My family and I spend summers in Great Barrington and we discovered Woodland three years ago.  We have never had a bad meal there and love the restaurant.  It is also a beautiful drive south from Great Barrington.  We always manage to take visiting family and friends to the restaurant, and get uniformly great reviews.  By the way, we have found that reservations are always a very good idea, even for lunch.

Carlos,
What is it about the Woodland that makes it always feel so right? It’s hard to put your finger on it, isn’t it? And you are so right about reservations. I have gone many times with a friend just to have a burger at the bar and been turned away because the restaurant is packed.

This quintessential neighborhood restaurant can be hard to find, which suits its loyal clientele just fine.  Theoretically, you could dine here contentedly six nights a week (it’s dark on Mondays) because the menu is extensive so there is always something you’re in the mood for: arugula-and-goat-cheese salad with crispy lardons, delicate sole almondine, and a steak sandwich served with a mound of spinach and crispy fries. And there’s sushi, too! It’s no wonder Woodland is always packed (even during snowstorms) because no place is as reliably welcoming or consistently delicious.
