| - I wanted to go to Woodlot when it first opened, but at the time there was a 2 week reservation waitlist with the recommendation of not walking-in. I left my name and number on their voicemail, and never heard back from them.
I took a chance walking in last year on St. Patties day and there was a 40 minute wait for two at the communal table. Much better than 2 weeks. The hostess was nice enough to take my cell number and would call me when a spot came up so that we could get a drink at a nearby bar, as their bar was full. Most restaurants have policies strictly against calling waitlisted customers, so points for that.
The communal table wasn't disgustingly crowded or impeding on personal space. Its located right near the wood stove, which made the communal seating more appealing, even though the cooks yell "HANDS!!!!" every time a dish is completed. Everyone was taking pictures of their food, as their presentation is really great.
I ordered the french onion soup and the rabbit gnocchi. Soup was ok, the rabbit was perfectly tender and juicy, and the gnocchi was big and plump - they assured me the appetizer size would be enough, probably because I look like I weigh 90 pounds, but I could have gone for the larger portion as the app sizes are not that generous.
Our order was forgotten about and took over an hour to come, we told the server, whom was very apologetic and brought us a dessert platter on the house, of which everything was, again very pretty, and enjoyable.
