Best Restaurants with a Happy Hour in Jefferson Park

Our waitress was new but gave great suggestions. Food came out in a timely fashion. The drinks were tasty. I had the wings and rigatoni pasta. We also had the crab dip for an appetizer. I had a French 75 and the purple pain killer. Everything was delicious I wasnt a fan of the dip. It was a good experience. My only complaint is the location does not have any parking. Its a lot of near by places and its packed all the time. For a Saturday evening it wasn’t too crowded inside.

The surf and turf special 2 truffle crusted filet medallions and crab stuffed lobster tail was excellent. My boyfriend got the lobster butternut squash ravioli, which was also great. We did a wine tasting before dinner to try out options before we ate. And I always love the tabletop wine decanter. You can really taste the wine better. Our server was also very friendly and helpful . Always fun for a special occasion or date night !

Was recently dining at L. Wood's for my Mother's and for my Brother's birthday celebrations. Mom likes to eat early, so the reservation was for 430PM. We got there and the place was PACKED! We were greeted by the hostess----who was very pleasant and professional----and immediately shown to our table. Our server was Flavio (sorry if I am spelling it wrong) and he and his team gave us incredible service. I had a few questions about entrees, and he was very helpful and informative. Food was awesome. We also took advantage of the Early Bird drink special, which was a great value. All four of their specialty premium Old Fashioned's were only $9 until 5PM. Mom and my wife had the house red wine, also on the early Bird menu. My wife and I both had the Walleye Fish and Chips and loved them. My Mom had a cheeseburger and took a LOT of it home for another meal! My brother had the Brisket burger and his girlfriend had a cheeseburger. Everyone thoroughly enjoyed their meal. For appetizers we shared the calamari. It was awesome! Two of the guests had the French Onion soup which they loved. My wife and I split a Spinach and Avocado salad and we loved it. I was kind of bummed out that I was so full, because we wanted to have the special Salted Caramel Bread pudding, but nobody had any room! L.Wood's and it's predecessor "Bones" (both Lettuce Entertain You restaurants) have been in that same location for close to 50 years. I can see why! I have been there many times, and will go back many more! Thank you Lettuce, and thank you L. Wood's staff! Last year my Mom and Brother were celebrating monumental birthdays, but covid in the family canceled that. This year we got a "re-do" for Mom and Scott and it was AWESOME!!!

Everything was amazing however it was a birthday celebration and although we ordered a dessert a candle or acknowledgment would of been nice. Not recommended for a birthday but will definitely return for dinner. 1st visit at this location, overhead parking was a plus since it was snowing.

A total gym in Lincoln Square if you get a chance, try going Wednesday nights they end up having live tango dancing. Food was delicious. Drinks were amazing.
