Woolley's Restaurant

Great dining in the 'burbs'. It's a rare experience when every item ordered, from appetizer to dessert, for a table of four, is outstanding! This was our second trip to Woolley's, and just as good as the first. We were treated like honored guests for our anniversary dinner.

We did bring in 15 year old bottle of wine from our wedding year. I was told this restaurant never charges a corkage fee! I hate bringing my bottles of wine downtown because they charge you to celebrate with them.

The food was a taste delight. Highly recommend this restaurant especially for those that love steak.…

Woolley’s surprised the hell out of me. I guess I’ve always had a negative idea of hotel restaurants. After dining at Woolley’s, I can honestly say that this restaurant broke the mold. The food was top-notch, the service was great and prices were very reasonable. My wife and I were staying at the Embassy Suites by the airport and were too tired to go out for dinner. We decided to walk downstairs and hazard the hotel dining experience. We were seated right away in an open gazebo area that my wife really liked. I had a steak and my wife had an Asian Pasta dish. Both of our dishes were wonderful. I also know a little bit about wine. I asked to see their wine list and was surprised with how many selections they had. We split a bottle of Rodney Strong Pinot Noir 2006. The whole time we were traveling I don’t think we found a fine dining experience that had this particular wine. I really liked the wait staff. Towards the end of the meal, the restaurant manager approached our table and asked out we like our meal. It was really a nice touch. I was extremely pleased with our experience. If we lived closer, my wife and I would be dining their all the time!…

Really, Really Good. I dine quite frequently and I do not give praise easily. I have dined at every fine dining restaurant in the twin cities. I found Woolley's Steakhouse to be a delight. The space is ok, it is in a hotel, but the plants and trees inside are very unique. The decorations of the restaurant are nice but somewhat non-descript.

What the space lacks the food and service make up for ten times. The steaks are just as good as Manny's or Mortons, and you get more with your dinners (starch, veg, salad).

The service really is top notch. Our server Pamela was extremely knowledgeable and helped us with entree choices and also to pick out a nice bottle of cab from thier wine list. The wine list is very nice as well with a lot of choices (200 +).

This restaurant earns a ten from me. I hope it lives up to this experience on subsequent visits. If it does it will be my restaurant of choice for upscale dining.…
