The food is well-prepared. Nothing spectacular, but better than average. The din of other patrons and the loud music can make it a bit hard to hear someone not sitting next to you. I'd describe the decor best as "cluttered" - no real theme to it. Service could use some work - there was a bit of attitude from about 3/4 of the staff we encountered. Eye rolls if you don't immediately order a drink, having to dig the specials out of the waitress ("Do you have any specials? What is the soup of the day? What about the quiche of the day? And the couscous of the day?" - all answered as if incredibly difficult tasks) that sort of thing. Meal was well paced, though we did get a few glares when some members of our group decided to visit the restroom at the end of the meal (adding to turnover time). Prices of both food and alcohol were pretty good. That is probably the saving grace of the place. I'd go again if invited, but I won't suggest it when making plans.

Nice restaurant, good food, prices OK! The only issue: the service: too much attitude! The decor is "relax everyone" and the waiters are so snoody !

Sherwood has what is arguable the best atmosphere on Smith Street. The perfect place for a second date. Food portions are small, but well crafted. One appetizer, one entree and one dessert plus six glasses of wine set me back $70, including tip. Garden? Excellent mixture of indoor and out. It's now on my short list.
