Such an amazing experience…read more Starting off with the restaurant itself, such a beautifully curated spot that is unlike anything rockford has to offer. Every detail a work of art. We really enjoy the bar area and its ambiance but hope to also experience the dining room as well. We started off with the Dip of the day which was a Miso Ranch dip served with fresh made tortilla chips. This was phenomenal and my only complaint is there wasn't more! We also both ordered a drink off of their happy hour menu. I ordered the old Fashioned and my wife ordered their margarita. Both were excellent. I also ordered the VIEUX CARRÉ based on our Server's recommendation and thoroughly enjoyed that. Such knowledgeable staff makes a big difference. For our main course, I got their Mushroom Pot Pie and my wife ordered the Ora King Salmon. Both dishes blew us away. Neither of us expected to be so full after our meals, their serving sizes were very generous! I wanted to highlight the mushroom pot pie, as a vegetarian, Fine dining usually does not cater to vegetarians. So having options at a place this nice was such a welcomed surprise. The greens included with the Pot Pie really stole the show, The most perfectly cooked and seasoned greens I have ever had. Chef Nick Risseeuw came over and checked on how we were doing and after hearing me rave about his pot pie offered two of his desserts on the house. We got a pistachio orange dessert and a Malt ball ice cream that was his interpretation of whopper candy as an ice cream. Both were DIVINE! Thank you again Nick for your generosity, it was a perfect way to end a perfect meal. I also wanted to highlight the staff as they played an essential role in our unbelievable experience. Everyone was so friendly, attentive, and prompt. We will definitely return soon and cannot wait to see what is in store for their upcoming menu

The Prosecco by glass was good, but I wanted a little something more. The tequila and whiskey/bourbon selection is vast for a wine bar, I was wildly impressed considering I'm not actually a wine drinker. The flatbreads are huge and the charcuterie board was fantastic!

I love that they have N/A bevs inspired by the alcoholic ones like spritz and mules - the huckleberry mule was fantastic. My girlfriends and I shared the charcuterie board and bruschetta - they have a smaller charcuterie board as well but the one we got was perfect for a group of 4. The bruschetta came with 3. Can't wait to come back to try other dishes (meatball, pizza, etc!).

The only disappointment was overhearing members of the waitstaff speaking negatively about customers to the hostess. The conversation was loud enough that I could clearly hear it while sitting on the outdoor patio. While I understand that every job has its challenging moments, those conversations are best kept out of earshot of guests, as they can detract from an otherwise enjoyable experience. Aside from that, our visit was enjoyable, and that's the one area I would recommend improving.

I was staying at Hotel Goodwin for a night as I was in town traveling for my partner's job. We…read moredecided to try the restaurant downstairs, Velvet Buffalo, since we had already tried the restaurant Merrill and Houston's Steak Joint across the street (which we absolutely loved and I did a review on that restaurant as well). We ordered burrata appetizer, which I forgot to take a photo of since we were so hungry, while he ordered the farmer's trio for himself and I ordered the Short Rib for myself. Burrata and the table bread are actually fantastic. The entrees we received are very generous portions which makes it good value for the money, but at the same time, it was very heavy and a little too rich in flavor. Presentation was already great. Halfway through dinner, I was really debating between 3 or 4 stars. Because of all the positives, I was going to give it 4 stars even though the food didn't really impress me that much. Desert unfortunately tipped that scale to 3 stars. We ordered Tiramisu. It was the saddest looking tiramisu. We could tell the bottom was watery and soggy. The cake part was dried out. It does look like either it was too old or it was refrigeration issues. We took a bite regardless to be sure and we could tell by the taste that it was an older cake. As someone who's been in the restaurant industry for 30+ years, that actually could be a health violation. We did send it back and they said they'd bring a new freshly made one... which I declined. They should have done that first rather than offering that after the fact. However, the service is great overall. Just could use some work on certain things. And regardless of the restaurant, the hotel is actually very nice. If I was to be back in the area again, I'd stay at this hotel again but eat at the steak joint across the street at Ironworks hotel instead.

My Manhattan was perfect, as was my husband's Old Fashioned. And my Italian sub was so good I was craving it again two days later. My husband also enjoyed his club. The only problem was, we live an hour away so I couldn't just jump in the car and go pick up an their sub whenever I wanted one. Our server and the owner were both great, the restaurant was spotless, they let us linger, and we truly had the best time. If only there was one closer to us! But this is the kind of place we'd drive out of our way to visit, so I'm guessing we'll be back up in Woodstock to visit them again one of these days!
