Former Alinea chef Ashlee Aubin (also Home Bistro, Zealous) helms the kitchen at this animated Lakeview eatery. The new American cuisine focuses on fresh and local ingredients as well as dishes from its wood-fired oven. Expect seasonal menus for food and cocktails.

Delightful Evening with great food and staff. Restaurants right now are struggling with finding enough staff. So, it's incredibly refreshing to go to a restaurant that is not only fully staffed, but staffed with a friendly, knowledgeable and efficient staff. Wood was great last night. And, the chef has created an innovative menu was delicious. Each dish had a surprising twist and a flavor profile that was well balanced. We had the Island Hopper Cocktail, Curried Pumpkin Soup, Wood Grilled Ora King Salmon, Duck L'orange, Crispy Fried Slagel Farm Chicken Leg & Thigh, and the Tropical Profiterole for dessert. All were very good. The restaurant is large with two rooms separated by the large bar. There was a lot of energy and the noise level can occasionally peak. But, that also speaks to the energy of the place, which I really enjoyed.

We go to Wood often because the food is imaginative, the drinks delicious, the staff are lovely, and the atmosphere is fun and festive. But this time I was thrilled by the new hand rolled mushroom pasta with beautifully roasted escargot! No rubbery snails here! The duck breast with forbidden rice was fantastic, and the watermelon salad perfectly refreshing! Ooh and the espresso martini is really the best I’ve had! See you soon, Wood, you darling gem!

Very delicious food & drinks. The chicken was tender and the potatoes were crispy and very delicious. The cheese board was also delicious but would have been better if the almomds were mashed to easily spread onto the sourdough bread. I would definitely recommend bringing your bestie, family and a date. It’s pricey but we’ll worth it. Great atmosphere.

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...
