Woodland Opens On Flatbush Avenue

Park Slope gets a new restaurant/bar/venue with the opening of Woodland earlier this week.  Brendan Spiro is the Director of Operations for the restaurant group responsible for the new, bi-level venue at 242 Flatbush Avenue (@ 6th Ave).  The same group owns Vandaag in the East Village, a restaurant that received two stars from Sam Sifton shortly after it opened in the summer of 2010.

In addition to two levels, Woodland has an outdoor garden, a private room available for up to 30 guests, a 12-seat bar, and has the capacity to seat upwards of 200 people.  The new space will double as a music venue, as the downstairs lounge will feature DJs and a stage in the main room will host live bands.

A meal at Woodland will not be a cheap one, as a glance at the menu reveals Manhattan prices but, with items like lamb T-bone, venison tartare, and Great Lakes Pike, it could all be worth it.  Perhaps as a result of the rising price of beef costs, the menu features a cheaper cut called bullet steak, though it still fetches $25.  Along with different cuts of meat, the menu has unique items like nettle shake, anchovy dip, and liver croutons.
