Custom Menus — Always

No corporate restrictions. No cookie-cutter lists.

At Woody’s, every event begins with a conversation, not a menu PDF. We design each menu around your tastes, dietary needs, event style, and budget. Simple, elegant, playful, formal, family-style… whatever you envision, we create.

If you can imagine it, Chef Wood can cook it. (And probably make it even better.)

For Every Type of Gathering

  • Weddings & Rehearsal Dinners
  • Corporate Meetings & Holiday Parties
  • Private Home Events
  • Celebrations of Life
  • Golf Tournaments & Community Events
  • Retirement Parties, Anniversaries & Birthdays

Ingredient-Driven Goodness

Woody’s partners with local farms and small California producers, including Swank Farms, Bad Dog Farms, and others. Our menus celebrate freshness, seasonality, and the simple, beautiful techniques Chef Wood is known for.

Compliments from guests often begin with the same line:
“The ingredients speak for themselves.”
