Woodwork in Edmonton

Amazing staff and service. Woodwork has great tasting food and excellent drinks.

Absolutely delicious food. We ordered the Wood Work burger and grilled salmon, paired with the Laporte Sauvignon Blanc. Service was attentive and polite.

Incredibly small portion sizes and over priced food. Avoid Food

We were excited to try this place out, but either went on an off night or it s not as great as we d hoped. The food was mediocre, with so many amazing restaurants in Edmonton I d not go back here. Although we did really enjoy the Brussels sprouts appetizer. As far as cocktails, I asked the server for suggestions based on what drinks I typically like, and it was a miss for me. There was a very loud table nearby which also ruined the intimate vibe we hoped for.

Went here for a business dinner. Food was really good! The atmosphere is really great inside. The Old Fashioneds were amazing (the Old World with Calvados in it was really good). My only issue was the service. It was not attentive at all. I had to flag someone down every single time. We were sitting for 10 minutes and nobody had come to take our drink and food order. Our first round of Old Fashioneds were empty glasses sitting on the table and I still had to flag someone down. We probably would have had a third round but nobody was there. When it was time to leave we just asked for the cheque. I would definitely go back for cocktails for work but would not make it a quest to bring people there.

Best resteraunt experience I ve ever had. Meal was delicious and service was stellar

Excellent atmosphere and service, and Angel made fantastic cocktails. Will be back!

The brussels sprouts are to die for. The rest of the food was amazing as well.

The atmosphere is super cozy and warm, a very nice place to spend time. Brussel sprouts were some of the best I have ever had. Highly recommend.

Great vibe and always amazing cocktails. Great place to stop for a happy hour after work or date night.

Omg Amazing! The cocktails and the food tasted mind-blowing. From appetizer to dessert...so good. The service and the atmosphere superb. Well be back.

Absolutely amazing meal - I had the burger and the cheesecake, and everything was simply delicious. Had the house Old Fashioned and it was perfect.

Drink i had was great, just wish i could remember what i ordered. Staff was friendly.

Awesome place

just wanted to thank the staff here for the great service and for the accommodation they had for my wifes birthday this year. the ambiance was very good here and the food was delicious, everything was flavor full and was so simple, the brussels sprout dish there was amazing, thank you for the ambiance and the great service . we will definitely be coming back. thank you for your great service *abby d*

One of my highlights during my trip to Edmonton

Still on the fence for this one. Beautiful ambiance, huge list of cocktails. Incredible appetizers and small plates - I would go back just for that! Brussel sprouts are AMAZING. Felt disappointed when it came to the mains. Higher prices do not anlways equate to better taste. I will say that although I personally am not a lamb fan, the lamb shank apparently was very good. All other dishes served at our table were bland and underwhelming. Steak had no flavor, salmon was not the best I ve had. No offer for s&p. Made prior reservations for a birthday celebration and special request for a tiny birthday desert and no acknowledgement of this. Kind of awkward to ask for it at the end of the night so we just left. Would prob come here again for drink and appi but move on to somewhere else for dinner.

Amazing!! They have many cocktail options. The 4 we tried were so good - the Ixim is a must try and the whiskey sour was amazing. Food was also delicious and timely. The service was fast despite it being a full house on a Friday and the servers are all knowledgeable and well versed with the menu, able to make recommendations, pairings etc. Not to mention the place is beautiful and cozy. Love and we will be back

We had Pamela as our server and she made our evening absolutely delightful, gave us wonderful suggestions and was on top of everything. Definitely recommend this spot, thank you to our wonderful server :)

Great cocktails also excelente service!

Cozy and elegant vibe. Nice leather and wood styling. The cocktails are killer. Its right across the street from the Westin. So if youre in town, head there instead of the hotel bar. The charcuterie board was a little small and could have more elements to it. That could be said about much of their food menu.

Our favorite date night place! Incredible drink selections, amazing food, and friendly staff.

My boyfriend and his brother and I came for drinks and a quick bite but we ended up getting the market cut which is a huge tomahawk the steak was seasoned and cooked perfectly definitely worth the $200 It came with delicious peppers and onions and potatos we also added the Cajun shrimp on top of it the whole experience was mouth watering the presentation was amazing the service was amazing we will be back

Woodwork is my favourite place to visit in Edmonton. I don t come often, but when I do, I make a point to visit Woodwork no matter what I have planned. The bartenders are so friendly and talented, and if you catch them before it gets busy, they re happy to chat and make any cocktail you can imagine. When it s busy, they sling cocktails fast and make sure you re never waiting too long for a great libation. You can tell they really care about their craft and their customers, and take pride in creating great experiences. A very special shoutout goes out to both Pamela and Keshia for making my most recent experience extra enjoyable. Pamela has phenomenal customer service skills and was attuned to my needs as a customer. She sensed when I was the slightest bit uncomfortable and made sure to instantly make me comfortable again. Keshia took on every cocktail curve ball I threw her way and made some of the best cocktails I had ever had. I felt so well taken care of, and know that Woodwork is a place I ll visit time and time again because of the excellent care, attention to detail, quality, service, and of course, taste.

Came to Woodwork for my bachelorette dinner with my best friend. Service, atmosphere and food was incredible. The drinks were delicious, bar service was quick. Highly recommend this restaurant for a date night! Food : 5/5 |

4.4 stars is simply not high enough - excellent food, expert service and vibey atmosphere. We enjoyed everything we ordered very much.

Great cocktails. Server was so pleasant and had some great recommendations.

Cool spot with a phenomenal drinks list and great looking menu. Tartare and burger were delicious.

We love the atmosphere and unique cocktails here!!

Yall gotta come try these Brussel sprouts. Totally mind blowing!!

Matthew made our experience the bestt!! Hes so genuine, kind, and the best server I ever had! Ill be coming back and asking for him!

Shawn I believe was my bartender he worked so hard while serving tables and Still gave great service I would come back to get a Dealers choice from him.

I came here for a date night and Shawn made it a night to remember! Recommended drinks to our liking and the food was incredible. Will be back for sure! Way to go Shawn and woodwork!

I recently dined at Woodwork and was thoroughly impressed with the service we received. Our server, Shawn, was exceptional from start to finish. They greeted us warmly and offered insightful recommendations that perfectly matched our tastes. Shawn was attentive without being intrusive, ensuring our glasses were always filled and our needs were promptly met. Their professionalism and friendly demeanor significantly enhanced our dining experience. It s clear that Shawn genuinely cares about providing outstanding service. I highly recommend Woodwork and look forward to returning, especially if Shawn is working!

The tartar is quite literally the best tartar I ve had in years. Perfection. Lynn perfectly curated our experience with helpful knowledge and fun times. Couldn t recommend this place enough. The agave old fashion slaps. Hard.

Stopped by for a work lunch and got their Woodwork Burger with a drink. Burger was delicious. The cheese was gooey, and patty had a lot of flavor, would definitely consider it one of the top burgers Ive had. Id prefer the fries being a little more crispy. The food and drink were both good and I had no complaints. My only apprehension would be price, so a daily lunch would build up. Its an upscale place so its to be expected.

Have been searching for a super dirty gin martini that meets my fancy and this place jumped to the challenge. Soooo good! All servers/bartenders were helpful and generally amazing. Recommend 100% Service

Our server Keshia, was super nice and informative, listened to what I was looking for when it came to drinks and had fabulous recommendations. Super great experience overall, will definitely be coming back!

Excellent experience!

Went in for a drink and some apps. Good vibe. Bartender Shawn was solid. He was Super helpful and mixed us some great drinks when we asked recommendations. 10/10 would go again

Phenominal service, and a phenominal meal. Chicken supreme was awesome. Highly recommend.

Great drinks. And have the ribs. Trust me on that

Excellent customer service, chill vibes and the quiche with side of brussel sprouts was everything I could have wanted taste wise!

The food was amazing and so where the drink, my wife got the bartender Tariq to make her a cocktail on his choice and she loved it. Best pisco sour I have had in a long time also. Tariq recommend some items off the menu and we were amazed with the Brussels sprouts. Recommend to anyone visiting or locals. We will return. Sit at the bar and let Tariq help you through the evening.

Sorry no photos but wow, what an amazing experience. First night out without kids in a year and it was the perfect choice. Bartender Tariq was knowledgeable about drink recommendations (obv) but food options as well. My husband had the Mezcal Old Fashioned and Pisco Sour. He said the mezcal was good, very different take on the classic and new Pisco sour he d ever had. I had a gin based bartenders creation and it did not disappoint. Floral without being too sweet. Lovely. Food: Brussel sprouts (bartender rec. best in the city). He was right. Unreal flavours. Bbq ribs - good flavour but cold when they arrived. Mentioned to our server and he apologized and it was taken off our bill. Overall, impressive service, friendly knowledgeable staff, approachable menu, fantastic food and cocktails. Highly recommend!

Dont get me wrong - the food was great! But for the price we were expecting something a bit more original. - We tried several Old Fashion versions & all of them were great.

Amazing meal and cocktails

absolutely delicious. and an amazing evening with our greek waitress

I don t normally bother writing Google reviews but I felt like I needed to write one after my experience at this restaurant. To summarize: The service was absolutely terrible and the restaurant was unable to provide me with any food - I am celiac - due to cross contamination with gluten even though we had called in advance and were told accommodations could be made. My partner and I came here the other night to celebrate our anniversary. My partner had called a few days in advance and asked if the restaurant would be able to accommodate meals as I am celiac. The person he talked to on the phone stated many of the dishes could be made gluten free, that it would be no problem to accommodate someone who is celiac and that the fryer is also gluten free. Sounded great so we decided to go! We came to the restaurant and there was one server who was handling the front end to seat people, and also was the only one taking orders and handing out food. She sat us down at a table and then sat two other groups of people that came after us. After that, the server did not come to our table once. We sat at our table for almost 20 minutes at this point and I was unable to decide on what to order as there was nothing marked gluten free on the menu - I would have to ask the staff. I saw the server start taking orders for the table for the group she sat down after us, and then she moved onto the second group she sat down after us. She had poured their cups on their tables with water - and we had empty cups still on our table. I definitely made eye contact with her but we were ignored . At some point, the bartender came over and maybe noticed this, as he poured water for us. I asked him about gluten free menu options since finally someone decided to come to our table to check in with us, and he told us that he would check with the kitchen. After this he went back behind the bar, so we waited even longer. He finally went to the kitchen staff when I looked over at him and he saw me. He walked over to the kitchen and asked staff about what could be gluten free, then came back to our table and unfortunately told us that everything is cross contaminated in the kitchen as the restaurant makes their own sourdough and there is flour everywhere in their small space. Also, we were told that although technically no gluten items enter the fryer, the fryer was not gluten free due to all the high risk of cross contamination on items - so there is likely particles of gluten in the fryer. My partner had said we called in advance and were assured celiac could be accommodated and that we were also told there was a gluten free fryer, but the bartender stated that it is not possible and he does not know who we talked to. We do not know the name of the person we had talked to on the phone unfortunately. Honestly, it s totally fine if a restaurant does not accommodate someone with celiac disease - I understand! But to have waited so long and wasted soooo much time because the server ignored our table and never checked in with us ..that s unacceptable. I ve never been straight up ignored by a server at a restaurant. This left me so incredibly frustrated and angry with the whole experience. We were out late and because of this huge waste of time, lots of restaurants were already closed or closing so we didn t have many options that could accommodate my need for a gluten free meal. I would honestly not recommend this restaurant to anyone I know because of how my partner and I were treated. Dietary restrictions: I was told by staff that this establishment is not allergy friendly

Pretty cool place in Edmonton. Recommend getting a cocktail.

Best burger Ive ever had. The milkshake was amazing too

This place is always good. Aaaaaaalways! I love oysters, the cocktails, I love the Brussels sprouts (I know, sounds weird, but those are the best I ve had), and certainly the ambience.

The food was fabulous and Pamela paid us so much attention. Absolutely lovely.

We had a superb experience. The food was very delicious and Pamela was very wonderful waitress.

Booked a table here during Downtown Dining Week as we wanted to try something new. When you are looking at it from the outside it doesn t look like much, however when you enter the tiny doorway you are welcomed by a warm atmosphere and the amazing smell of steak being cooked over a wood fire. Our waitress, Pamela was superb and allowed us plenty of time to enjoy each course without any rush. The first course, the caramelized Brussel sprouts were amazing! I m already making plans to bring my mom to try them! The steak frites were delicious, seasoned perfectly and cooked to perfection. We ended up having to take the sticky toffee pudding home as there just wasn t enough room, but it made a great breakfast the next morning! Definitely would recommend, and a special thanks to Pamela for her outstanding hospitality!

Seriously, I cannot say enough good things about this restaurant!!! Top notch! Not one single complaint and Pamela our server was absolutely such a delight to top it off.. 5 stars isn t enough . Fab fab fab

Awesome

I have detailed my frustrations with this dining experience to Woodwork management via email with no response on March 20th. In short we were treated in a very unprofessional and amateurish manner. I was left to stand at the door at the front of the restaurant for an extended period of time while one of the servers stood at a distance and looked at me. I was served a beverage that was not at all what I ordered and the server seemed to expect me to just accept this. The appetizers that we ordered were not presented together, the beet salad was served and 7-10 minutes later the Brussels sprouts. My entree was under cooked and had to be sent back. This was the worst dining experience I have ever had! I would definitely not recommend this restaurant!

Rancid meat! We sat down with the most amazing bartender we ordered the market price steak at 75.00 as soon as it came out we smelt the worst smell ever, as we tried to cut into it, we couldn t. Our first bite went into our mouths and both of us almost vomited it was the worst meat we have ever experienced. We would not be writing this but the manager or owners did not even come over to apologize or talk to us as soon as we returned our rancid meat we were treated like garbage. My husband is currently sick now in the bathroom!

My husband and I had such a wonderful Valentines day here! The food was sooooo good. We are actually obsessed with their brussel sprouts. Staff was super friendly, quick, professional, and accommodating (we were late). Highly recommend.

It had been quite some time since we last visited Woodwork and this visit stands as a reminder as to why we havent visited in a few years. We had reservations for dinner prior to attending an event. Our reservations were for 5:30 and our party trickled in between 5:20 and 5:45. We were promptly seated but then spent quite some time before someone came to take our drink orders. Once we ordered, it seemed to take some time before our glasses of wine were poured and brought to our table. We spent most of the time looking at our servers back while we waited as he stood at the bar speaking with other staff members. Our food order as well was quite slow. We placed our orders of small plates and one meal and finished our wine while we waited. Although our glasses were empty when our food was finally brought to the table over 45 minutes later, no one asked if we would like another drink. While we were waiting, a server brought one of the small plates to the table, then quickly scooped it away, thinking that they had the wrong table with no apologies. I understand that there can be a lot happening on a Friday night, but staff should be prepared for this as many events are posted months in advance. Our server often seemed confused and never checked on us after we received our food. The table sitting next to us also commented that they were unimpressed and that their food arrived cold. Disappointing! Wheelchair accessibility: A ramp leads into the street-level restaurant which makes it easy to get into. However, you would likely have difficulty maneuvering between the entrance and the restaurants inner door. Once inside, its quite crowded when the restaurant is full which could lead to difficulty getting to the bathrooms but each of the single-person bathrooms do have a good size and layout.

Pamela is a superstar, she is extremely lovely and sweet, her suggestions and service were always exceptional, I m very happy I came here, also the food was very tasty and on point, thank you for this wonderful evening and dinner time.

I like the bench seats. Somehow made Brussel sprouts taste good. Good drinks and great food. Friendly service.

Great cocktail bar with delicious wood fired food. Very unique menu and fine laid back but attentive service. Top quality establishment. It should move to Calgary, really

Went out for dinner with a friend from the amazing word of mouth reviews Ive heard. The least I can say is that we were very surprised with our evening. Ill mention the food in a moment, however the owner of the restaurant dearly needs some life advice. He was berating one of the line cooks with some very inappropriate comments regarding what may or may not have been his sexuality. I felt so terribly for the young man and it ruined the evening. The food was well prepared and it is clear that they take great care in their presentation. However, I do not think I will return and if this young man ever sees this review, I am so sorry for how you were treated. You deserve a healthy working environment. Vegetarian options: Many options available Dietary restrictions: Many options available

Pleasantly surprised with this restaurant! The atmosphere is really nice and the food was delicious. Love the sourdough! Great cocktail list as well.

Fantastic classy environment, reasonable pricing and lovely original cocktails. Would highly recommend for a night out. Excellent service and friendly staff. Food was excellent. Angel was an excellent bartender.

Best restaurant downtown. The Food and Drink was on task! Well done!

Best place in Ed for date night cocktails/plates? Could be.

Love this place. A top date night location for downtown. Me and my girlfriend are trying to do a tour of the best charred brussell sprouts in the city and this is in the top three for sure.

Great place, friendly atmosphere, really enjoyed our appys and drinks there.

Lovely spot for cocktails, howver it is vexing that in this day and age there is not a single vegan option on the menu in appetizers, small plates or mains.

Came in last night with a group of 9 of us for dinner, what an exceptional experience! Our server was absolutely exceptional! She was attentive and although when drinks took a bit longer then normal due to the sheer volume of guests in the building she was communicating with us which was so exceptional! The food, the food! We eat out quite often and that has to be the BEST meal we have ever had. The way the culinary team curated the menu was flawless and cooked to perfection! Everyone raved about the experience all night! Will definitely be back, and suggest Woodwork to anyone looking for a place downtown to go! Great way to ring in the new year for sure!

Weve had good experiences previously here which is why we chose to come for the set menu NYE dinner. Appetizer and dessert was good, mains were average. The reason for the low rating was the time it took to get our food. We had new years plans that we missed, because even though our reservation was at 9pm, we didnt get our appetizers until 10:30pm, our mains at 11:45pm and our dessert at 12:30am. By the time our mains came out we werent even hungry anymore. Nothing was communicated to us about the wait time by the server. TLDR: We spent 4 hours at a restaurant where the 3 course menu was set and our selections were submitted to the kitchen within 30 minutes after seating... highly disappointing.

Concept is on point, but looking forward to seeing if they progress to higher quality.

Drink service was extremely slow, lamb and chicken was bland. Had to return the steak tartar the flavour was off and the beef was smashed to smitherines. Also the beef tartar foccacia bread was smokey and tasted horribly with the beef. The best part of the meal was the fries. Was honestly really disappointed by the entire experience and will not be returning. However our server was nice hence the one star.

Wonderful service, excellent food and nice atmosphere! The small plates were so big we ended up just getting a few of them as we didnt have enough room for a meal after. Highly recommend!

This place has hands down the best Brussel sprouts. They are crispy, saucy, and so flavourful. Ive been here 3 times, and each time, Ive tried a couple of different things from the fries, cheese and jam plates, focaccia bread, and Brussel sprouts, and they have all been delightful. I am a vegetarian, and there are multiple choices for me to pick from. The bartenders are also awesome to suggest different cocktails to suit your taste if youre unsure of what to get. Its hard to get a table for a walk-in, so be sure to book a reservation beforehand.

Crispy burger with a good smoked flavor. Many dishes have a wood smoked signature and they dont overdo it. Definitely worth a visit! Food

Great service, ambience, food, and drinks every time! The cocktails are amazing, and lately I have especially appreciated their zero proof menu. It s nice to see a restaurant that s put some solid effort into their non alcoholic options. The lavender tonic was delish

Great bartenders with knowledge and delicious drinks

Had a great experience, the bartender was awesome to talk to and very friendly. Great drinks and service.

The food was amazing, pricey but worth it. Wonderful service. Make sure you make a reservation Parking: Park at the library across the street and come up through the Westin Hotel

Went for an anniversary.. Jacob was an amazing bartender!! Great service, and was really personable!!

Drinks were pretty good but the food was unfortunately not good. Especially for the price point, I expected better steak but it was worse than comparable prices at other businesses. Service was not great either.

Great food selections. Had Islay Old fashioned. Food

Looking for somewhere for a light supper prior to an evening at the Citadel, we chose the Woodwork, partially as neither had been before. It turned out to be an excellent choice, both because of a very interesting menu and an excellent server called Andrea. She was delightful and so was our food selection. We were able to have a very relaxing evening and both agreed that a return visit is called for very soon.

This place is an all around experience. Food and drink is excellent. The ambience is impeccable and extra bonus points for not having a television or screen to be seen anywhere.

The burger was fantastic. Great with allergies!

My fiancé and I were very excited to try this place for our date night. We had made a reservation for tonight for 5pm, arrived right at our reservation time (which is also their opening time, so it was not busy) and were seated. 15 minutes later we have not been acknowledged. Waitress must have walked past us more than 5 times without a glance and served other diners that came in after us. We ended up getting up and leaving, again without anyone saying anything to us. Very disappointing.

Great cocktails and delicious food. Reservation definitely recommended on weekends. The butternut agnolotti was 5 stars for me. Service was exceptional.

Excellent night out joint.

Passed through Edmonton for a few hours & stepped in. Service was friendly & knowledgeable. Food surprised us as it was way better thought & executed than we expected, and fairly priced. The bartender was knowledgeable & friendly, while handling many complex drink orders. Would have definitely held ground in Boston or NYC.

A lovely and romantic restaurant with excellent cocktails.

I love the feeling when you walk in, looks great. The staff is incredible and their drink menu is top notch. It is expensive so know that going in but otherwise you won t regret it. We ended up chatting with the bartender for most of the evening and he was incredibly nice and made the night even better.

This place was fantastic! We thoroughly enjoyed sitting at the bar and getting to know the bar tender and other staff. All of the staff are very talented and everything was excellent. Best cocktail Ive had anywhere!

A wide array of unique hand-crafted cocktails coupled with a food menu that fires on all cylinders. One of the best experiences I ve had in the downtown core. It s really refreshing to see a restaurant dare to be different, and succeeding in creating something magical. I highly recommend Woodwork. Shout out to Dylan - the cocktail master extraordinaire!

I dont drink so its not really my scene but I hear the drinks are pretty great. Food was fine although a bit pricey. Edit: Not sure how to reply to a reply. Hard to improve value of food without cutting quality of ingredients. But just a few small things, ribs seemed a little tough. brussel sprouts were good but a little more burnt than I normally see. (seasoning good for both though) Wasnt the biggest fan of the korean fried chicken. I can see the attempt at a fusion thing so might just be my personal preference of not liking the flavouring that much (Im not the biggest fan of most fusion foods although some can be great). And might just be me but there wasnt much flavour in the chicken itself, mainly it was in the skin. Not sure if the chicken needs to marinate a bit more or something. (not a chef in the least so could be entirely off base but my opinions on it anyway)

Amazing staff. Fantastic atmosphere. Best cocktails. Phenomenal food. Just go. The happy hour is amazing.

Place is good for current Mixology standards of Edmonton but Definitely over priced.. Good hospitality but Table was not ready even after reservation which shows complete mismanagement... WHY do they have Pinepple in all their house cocktails.. Cocktails were completely out of balance and ingredients mentioned were not present in the taste... I would expect some good presentation in terms of glassware and ice for this price point.. For food where do I start .their food is expensive than FAIRMONT across the street with out having any taste or texture to it.. No Vegetarian OPTION at this day and age clearly shows that they are at least 10 years behind their competitors.. Desert was good but that would not make me visit again to this place.. I hope they innovate on their cocktails and bring better mixology to Edmonton..

Beautiful place - great cocktails and food . Definitely worth the money but I recommend to book in advance . Popular spot

I was very disappointed with Woodwork service. We walked in after a country concert wearing our cowboy boots and they refused to serve us. We were literally ignored and profiled. I have never experienced this in an Edmonton bar before!! Very sad to experience.

Woodwork is a wonderful stop on 100 Street in downtown Edmonton. It may be a bit of a lesser known haunt as it doesnt have direct access with parking out front. Typically I park around the corner on Rice Howard Way. However, its a super dining experience offering up smaller plates for sharing and larger ones if you want to go it alone. Its more modern fusion and its delicious. The space is very inviting and cozy. Beautiful stylings make this a very wonderful setting. And the service is always great. 5 x

Cannot speak highly enough of this place. In Edmonton from out of town and we were blown away. The cocktails were fantastic and the presentation was exceptional. The food was excellent (Brussel sprouts, ribs, sausage and oysters to share). Finished off with the pot de creme, complex flavours and a highlight to end our meal. Our server was friendly and gave great recommendations as well. The ambiance and decor were excellent. I d move to Edmonton just to come here again!

Been meaning to go here for the last couple of years. It was delicious, including the drinks. The place is very nice as well. Bartender knows how to serve good drinks.

A month ago I stopped in for a drink with my husband before going to watch a play at the Citadel. It was really busy so we took a seat at the bar. We had such a splendid time chatting with the bartenter who made me a special drink after I told him what I like. We ordered a few snacks and it was truly an amazing experience. The bartenter was kind and we loved watching him makes drinks. We for sure will be going back again soon.

Great service, drinks, and food. Such a cool vibe. The steaks were cooked perfectly and had such good flavor.

Great selection of Old Fashioneds!

I had the most perfect evening with a lovely stunning girl. Woodwork is the place to go if you want to impress and be impressed! Wow! The food was wonderful let me get that out of way. Small but concentrated menu that appeals to the cocktail lover. What I want to convey is how amazing the service at the Bartop is! Tariq was our bartender and he explained cocktails to us like he was an absolute professional! Although he was young he could have been a mixologist in a past life from the passion I saw in him while working. He even handcrafted my lovely date and I handmade cocktails of his own design. 10/10 service 10/10 quality. If you come here I highly advise asking for Tariq when you do.

This restaurant exceeded our family expectations! Drinks were like something we ve never tried before, not the usual ones you find anywhere, you can actually taste the different spirits and the fruit in them. Food blew our minds, best steak I had in a while and sides were so thought. I ll give the spice chocolate mousse a 20/10 and a n even better review to the server, he knew the menu, ingredients and made the best recommendations, loved this place it was not cheap but worthy of a nice occasion thank you Jason for a wonderful service Parking: There s a public one just across the street

Other than being kinda noisy this restaurant is awesome! Amazingly good and friendly staff!

If youre looking for a cocktail its a great spot. The tartar and cheese cake was tasty.

Great spot to have a drink. Insanely friendly staff too

Jacob and Ryan gave me the best service ever!!!! Awesome vibe! You are lucky to have these amazing men working for you!!!! I m a new regular!!!! Thanks so much for the fantastic experience. Food

Best brussel sprouts Ive ever had, burger was amazing. Servers were friendly and attentive. We had Nicole and she was great. Highly recommend for a night out or a nice dinner.

My partner and I popped in for late night snacks and a cocktail (arrived just after 11pm, just before the kitchen was closing). The staff were warm and welcoming, the vibe was immaculate! We ordered an assortment of share plates and some cocktails. Tariq the bartender can only be described as walking art. He is a master of his craft and all his recommendations were top tier! The food was fantastic, the cocktails and personal service we received from Tariq were second to none! 10/10 we can t wait to come back and enjoy the dinner menu!

Great cocktails, that bartender is a genius!!

Great cocktails and food, not very filling but a great spot to go with some friends and have some delicious cocktails

My Sister her Husband took me here for some oysters and beverages on my latest visit to Edmonton. Everything was lovely and I would go back!

Cocktails are yummmmm. Also our server tonight was incredible. It was her last night and she was headed to England and we wish her all the best. Best device maybe ever? Yup. Will be back for the Bombadil alone

Classic cocktails, amazing wine list, great service and a fabulous wine list.

Going here was a big disappointment, my friends and I went there for food and drinks. The ribs was bland there was no seasoning!!! The BBQ sauce that they used on it and it was served with nothing!! If I had gone to Boston Pizza I wouldve gotten better food and what I paid for it wasnt worth it, that money could give me a full rack in Boston Pizza and it wouldve some with something on the side not even a dipping sauce . There have a grilled chicken there I will give that a 2/10 the carrots was badly burned and had a bitter taste, the fry chicken that was ordered -2/10 1 drum and half of a thigh and what it came with was a joke!!! Flavors was lacking. I will never go back there!!!

Best restaurant in Edmonton hands down, food quality is amazing. You won t be disappointed

Really cool small restaurant with a great menu. We enjoyed the wide variety of choices. The burgers were great, and the cheese plate was delicious!

Always a great experience. Would recommend grabbing their pork chop main dish!

Proper food and drinks. Very original spot the only feedback I would have is the place is way too dark inside

Our server, Pamela, exceeded expectations. The food was top-notch as always, and the service was exceptional. Vegetarian options: Very good veggie options. The Mac and cheese is amazing.

Amazing cocktail lounge that rivals any big city locale. Woodwork knows how to put together excellent cocktails without being pretentious. They just know how to put together a great drink. Have been over a handful of times whenever in the city and it never disappoints.

Great cocktails and a good vibe. Unique spot in Edmonton.

Private dinner with a set menu. The food was fantastic!

Had a double date at Woodwork recently and some aspects were excellent, while others fell short. The cocktails are generally quite good, the Brussel sprouts were our favorite thing we ordered out of 7 different dishes. None of us were super impressed with the mains however (the halibut, a modified version of the parpadelle pasta, and the chicken) - I probably wouldn t order any of those again for the price point, they were okay but nothing to write home about. The ribs were good, and the sticky toffee pudding was good. In short, I would go back only for the small plates and drinks. Our server was great however the service was slower than normal, taking 3 hours total and 2 hours in before our meals came out even though we ordered at the earliest opportunity we could.

The missus and I went here for our anniversary dinner. We went in with high hopes for a great dinner, but it didnt quite live up to expectations. Our server was great, and its a nice room. We started with a couple of drinks, which did not disappoint. They make em strong here, people. So we ordered a couple of quick appies. She got the house Sourdough bread, I ordered the grilled house sausage. I got the smoked ribs instead, not sure why, but no big deal. The ribs were ok. Nice and tender, but not a lot of smokiness, and just not much flavour. As for the girl, she was pretty disappointed with her bread, which was dense and didnt taste fresh. For our mains, I chose the grilled chicken Supreme with roasted vegetables and sauce Volaille, and she went with the steak frites. Her steak and my chicken were both cooked beautifully, and her fries were crisp and nicely seasoned. However, the greens with the steak brought nothing to the party, and my potatoes and carrots were not seasoned at all, and completely lacking in flavour. Also, I got maybe a teaspoon of sauce, which didnt help matters. All in all, dinner was ok, but thats about it. Would I return? Probably not.

I had some time to kill downtown, so I swung by this establishment. Fancy fancy place I tells ya. Expensive bar but very swanky. Nice modern decor. A bit small of a bar but it was intimate. I got a pint of Blindman while I munched on smoked olives. Later I ordered Japanese whiskey, I forget the name. The server seemed to know his stuff, as per his recommendation. Good service. Very polite, high end bar thats wayyy too classey for me. Maybe Ill put on my Sundays best next time I visit. And take out a loan...haha

This is my new favourite in Edmonton. It is an amazing place for cocktails and tapas style plates. The staff are warm and accommodating... Nichole is a standout. For a town too reliant on craft beer, this is a revelation.

Amazing spot! Would go back again and again. Shared a bunch of appies with my girlfriends. All the food was so good that we forgot to take pictures. Got some non-alc drinks that were to die for. I love this place. Eating here felt like a warm hug.

Small but interesting menu, delicious food, great beer, wine, and cocktail selection. Our server was knowledgeable and attentive. I had the beet salad and gnocchi (handmade); others in my party had the burger, house-made sausage, Brussel sprouts, and mac and cheese. All were very satisfied with their choices.

Food was awesome, drinks were good, music was terrible.

One of our favourite spots in Edmonton. Great food, pleasant staff - always! Been coming here for 5 years. Keep up the good work! Ps the burger is !

Sorry I didnt take any pictures. Great spot I have been meaning to get to. Really good food, service, and cocktails. Will definitely go again. And get the Charcuterie and Brussel sprouts!

Stopped by here for happy hour and it was fantastic! They have a great atmosphere and a killer cocktail menu. We ordered a few plates to share, I recommend their stake tartare. Their dinner menu looked amazing so we ll certainly be back!

Amazing cocktails and a really cozy yet sleek vibe. Its great for a date night out!

Very chill atmosphere and a great place to grab some cocktails. I recommend sitting at the bar and watching them work... The bartender was very helpful in recommending what to drink, and for our second cocktail, made something off-menu specific to my partners taste. He nailed it.

Amazing, cozy atmosphere, the drinks were great and the food was absolutely some of the best we ve ever had!

For Edmonton it s a good spot and we did enjoy most of the food. The bone marrow was amazing, the chicken was great as well. I found the oysters were a tad too salty and the steak tartare had a sauce in it that completely overpowered any taste of the meat. The bar tender was rather pretentious, we enjoy the food scene in Edmonton and places like Yarrow (which is miles beyond Woodwork) never treated us in a condescending way so it was rather disappointing to have that interaction at Woodwork. I lived in Luxembourg and tried to have a conversation about wine but he refused to entertain anything I said and I m almost certain he ignored me after he was done talking. It actually left me a bit baffled, even a bar tender at Craft would have better conversational skills.

Woodwork is a must go to if your downtown, from the moment you walk in. Instantly you are introduced by wonderful warm ambiance and charm - from the decor and to the dim lighting. It s a cocktails lovers dream with a well thought out menu. Staff were welcoming and fully informed and expect magic behind the wood - with open kitchen concept makes for a great show. I came for oysters and cocktails with a friend and I ll definitely coming back again.

great place

Great cocktails, Brussels sprouts were delish! Staff super nice and extremely accommodating. Main was steak frites, steak was perfect, fries were extremely salty and over cooked, salad was horrible and boring. They really should serve the brussel sprout dish with the steak frites. I would come back here and try the other dishes.

We just discovered this place and were dually impressed with the cocktails and food.

Great time. The bartenders are wonderful

Amazing service!! The food was great and the servers exceeded expectations, thanks Sami!

We enjoyed our dinner. It was a little noisy, but the food was good and the service was good.

Most disappointing service ever. I came in for my birthday with a couple of people. It was a week day and it wasn t too busy. We came in a bit late so when we asked when last call would be. We were told it depends on how busy it is . The server we had was unbelievably rude to us all night. I ordered a drink that I did not like, I asked the server if it would be possible to change it. (I did not finish even half the drink) He said gave me an attitude for not knowing how absinthe tasted like he did not return back for 10-15 minutes. Another server walking by asked if we needed help. As we explaining the situation and our server sees this and runs over stating you guys don t need to go around asking everyone about your drink. I spoke to the manager you can get another drink but if you don t like it , we won t be getting you another . After finishing my second drink , he never asked me again if I wanted anything else and just removed the glass when it was done. When our food arrived he placed it down telling us what was on the plate. One of the jams wasn t on the plate that he stated. When we asked about he all he said was well I guess we are out . When asking for food recommendations , he said I work here once a week, I don t know. Everything s good here . The final straw was him telling us they were doing last call and still seating a table after. My entire party works in the service industry. This was TERRIBLE. One good part of the place what that the food was really good but just wow. Left feeling pretty upset for the amount we paid for the unbelievably bad service.

Chris is an absolute gem of a bartender. Great to come in here after work and decompress. Will be back to woodwork again and again.

Awesome meats, service was incredible, trendy downtown atmosphere. Try the Peanut Butter, Chocolate and Raspberry Thang for dessert!

Still one of my favorite places for a snack & cocktail. My go to are the Brussel sprouts & espresso Martini. Mixologists are so daper, knowledgeable and accommodating.

Charming atmosphere, and some of the most thoughtful and artistic personal cocktails that Ive ever enjoyed.

Really lovely atmosphere for a date night. Cocktails are beautiful and delicious. We will be back.

Food was extremely underwhelming in all aspects and service was terrible as some people at the table weren t finished eating and plates were being cleared with the bill already presented. Wouldn t recommend for the price will not being going back extremely disappointed

Service was lovely and the atmosphere here is one of my favourites.

The bartender is amazing. Asked him to make me any drink that came to mind and it was absolutely beautiful. One of the best I ve had in a while. The people here are incredibly personable, and willing to chat. I m from out of town but I felt like I was at home.

Great vibe and our server was amazing. I ordered the brussel sprouts after hearing how amazing they were, but they were too burnt for me to finish eating. My friend got the chicken and it was pretty bland. It was also very busy and it took almost 2 hours to order and get our food and drinks. Should hire some more employees.

Great cocktails and friendly staff.

One of my favorite new places in Edmonton. The bartender was amazing, we set at the bar and he created the most yummy drinks for us. I also had the duck and it was spot on.

This place is good and serves decent cocktails, wine and food, but the hype about it is overrated. We had a sharing board of charcuterie and cheese. The cheese provided was two bland wedges. Could not hear what the waitress called it because she was a soft talker, but one tasted like bocconcini and the other a mild, soft, flavourless cheddar. The meat selection was very tasty, as were the condiments and focaccia. The smoked olives were perhaps the best tasting thing we had. Not sure about their choice of cheeses. It was a disappointment, as we expected more from this place. It s a step up from the pub and other beer restaurant around the corner for ambience and cocktails. That s about it. They could do better.

Great drinks food and Bartender. Billy went over and above. Would definitely recommend

Honestly, our lives have changed forever after going to this place lol. Not only is the service impeccable (go see Claudia, shes awesome!), but the food is a delight you will not surely find anywhere else. Their cocktails are irresistible and very well done. Edmonton has a real gem in their midst. If we could give it more stars, we would.

Had drinks here with friends. The house sour cocktail was phenomenal. Our waiter was pleasant and made conversation with us. This establishment is small and gets very busy in the early evening. I can t wait to go back there.

The food is great, the location is well curated, the service is fantastic. That said, Id love to see the menu change more seasonally. A place like that, with a chef that talented should have a bit more of a seasonal menu in my opinion. Also, maybe it was just our most recent visit but good lord it was hot in there. No AC or even a fan to be seen. It had to have been 35° in there. The staff was awesome though. Kept drinks full and even gave us ice cream sandwiches after dinner.

This is the COOLEST place, and Dylan was an absolute gem! We ordered dealer s choice cocktails and were amazed with the process he goes through to curate something specifically to your taste. Will 100% be coming back any time I m in Edmonton

Truly amazing! Came here for a wedding and every single course was amazing and all the cocktails was amazing truly just sublime.

My friend and I came here for my birthday tonight. We arrived 15 minutes early for our reservation and asked to sit at the bar until our table was ready. We were essentially forgotten about until right before our reservation. The bartender was very apologetic as noone told him we had been sat, made our drinks promptly and offered to discount them. The food was quite good but the service from our server wasnt the best. Ill be back to give it another chance though.

Not having hard copy menus is almost insulting. There are a lot of people not wanting to be on their phones when they sit down for a 50 dollar a plate dinner. Service could have been better.

Fantastic line up of unique cocktails and the food was carefully prepared and served. Great for a date night!

Ive had several great experiences at this place. I often go here on dates, its a great place to go to get to know someone new. The cocktails are really good here, the bartenders / mixologists are incredible, and all the staff are super friendly. The restaurant itself and the atmosphere are amazing. I would really recommend this place.

Place was empty but they sat us all squished together in the corner. We left after one drink. Overall wasn t nice experience

Food was great, and drinks were really well presented and came out fast. Service was friendly but slow, did not see our server much as it seemed they were overwhelmed with their tables. The atmosphere is beautiful and great place for date night

The pasta servings here are embarrassingly small. There seriously should be a warning on the menu about them. Overall poor service as well. Bianco is much better and just down the road!

Landed here after a less than stellar experience at Craft. The drinks were great (our guests loved the cherries in their drinks), the service was quick and attentive. Top notch.

The service was amazing, the Brussel sprouts are very good. I ordered the chicken which I found very bland and salty. Great happy hour menu. Main dishes were disappointed.

This is long been one of the best cocktail bars in the city. Always reliable and feels like coming home.

First time here and ordered the Brussel sprouts, cheese plate, fried chicken and pork ribs and were stuffed for 2 people. The pork ribs I think they forgot to glue the meat to the bone because the meat fell right off. Could use a little more flavour but were cooked perfectly. The fried chicken was great and coleslaw was super tasty. Brussel sprouts were great, no complaints but the star was the cheese plate with big pieces of foccia bread. The bread was a little burnt on the edges and could smell the burnt pieces but the bread was fluffy and came with olive oil and vinegar. Paired with the cheeses and jams it was arguably the best plate of the night. Definitely a fancier place so don t forget to dress up!

Had the pleasure of being there twice in a month. Cocktails are amazing. Candis the bar boss made me a custom cocktail based on what I drank....out of this world. Go there. Be happy. Drink well. 5/5

Wow. This may have been one of the best cocktail lounges Ive ever been to. We had the pleasure of sitting at the bar, and Linh is a true Cocktail genius! Make sure to try her invention the Linh-gerning Passion. Its absolutely amazing. Run, dont walk to this place. It gets very busy though, so make sure to get reservations!

Terrible place, got food poisoning

Great place for a very tasty drink.

Wonderful place to stop for quality food and exceptional cocktails. I order the full charcuterie board nearly everytime Im there.

Chill staff, cozy little place, good cocktails, saved to my list for future Edmonton visits!

We went to try the new drinks (The fertile Cresent, middle eastern inspired). As someone who makes a drinks Turkish coffee often I loved the idea, the execution though was unfortunately missed. The place looks amazing as usual, great music, perfect lighting, and the old fashioned was good. The service is usually okay at best, good at checking up on you and getting you seated but it lacks that connection that makes yoi want to come back, or specifically request someone. The fact they just put the cheese plate down and walked away (there are 4 different types of cheese, what kinds of cheese are they?) And the presentation..at least put some effort in? I wish I took a picture I was just so surprised by the lack of effort that I forgot to. That being said I would honestly rather go to other places on 104 or near by that have great service, food, and drinks. It is really a shame because I have been hearing so many good things about the place, might try again (This was my second visit)

Great bar with a selection of unique and classic cocktails. The food is also delicious and their staff are super friendly! Hope to return soon!

Still the best cocktail bar in the city. House sour tastes just as good as it did 4 years ago. Just go.

Sturgeon was slightly slimy and fishy. It really needed more time in the pan plus the squash was hard, which means it was also under cooked. The caviar was low quality and the buerre blanc tasted like mayonnaise. Worst restaurant. Also only got 3 pieces of fish that were like 1×1 inch each. This all for $30 such a rip off.
