    I love Rail Trail. They are so amazing and giving to the community by doing Teacher’s night and first responder night. Our waitress was very kind and attentive. The food came out quick and was of amazing quality. Every person we spoke to from the host to the waitress to other tables waitresses were so thankful and appreciative of us coming in. It meant a lot to me and I just wanted to say keep it up Rail Trail.

    Overall, we really enjoyed dining at Out of the Woods. The menu offered a very nice variety that you don't see at many restaurants in this area. We had the duck breast and the pistachio crusted haddock and both were outstanding. The service was exceptional. The one small negative was that we sat at the one high table that was too close to the kitchen, so there was a little background kitchen noise, which we could easily have remedied by sitting at any other seat in that section. We look forward to enjoying returning to try the lamb and salmon options at Out of the Woods.
