Reviews for WoodWind in Chicago, IL
I really enjoyed the soirée at Woodwind on the 18th floor of Northwestern's Lavin building. It's a bit of a hidden gem. I... attended a fun gathering on their rooftop bar. First order... so hot out...open bar. My Beehive drink was great! It called forhoney in it, but I could not have it due to allergies. Their wait staff quickly had one made just for me with simple syrupinstead. Excellent drink! (Actually the waiter returned with a 2nd without me asking.) The inside of the restaurant isextremely nice. Looks like it would cost a fortune, but it does not. Look up Woodwind online. I have seen their ballroom areafor events that also leads to a patio. Perfect place for a wedding, shower, or business function. And they serve Brunch, aswell. (Be sure to check out their online menu.) With a view to die for, incredible wait staff, the hors d'oeuvres that I triedwere incredible. My fav was the asparagus wrapped in prosciutto topped with balsamic. Mmmmmm, balsamic. My friends tried thedeviled eggs and the little potato chip finger foods. No one was complaining. The nice part was, being sweltering 95° out, theterrace was on the east side in the total shade. I recommend you give it a look online and maybe visit it for your nextbrunch/lunch/dinner. I feel Woodwind is totally worth the visit!! Read more
Came here for a last minute dinner and was not disappointed. The green onion soup was amazing and steak tar tar was so fresh and... seasoned perfectly. I had a smoked old fashioned and the presentation was so cool and you could smell it from across the roomgiving a fajita effect. Read more
Amazing!!!! My friend and I came here and both for the prix fixe menu. So worth it! Our server was super attentive and made our... experience great with his recommendations! We both loved everything we ordered from the ricotta, squash soup, and short ribs.The cocktails were extremely tasty as well! I definitely want to come back again to try more. Read more
I went here for my 4 year anniversary and the staff here made it so special. They answered all of our questions and even... accommodated our request to sit at a table near the window as it has a great view. We did the prix fixe menu and had somecocktails. Each course was delicious and incredibly unique. Honestly for the quality of the food, the cocktails, and theexperience I was shocked to see how reasonable our bill came out to be. Highly recommend !

Found it accidentally and it did not disappoint! Tables were easily available to reserve on the weekday. We got seated near the... window and our service was amazing. It's on the 18th floor with decent views. Food was great, we got the chickpea fries,caralmalized eggplant followed by chicken and waffles, short ribs. Place looks very romantic. Read more
Easiest Michelin restaurant in Chicago for reservation. Made the appointment on Friday and came for brunch on Saturday. Found... actually reservations were not necessary at all. It is located on the 18th in an NW medicine building where hard to pass by withmany empty tables. Courses came usually late, it took almost 2 hrs to finish the 3-course brunch. I had plenty of time to enjoymy drinks. However, I wanted something else to fill in between the courses. Everything was good before the desert. Thechocolate was deathly sweet. However, I prepared for its American house style, but it made me a headache after a bit of it. Howto describe it? When checking out, they gave me a marshmallow. I felt it wasn’t sweet at all.

Went there after my mom's doctor's appointment. We both had burgers...hers off the Prix Fix which offered appetizer and... dessert. We had a Bloody Mary and a margarita, they were good. They offered us cotton candy after the meal, that was a pleasantsurprise. We will go again after her next visit. Read more
