Woodward Bistro — Restaurant in Highland Park

5/15/24 We have been coming to Woodward bistro for a little over six months. We mainly come for breakfast/brunch. I usually get the skillet breakfast or the chicken and waffles. Both dishes are extremely delicious and the portions very ample. The server, I believe her name Cash is always very attentive and cordial. My major complaint is that it takes forever to get your food. I believe there is only one chef and 1 server. Thet appear to have alot if take out orders. This time we waited forever, but was told in advance it would take some time for our food to get to us because of the takeout orders. Adding to the long, wait the consistency of the food and service was way off. We were the only sitdown patrons there. Coffee was offered an ordered. It had been sitting out for a minute.and want fresh or good. My skillet, Breakfast which I chose bacon for my protein was lacking. They didn’t have mushrooms, ( which I was told prior too) and the bacon was skimpy, and limp I had to search for it because I hardly saw any. I had to ask for my toast which was cold when I did get it. My friend ordered the Classic breakfast. Her protein was bacon again. It was not crispy and very limp. She had to ask for jelly. The service and the food was not up to par this time. I even got a drink from the bar.! I know restaurants have off days and this was one of them. But it Should not have been for a $35 breakfast. I usually rave about The Woodrow Bistro. It’s right in our neighborhood. It’s convenient and we try to support small businesses in the neighborhood. We’re gonna give it a break for a while and go back to it in a couple of months. We’re hoping the good service and excellent food will be back. I still encourage people...

This place is EVERYTHING!

We popped in last minute on a Sunday morning after leaving an Airbnb nearby. Right from the beginning the atmosphere was on point with great music through an even better sound system! We were greeted right away with warm welcomes as if we were regulars. Our waitress was amazing and attentive- and upon learning it was my bday she went ABOVE AND BEYOND with captain crunch shots that were amazing, a glass of champagne, and a birthday goody bag! I couldn’t believe it.

When our food came out, the ladies who prepared it came out too and told us all about what our dishes included, and we had a great convo! We learned that during the day it’s all woman ran (which we LOVE) and let me tell you- the food was INCREDIBLE! They really threw down. I ordered an omelette with vegan sausage, onion and peppers w/ cheddar and home fries on the side. The portion size was are and the food was absolutely to die for! For breakfast dessert we had the banana pudding pancakes and EVERYONE got in for bites as it was incredible and melted in your mouth with amazing, fresh flavor! You could tell the love these ladies poured into the food!

All in all- I will be coming back to the city even if it’s JUST TO GO TO WOODWARD BISTRO! This place is a MUST...

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...
