Bentley's

Bentley's adopts an affluent English gentlemen's club feel and is Woodstock's best choice for lunch. The dining room, set beyond an Anglophilic bar, affects a Victorian elegance, though it's not ostentatious. Lunch is the time to pick up one of the juicy burgers, barbecue plates, stews, flatbreads, or highly creative sandwiches (grilled chicken with Gouda, mango chutney, and almonds, for instance). The dinner menu leans more toward resort standards such as chicken and shrimp pescatore and steak flambéed tableside with Yukon Jack bourbon, but also cracks its doors to admit slightly more ambitious fare such as duck with apricot and plum sauce. It's often quite crowded here at night, when it becomes the closest thing in town to a "scene" after 10pm (a top women's magazine recently tabbed it as a "hot spot," though that's a reach); reserve a table. At the fine brunches on Sunday, try New England corned-beef hash with poached eggs and hollandaise sauce.
