• Contemporary American • Lakeview / East Lakeview
Booked 13 times today
From the kitchen to the bar, everything we serve is defined by a passion for exploring unique flavor combinations. Wood is more than a name: our wood-fired oven is at the heart of it all, enhancing a dynamic menu of small-plate, American fare, made with the peak midwest farm produce each season has to offer. Though the dishes regularly change, they are defined by a few constants: meat is butchered in-house from humanely-raised animals; vegetables are drawn from local family farms; and all pastas and sausages are freshly made. Lead by our talented Executive Chef Devin Kreller, who is a 6-time Michelin Bib Gourmand winner, Chef Devin uses French-dominated cooking techniques combined with multicultural inspirations such as Asian and Italian to create new dishes. Located in the heart of Chicago Boystown, we're known for our brunches, and house butchered meats. Come see why our restaurant has been around for 12 years. For reservations over 10 guests, please call us at (773) 935-9663.

    We had the bottomless brunch option. Good price for the amount of food. The service was a 10 out of 10. I will be back again!

    We shared 3 appetizers, 1 dumpling, the pork belly ( main course), and dessert. The portions are large enough that we were full. Ask your server about the food, as Ukrainian combinations and ingredients seem strange, but work beautifully. Rather than have a cocktail, I had an infusion- a shot of vodka or brandy with a fruit or herbal infusion. I still could not bring myself to do the horseradish one!

    An absolute joy to dine here. We went to the Zoo Lights first and then had an amazing dinner here. Just a 5-10 minute walk from the east gate of the zoo. The service was so great, the food was amazing! For a downtown restaurant, the prices seemed to be reasonable- Would be on my list of places to go again!

    We were here for a birthday dinner and had a lovely time. The service was excellent with a server who had humor and was attentive. The menu is very interesting offering a wode variety of choices and take on trditional dishes like the Garrsoulet I had, a take off of Cassoulet of course. The Lardo and Tomato toast appetizer was delicous and everyones meal was excellent. The prices are on the high side but we were satisfied. I also reccomment the steak tartare and the burger. The atmosphere is elegant but casual and lovely.
