The Woodsman Tavern - Jennings Lodge

Slow and casual for happy hour on a Wednesday around 4:30. A good time to try some of their drafts, at $3 for an 8oz pour. I enjoyed sampling the hibiscus sour and a half dozen oysters on the half shell $16 for HH). Due to an error or miscommunication, I was served a bonus house-style egg salad sandwich as well. 20% automatic gratuity is included in the bill, which I don't think encourages outstanding customer service.

We love coming here! It’s out neighborhood spot for me and my partner. The food it top notch and changes seasonally which is refreshing and interesting for us to try new things. Their pastry chef is inventive, and they are always coming up with interesting and tasty new cocktails. Would very much recommend for a date night, and it’s always where we take our parents when they come in to town to visit! We have been for brunch too and always delicious!

My one star is for the check out. We were a 2 top on a slow Sunday evening and were charged an automatic 20% gratuity with no verbal warning. I almost double tipped because the gratuity was a line item along with the food and it looked like a normal credit card slip with a tip option. I mentioned this to the hostess on the way out and she was unapologetic and said” well, it says this on the menu!”. Who reads the fine print on a menu? And who expects an automatic gratuity on a 2 top? NOT COOL.

I love this place so much. It’s my favorite neighborhood spot. I always get the oysters, and I’ve yet to have something I didn’t like. Dianna is my favorite server, she’s a total gem. Service is always fantastic and welcoming. Thanks for being so great woodsman!

Had a late dinner tonight about an hour before closing with my partner and had such a friendly welcoming experience from start to finish and the food was delicious! We got the 3 dips, the fish and chips, as well as two cocktails and everything was delicious! Loved the general vibe of the place. The bathroom was also lovely. I loved the fact that they had a great smelling candle in it. Our server was also amazing! Definitely will be back soon!
