6.5/10The restaurant on the evening we dined had a subdued atmosphere that lacked the desired ambiance. Our server was courteous but seened to be handling the entire half empty restaurant, surprisingly still resulting in a slower pace. The menu featured special interpretations of classic dishes, attempting o reach a level of a Michelin - starred restaurant. One such example was their fish and chips, where the fish was in three small barrels. Instead of being served with chips it was served withby their interpretation of a "swiss roesti" potatoes nothing compared to a roesti and in the shape of three big squares topped off with three serving of tartar sauce. There was more potatoes than fish. The other dish, a vegetarian pasta , which initially had a good flavor for the first few bites. However, the texture and filling did not quite align with my personal preferences. The puree stuffed inside the pasta gave it a soft, almmost infantile quality that I found unappealing. To conclude, the restaurant also offered an array of visually stunning desserts, but unfortunately, the two we chose taste didn't match the aesthetics. Let's just say it was not a party in the mouth. While the experience had its ups and downss, it evident the restaurant put effort into creative presentations and interpretations of dishes. However, there were inconsistencies in service speed and taste that left some room for improvement. Your dining experiences may vary depending on your individual experiences.

8/10The food was exceptional…..in particular the Vitello tonato. Quality and quantity were just right…..and desserts are top notch. Service was both very professional and friendly….also very attentive. A secret gem in Geneva . And prices are very reasonable for this high quality . I highly recommend the restaurant and it will be definitively revisited on our next trip to Geneva.

9/10Excellent food in a nice, Cody and elegant atmosphere. The service was somewhat unequal, with a very nice and professional maître d’hôtel, while some other staff seemed to have little experience or rather inattentive.

6/10We were looking for a special occasion on Christmas Eve for dinner. Totally disappointed and lost hundreds of francs due to inedible, unsafe food. The InterContinental in Geneva hit it out of the park for atmosphere (decorations, live piano, intimate setting on Christmas Eve). However, the chef d'oeuvre -- the family meal -- was anything but. The "kids" oversized burger was served RAW with uncooked, soggy french fries. We were already mystified by the first course, which was "edible" twigs served over a steaming moss swamp. When the restaurant then had the audacity to serve our 5 year old inedible, unsafe food, we had to leave the restaurant out of disgust. What a disappointing experience.

9/10New Year Brunch. Buffet was amazing and they kept it stocked up until mid-afternoon. It wasn’t cheap but there was a lot of choices and a very nice seafood buffet. Slightly disappointed by the choice of main courses but desserts were absolutely spectacular. I only wish they had kept the brunch in the Woods restaurant, rather than the ballroom, which gave it the feel of a corporate event. Overall it was a very nice way to start 2023!

6/10Food is ok but service is bad. We came for a birthday dinner and I asked our waiter well in advance to have a dessert plate decorated with a birthday message; it came without it!! A lady next to our table waited for 40 minutes to order and her remarks about slow service were completely ignored, no apologies offered. And that’s when restaurant was not even half full. For their prices and all the stars, they should do better.

10/10the restaurant Woods itself was closed, but there was an excellent alternative in the lobby serving some Lebanese food - really delicious with a seating near the fire place!

7.5/10Food was good and the service nice but it took ages to get served!. We had to wait an hour to get the starter and then after 2 hours we had to leave with the dessert to take away! There is room for improvement in that area. Don't go there if you don't have at least 3 hours booked for your lunch

10/10What a great food quality, presentation! And our lunch would not have been so perfect without the two waiters who dealt with us who were both professional and very kind.

9/10Staff was very helpful and attentive, we had to wait a little bit until they served us, we were not explained how the brunch works. The quality of food was outstanding. We were sat close to the car entrance, hence, driving noises.

10/10The service is exceptional and the food is great! A really nice terrace with a cool breeze for a quick business lunch. A varied menu with vegeterian and vegan options.

7.5/10Of course COVID-19 measures needs some flexibility from everyone, but having to have a lunch on the lobby of the Intercontinental, instead of the dining room, is simply unacceptable for such a restaurant as the Woods. At least we should get warned about it. I wonder whether next time we'll get our food in plastic cupboards and have to eat on take away in the street...

10/10We came for a Christmas brunch and were not disappointed. The buffet was very nicely prepared, with lots of fresh food, including fish, oysters and lobster. The warm dishes featured a branzino in a salty crust and a succulent cockerel in truffle sauce. The chef pâtissier "painted a wall" with a vast selection of excellent desserts. The staff were excellent, professional and very courteous. We will surely come back.

7.5/10Hard to judge due to summer holidays. Fewer items in the buffet and of course fewer guests....leading to less offering. However, the main items were present and it's hard to walk away disappointed. Service is excellent especially the managers present are very welcoming. Just remember the brunch buffet being fuller and more items available ....but overall good.

4.5/10In spite of a perfect setting on a nice quiet terrace, by a perfect weather, and a decent enough service, the overall rating cannot be higher as food was quite bland and not easy to digest but also insanely overpriced for standard brasserie food. 2 beers, 1 bottle of water, 2 expressos and two basic main courses for CHF 180 before service.

7/10I found the portions ridiculously small, so did my friends, and had it not been for the rich dessert we would have still been hungry. The service was impeccable, the waitress extremely polite and professional. No 'Christmas' spirit (for a 24th December evening) at all.

5.5/10At this price, customers should not be bothered when they ask anything that is not that extraordinary like eggs. Moreover, a friendly smile also belongs to service quality. As for the food itself, there is a good variety but way less quality as the one I used to find there a couple of years ago.

6.5/10Despite specifying on the reservation that the meal is a very special occasion, the head waiter wa staying to sit us at the worst table in the hall. When we asked if we can have more convenient table, thee answer wa they they are booked by other clients. Discgraceful.

5.5/10Staff were really nice and we were given an excellent table although the family changed it, but their original choice of table was flawless. The choice of food from the buffet was however really limited and dissapointing. Not as it used to be.
