    As fans of Top Chef, we can only hope to one day taste the food that comes from the minds and hands of the chefs we’ve watched for so long and grown to respect. Stephanie’s flagship location delivered in every aspect. Despite it being a full house, our small group felt like we’d been transported to our own little world where we were the only diners that mattered. Everything from the bread that began the meal and the cocktails that complimented every bite to the pork shank and laughs with our bar tender that concluded the meal was a journey I will always think about and an experience I will always be grateful for. Excellent and creative food that was always seasoned perfectly.

    1 st time diners - I never go close to the city, but L.Woods looked intriguing and I had to find a place close to my dining partner. BEST CHOICE I have made on a place for lunch. We were seated immediately, our server, Esteban was wonderful. The drinks were perfect and the meal was exceptionally flavorful and delightful. I could not have found a better place to go. I had the chopped salad and my friend had the bacon burger. Just an all-around fantastic experience. It really was like being in a high-end Wisconsin supper club! I cannot say enough good things about it. I will absolutely be back and I will highly recommend it to all my friends! Thank you for a great experience L. Woods!

    Very good service, noise level high. Recommend the chicken kabob, but forget the onion soup. Request to sit by the fireplace. Cozy.
