This is a place that my partner and I always go to in Chicago. We have been 5+ times, and each one has been different but grand! From nonalcoholic drinks to fun takes on food, we love everything.

If you look for a casual dinning nearby the navy pier during lunchtime then this place is not bad. $35/3 course lunch menu with great portion and it has a nice balcony to enjoy summer time in Chicago. Food is ok.

I don't recommend this place. Waiter spilled drinks all over the table and our phones. No apologies or cleaning. He claimed 20% tip was mandatory as he earned ($2/hour) and refused to remove it from the bill. Mediocre quality of ingredients. Surprising that we can find this place in Michelin app.

Such a special place regardless of the season. The views can't be beat and the menu choices are interesting. Food preparation is delicious and beautifully plated. It's fun to bring people here and see their surprise at this hidden gem in the middle of Streeterville. Service is attentive and not intrusive.

If you're gluten-free or avoiding gluten in general I would recommend going somewhere else. I informed the waiter about my dietary concerns and I got a wishy-washy response about "pretty much everything" on the menu could be done gluten-free but that there was always risk of cross contamination. I thought this would be okay, but then when I went to place my order I was told that it would not be gluten free and then something about how they could modify it but it would still have gluten. Very confusing. It was awkward and I felt pressured to order a different dish that the waiter recommended. I was disappointed and I didn't get the impression that I could trust them to handle a fairly simple/common dietary concern. At the end of the meal the waiter asked if I enjoyed the dish and when I said the risotto was disappointing he shrugged and joked about how "yeah, it's just risotto" and that it was nothing special/I shouldn't expect much from it. Given that he recommended the dish instead of my original request it was particularly frustrating because it seemed like he knew he was recommending a mediocre dish.My wife enjoyed her dish and the view was pretty neat but ultimately I can't recommend this restaurant, especially if you have any dietary concerns.

Amazing amazing amazing! The view was perfect, the service was perfect, the drinks were to die for, the food ? I will be back WoodWind!
I have hosted a few events in Woodwind's private rooms and they always do an amazing job. Their event coordinator Rebecca is very helpful and responsive when we are planning. Day-of Sasha and his team always do a great job running the show. I never have to worry about things running smoothly with them.
Vegetarian options: Many vegetarian options on the menu and dishes that are easily modified.
Parking: It is difficult to fine free street parking here, but there are plenty of paid options around here and it is close to the red line CTA.
Wheelchair accessibility: Located on Northwestern's Medical campus, the building is well equipped with ramps, railings, electronic doors, and ample signage. The elevator will take you right up to the restaurant's floor. Staff is also very helpful if you request accommodations at your table.

Best burgers anywhere! Needed comfort food before Thanksgiving. Fantastic. But love other menu items too. Such a lovely view of the city skyline especially with holiday lights on top. A favorite Streeterville restaurant.

Some of the food was really good- the fries and the bacon appetizer. The burger didn't have a lot of flavor and the pork shank with polenta was lacking salt desperately. The pot de crème had smoked whipped cream that was inedible. The complimentary cotton candy was yummy at the end.
Fabulous
This restaurant is in an unconventional space on the 18th floor of a medical building, but do yourself a favor and go anyway. We got the tasting menu and each course was outstanding; creative and packed with flavor. The service was outstanding and we'll paced. I'm sorry it took us so long to find it, but we'll be back.....often!
