What a pleasant surprise, and certainly not what I expected…read more As someone who doesn't want to eat at restaurants much these days, this experience was a bit of a game changer and reminded me of how a restaurant can offer something special. First the server: Devon was great. Attentive, in control of the group table, attentive throughout the evening and just made everything better. Even special requests were handled well, with a smile and getting them right. The menu is eclectic and interesting. From farro island salmon to elk to the (huge) duck breast I had for dinner. While Sandra had the elk chops that may have been a bit over done, when you consider you have to serve a large number of folks their individual choices at the same time I can cut some slack on that one. All in all, a winner in a beach town where quite honestly I didn't expect a restaurant of this quality, breadth and service. Well worth a visit!

I had the seafood pot pie, an excellent choice in St. Simons, which is surrounded by water. And the pie was delicious. If the service had been a little better, I would have given this restaurant a five. But, they were short-staffed and training additional servers. And they forgot to place our friend's entree order, or they gave it to someone else. She loved her crab salad appetizer , but had to do with a bite from our entrees. But, don't forego this restaurant because they had one bad night. Food is delicious!

EXCELLENT EXPERIENCE! Been searching for a decent brunch in…read morethe area and my wife suggested Woodside. My experience is that many places just don't deliver the quality expected and I'm often disappointed. I'll have to say, Woodside delivered! This place is clearly elevated, elegant, and the food is prepared with culinary skill. From the moment we stepped inside, I could tell the atmosphere was classy and quaint. We were greeted by our server Buddy and the bartender. My instincts were that this was going to be good. I was still cautious. Buddy seated us appropriately and brought us menus and filtered water. We both started with coffee and to my surprise Buddy brought a large urn of French press coffee, whole cream and sugar cubes, I absolutely love French Press coffee but rarely see it. I make it at home but on occasion see it offered in a restaurant. Definitely a step above. We looked at the brunch menu and found it hard to decide as there were so many interesting selections that I wanted to try. My wife ordered the Eggs Benedict and I ordered the Croque Madame. As I deliberated, Buddy suggested that I'd stick with my first impression and that I would not be disappointed. I thought it was very classy the way he presented that and it makes sense that sometimes one should go with their first instinct, rather than wonder if they made the right choice later. Again, there were just so many things I wanted to try. When our meals came out, we were both pleasantly surprised at the quality and taste. This was not ordinary breakfast, but I had a good price point for what you get. It was really about the same cost as most breakfast places on the island, but such higher quality and sophistication. I can honestly say this was the best brunch experience I've had in many years and we've frequent a lot of places. The Croque was so tasty, complex and abundant and even the french fries were excellent. My wife's Benedict was also very special as it was rich, fresh, and absolutely clear it was prepared by a chef. The Latkas were a tasty complement. Overall, this was an outstanding experience and I just didn't want to leave. I can't wait to return for dinner to experience it. I believe the menu changes daily and I would definitely recommend Woodside as an elevated dining experience. I am happy to rate this a true 5.0 as it is the best food I've had in the Brunswick/SSI area over the past 6 months. Buddy was great and clearly understands service etiquette. Thanks so much for helping us enjoy a truly nice experience.

But the blackened shrimp are tiny and not very flavorful (a real tragedy in coastal Georgia), the cheese grits barely a step above diner grits, and my friend's "rare" burger was wildly overcooked. Adding insult to injury, the key lime pie was drizzled with caramel. Who does that? Overall, while you could do worse on the island, you could also do a lot better. Won't be returning here unless it's just for a beer and the nachos.
