Wood

Since 2012, Wood restaurant has served as an upscale casual dinner and drinks destination in the heart of Chicagos Northalsted neighborhood on the northside of the city. With accomplished Executive Chef Devin Kreller (Bellemore, Sixteen, North Pond) at the helm, Woods kitchen presents seasonably inspired shareable plates focusing on local farm produce, house-butchered meats, house-made pastas, charcuterie, and flatbreads from the wood-fired oven. Chef Krellers timeless French-dominated cooking techniques combine with peak-season produce and responsibly raised meats from small, family-owned farms to set a road map for the constantly innovative menu. Woods bar program is well known in the area for the whimsical yet nuanced cocktails, also featuring a list of compelling wines by the glass and a wide range of mainstream and eclectic draft beer options. The restaurants name, Wood, is an homage to Owner Franco Giannis father, who was a woodworker for more than 50 years. His family still runs a Chicago-area wood working factory to this day. Woods interiors feature hand-torched cedar wall paneling and an overall masculine aesthetic with elevated touches throughout. Wood is a 6-time Michelin Bib Gourmand winner.
