ChicagoistAugust 1, 2014There’s something glorious about sauntering home with a cone of hot pommes frites in your hand, dipping each shoestring potato in your choice of sauce before popping it in your mouth. Read more
Chicago TribuneAugust 1, 2014The richly satisfying chocolate fudge cake, which stretches dramatically across the plate, is flanked by black raspberry ice cream, black raspberry puree and creme fraiche. Read more
Amy WallochJune 13, 2014Can't say enough great things about this place. Patio was perfect for a summer night. Staff was beyond nice and the food was fantastic. Reco the carrot and burrata small plates. Short ribs, heavenly!!
Impeccable,unique and exquisite dinners. Ambiance is amazing. Bryan, our waiter was very personable. Gustavo, my favorite bartender, makes the most creative bevvys ever. I love everything about Wood!
Linda FelterAugust 15, 2014I couldn't get enough of the gnocchi in the roasted chicken breast dish. Also a huge fan of the flatbread! Great people watching on the patio.
Kelly SchneiderFebruary 28, 2016Potato gnocchi is amazing for an appetizer, we split the short ribs and scallops and both were delicious. We will definitely go back!- Stephen HayesNovember 3, 2017Order the Earls Anatomy, it's delicious and it comes in a tiny glass bathtub!
- Chicago TribuneAugust 1, 2014The veggie-focused will love the mezze, a texturally varied platter of charred eggplant, labne, tabbouleh, falafel and black tahini. Read more
Don't miss the charcuterie, country ham flatbread, tagliatelle, braised short ribs and the fried chicken when they're on the menu.- Dre-Marie StilesJanuary 11, 2014Absolutely delicious!!!! Amazing ambiance!!!! Must go. Try the Sweet Potato Tortellini and the Country Ham Flatbread!
Anastasia BelozertsevaJanuary 24, 2014The brunch menu is pretty small but oh, so delicious. I loved the polenta, reminded me of my childhood.- Chicago TribuneAugust 1, 2014House-made focaccia is a $5 up charge that's well worth the investment. The bread is very good, tall and spongy as it should be. Read more
Redeye ChicagoAugust 3, 2014Consider a mid-evening bite at rustic-inspired Wood, where the seasonal food menu more than holds its own alongside artfully presented cocktails. Read more
Bruce PhillipsSeptember 30, 2012After 10PM go around the back and get an order of Truffle Aioli pomme frites directly from the kitchen. AMAZING and only $5.
Corned beef hash is the busy I've ever had. Mimosas are delish and the garlic sausage... WOW! Excellent breakfast!!
Lisa PatelDecember 22, 2014Vegetarian done right! Pumpkin pasta dish was amazing. Gnocchi was like none I've ever had
Amanda CooperOctober 3, 2012Great cocktails, staff, and we loved the bacon flat bread pizza! A new favorite in Boys Town!
J. ChicagoOctober 10, 2012good drinks, friendly bartender, great chic atmosphere without the pretension- The steak tartare and the braised short ribs are to die for
- Patrick TimmerdingAugust 12, 2013The fried chicken small plate is 'like chicken dipped in yummyness!' :)
Really cute owner! He looks like a cross between superman and a lumberjack
David HoltzAugust 6, 2016This place is pretty pricey, but overall the food / drinks were high quality.
Deb Bacon-GeorgeDecember 14, 2012Not very active in helping guests at the bar. First impressions always hurt.
Matthew PattersonSeptember 29, 2013Brunch was decent. Slow service and mediocre bloody Mary's. Nice patio
Emily JurlinaAugust 20, 2014A little pricy. Skip the burrata. It's so small and not worth the price.
