attentive, making sure every detail of our meal was perfect. Thank you for the beer in house draft beer suggestions. The food was absolutely delicious – everything we ordered was beautifully presented and full of flavor. I highly recommend trying the Baha Taco– it was a standout! Overall, a wonderful place for a meal, whether it’s a special occasion or just a casual outing. I’ll definitely be back soon. Thank you for the great experience!

It was great having Chef Bennet come out and introduce us to a dish. U can feel that the tasting menu is coming from Chef Bennett's Root (South Africa). The menu was very earthy and exciting from dish to dish. The Juice pairing that was offered was great as well.
