   Tried the Haibut and braised pork shank. Both were great. Our server was also great!

   Our server tried his hardest but the restaurant was severely understaffed. Dinner took well over 2 hours. The restaurant ran out of bread and when the filets finally came they were very tough. The restaurant is overpriced for the food received.

   The food is high quality, the chefs preparing it, not so much. Prime steak can only go so far when a chef doesn't season it or cook it to the requested temp. If a customer asks for medium-rare, sending out medium-well is a problem. Overcooked and still came out cold. The other guest's food (crab crusted halibut) was still hot and tasted very well prepared. Cocktails were good and servers were attentive and polite. I read they want business casual as the dress code but seeing some people in tshirts and athletic shorts kind of ruined the feel of an upscale restaurant. I would recommend Woodburys for lunch but avoid it for dinner as it is very pricey and just not worth it in my opinion.

   What a beautiful restaurant in the Warrior Hotel! Beautiful design & decor, and an elevated menu! We celebrated my husband’s birthday & were delighted with our evening! We started with sweet corn beignets - AMAZING! M husband had the 30 day dry aged strip & I had the crab crusted halibut. Our dinners were incredible (& we enjoy eating out when we travel, so we are sincere in our compliments)! Our server was attentive & knowledgeable - an all around fantastic experience!!

   Woodburys never disappoints. Halibut was cooked to perfection. NY strip was slightly past rare but it was close enough. Service is always phenomenal here. “Come as you are” no dress code allows you to experience some of Sioux city’s finest dining with little barrier to entry.

   We were staying at the hotel and decided to have dinner at Woodbury’s. The Wedge salad was good, not exceptional. The 8oz Filet melted in my mouth, delicious! The Ribeye was just okay, had better other places. Felt is was cooked a bit longer than preferred. The mushrooms were sautéed in butter and garlic, yum! The green beans and Brussels, great! The creamed corn was average at best. We enjoyed our meal, our server, Mason, was excellent. Overall a solid experience!

    If you ever reserve a table on Open Table, make sure you check, double check and triple check the reservation. This is the third time I have made a reservation and shown up to a staff that has no idea we were coming. This event was particularly important to my family, so I called twice to confirm. When we arrived, the hostess said she had no idea they had our reservation and kept asking for a manager to help her handle it. They didn’t even have the kitchen equipment up and running! This was at 12:45 in the afternoon! So, she shows us to our private dining room, which was nice, and she ended up being our server. Her name was Evelyn and she did a great job. There were several items that were not available on their lunch menu, and to top it off, she had to come back to tell us they ran out of some items we ordered after hearing the pared down offerings. I want SO MUCH for this restaurant to be a success, but my goodness- for the money, they HAVE to step up their game. I was embarrassed yet again in front of our guests, and that is completely unacceptable. However, Evelyn was a great server. She was just hampered by a badly run restaurant.
