Haywood's Restaurant

We dined here tonight and unfortunately the experience was very disappointing. The restaurant was busy, so when we were seated at a high-top table near the entrance, we were understanding and assumed better tables were reserved. That part was not the issue. The real problem was the service. We were told bread would be served, but two tables that arrived after us received bread twice before we ever got ours. We had to ask for it, and it was eventually brought after we had already finished our main courses, which defeats the purpose of serving bread as a starter. From the time our salads were served, we waited approximately 20–30 minutes for our main dishes. During the entire meal, no one checked on us — no “Is everything okay?”, no follow-up at all. After our mains, we were left sitting

Had reservations for 5:00 on an October Saturday. Although we had a reservation, and the place was not yet full, our seating options were limited and we chose the patio behind the building. We ordered the trout, the pork chop, and a seared tuna bruschetta starter. The tuna came after a reasonable wait but had not been seared. When we asked to have it seared, we were told it was not an option. One of us has sensitivities to uncooked meat/fish, so we had to send it back. The pork chop and trout were prepared nicely, but the wait time seemed excassive (about an hour),although the staff were very courteous.

Can’t say enough good things about this restaurant. The food was amazing, the service was perfect, and if you’re into piano music you cannot beat the atmosphere. My wife and I dined here for our 8th wedding anniversary. Hands down one of the best restaurant experiences we’ve had.

My experience here was perfection. The ambiance was so lovely and the staff very attentive. I was lucky to enjoy Sunday Jazz which really added an extra level here. The food exceeded my expectations. Everything so fresh and such interesting flavor combinations. I wouldn’t change a thing. I rarely get a chicken dish out because it’s often bland or boring. This one was utterly amazing. The butternut squash purée coupled with the smokiness of the mushrooms and creaminess of the sauce was heaven. I hope to come back again soon!

We wanted to a fine place for our anniversary dinner. Haywood's did not disappoint. We reserved a table online and it was ready when we arrived. The server was very pleasant and attentive. My wife had roasted chicken and I had the pan seared bass. We both enjoyed our meals. There was pleasant live piano music. The atmosphere was f9rmal, yet not stuffy. A great place to have a relaxing delicious meal.
