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.

    Excellent food, but noise level was terrible. Also, the seating arrangement for six people was not very comfortable, making it very difficult to hear those across the table from. The service was also excellent.

    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.

    Had never heard of Wood but wanted to try it out as we were in chicago for one night, and it was absolutely incredible. I had the duck breast with sweet potatoes and blood orange jus. My husband had the steak with potatoes and a glaze. Everything was so much more than we could have ever expected. I can't speak highly enough or recommend the food enough here. They really out did themselves, and I'll be thinking about that duck for the rest of my days! If you've never been i highly recommend this restaurant!!!!

    We tried three appetizers and three mains - the lamb saddle, duck, and mushroom pasta. Everything was beautifully prepared and absolutely delicious! In addition to being attentive and competent, the staff was very kind. We had an 18 month old child with us, and while she wasn't noisy, she was active and we took up a bit more space than technically was ours. The staff was very accommodating and thoughtful.
