Woodstock Public House - Paradise

Having been born in the 1940s I was not uncomfortable in Woodstock Colonial's dining room tonight. Those of a later vintage might have been. It's a place out of the 70's with a classical menu and dated facility. However, the food was pretty good, including vegetables that were not over cooked. The kitchen was slow and the wine selections very limited. The clientele were predominantly regulars.

2 hours 20 mi from the time we entered the restaurant till food arrived! The kitchen needs work . And btw the oysters are not served dry. Poorly trained staff and kitchen

I had my first experience at the Woodstock Colonial Restaurant on Saturday evening with family. I remember driving by this place as a child driving from around the bay to St Johns and always thought it look real nice, so decided to take family on one of my trips home at Easter. The food was good, ambiance was very good, the service was very good however the price is way too high. Rumour has it that it's under new ownership and the food quality was very good rather than just good at one time. The Cod Au Gratin was not tasty, the fried cod had a horrible taste as if it were freezer burnt, the bread was like bulk style processed bread and the special Stuffed cod was extremely dry and had a similar taste as the pan fried cod. First and last visit.

Over priced menu....limited wine selection....poor service.....really nice music with live performer.

My parents love this place. I wasn't too keen on going at first, but I did. I was the youngest person by a good 20 years. And lemme tell you, we're missing out. The food is really good! It's fresh, the servers are very polite and friendly. They have a variety on the menu. Ever since it came under new management I think it's really improved. I had a soup of the day that was a butternut squash soup and I swear it warmed my soul it was that good. It has a somewhat fancy, but peaceful atmosphere, I quite enjoy it there.
