This will be one of my new go to spots in the morning. Great food and service. My bartender Tisha was very warm and welcoming. Also she kept me with a warm cup of coffee ☕ and cold glass of ice water. The home fries was made perfect along with everything else. I loved the banana pudding pancakes 🥞. They are a must try. I'll be back to try the cinnamon pancakes or peach cobbler waffles 🧇 😋...

Oh my goodness!!! It’s hard to even know where to begin, this place is a whole vibe. From the moment we walked in they had good music playing through their fantastic sound system, and after finding a seat we were greeted with waters. Our server was incredible. She was incredibly attentive, super friendly, and when she found out it was my friends bday she went above and beyond for us with Cinnamon Toast Crunch shots, champagne for the bday girl, and a special bday goodie bag. We were blown away by her kindness to make it extra special for our girl!! As far as the food, it was out of this world. I had a skillet with the Cajun home fries, chicken sausage, spinach and feta and absolutely fell in love. The portions were huge and so filling. We also ordered banana pudding pancakes to share and they were melt in your mouth dreamy. Everyone was thrilled with our service, our food, and the general atmosphere. We are from out of town, so we are so grateful to know where to go next time we are in the area. Found our new brunch spot for sure!! Shoutout, you guys are the best! Definitely stop in and see for yourself, I’m looking forward to going back for dinner but also more breakfast as well 🤩

The food was good, they give you good portion sizes. The staff was friendly. The music was a little too loud for my taste,however it appeared that someone was having a party there when I went so that may be why the music was so loud. But other than that, the wait time for the food wasn't too bad, everything was clean and neat. It's a pretty nice size venue with dine in seating and a dance floor. I plan on going back if for no other reason the fried green tomatoes were delicious, I have to try those again. Lol

It's all good vibes. Good food and atmosphere. Upscale quality of food and portions are just right.

Who knew that you could find this in Highland Park. The level of customer service, the atmosphere was fabulous! Friendly, smiling and accommodating. The bar was well stocked! All of that but nothing compared to the food! Chef Desmond is a well kept secret! OMG! The spinach dip was something more than I could have ever imanaged. The seafood pasta was great. It was great! I cannot say enough great things about this spot. This was my third time here and rhe service has been consistent each time. Great job Woodward Bistro.

I went here to try a new restaurant. The food was good. The location is nice. At the time that I went, there were no customers and only 1 server and one cook. The food took a while to come out for us (party of 2) to be the only people there, but it wasnt too long. My issues was the server barely came to our table. Upon arrival we were given our choice of drinks. We didn't get serviced again until the food was brought out. The waitress was not out front so it wasnt very easy to get her attention. They also had a VERY limited menu. Before I arrived I looked at the menu online and was surprised once I got there that they only had maybe 7 things to choose from. That was pretty disappointing..... Only other thing, they were having issues with their audio/music. Seemed like someones phone was playing music but it kept stopping and the entire building would be completely silent until the speaks played a very loud low pitched sound until someone came to turn it off. It made it frustrating to speak to the person next to me

Great place! Had my grandmothers 87th bday celebration🎈🎊🎉here! A wonderful time with my family and closest family friends. A very nice, clean, well put together spot!

I'll just get to it. I was there 10/27/2024. I ordered two large Sprites. Maybe 20 ounces. I went to pay the, I was gonna say the barmaid but she was slow as watching grass grow. The bar back told me they Sprites were $5.00 a piece. So I asked for the manager and it was the woman that was working the bar. I said to her, "Five bucks for a Sprite?", she says Yes. Then a woman that was at the bar trying to TRUMP-SPLAIN to me that is common, I did not think about it till I left of a business model that Costco uses. Costco loses on every chicken they sale. My point is sometimes you take a loss on things to get the draw. They will take loss on some things knowing if I get you there you will probably exceed the loss on the chicken. People say support black business, but at what cost? I understand black businesses struggle but, does anyone think I would recommend a place charging $5.00 for a 20 ounce Sprite? Not at all, I am telling patrons to be aware of hidden cost under the guise of black owned businesses and so called inflation. In a nutshell I will never go again, and will not recommend anyone else. The power of words will help them get their shit together. I am gainfully employed and believe in tipping.

The atmosphere was pleasant for my first time being there. The waitstaff and bartenders were awesome. I'll be going back for the food. Can't wait to try out some of their dishes.
