Woods Hill Pier 4

So yesterday I was on a Zoom call with my boss and we were strategizing about what restaurant we would go to while at this conference. There were two options. I don't remember the other one because he mentioned "butter poached lobster" and I was like "Uh - say less, King"So came here tn with coworkers and two guys who used to work at our company. We are having the best time.Restaurant's decor is classy AF and our server, Bridget (apologies if not right spelling) is top tier.The whole idea here is that you get small plates to share. We got short ribs, croquettes, heirloom tomato special x2, clams, oysters, gnocchi, spaghetti, AND the legendary butter poached lobster.We also got like 3 bottles of wine, 8 espresso martinis, and a ginger ale. Idk I've been to many restaurants and this one will probably always be one of my faves bc of the food, service, and the people I'm withI would recommend this restaurant to all. You literally cannot go wrongI am a little annoyed though bc my mentor and boss took shots together in secret without me so I will be calling HR

Returned here for another lazy Sunday brunch. We arrived to find our organizer had mistakenly made reservations (a must) for two weeks from today. Amazingly, the staff were able to seat us, and outside, on this hot and overcast/sunny day. It would have been unbearable in direct sunlight but it was delightful, if humid, and the beautiful harbor and entertaining people parade made it worthwhile. Oh, and the food of course. We three started with a mimosa, a cosmo, and a sparkling wine, all delicious. I had Eggs Benedict w/ham, cooked to perfection, with a lovely dressed side salad and roast potatoes. Friend 1 had chicken and waffles, with a side salad, and Friend 2 had a smash burger with french fries. All were more than satisfied with their meals. The service was prompt and cordial. Parking (not validated) at the nearby Pier 4 garage was manageable ($22 for about 2 hours). Will definitely be back!

Okay, full disclosure, I used to go to Anthony's Pier 4 back in the day...so I was intrigued to revisit the area. Multiple sources recommended Woods Hill when I asked where to eat in Boston so I figured the food would be good plus I'd get to see the waterfront spot again. The entire area is stunning. The ICA building, Mass Mutual building...ceiling to floor windows enable you to see not only the beautiful buildings, but also the boats going by...The service was outstanding. The sommelier guided us to delicious wines that pared well with the dishes we ordered. A special was the hand pulled burrata which we ordered along with the green goddess and the kale salad to start. Yummy! Three of us had the cod which was amazing, especially with the evoo mashed potatoes. The fourth in our party had the bucatini which was also a treat. Portions are good, substantial but not too big which is rare these days.All topped off with the carrot cake...another hit.Glad we went and we'll be back!

I had a really lovely high end dining experience here. I got a strawberry gin drink from the sipsmith pop up bar and absolutely loved it. The bread and butter were a great start to our meal. Then the two of us spilt 4 small plates which ended up being more than enough food. We got the lamb ribs, croquettes, cod, and zucchini. Every dish was so thoughtful and picturesque. The cod was excellent, and the croquettes and lamb were very good as well. Eating this on a beautiful waterfront patio was such a lovely experience. It was raining a bit but they pushed all of the tables under the awning so we could still have our al fresco experience. Overall this restaurant was really great!

Food was very good- best dishes were the delicata squash, broccoli, and gnocchi. Waiter told us plates were small and we'd need 2-3 per person, but they were much bigger. We ordered 5 things for 2 people and really only needed 3.

Our first time there for lunch. A lovely view of the seaport and a nice place to stroll. I had the salmon salad which tasted really fresh, while my hubby had a Cubano sandwich with fried pork which he liked. The service was efficient and friendly. We had bubbly too.

I am already a Chef Charlie fan. Starting with their flagship restaurants in West Concord - Woods Hill Table and Adelitas. The owner, Christina's farm to table, responsible farming, care for the planet and care for how we feed ourselves is vividly shared with the simplicity and elegance that Charlie puts into his menus.This visit was a colab with the American Lamb folks, who up to covid brought us Lamb Jam, and Grigich Hills Estate wines. During Lamb Jam-ish events, restaurants are gifted American Lamb and put to the test. 4 exquisite Grigich wines and pairings, Lamb swag and a memorable meal. Family-style was not my thing, but they made it work.Passed plates included chilled lobster, parsnips with lamb bacon (LAMB LARDONS MMMMMM) and a BEAUTIFUL arugula salad lightly dressed, laying on killer walnut tahini and blue cheese/walnut prosciutto wrapped dates. OH and those cheese puffs. Yea. He hit it hard. Then he surprised us with these dainty and MESSY sticky lamb ribs... OOOOHHHHH YEAH!Family style lamb shoulder that melted in your mouth, pommes Anna exquisitely crispy and creamy (from the potato) cooked in lamb fat was simplistic decadence. SO delicious (you should be sad you weren't there. IT WAS KILLER!) and grilled gem lettuce with labneh. HEAVEN!Grigich's not syrupy and restrainly sweet dessert wine sat besides a beautiful olive oil cake that also wasn't slap-you-in-sugar. Just beautiful.Lamb is currently the Napa Valley landscapping power keeping the soils fertilized and manicured. The symbionic relationship between the shepards and the vinters is an act of art. What isn't is the fact that the USA has not warmed up to lamb because of Mary. I don't think kids like to hear about how grandma slaughtered and roasted the little lamb. A sustainable and healthy protein enjoyed across the planet, US lamb should take its place on our plates. I'm ok BBQ the lamb for Mary. You should too.Woods Hill Table Pier 4 did not disappoint. AT ALL. Can't wait to come back. And spend college tuition because it ain't cheap. Worth the splurge! And now, for a STANDING OVATION For the Chef and his crew!

Come for the view and stay for the food. A lot of speciality cocktails. All the breads were super fresh, buttery, and charred. Pasta sauces had great flavors. Duck had a nice gamy finish. Ribs were fall off the bone. Come with atleast 4 people so you can try more dishes with smaller portions.

Very nice farm to table place! Everything was pretty good but their squid ink pasta was the most memorable ~ The pasta was al dente and was super flavorful and the seafood was not too overwhelming. The duck was a bit too chewy and tough to eat so I would pass on that next time. It was my first time trying steak tartare and it was surprisingly pretty tasty! It was out of my comfort zone but wood hills did a pretty good job. Service was great and the waitress was attentive. I came here twice so far and had a good experience both times!

One of the best meals, and most expensive, I've ever had. The food and service quality (and cocktail and wine selection) were outstanding. The location, view and atmosphere just lovely and memorable. Yes, the bill was high, but it was definitely worth it for a special, memorable dining experience. Thankfully, Yelp helped me find this place, as the review ratings average was very high, and my experience proves these ratings are pretty reliable. We found most of our restaurants in our week long trip to Boston via Yelp high ratings and reading reviews and menus, and our dining experiences were nearly flawless.
