About this restaurant

  • Neighbourhood gem
  • Innovative
  • Romantic
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.

    The food was alright but it was expensive and left us a little dissatisfied. The appetizers were the best part of our meal. The service was disappointing. Our waiter was rarely at our table and we had to flag him down after waiting 25 minutes. We were celebrating an anniversary and the host asked us if my fiancée even liked me. It was a memorable night but not for the right reasons.

    Every time we visit the kitchen is out of 2 or 3 of the entrees. So annoying.

    Was there with a friend on 12/24. The place was half empty. The service was not good. They seemed to be rushed to get us out of there. I finished my plate and while my friend was still eating they come over and place the check on our table without even asking if we wanted something else or dessert. The french fries had a deep fried old oil taste. I usually like this place but we didn’t have a good experience.

    Wood used to be a place or excellence and a great dining experience. I gotta tell you. The menu is now terrible. The selections are either “not available” or just plain limited, tired, so contrived and undesirable or just plain “phones in” I have been going to WOODs since the doors open and even thru out the pandemic. Have a standing 4-5 week dinner with friends. Employees great. Service great. But last night we lamented about whether it would be around much longer. Menu is awful and $ for what you get. Very sad. They need to seriously step back, listen to staff/customers/self reflect and try to save themselves before it is too late and Lakeview loses a place that has been an institution in our neighborhood. Please Chef an Ownership. Take pause and listen. This is a request to save WOOD

    3 menu items we were looking forward to were not available. The burger was $2 more on the bill than it was on the menu.
