27 January 2025, I went to the Woodcroft Steakhouse after two consecutive nights of attempting to satisfy my urge for a great steak, and let me tell you, I had no idea how greatly satisfied I was going to be. With my gps guiding me, my palate was eager to be treated. When I first arrived, the outside was glamorous, and having never been there before, I had no idea which door to use to enter, which was soon to be rendered as a staff member eased y mind. Once inside, the interior spoke of nothing short but 5 Star Class, & immediately I knew that I had made the best choice. From the perfectly well done ribeye, to the smooth and creamy lobster Mac and cheese, talk about an exquisite meal. The meal started with hot, soft bread, with what appeared to be roasted peppers, cheese, and olive oil for a delectable start. My first time here and will DEFINITELY be returning when in in town.

We had our thanksgiving dinner and we all loved it! We didn't have turkey but had Filet Mignon, Chilean Sea Bass and Veal Milanese. The Staff and management are so friendly and competent. It's a pleasure dining there.

Wonderful dining experience. The space was very nicely arranged and decorated. Very friendly service. Food was great, the fruit salad was fresh and well plated. We got the cheese ravioli - which was pretty good, nothing crazy. We ended up getting a medium-cooked T-bone steak and it was delicious!!!! Also, I must recommend getting a desert because it was AMAZING. Loved the lava cake and apple crumble. 4.5/5 stars :)

Went here with a Groupon - The service was excellent - Started with complimentary appetizer - cheese, olives, eggplant etc - Very good addition ! Warm bread came which was very good - also had olive oil on the table so we could dip the bread into - Ordered the Ribeye medium - Unfortunately it came rare on the bottom and overcharred on the top - SEE ATTACHED PHOTO - The steak was very flavorful and would have been perfect if it was done correctly - Will be coming back but will tell the waiter that we want medium and not rare on the bottom and over charred on top !!

During my first visit to Woodcroft Steakhouse and Seafood, I was instantly taken by its classic, refined interior which set the stage for a delightful evening out with friends. The restaurant was bustling on a Saturday night, perfectly capturing a vibrant atmosphere conducive to engaging conversations over drinks. We kicked off the night with some unique cocktails. The Mule of Italy, a twist on the traditional Moscow Mule, was notably lighter and more refreshing--ideal for a balmy evening. In contrast, the Woodcroft Old Fashioned packed a punch, its robust flavors wonderfully setting the tone for the hearty meal ahead. The appetizer round began with fried calamari, which, unfortunately, didn't quite meet our expectations. It lacked the freshness and vibrant flavor I anticipated, which was a slight letdown as we moved on to the main courses. The entrees, however, were a significant redeeming factor. The Land & Sea--a lavish combination of steak and lobster--was impeccably delicious and lived up to its classic appeal. The 28-day Dry Aged T-Bone Steak, ordered medium rare, arrived leaning more towards medium well, but was still savory and well-seasoned. The standout of the evening was undoubtedly the Braised Short Ribs, which were among the best I've ever enjoyed, with their deep flavors and tender texture making a lasting impression. No dining experience is complete without a round of desserts and coffee, and Woodcroft excelled here. The double espresso ended up being a delightful surprise, ranking impressively among my top five ever. The house-made tiramisu was another highlight, with its exquisite texture and strong coffee flavor encapsulating the essence of this beloved dessert. My friends enjoyed the Apple Strudel and the Tartufo--an Italian treat featuring vanilla and chocolate ice cream encased in a chocolate shell--rounding off the meal on a high note. Though slightly on the pricey side, Woodcroft Steakhouse and Seafood offers an engaging ambiance, with a selection of dishes and drinks that mostly hit the mark. The overall experience and service was exceptional and enriched by its sophisticated setting and some truly exceptional dishes and drinks, ensures that this venue is reserved for those special occasions. Given its proximity to my home, it's undoubtedly a spot I'll revisit for a celebratory evening.

My boyfriend and I got together for a date night at this restaurant. I made reservations and when we arrived I parked in their private lot. We walked in and were greeted. The restaurant was super nice! The hostess sat us, and Yuri was our server/bartender. He was also the manager and was working so hard. He was great! I started with the drink of the raspberry martini, and it was good. For my meal, I got the sea scallop pappardelle, and my boyfriend got the NY Strip. When the food came out, it was pipping hot and looked great. I dug in, and it was tasty! My boyfriend enjoyed his steak and mashed potatoes! We had such a good time and experience!

Came here on a Tuesday night for a family dinner. It was relatively empty but the decor inside is really beautiful. They did a great job renovating everything. I decided on the filet of sole and it was very fresh and flavorful. My boyfriend and his mom got steak and filet mignon, they both enjoyed their meals too. The filet mignon and my sole both were served with mashed potatoes and veggies. Both well cooked and seasoned perfectly. For sides we got lobster Mac and cheese and French fries. The Mac and cheese fell a little short for me but still alright. The menu is very truffle and rosemary forward so if you enjoy those flavors you're in for a treat. Personally I can't get used to truffle oil but I know people love it. Overall a good experience, I'm sure they get crowded on weekends and it looks like valet parking is an option then. We parked in the lot with no problem but then again it was a Tuesday. Service was great, everyone was friendly, attentive and answered all our menu questions.
