   The best part of our meal was the service thanks to our waiter Diego who has been working there for years and goes out of his way to make customers feel welcome and well taken care of. The brunch foods were very good and sitting out in the back was nice, albeit a bit loud. Overall a great meal! Thank you Diego!!!

   Dinner at Woodside Bakery never disappoints. Every course is delicious and the menu is very creative. Our server was very attentive and checked in on us a few times. We sat in the back covered area which is lovely but on a busy night, a little loud. We prefer dining indoors in their cozy dining room.

   My companion and I enjoyed two generous size delicious salads and shared one bowl of yummy cauliflower soup along with the Parker Rolls. We'll be back! The Service was excellent too.

   We loved our dinner on the back patio last night with the exception of the fact that the back door was often left open and there was a serious draft coming from the top of the tenting that was competing and losing with the heaters. If that could be adjusted to offer a more moderate and comfortable temperature, the area would be warmer and hence, more comfortalbe.

   We come here regularly but this time the menu options felt incredibly limiting for vegetarians if you don’t want pizza or salad. There is no hearty alternative. Their dinner menu is much better. The cauliflower soup and beet salad were great but was hoping for a main option. The service is good. I would like to see a more expanded menu given the area we are in with great produce and diverse diets - ie vegetarian. I was also surprised to learn that the fries are cooked in the same oil as other meat and fish items. Although that is not uncommon, I was surprised for a higher end restaurant.

   Hello ChaiTime, We appreciate your feedback and are sorry to hear that the vegetarian options felt limited this time. We understand that our menu options need to cater to a variety of dietary needs, and we're glad you enjoyed our cauliflower soup and beet salad. We offer Vegetarian options on the dinner menu and would be happy to accommodate that if requested. We'll definitely take your feedback into consideration as we continually strive to improve our menu. Thanks for your feedback, we hope to welcome you back to The Village Bakery soon. Best, Camille Hiner Manager
