   We ate an anniversary dinner at the Inn, a wonderful four-course meal of oysters, lobster, braised short ribs, and sea bass. Everything was delicious, and we're excited to return. Below is a fuller review of the Inn itself: We had a wonderful time at Lambert's Cove Inn. We stayed one night for our anniversary. Upon arriving to the island, we received two messages from the staff via text. This was wonderful as it allowed us to request early check-in. When we got to the Inn, we were greeted by Galen and Anna. They informed us that we could check in early and gave us a tour of the Inn. The grounds are spectacular. We were very happy to have arrived early as it provided time to take a leisurely walk to the pond, through lush flowers and plans, and near the alpacas. The room was cozy and had a private balcony, which was lovely. The staff had left us a bottle of Prosecco for our anniversary. This little detail was amazing.

   Galen and Bridget and their team have done it again! Provided a delicious meal with the extra special touches that make coming back to Woods year after year a must for our family! The warm welcome, the amazing chowder, the best lobster puffs!, delightful salad, main courses cooked to perfection, and delicious desserts. And an amazing catalog of wines from which Bridget can so ably help you make a great choice! Thanks for another great dining experience!

   Brilliant. One of the best meals we’ve had ANYWHERE in the world. Worth a trip to Martha’s Vinyard for a meal here.

   All in all, the staff and the bottle of wine we ordered were the highlights. The food was disappointing. It was unimaginative, under seasoned (nothing was added), dry (salad was not properly dressed and the risotto was undercooked), and prefixed menu options were underwhelming. For the hype and cost, it was a huge letdown. Maybe it was an off night? We won't be coming back. There are too many other establishments, tried and true, that are closer and less expensive.

   We were celebrating our Anniversary with family. Every was great from food, to service and setting. The Woods is not like every other restaurant on the Vineyard. Well worth a visit.

   We enjoyed the cuisine greatly! Dining in the garden was a special treat. Our service left a lot to be desired in terms of attentiveness. Other than than, we enjoyed a nice meal in a beautiful environment

   So sorry to hear you did not feel adequately attended to. Our garden dining is a special addition we provide given the beauty of the setting, but it does ask a lot extra of our servers. We apologize if they did not attend to you as we strive to do at all times. Please try us again. Sincerely, Bridget

   This is a definite go-to for us each year during our MV stay. The unique cuisine flavors even overshadow the spectacular presentation. This is, by far, the best restaurant on the island that we have experienced, and we never leave disappointed. Until next time!

   A fabulous meal - or should I say meals, because the four of us all found our choices distinguished by brliliant flavors and lovely presentation. The meal was complemented by a lovely bottle of wine from The Woods cellar, a wine I look for but seldom find. The Woods presents a grat meal in a lovely setting, a combination not easily found anywhere, but particularly on the Vineyard/

    We decided to try the Woods for the last dinner of our MV girls trip and it did not disappoint. The restaurant and surrounding gardens at night were absolutely beautiful and the food was delicious. It really fit our tropical/floral themed dinner party well. I was also amazed that we were able to get a same day reservation as I had cancelled our earlier reservation. A big shout out goes to the hostest with the mostest, Ms. Linda who was lovely and took us on a tour of the gardens. The summer fixed price menu was pricey but not bad for the amount of courses received. The food was delicious! The braised short ribs, lobster puffs and the lamb appetizers were big hits, as were the cocktails. The only complaint the party had was that the salads were under dressed and the desserts were good but cold. The taxi drive out there was overpriced ($80 for 6 people) but I don't blame the restaurant for that. All in all a beautiful dinner in a lovely restaurant.
