Wood

Incredible menu that is constantly changing. Was recommended this restaurant by a coworker and we went here for our anniversary. We got champagne on the house and awesome service. Food was incredible, tasty, and our server (I forgot his name but he had glasses and worked 5/29/24 on the patio, was incredibly kind and friendly. Great recommendations. Loved the happy hour cocktails as well. We will be back!

I haven't had a dining experience quite like this in years. The Slagel Farm Chicken Breast was more than just a meal-for this Alabamian, it was a journey back in time to my great grandmother's kitchen table. The chicken, roasted to perfection with herbes de Provence, was rich with flavor, but the real star for me was the 'chicken pot pie' with its made-from-scratch crust. It was buttery, flaky, and paired perfectly with the farm-fresh fall vegetables. Each bite brought warmth and nostalgia, taking me back to those cherished family dinners. The combination of the velvety sauce velouté and the smooth pomme purée added a luxurious touch that elevated the dish even further. Truly, a memorable culinary experience that felt like home.

During a leisurely walk in Chicago, my friends and I stumbled upon Wood and were immediately drawn to its inviting patio. We decided to give it a try, and it turned out to be a fantastic choice! The staff were friendly and offered excellent suggestions that enhanced our dining experience. We started with Wood’s Biscuits, which were so delicious that we ended up ordering a second portion. The fluffy, flavorful biscuits were a true highlight. For the main course, I opted for Wood’s KFC, a delightful twist on fried chicken Korean style with a sweet and sour glaze. It was a perfect balance of crispy and tender, with a unique flavor that left a lasting impression. Wood is a great spot for a casual yet memorable meal, especially if you enjoy dining on a charming patio. The combination of delicious food, excellent service, and a pleasant atmosphere makes it a must-visit. Highly recommended!

brought my mom here for a late mother’s Day dinner and the food was DELICIOUS! i had the beef stroganoff and my mom the roasted chicken with potatoes. our server Santi was super sweet and helpful — even gave me a glass of champagne to celebrate my graduation. I would definitely visit again just to try the roasted chicken 😊

Went there twice for cocktails. Delicious, well-made craft cocktails in the area. 🍹 #mixology #craftcocktails #cheers

I like the dinner menu better than the brunch menu, but it's good. Enjoyed the burger and the pasta.

Excellent food that blew us away. They were out of the KFC but we tried the steak and it was perfect. Our server was really cool and explained everything perfectly.

This was an awesome dining experience. Absolutely excellent service, unique drinks, and the food was delicious. The menu changes often which makes it fun to go back to. Honestly, there are so many menu items that I struggled to pick. I landed on the steak and it was incredible. Highly recommend for a date night or a fun group outing with friends.

We went to Wood and sat at the bar. I had a delicious well made martini and they had multiple dark rums for my husband. We had a delicious curry squash soup. The harvest salad was a little drippy but the ingredients were delicious and I would order again. We split the burger which was very, very good. Linda was our bartender/server and she took very good care of us. I look forward to going back soon.

This was our second time eating here. I only came back to try the Wood KFC fried chicken than my friend had on our first visit. I hate to give this place two stars since the food is so good! But the waiter we had this time around did not know the menu at all. We ordered a Pina Colada which was on the menu, he acted like we were making it up. Someone else came to help him and offered an alternative "better drink" - her words- Again, apetizers and entrees were so good, and I really loved the Wood KFC fried chicken. The waiter was acting weird through out the dining experience. When were done eating, the waiter offered dessert and brought us the dessert menu. I made my choice and asked for one of the options, then the waiter said "let me ask the kitchen if they can prepare it for you" I was in awe, since he offered the desserts. We just asked for our check, paid and left. Not sure if we're going back. The place is nice and cozzy - perfect for a date before heading to the club. I might try once more and change the review if I get better service.... because really, it was all on the waiter, unfortunatelly

Great dinner option in boystown! Awesome vibe. The menu is small, but everyone enjoyed what they ordered. I had the Slagel Farm Chicken Breast, and it was a smorgasbord of flavor. Excellent. Our server was awesome and checked in on us often. Overall a great experience and will definitely recommend and come back.

Why bother asking how the meal is if you truly don't care? Drinks took forever...food not much better and overcooked fish is never a good thing. Don't waste your time/money when in such an amazing food city. Not a viable option...

I really enjoyed my first visit here. It's very cool yet cozy inside, and the tables are all spaced out far enough apart so people aren't on top of each other, which is great. There's also a very nice outdoor patio. Service was fantastic (thank you to our server, Nick, for being awesome). Our party began the night with two rounds of cocktails. Honestly, this was the only big miss of the night for me, and although the cocktails were extremely well-crafted, they just weren't to my taste. I ordered the Jigglypuff 2.0 first, admittedly just because the name made me laugh. It was so incredibly sweet that after a few sips I knew if I drank more, I'd be sick. Then I tried the Seersucker, which was good (my husband loved it), but just was not for me. Next time I'll try something else or stick with wine, as they have a great wine list and I enjoyed the bottle we had with dinner. The food we had was fantastic. We started with two appetizers, the porchetta tonnato (so good and so innovative!) and the spicy Italian flatbread (delicious!). Everyone at my table chose a different entree and enjoyed it. I had the mafaldine con agnello all'arriabiatta, which was quite good. There was much more meat in it than I expected, too: I assumed there would just be a bit mixed in with the sauce, but you get a ton of lamb along with the pasta, and the sauce has a great kick to it. For dessert, we shared the strawberries and cream, which was also extremely unique. I liked it but didn't love it as much as my dining companions did and will likely try something else next time. And there will definitely be a next time, because this place is really good.

Update: there is obviously new management since both the service and food quality have dropped.

Food: 5/5 Got the rigatoni ragu and the wood burger 2.0. Both PHENOMENAL. The beef fat frites grossly good. Service: 5/5 Decently quick, but never felt rushed. Server was relatable and funny. Ambiance: 5/5 Not too bright, not too dim. Large bar seating for post dinner drinks. Music playlist was playful and light. Loud enough to enjoy the music, but quiet enough to hear my own conversation. Will definitely be back!

I was really looking forward to this pre-concert dining event. I haven't been to Wood for several years. Love the food. But the dining experience was insufferable. This place is unbelievable loud. I seriously could barely have a conversation with my partner across our table, but the table next had two customers essentially screaming to be heard. I don't care how good the food is, if the space you curate is inhospitable for a nice night out, what's the point? (Oh, our expensive check.)

Everything here was excellent from the service to the drinks and the food. I had the Jigglypuff's Revenge and it turned out to be the best cocktail I have ever had. I had the Rigatoni Ragu for dinner and it was the best! So flavorful. We had four in our group and everyone loved their meal.

My boyfriend and I had dinner at Wood for Valentine's Day, and I need to come back to eat the rest of the menu. We chose to have several appetizer to share instead of entrees, and I recommend that route. The Escargot Vol Au Vent alone was worth the outing. If you are reluctant to try escargot, it was very reminiscent of a mushroom flavor. The Steak Tartare was very good, and I wish it had a poached egg in top. The pork belly was crazy good. I want to go back to sit at the bar. It was a very romantic space, and I had a perfect night!

We made reservations for brunch, and got seated right away. We started off with a Bloody Mary and an order of their beignets. The Bloody Mary was delicious and perfectly made, with a spicy kick to it. The beignets here were good, but not even close to what a beignet is. These were more like donut holes. My wife ordered their Fried Chicken & Biscuit. The chicken was perfectly fried and covered in country gravy and hot sauce. It was served with a side of beef fat fried potatoes. These were addicting to eat. I ordered their Huevos Rancheros. This dish came with two fried eggs with queso fresco and pico de Gallo on top and two tortillas with beans on the bottom. It was also served with the same beef fat fried potatoes. Overall the dish was very tasty.

Came here on a Friday night out and were able to get a table promptly even though we were 30 minutes early for our reservation. Staff was prompt and kind especially when there was a miscommunication about which dish we got. We ordered the heirloom tomatoes and burrata and the steak tartare, but also received the heirloom toast. All three were delicious including the toast which isn't something I'd have ordered but was amazing (and comped after the miscommunication was discovered)! We then had the 3.0 burger and the rigatoni ragu which were out of the world! Oh and the presentation of the tomato and burrata was exquisite 10/10. Mateo was a great server and the support staff always made sure we had the right plates etc at the right time and kept the table orderly. Great jobs all around!

First, the host was super approachable! The place is nice inside and cozy. There patio is excellent, great for people watching. My cocktail is so good and I'm picky but this is bomb! Lastly, my waiter is so accommodating, like really good at his job!

Love the venue. The food is decent. However. Our server was obviously stoned out of his mind. We ordered an espresso martini and two vodka sodas. The server/waiter brought us two IPA's and asked if it was ours. We were so confused because we already had our drinks o our table. I ordered the BimBimBop and he waited to till I was done with my meal (like last two bites) to bring the sauce out. He did bring me ketchup to go with it ... I was so confused. This place has a lot of potential but they need to hire better staff.

If you have dietary restrictions, beware! This restaurant changes menu quite frequently and they don't update their website to match their current menu, which you'd think would be a simple thing to do in 2024. Being a vegetarian, I looked at their web menu and convinced myself that there are two vegetarian entree options for me, made a reservation and went there with my out of town friends, one of whom is also a vegetarian. Once there, we found that none of the 16 entrees (yes none out of SIXTEEN) is vegetarian and the server was like the only veg option is creste di gallo al farmaggio and we will just keep ham out :( Also, they provide menu only with QR code - my friend's phone battery died and we asked the server if he can provide paper menu for him and they didn't have one. What puzzles me here is QR code sends you to the latest menu hosted online, so i have no idea why they couldn't publish it in their public facing website so people with dietary restrictions can decide for themselves ahead if they want to go there?

Every time I come here I taste something utterly AMAZING. This time it was the shrimp in this pasta and the escargot. I want to describe exactly how amazing it was but the dishes change pretty frequently and everything is absolutely delicious. All the flavors of every dish compliment each other so well and just bring a sense of nostalgia with every bite. I make sure to come to Wood every time I'm back in town so anxiously waiting until my next visit! Food: 10/10 Service: 7/10 Experience: 6/10 Value: 7/10

Stopped in after going to a play in the area and what a great find! The weather was nice enough to sit outside and enjoy the sights of BoysTown. We had the cheese board, which was absolutely delicious. Such a different mix of cheeses and a nice raspberry compote. We both had the chicken breast, which was to die for. Absolutely delicious and the sides with it were perfect. We will definitely be going back!

Very nice, good attention,and very delicious appetaizers, wine menu. Nice decoration.

I have to be honest here. I was disappointed because we came for the shortribs based on online reviews, but they did not have this dish. CONS: We decided to stay and tried the beef bourguignon, but it was terrible. Literally, it was not good at all. It was not tender, the flavor was not good, it was nasty. No other way to say it. I hope management sees this and takes it off the menu. Both of us felt it was very bad, so it wasn't a one-off. Maybe it's an acquired taste? Idk PROS: The good part was that the waiter told management that we were not happy with the dish (we did not ask him to get/tell mgmt), and they took one entree off of the bill. They also gave use a free order of beignets, which were delicious. The customer service here is awesome, and the staff and management should be commended for their efforts. We did not ask for anything free or for any order to be removed from the bill, so their initiative was notable. Because of the great customer service, we will be back to try something new, and will update this review at that time.

Stopped in early last evening (Saturday) for a few drinks. Sat at the bar with my GF. The bartender was terrific and the drinks were excellent. I've had their food in the past and it's definitely high end bar fare. The vibe and the service were most on display this time there.

We had a reservation for 6:45pm on a Friday evening. When we arrived it was crowded so we were thankful we made a reservation. Half of our group ordered from Wood's restaurant week menu and the other half ordered from the regular menu. We appreciated the fact that Wood did not require our entire party to choose from either the restaurant week or regular menu. I personally ordered from the restaurant week menu and chose the escargot, pork, and strawberry shortcake. Everything I ordered was delicious - I was so full that it was hard for me to finish my dessert! Side note - my friend ordered the steak tartare and that was also super delicious! Overall great food, drinks, and service! I'm definitely thinking of coming back to try their Wednesday happy hour special.

Loved every part of my experience at Wood! Can't wait to come back and try even more food and drinks :). I came to Wood on the recommendation of a friend, who told me that the Head Chef here is very talented and has Michelin Star restaurant experience. I was not disappointed. Every dish I tried was absolutely delicious. The pasta is made fresh in-house, and was so so tasty. They have a varied cocktail menu as well, featuring classics as well as some unique ones. I had a Moscow mule and it was solid. The portion sizes weren't huge, but on the upside, that means you might be able to try some more dishes without filling up! The prices were mid-range (high $20s and $30s), but fair in my opinion, considering the quality of food here. The service is excellent. Our server was warm, attentive, and very quick. This is an excellent place to bring company, old friends or new, where you can be certain to have a terrific meal. Wood is my favorite restaurant in Boystown, and I say that with great confidence!

Please hire a customer friendly bar staff. The Bartender (male) Thursday evening 2.22.24 never said hello, never smiled, never said thank you after paying the bill. You used to have the best waiters and bartenders. What happened? Drews knows how to treat customers. Please fix your staff and we will come back. We used to eat at WOOD 3 x's a month when you had good staff in 2022-2023.

The food was excellent. The cocktail wasn't my favorite. We had an 8 or 8:30pm reservation and by then they had run out of the escargot, the lamb dish and the chateaubriand. So, get an early reservation if you are interested in these type of dishes.

We were in Chicago for our daughter's recent college graduation ceremony and needed a nice place to celebrate. Wood looked amazing on Yelp and it didn't disappoint. We had reservations for 5 on a Friday evening and happy we had a chance to dine at Wood. Food: To feed our hungry party of five we ordered a number of small and large plates for our table to share. Each dish was excellent with the standout dishes being the Confit Duck Leg, the Pork Duo, and Escargot. We were able to introduce our daughter's roommates to the Duck and Escargot which they'd never experienced before and they really enjoyed them. They also had a wide variety of wine, craft, cocktails, and spirits that really enhanced our experience. Service: Great service from arrival to final course. Our server guided us through the appropriate number of small/large plates for our party and made excellent suggestions on pairings. Wait staff checked on our party frequently ensuring our evening went very smoothly. Atmosphere: Loved the space and we were able to get an outdoor table with perfect weather. Enjoyed dining on their patio which also let us people watch as folks enjoyed a pleasant Friday evening. Value: Good value on both food and drinks with prices for just about all budgets. Based on the quality of ingredients, presentation, and service, the cost of the meal was more than reasonable for a special occasion. Overall: Great location, delicious dishes, and solid service would bring me back to Wood if we find ourselves back in the area.

The place is spacious, looks ok. We wanted to sit outside, but it was raining, so we had to sit inside. We were a big group. Two of us ordered chicken, but the waiter came later to tell us they have just one chicken portion. I had to change my order and wasn't very happy about it, since the chicken was the only thing that I liked from the menu. Luckily, the flat bread that I changed my order to was very, very good! Caloric but tasty, mmmm .

Let me start with: I love this place. Also: This place has a heated outdoor patio. It's great. The staff is super friendly and accommodating. They made sure we were all toasty outside with their heating elements. Ours went out and they did the whole rigamarole to find a new propane tank and get it going again. And the food is fantastic. We've been here a handful of times over the years and I always enjoy my meal. But this last trip got enough weird to really knock a couple stars off what I think the place could be. We were a party of 2. And ordered a single dish: a steak made for 2 people. Med rare. It came with 2 sides. Roasted Brussels and mashed potatoes. This single steak dish took over an hour. About 40 minutes into the wait, we thought it seemed to be taking awhile. So we asked about it. Our host mentioned they looked like they were wrapping it up. Should be out soon. But then it took another 20 minutes. Something got screwed up. Manager came out after the food was delivered and apologized for the delay. "Kitchen was backed up". Great. We hadn't even complained at all. But the wait was clearly extraordinary for him to think he needed to come out and chat. We saw other people getting food. Felt like this wasn't just a backup. Regardless of what it was felt like maybe knock our single $9 drink off the bill? Or offer a little something 40 minutes into wait like some bread? Just not a great meal tonight. Had to scarf the meal down and get out of there. Was still delicious. But pretty disappointing experience this time. Will be back though. Nitpick: would be awesome if Wood had a non-alcoholic drink menu since the bartenders here are really creative. They made one for me anyways and I enjoyed it.

Very slow service. Tiny portions. They charged 5 dollars to pay with credit card. Avoid this restaurant.

Did not have any plans to come here at all, but took a chance after randomly passing by on a walk, and really glad we did! They have a cute little patio on the side free from the main street foot traffic. Tables are a bit wobbly, but seats are comfortable and we weren't all crammed into the space. Ordered off the happy hour menu (Wednesday nights!) and essentially got a free drink! HH menu had three different burgers, a flatbread, and a pasta. Burgers are hefty and juicy- so much so that the bottom bun got soaked halfway through. Beef fat frites are A+++! Overall: good drinks, satisfying food, attentive service!

This place is an omnivore's playground. Like all the best chefs on the planet, Devin Kreller cooks with no restrictions and only one goal: make good food. And that is what he does. Putting his background as a butcher to full use, Kreller uses the whole animal and a deep knowledge of French gastronomic technique and global flavors to create unique plates that you'll probably want to lick clean. Start with a delectable, easy to nom take on a Caesar salad and maybe some escargot toast. Don't skip the rabbit loin, Korean fried chicken leg and thigh, or probably the best prime steak you'll ever eat. It's also worth mentioning they make their pastas from scratch too. Ramp pesto pasta? Never had anything like it which is a damn shame. Chic digs, top notch service with just the right amount of cheekiness, and a relaxed pace make for a night to remember.

Came for a birthday celebration and had the best time with friends! Menu is group-friendly; with a large selection of shared plates for a reasonable price. The restaurant also acknowledged my friend's birthday with free confetti cake at the end of the meal. Wood is a great spot for dinner before heading out in Boystown!

Let me start by saying, I have been here a hand full of times and the food is always delicious, some times service is hit or miss, but the food is the draw. Tonight was a pretty terrible experience with the food. The Escargot was very Unappealing, it looked like green soup and it was smeared all over the bowl. The charcuterie board looked like it had been sitting out for a while before it was Served and the meat was cut wayyyyy to thick. I will say the waiter was amazing and lovely and kind. They did mention the kitchen was short staffed, but the food came out in great time, just in poor condition. The wine we had was also great. But after this experience, not sure i will be back.

Fantastic vibe. Drinks were good, nothing groundbreaking. I think the Cesar salad was the best Cesar I've had in my life. We really enjoyed our meal

This place is fine. I do not let one thing ruin a whole experience but if the staff are a reading these kindly let people know there is a dessert option that takes 45 minutes to prepare. It's a nice thing to do

For a special Christmas dinner, and after reviewing options from many restaurants, we ordered carry out food from Wood. We could not have been more pleased with our decision! First of all, it was a bonus that they were actually open on Christmas Day for pick-up. That helped assure that the food was going to be as fresh as possible on that day. Pick-up was easy and everything was well packed with excellent preparation instructions. But the food... oh my, the food was over the top delicious and of the highest quality. We ordered Beef Wellington, Roast Chicken, Potato Gratin, Roasted Root Vegetables and Winter Squash Soup. The soup came a garnish of roasted apples and veggies, candied pepitas and crème fraîche. It was silky smooth and rich in flavor. The Beef Wellington had a wonderful pastry and the meat was perfectly cooked, tender and delicious. The Roasted Chicken, although simple, had a wonderful depth of flavor and was plump and juicy. The potato and vegetable sides were the perfect accompaniment for our holiday meal. The portions were incredibly generous and we had enough food for three meals... so it was a relative bargain. This is a tough time for our restaurants... please considered ordering carry out food from Wood to help support them. You will not regret it. And please tip generously!!

Let me start by saying the food was tasty. But that's where the positives end for this restaurant. This was my first time dining here and it will also be my last. The service was the worst part. Our server wasn't friendly at all; borderline rude in fact. He rarely checked back in with us after taking our initial drink order. Food preparation by the kitchen was painfully slow. They had the nerve to charge $25 for the smallest bowl of spaghetti; smaller than a cereal bowl. So small in fact that I laughed when the runner placed it on the table. The atmosphere was crazy loud inside and we were freezing the whole meal since they had the A/C on full blast as rain was pouring down outside. All in all, not a good first impression and disappointing meal out with my other half. For the prices this place charges it needs to do better!

Came with a group of friends for Sunday brunch and I am glad we had reservations because there was a party going on. We started the meal off with a carafe of mimosa and it was the perfect size for our group. For the table, we also got the beignets and buttermilk biscuit. The beignets were more like donut holes; they weren't fried and fluffy like what beignets are supposed to be like. They were actually quite dense and tasted like cake. The buttermilk biscuit was pretty good; I liked the sides that it came with. All of our entrees came at a good pace. Everything was flavorful and satisfying. I would recommend Wood to anyone who is in the area.

Delicious food and cocktails. It definitely earned its praise from Michelin as the prices are pretty standard for a "decent city restaurant" EXCEPT this place is far better than decent. The pasta I got could have been at a far pricier place (same price but would be half the size) it was that good. The staff is also super friendly!

This place is NOT kid friendly. I took my daughter and her grandparents for what I thought would be a nice dinner out in the neighborhood. While the appetizers and entrees were great, they took over an hour to bring my daughter's dinner out. And we requested lightly buttered noodles! When it finally came out, the noodles were sitting in a pool of butter. I requested that they redo it with LIGHT butter and, again, it came out soaked in butter. The food is great but it's pretty appalling that they can't get a simple child's dish right. Will never bring my daughter back here.

They're overpriced and a bit Fayette to the wanna be's. Just go somewhere that you can enjoy the meal. No fake dressing up or perceived preceptions.

Food was great service leaves much to be desired. Waiter started off by telling us how they had 100 other things to do that night.

They will say they are accessible to wheelchairs but they are not for indoors. Found the staff to be rude as I called prior and was twice told they would accommodate my reservation. Called 15 minutes before my arrival to give fair warning and was told they would accommodate me upon my arrival. Waited outside for ten minutes with no acknowledgment and when hostess did come she acted as if I was putting HER out even though I had a reservation at 7:15 that clearly stated a need for wheelchair seating. I finally cancelled my reservation as they could not accommodate the step into the restaurant as they did not have a ramp. Before I could leave the Chef/maybe owner came out to apologize which was very nice but his staff had already sent me down a path of no return. I am not a wheelchair advocate per se but I make an effort to plan to ensure I can be accommodated so was very disappointed by my experience and the response from the staff. It doesn't take much to say I am so sorry we made a mistake with our indoor seating accommodation but could we possibly make it work at a table outside? Rather than let me see what tables we might have available as we have had multiple parties arrive in the last 15 minutes. At some point in time I have been inside the restaurant pre-pandemic so not sure what happened to the wheelchair accessible path inside.

Have been meaning to come here for a while now and it did not disappoint. I had the Coq au vin with spaetzle. Honestly it was so smooth that I wasn't even sure it was chicken. It was so perfectly made. We also had the steak tartare as an appetizer and we ate the entire thing. Vanilla caramel ice cream for dessert and the whole Experience was just great. Will definitely be back.

Went here on a date and it was so nice! Our waiter was awesome and had great recommendations for us. We had the Spicy Italian Flatbread and then split the Ribeye for 2. I could eat 5 more of those flatbreads let me tell you. It wasn't really that spicy which was nice. But the meat and the ricotta cheese on it was really fantastic. Then the steak came with purred potatoes and roasted vegetables, both of which were amazing. The steak was cooked medium rare and was kind of hard to cut without a steak knife because of the rareness and fat. But nonetheless, it was fantastic. I've been recommending this to all my friends!

Great cocktails. Limited menu for food but that is fine as everything is delicious. Great beer selection. Kind and generous staff. Hours are weird sometimes but great spot.

We waited forty-five minutes for our food. The food was cold when it was finally brought to us. The individual who brought us the food came rushing to the table shouting loudly about the plates being hot...but the food was cold. The manager apologized and claimed they were swamped because they had a large party. However, if the food was cold, it was probably sitting around. Which means there was a huge misstep in service. Our server, while kind and professional, only checked in with us one time during the forty-five minute period. I will not be attending this restaurant again because this experience was flat out disrespectful. As I stated to the manager, I can go to the restaurant across the street and get my order, eat and pay my bill in 45 minutes. I can appreciate that restaurants have challenging days but I do think the people working there have a responsibility to communicate with customers. I hope people reading this review and deciding to give them a chance will have a better experience that we did.

I went with a friend here last minute and got in easily on a Thursday night, which was empty on the inside but had the entire patio full. The decor was very cute, I loved the orange booths but they almost reminded me of bottle service club seating. Very large bar in the center as well with a broad spirit selection. The food was excellent overall. The Catalpa Grove Pork Belly was absolutely amazing but I wish we got a larger portion of the meat, it seemed to have a bread below it to fill the plate. The steak tartare was very yummy and I loved that they used potato chips it added such a great saltiness. The Rigatoni Ragu was my favorite, the beef shank was cooked perfectly and very flavorful. Creste Di Gallo Con Formaggio was also very tasty. Both pastas were a good portion, my friend and I were starving that night clearly and were happy to try so many great plates. My only downside is there did not have any paper menus, only QR codes to scan. When we asked for menus they said there's none printed and it would take awhile to get them. This is just a personal preference since I prefer to put my phone to the side during a meal and enjoy my friends company without distracts.

We have walked past WOOD for almost 3 years thinking it was primarily a bar. Then a Yelp review caught our eye with great comments on some favorite foods so we had to stop in. Because it was a Wednesday night their were several specials to help too. Since we prefer to avoid meats we started off with the Gazpacho accompanied by the Mushroom& Onion Flatbread. I have never been a fan of Gazpacho, but this was fantastic. The Mushroom & Onion Flatbread was the perfect earthy balance to the Gazpacho's bright sweet flavor. We followed this with the Special Radiatore with mushroom cream sauce, which was paired with a local draft ale. Again a home run! I suggest you eat this slowly to savor its delightful slow dance on your tongue. Each of these choices were suggested by our marvelous waiter "Tuna". Thanks dude! It helped that it was a delightful night to sit outside under the awning with a light rain and cool breeze on a warm summer night to set the mood. The cicadas serenaded us all the while.

My partner and I really enjoy this place. Food is always tasty, ambience is perfect for a relaxing night out, and service has always been friendly. If you go on a busy night, chances are that food will take a while to be served, but they have amazing cocktails that never disappoint.
