Best Bite:<\/strong> L. Woods was purported to be a hidden gem of the Lettuce Restaurant You restaurant group, and it lived up to that reputation. L. Woods serves traditional supper club fare, including classic homestyle desserts. The chilly key lime pie had the right level of tartness with a buttery graham crust and crown of whipped cream.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

L. Woods is also known for their barbecue, so I went for a meaty entree that was exclusive to the Restaurant Week menu. The texture of the country pork rib was impressively tender, and corn pudding and sweet potato fries are two of my favorite sides anywhere (usually independently), so it was a nice treat to have them together.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Other notes:<\/strong> You can’t go wrong with a molten cheese-topped French onion soup, with the savory soaked crouton underneath. And I had to get an old fashioned in true Wisconsin supper club fashion, this one a springy strawberry.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
