“ I don’t know how this place isn’t absolutely packed every single night. The ambience is so earthy, cozy, and industrial. The drinks were delicious and the food? The food was incredible. Do yourself a favour and order the beef brisket (pic 1). Not your speed, the beef dip, also so good! I loved that it wasn’t just meat on bread! The fries were great and our server was amazing! ”

“ I’ve ventured into the Wood Tavern after attending a remembrance Day ceremony. I was hoping to find a place that I could have a decent breakfast. Thankfully, they were open, but we’re not serving alcohol until 1 PM. I sat down at the bar nonetheless because they had three big screen TVs right across from it. They do have an attached restaurant that has nice separated areas I imagine for group parties, etc. The dining room at the Norwood hotel was revamped a couple years ago, and I hadn’t been there since. I found the new look to be very inviting. And almost dare I say “ classy”. I ordered a regular two egg breakfast and a coffee. The server was very polite and efficient. The coffee was quite good. I would say somewhere between a Tim Hortons, coffee and a Starbucks coffee. (keeping in mind that this reviewer finds Starbucks coffee too strong). The breakfast portion was very generous. Four pieces of bacon (cooked as requested) two slices of well buttered toast(a pet peeve of mine is people that just smear the middle of the toast with butter. These were done as if the person making them was going to be eating them. It matters ). The eggs were cooked nicely. And the rather generous portion of hashbrowns were seasoned to perfection. All in, a very good breakfast . The server was right on top of things, but not overbearing. She refilled my coffee and brought extra cream without being asked. The only very slight issue I had was getting the bill. It was getting fairly busy by the time I was ready to go and she was occupied with other guests. I will definitely be back if for no other reason than to sample the beer they have on tap. 20 taps in all, and I was told that one of them has sangria and the rest are drafts. I could easily see watching a game here and sampling a lot of their offerings. The breakfast was expensive, but in my view well worth it. ”

“ My boyfriend had this on his list of new restaurants to try in Winnipeg. We went there this evening and we both had delicious meals. Our server (wish I got her name!) was so very helpful and shared her favorites and recommendations. Great ambiance and I definitely would recommend this place if your looking for too try something new other than your normal spots. We also shared the truffle chocolate cheesecake which was very good. ”

“ Food was excellent. Brisket was juicy and tender. Gnocchi was fresh and flavorful. Quite a variety of menu items that may change every six months. The hummus and cauliflower was not a hit for my group with the chili oil. I thought their Caesar salad was typical. Bruschetta is also nice. Very good drink menu to satisfy most. Attached to the Norwood Hotel. Service was actually pretty good. They were attentive and accommodating. Quick to respond and make recommendations. Ample seating. Can get busy. Rooms available for booking for private functions. Check it out! ”

“ We were welcomed in the lounge by Brendon and were provided to notch service and recommendations on both alcohol and appetizers. I have to talk about the exceptional service we received because it was outstanding. We also witnessed the manager help out with other many areas of the place and it was wonderful to observe. We tried three appetizers and all were good. Thank you Brendon for making our lounge experience an absolute stellar one! You were efficient, friendly, funny, knowledgeable, entertaining, professional and made us all want to return again. ”

“ Last minute hangout with my friends we decided to stop by The Wood Tavern for cocktails and desserts. The restaurant is inside the Norwood hotel if you cant find . The girls loved their cocktails and I loved their chocolate cheesecake. We didnt have meals but I saw some other tables orders and I’d love to try their food soon. ”

“ Eaten here twice now once for our wedding anniversary and once my birthday. Both times were great. The staff were super nice and the food was awesome. We also went on weeknights and it was nice and quiet. I've had the pork chop and a burger and both were really good. My husband has their ribs and the octopus and he really liked it. I recommend for an appetizer to get the arancini ”

“ Joined a friend here for a birthday dinner. The service was great. The food was so tasty and the portion is great as well. I packed to go home. I loved how the sweet potatoes fries were coated with jalapeno peppers, so it had a good blend of sweetness with spicy. Just the right amount of everything. ”
