The New Woodshed Reviews

Mskelt · 06-25-2016, 01:26 PM

Just like everyone else I was devastated when the Woodshed fire occurred. Thankfully The New Woodshed has opened again and last night we gave it a try. We had a 6:30 reservation and were seated promptly at a great table in the main room. We marveled at the "old" barn that was relocated and became part of this Moultonboro icon. We all loved the decor and marveled at the fireplace in the center of the room. Every server, hostess and manager had a smile on their face and greeted everyone making them feel at home. One kind young waiter let me peek out on the porch and I was thrilled to see all the college and school banners on the walls! Just like old times but fresher and more comfortable than the old porch.
The food was delicious. We all ordered salads and an entree. It was nice to see a salad special, Greek with heirloom tomatoes! Our roasted duck was perfectly done, another member of our group had the pork chop with homemade applesauce and declared it the best meal in a long time!
I have been following the posts on this thread for some time.
It seems that it may have taken a few weeks to iron out the kinks but I have nothing but great things to say about the Woodshed. I wish them the best of luck and look forward to more visits.

Guess I will have to make a visit to get the proper gauge of the place. Most all the reviews on this board have been positive but speaking with a few people who have the New York city restaurant experience stated that it was overall terrible in both food and service. So who to believe. best to try it oneself. Restaurants are very subjective. Been living in NH 25 years and have yet to locate a decent hard roll, Chinese restaurant and only one real pizza place. But then coming from a metropolitan area into a rural area one must make great food sacrifices.

We don't value the opinion of New Yorkers up here in Red Sox, Bruins, patriots country. Haha

I kid, maybe not.

How come you left out the Celtics? Do you know what the Red Sox have in common with lawn furniture? After Labor Day they both fold up and go into the basement. I kid, but maybe not.

By any chance are you a cook?

Why would your New York City dishwasher friends evaluate the restaurant so differently from everybody else on this forum?

I'm a little confused. Are all of the local posters here all dishwashers at local restaurants?

Would your question read better if it were phrased thusly?:

They'd know what entrees were left behind.

I have not been yet either but my barber tells me that there's been nothing but negatives about service quality and price. it seems that most of the posts on this board are favorable toward restaurants on that side of the lake. No matter what technology brings us I don't think the credibility of the barbershop will ever go away.

Billy Bob · 06-27-2016, 11:06 PM

4 of us went last week.
First , stop with the nostalgia , this is a new establishment in the locacation of a spot that burned to the ground. It's a new business.
The barn came out fantastic , the builder is an artist . The garden also came out great. The bar area is nothing special at all.
The service issues seem to have been addressed , nice people , knowledgable , and now no long gaps between order and delivery . they seem to be accomplishing this by limiting the number of reservations they take . Good idea.
Now the food , the salads and apps were ok , the duck was dry and over cooked , the prime rib also dry , overcooked and lacked flavor , very expensive and disappointing . The food at the a Bob house is better at a third the cost .
Most of the neighbors that have gone have also been disappointed with the food . Needs work .

Old Hubbard Rd · 06-28-2016, 07:27 AM

We had a party of 5. We were all pretty excited to get back to the Woodshed. Upon arrival the exterior looked beautiful! The entry area is missing the old charm and the bell that was attached to the front door that would ring with your arrival or departure. The entry and bar has no charm. The dining room really reminded me of the old Woodshed. They did a great job with the dining room!! The prices are way high. They had run out of Prime Rib. Dinners were just ok. Service was very slow. I'm a sucker for atmosphere so I will be back for special occasions only.

donnamatrix · 06-30-2016, 08:43 PM

6-30-16. Had 6pm reservation. Seated and waited 75 minutes for salad. Lobster so overdone, really inedible. We spoke to owner who basically did nothing. We will not return. Prices high, all meals mediocre.

phoenix · 06-30-2016, 09:05 PM

Wife and I went tonight. First the place is incredible . Very great atmosphere. We both had haddock which was $ 24 which did not include a salad . The food was very good but if I want to discount the price I would chose the haddock at the Bob for $16 . Or at 1$10 the Friday haddock at the kitchen . The service was good but the time between when the salad came and main meal was a little long. One very positive was the wines by the glass vs a bottle was very good that is a glass at $9 and bottle at $23. I will likely go again but will go more often to the Bob and Kitchen.

You should probably just stick with Piccolo then...

I haven't been to the New Woodshed yet so I can't comment on the food. However, I have seen many pictures of the building and therefore I able to comment on "prices". The higher price point is a reflection of the spectacular building and the wonderful dining atmosphere. Everyone needs to make individual decisions but I am willing to pay 15-20% more for a great atmosphere which Mr Haynes has delivered. His investment in the New Woodshed is also a significant investment in our local community which people should be thankful for. I have an upcoming reservation and look forward to what I'm sure will be an excellent experience.

donnamatrix · 07-01-2016, 08:19 AM

I agree the haddock at the Bobhouse is incredible, much better than Woodshed. We really love Nolan's in Wolfeboro. Plus the much vaunted prime rib was mediocre as well.

phoenix · 07-01-2016, 09:05 AM

Donna i truly do miss the haddock at Kevin's

donnamatrix · 07-01-2016, 12:22 PM

I totally agree, Phoenix, Kevin's Cafe was a treasure

Your review was rather harsh and "snarky" so it appears Bumble responded in kind.

Nothing "snarky" about it. You raved about Piccolo and you bashed the Woodshed. Makes complete sense to me.

We love Nolan's in Wolfeboro (and is also now in Alton Bay) But we did have the Escargot at the new Woodshed and I think it has Nolans beat!

FYI: Nolan's does serve Escargot but only by special request at time of seating as it is not an item which is listed on the menu.

We went to the New Woodshed on Sunday night @ 7:30 pm and promptly found a seat at the bar.

Ahhh ... I don't think my review of the Woodshed was harsh, it was spot on. I know many who have gone to the new restaurant and liked it alot. The escargot just got a rave review on this site.Our experience was quite unsavory. I still love Piccolo ... but wouldn't plan to dress up and eat dinner there.

I don't think your review of the Woodshed was harsh, either, just honest, based on your own experience, and same goes for both the negative and favorable reviews from other posters who have actually dined there. I've been hearing wildly varying first-hand Woodshed reviews from Wolfeboro friends and shopkeepers I chat with, too; just today on the beach, one "great" and one "don't bother" from people who went on different nights.

What this says to me is simply that the quality of the food and service at the Woodshed is not yet *reliably* good enough to warrant the price and, for those of us who aren't nearby, the trip. The "yet" means I hope it will eventually be.
And thanks to all the adventurous souls who are posting their honest reviews.

Hello everyone, lets face it how long was the original wood shed around? what? decades. how many times did they fall flat on their faces when first venturing to the lakes restaurant scene. what works? whats doesnt work?. I guess what i am saying is give them a chance, all restaurants have really awesome days along with really bad days but i always give it a couple tries. good luck, rally on wood shed.

While I also wish them the best and plan to visit when I can, a higher end restaurant has less wiggle room to "fall flat on their face" than a less "storied" restaurant might. Customers, rightly in my opinion, expect more from them. This is a "new" restaurant. It WILL have growing pains. That's forgivable. Before too long however they should resolve most of the issues and get things reliably humming along with only the occasional and minor flubs.

The "old" Woodshed had a reliability problem. When I arrived on the lake scene in 1993, it was my go to restaurant, especially with visiting guests. It was the place I could go to express the best in lake hospitality and by extension MY hospitality. I KNEW the atmosphere, service, and food would be stellar.

Then something changed. Service attitude slipped at times and food preparation was inconsistent. My soup was served cool one time and then returned scalding hot when I returned it to the kitchen. The response to the situation was either inattentive or spiteful. Neither is acceptable at such a restaurant. Period.

I do NOT judge the New Woodshed by the Old Woodshed's past. But the New Woodshed can certainly learn from the Old Woodshed's mistakes and try to avoid them. There are many good restaurants at the lake. There are only a few that you can go to and KNOW you will have a great time in all aspects. That's the goal the New Woodshed should be eagerly striving for. I wish them the best of luck.

You hit the nail on the head: pricy restaurants have less wiggle room for poor preparation and service.

For me, though, attitude matters almost as much as the food and price. Mistakes happen, I totally get that, but how an establishment handles them dictates whether I'll return or not. It sounds like TNW is doing a pretty good job with that.

I agree, mistakes happen, you can have a bad meal anywhere for any # of reasons. The over all attitude and effort counts. The best can have a bad night, if you never go back because of it you will miss out on some great meals.

Everybody has their own opinion. I personally like the meals I have had at the Woodshed, but I do not care for the pizza at Piccolo's. I think each person has their own idea of what tastes good and what does not taste good to them. Forum members will need to try the restaurants themselves and then decide if they want to return again or not.

Outdoorsman · 07-09-2016, 06:49 PM

Not that this is the case on this thread but I have had to deal with this in the past.

I have never understood ordering pizza at a restaurant that is known for steak and seafood (or vice-versa). I would never order Chinese food from a restaurant known for sandwiches, nor would I order Mexican or BBQ style food from a place that touts "fish & chips".

If you want to complain about a Fresh Lobster roll... You might not want to buy if from Wal Mart, Shaws, McDonalds or the like.

My bad if I went off topic

Well OK, you did wonder way way off topic.

JTA · 07-14-2016, 06:08 PM

Went to the New Woodshed last night. Party of nine with reservations. Service was great ... Friendliness obvious. We had a great time.
I ordered my Old Woodshed meal .. French onion soup (very good ), prime rib queen cut (took half home), a custard dessert (delicious).
Expensive? Yes ... But where else can you get that "feel"??

CAVU · 07-18-2016, 09:28 PM

I went to the woodshed a few weeks ago, it was pretty good, sat in the lounge. The only thing I will say is that it is much more expensive. When I look in parking lot I see mostly out of state plates and high end cars/trucks. When the season over and tourist are gone, I hope they don't price themselves out of the market.

Don't worry they will, just like every other restaurant in the lakes region. They seem to forget about the locals who they hope will support them in the off season.

I don't think my review of the Woodshed was harsh, it was spot on. I know many who have gone to the new restaurant and liked it alot. The escargot just got a rave review on this site.Our experience was quite unsavory. I still love Piccolo ... but wouldn't plan to dress up and eat dinner there.

I guess what i am saying is give them a chance, all restaurants have really awesome days along with really bad days but i always give it a couple tries. good luck, rally on wood shed.

I have never understood ordering pizza at a restaurant that is known for steak and seafood (or vice-versa). I would never order Chinese food from a restaurant known for sandwiches, nor would I order Mexican or BBQ style food from a place that touts "fish & chips". If you want to complain about a Fresh Lobster roll... You might not want to buy if from Wal Mart, Shaws, McDonalds or the like. My bad if I went off topic

Service was great ... Friendliness obvious. We had a great time. I ordered my Old Woodshed meal .. French onion soup (very good ), prime rib queen cut (took half home), a custard dessert (delicious). Expensive? Yes ... But where else can you get that "feel"??

The only thing I will say is that it is much more expensive. When I look in parking lot I see mostly out of state plates and high end cars/trucks. When the season over and tourist are gone, I hope they don't price themselves out of the market.
