Woodstock Colonial Restaurant - St John's, Newfoundland and Labrador

The clean up on the old Woodstock has added some much needed renewal to the venue without modernizing the atmosphere too much. It is a true hidden gem and it is unfortunate we don't think of this place more often because it is so close to so many people. For an ... even more special hidden gem, check out their upstairs comfy couch lounge area with live music on Friday nights! It is our go out but relax like you're home on the couch kind of date night. Such a relaxing atmosphere. Music is second to none. Read more

Exceeds expectations, it’s definitely the best dining experience that hit the mark on all points. Set a reservation and enjoy. If I could give it more stars I would. The server was polite, excellent food and the place was super cool. Built in 1927 I found out. Great decor ... and the pianist was well versed in all varieties of music. Highly recommended!

The atmosphere never disappoints and a bonus was the Christmas decorations were still up! The service and our waitress were outstanding. The food was really good. Everything was very tasty. We ordered a blueberry Margherita, a cosmo and 2 partridgeberry sours. The drinks were tasty but the sours had gelatinous bits ... floating in them that weren't pleasant. May have been unincorporated egg white? Overall a very enjoyable evening and will definitely go back. Read more

Phenomenal restaurant and tavern without having to head into St. John's. Located in Paradise, this historic place has been open since the 1920's and public houses like this are a corner stone of the old world culture where every day ended at places like this. Includes a tea room, as ... well as a tavern up stairs with low ceilings and board games. The main restaurant has phenomenal plates and appetizers that are very good proportions for the cost, and so well made. Featuring special appetizers, entries and deserts as well as a killer cocktail line up. Wine selections and local brews on tap as well. The only better than the atmosphere and food is the heart warming staff. Great parking and easy to get reservations. Also have a tremendous brunch. While I have a long list of my favorite places to eat, this is by far my favorite. The balance between cost, atmosphere and food is what makes it worth it. Must see. Read more
