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.

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...

Wonderful experience at Wood last night! If you are looking to spend a relaxed evening with elevated New-American fare, this is the option for you. I would not recommend if you are in a rush and trying to get in-and-out. Our server Mark was just the right amount of attentive and the atmosphere on the patio l was wonderful. He prefaced by saying their kitchen is short-staffed so it would be easiest to order everything at once and it might take a bit longer for things to come out. I really appreciated how they were up front about this! My sister asked for them to surprise her with a mocktail and she loved what they delivered. The gazpacho was delicious and had a kick at the end. The mozzarella toast was yummy. The charcuterie board was a fantastic portion for the price and also delicious. If you have the time to enjoy the evening, I cannot recommend this restaurant enough!
