You can’t do this in real life. That’s what makes the show a comedy.
I wonder how much business the Woodshed lost because of this man?

I can tell you that we easily spent over $5K a year there until my brother was mistreated 3 years ago.

Do you remember back when Lynn and Rex Seely were the owners? The food was great as well as the service. You can do both.

The Woodshed maître d' always threw off a John Alan Hill vibe to me. (He was the guy who ran Melville's above Cheers.)





Saaaaaaaaaaam!

We never went back because of the way we were treating by this man. We will give it another try this summer.

Default Food still great

Hung in there over the last few years as I had a long-term affiliation with the place. The bar room staff is first rate. The food is usually top line. Greg was part of the challenge, just like the front door men at Studio 54 in the day. Once you figured out the system, everything worked well. Give it another chance.

Same here, 3 times was enough for us. Each time was worse than the last, not better!

Have you ever seen the Seinfeld Episode, "the soup nazi"?
