Best mussels in town! Always a great meal. Can be noisy - sit along the windows in winter for best conversation. We love the patio when available. On our recent visit we needed to retrieve our car since the valet was serving two restaurants and overwelled.

The ambience at L Woods is old-school relaxed, fun and down-home. Service was very good. It was our 38th wedding anniversary and the waiter surprised us with a delicious dessert. Delicious cocktails, salads, steak and seafood. Exactly what we were looking for at a reasonable price.

Everything was great we were seated right away, our server was on top of his game. And we went with the turkey special for Thanksgiving and it did not disappoint. The turkey was an ample amount, mashed potatoes and stuffing were phenomenal in the pie at the end was a large piece. The server was amazing very attentive and constantly checking on us. The restaurant is a little pricey but well worth it.

It was our first time on Thanksgiving Day, loved it. My friends and I meet up on the day of Thanksgiving for lunch every year and the restaurant we used to go to closed down. We’ve been trying to find a new place and we decided this is the place to go every year now! Loved their Thanksgiving menu and it was delicious!!
