Customer Reviews
Always a wonderful meal and great service while visiting Woodstock! Our server, Ryan, was super friendly and professional. We started with the Harvest Salad with butternut squash and an apple honey vinaigrette , which was wonderful. I had the chicken Marsala for an entree - excellent! My husband had the steak which was cooked perfectly. Both dishes came with mashed potatoes (yum!) and beets (I have a new love for beets 😄) The peanut butter pie for dessert was amazing! Next time I’ll be ordering my own slice. Highly recommend while visiting Woodstock! Thank you, Ryan, for a great dining experience - looking forward to out next visit!
I really enjoyed the atmosphere at 506 Bistro & Bar! I stopped in for a glass of wine both times and it was so nice to sit in their cozy lounge chairs by the fireplace with the holiday decorations out. Very festive and warm. David and Ryan were both super enthusiastic and warm, great sense of humor and always checked in to see if I needed anything. David is the F&B manager and I mentioned to him how much I loved the wine list, especially with Nebbiolo. He chose great selections for the wine list! This is a great spot to go for a drink and a bite by yourself or with friends. I haven’t sat down for a full meal but I’m sure it would also be great!
We didn’t have reservations and luckily were able to eat at the bar. David the bartender was great and accommodating. The chicken Marsala and meatloaf were enjoyed. Nice atmosphere! We were told the restaurant was fully booked for a table but during our time there it was clear that the restaurant was not fully booked. Unfortunate.
I have to say the atmosphere was very nice in this bistro. The food came out fast and it was delicious. The service was very underwhelming. We were greeted with a server left feeling very unwelcome, upon seating us stating “your server will be a while”. While recognizing restaurants can be busy and understaffed we were made to feel we were a bother when asking questions about the menu and in reply given smart remarks in belittling us. When asked if we want desert we were hoping to have the crème brûlée. We were told sorry we are out of that along with other item on the menu that night. When expressing disappointment in this out waiter Dave stated, “well people like you need to stop coming to our town”… then corrected himself stating, “the last few weeks we have been slammed and busy then
My wife and I spent 3 nights at On The River Inn and spent 2 of the nights at 506 Bistro. Both our server and then the bartender were exceptional. The atmosphere is quite nice and the food was fantastic. Highly recommend.
