The Dining Room (Woodstock)

The Dining Room is a cozy, quirky space and the intention is to deliver a limited selection of great food via their 'trolley' to the table. Unfortunately the food was hit and miss with some dishes, notably the main courses, quite delicious while some others were, in fact, inedible. You want them to succeed but, for instance, on a cold winters evening the deserts were all cold, pre-prepared, straight from the fridge (some 3 days old by their own admission). Only filter coffee to end off with - no espresso etc. Apart from the mains it felt a bit like left-over night which was very disappointing as we know the standards of The Kitchen is supposedly much higher.
