"Wood Tavern is the corner bistro of your dreams — that cozy, neighborhood spot you go back to again and again, knowing the food will never disappoint. A Rockridge favorite for more than a decade, the upscale yet casual American brasserie is always bustling. Simple dishes shine here, but that doesn’t mean it’s boring: the pan-roasted half chicken with with lemon-rosemary jus or the grilled double-cut pork chop, served with a marsala cream sauce, are both good choices. It’s also popular for lunch, with the Niman Ranch burger served on a La Farine baguette, as another standout on the menu." - Clara Hogan, Eater Staff
