the woodhouse

too bad they are not serving pizza anymore, tried other food and it was not bad. service was good. ambiance was good. a bit pricey though.

we had a lovely night at the woodhouse. great food but horrible supervisor host lady. the blonde lady who seated myself and my partner was lovely to begin.
until we heard the way she spoke to one of her waitstaff… disgusting. poor girl walked off in tears. made us very uncomfortable and awkward. after our meal we were relaxing only then to overhear herself and another wait staff gossiping as we walked past. shocking lead of example and childish. overall the food was 10/10 and drinks are always on point. would love to dine here again if the supervisor is different next time.

amazing! from ambiance, service to food quality. this is an exceptional and faultless place to be. it’s worth driving all the way to bendigo just to dine here. we chose ‘the woodhouse experience’ and was spoilt by dish after dishes of well presented, top quality foods. the wagyu steak was cooked to perfection, tender and juicy. the jus that came with it was bursting with flavour, we barely needed any other sauces to enhance our steak. one of the other highlight was one of the waiter came over and congratulated us on our wedding anniversary and poured us a glass of sparkling wine each on the house to start off the celebration. a big thank you to all the staff for making our anniversary dinner so special!

amazing locally sought produce. this is an exceptional restaurant. beautiful, warm and inviting ambiance. they have a open fire place in the middle of the room and it just sets the scene for any occasion. great wood fire pizza's and the specials board is a definite try. we had the fish of the day and it was perfectly cooked on a bed of fresh veggies. there wine range was fantastic and served by a real wine connoisseur who made some great recommendations and coupled the wines according to our choice of meals. great service, i can't wait to go again. a must when visiting bendigo.

i love dining at the woodhouse. the food is always at a high standard and the service is friendly and professional.
we are really lucky that bendigo has a restaurant like this. keep up the high quality standards.

absolutely the best restaurant in bendigo!
i’ve been here several times and never disappointed.
not to mention how lovely the staff are.
i have newborn twins they made me feel welcome even with my two newborn twins with me.

incredible food. it's clear the owner and chefs have passion in the kitchen with there selection of organic local produce along with the way it's put together. the wood fire in winter along with the crisp flavors from the wood grill make it a must visit. service is perfect and beautifully walks the line between under and over servicing. spot on.

dined here on occasions quite a many times. always a good experience with good steaks. will be back during my next visit to bendigo. looking forward to it.

the third rating of a 5 i have given in over 200 reviews, great service, great food and reasonably priced considering the ingredients used and quality service.entering off the street the first thing you see is the meat safe with beef aging before your eyes.attentive service by more then one staff member ready to refill the glass or pick up that dropped knife.the tartare served with caper berries was great as were all the dishes, rib eye, with bone marrow gravy, the side of mushroom and a lovely burger. an extensive cocktail and wine list will please.

a mothers day to remember. ok so i know i've only been a mum for a short time, but omg, this mothers day was perfect. got spoilt in the morning by my husband and little girl, then was taken to lunch at the woodhouse, where all mums recieved a complimentary sparkling rising sun which was yummy and made me feel a little special. again the meals just melted in your mouth after being cooked to perfection oh and the dessert omg, you've got to try the chocolate fudge sundae mmmmmmm more please. what a great day. great company, great food, great service and we went home feeling all warm and fuzzy, (well i did).
thank you to all the staff at the woodhouse.

mmm. over the weekend i was at the woodhouse and we were seated in their side room, i was a bit concernd to start with but with the gas heater down one end and the warm lighting it didn;t take us long to get confortable, especially with the way were looked after by the staff from the instant we arrived. again the meals were fantastic; we started with the charcuterie board, which i mostly ate, then i had the porterhouse which was cooked to perfection and finished with the tasting plate which i ended up having all to myself (had to order another one for my husband). during the evening my husband suprised me and said that he had booked our family in for mothers day lunch, i can't wait.

thankyou dinning experince recommended. what can i say. in the short time the woodhouse has been open i've been lucky enough and i say lucky because i've been there twice and each time its been awesome. the first time my husband and i walked in memories of home came to me with the smell of the redgum. my husband and i enjoyed every minute of this incredible experience although with our gourgeous little girl at home with grandma time flew.
this experience should be highly rated.
on our second visit we went as a family and i was so impressed that our little girl was treated as a real little person from having pencils and a colouring page for her, the way the staff treated her and included her to the absolutely awesome specialised kids menu which were little grown up meals same as mum and dad

thankyou and cheers to the woodhouse
ps must mentioned the steaks are incredible with a the tasting plate to die for

just devine and you must have a dessert!

food was average but excellent customer service! my partner and i came all the way from melbourne for the woodhouse's steak, unfortunately i didn't enjoy the steak. i ordered an eye fillet and the taste and the flavour of the steak was a rather disappointing. i have given comment to the waitress and the comment was passed on to the floor manager (i believe he was the floor manager). then he came over to explain he has personally tasted the beer itself and it tasted fine. he then offered to have this taken off the bill as he felt sorry that i didn't enjoy my meal. i was impressed by the service, he didn't have to do that but he insisted to do that because he wants to make sure every customer feels happy leaving the restaurant. in short, excellent customer service and will come back again for their service!

good restaurant for steak. they use special cooking method for steak, which is with wood fire.
it makes the surface of steak a little scorched and taste a little bitter. my friends felt it is a little strange but i do like it. by the way, the homemade sauce came with the steak is amazing!

has to be my favorite restaurant. went there the other day and had the pizza with wild mushrooms, san marzano tomatoes etc. it was incredible, one of the best pizzas i've ever tasted. the interior is so cozy with open fire crackling nearby. great friendly service as well. already thinking about our next visit there, cannot wait.

burned steak!!!!!!!!. went for lunch for a good steak and was very disappointed. below average for what you pay. the steak was burned and was medium cooked and not medium rare as i asked. the only thing that you could taste was the burned charcoal flavour. very disappointed never go back. the service was excellent and tipped the waiter for his effort but it does not balance with the food
