Erik says he will be open in the spring... that is from late March to late June, then it is summer.

In the meantime, we can sit back and enjoy other fine dining in the area, and if a for sale sign pops up, then we can talk some about it.

In the meantime, let it go.

Sounds good to me!

Would everyone please calm down! :-)
I know everyone likes throwing my name around since I made that dreaded "foot in mouth" post some 10 months ago,, but since 99% of you have never met, nor spoken with me directly, I would like to offer some info on this recent thread and then I will drift back into obscurity...

1. I only had a 10% interest in WT.
2. My (personally ) only post regarding the closing for the winter was on 16 Nov.
3. My (personally ) last post was at thanksgiving, concerning the power outage due to the storm. I removed myself from FB ADMIN role at that time (about the 26th nov)
4 Any posts or comments regarding a time frame for reopening, come from the major investors of the WT, not me.
5 Many establishments close for the winter due to the downturn in area population. We all know how insanely tough it can get around here.. ask any businessman!!!
6 I would like to see the WT reopen as well, however, I will not be at the helm of the kitchen and will not make any speculation as to a timetable for reopening.

I hope this gives some clarity to all your concerns. In the mean time, enjoy the winter, and I hope everyone has a wonderful Christmas & New Year!! Life's to short to sweat the little things!!

Thanks for the info Eric. It is helpful. I enjoyed the food on both of my visits to the WT when you ran the kitchen.

Based on what Eric has posted, the majority owners have control of the Facebook page and since they took control, they have twice posted on that page that they are coming back in the spring. The sign out front also states this. Based on what Eric has stated, he will no longer be running the kitchen, so the owners need to find someone to take this on. Eric also stated he is or was a 10% owner.

No where have I heard or read from any owner or on the WT Facebook page that the place is closing. Hard for me to draw the conclusion that the WT is closing from what has been presented. For those that feel they are closing, how do you get to that conclusion? Not trying to start an argument, just trying to understand.

For the record, I am holding a gift certificate and that is why I am interested in this.

Driving by Woodlands Tavern several times a week, I have not seen any signs of repairs or construction going on. Sign is still up saying closed for the season, but their website is no longer on line.

Being a month of so from when many "seasonal" restaurants open back up for business after taking the winter off, I am curious if anyone has heard anything new about the restaurant re-opening. Haven't seen any help wanted signs or ads, either.

So what do you think now? It's almost April. No signs of life.

Just saw a Facebook posting by the owner Renee within the past half hour....They are not reopening for business. Sorry, Resident2B about the gift certificate. I hope there aren't too many of them out there.

[Resident 2B]

I hope they did not sell a lot of the gift certificates knowing they were not going to reopen. One of the posters on this site had info that they were not reopening, but I did not believe him because the website said they would reopen. I should have listened to the poster, not their website.

I am hoping they contact me. If not, I will contact the AG's office. Sounds to me after re-reading the posts that the owners' where selling gift certificates knowing they were about to close for good, but saying they were going to reopen.

Here is an answer he replied after somebody asked about the GC's.

Brenda - we had a company that tracked the gc sales for us. I will have to try and contact them to see if they have the information for what there is for outstanding balances. I will get back to you when I have that info.

[Resident 2B]

We used a credit card to purchase the GCs and I will contact them for a refund. Looks to me to be the best route.

I know the owners on a personal basis and can assure you that they wouldn't knowingly deceive people to get ahead, financially or otherwise. I was planning on posting up the news today but others beat me to the punch--with any luck another investor will buy it up quickly and take all of the hard work they have poured into improving the building and grounds and continue it. I think it's a shame they are letting it go.

I respectfully disagree with your assessment of them. People that do what they did are far from honorable. When three others on this site knew it was all over five months before they admitted it, tells me they were not being honest at all. They should have stopped selling the GC and/or made a timely refund late last fall. Now we have to chase them through our credit card company. Great friends!

I hope no one buys it and they lose their shirts. No way the way they did what they did is acceptable.
