   I only tried the yucca fries and the croquettes, but I really enjoyed the atmosphere here and the service. The small plates that I tried were delicious and left me wanting me more (in a good way). I wish I could have tried their other dishes as they sounded really good.

   This place has been a standout since day one. From the cosy inviting interior, on point playlist and food that makes you feel at home. The cinnamon water and chicken pot pie will have me coming back year after year.

   Incredible spot with lovely service and cozy vibes. Every dish hit and the value is incredible. Clearly lots of regulars that came in and out, the owner says hi to everyone and can tell they have a great system going. Will definitely be back for more food and home made sangria!

   We had a fantastic dinner. The yucca fries and croquette sampler were great starters. The chicken pot pie had a flaky crust, and was really delicious, but our favorite was the chicken stew. It was delicately flavored and we chose the creamy polenta which really complimented it. Outstanding!

    Loved this restaurant! Delicious food, cute and attentive waiter, the cook came out to talk to us. We had a 5:30 reservation, so we had sufficient elbow room to enjoy our meal. The restaurant’s noise level was perfect: quiet (and great) music muffled diners’ conversations so it felt private, and our happy laughter didn’t bother anyone. I have sensitive hearing and restaurant noise can be painful for me, but Woodspoon has the perfect balance. Great all-around experience, will definitely be back.

    Food was NOT up to a standard of a Michelin listed restaurant. - Grilled whole prawns lacked any flair and were massive overcooked - Beet salad was fresh ingredients, but just missed for me on the combination - I did like the Yucca fries; the breading is delicate - The Australian Waygu was a bit tough, but good flavor - Wine list was atrocious... big hit for this. Bring your own if you go, or don't go. Servers were the hightlight - actually very good; attentive and amiable. Final rating: All in All nothing really stood out, and I don't see myself returning.

    Wood spoon is a rare gem in the LA dining scene today. Small and intimate, vibrant with families , friends and couples sharing food together. Our server was extraordinary: he had the warmest, brightest disposition, also a rare thing to find these days. He was attentive, patient and kind. The food was homey and delicious. Will definitely recommend to friends and will most certainly return. Thank you!

    Simplicity is the key for a true soulful experience. WoodSpoon delivers outstanding Brazilian recipes prepared with so much love by Natalia Pereira. From delicious appetizer plates to unforgettable dishes for all tastes, desires and cravings. Natalia also offers her signature Sangria and flavored table waters like no other restaurantes. The chicken Potpie is a must, Grelhas (grilled) protein are simply delicious, Picanha, Lamb, whole Branzino.... Everything!!! And close the night with a slice of the Coconut Flan... it completes your experience and will leave you dreaming of more. WoodSpoon is the best kept secret in DTLA.

    Wood Spoon is always my “must eat here” on all my work trips to DTLA. The decadent flavor profiles are bliss to my senses and the environment & staff are so welcoming that it feels like I’m eating at a best friends home. Often the owner/Chef pops out when I’ve been there to thank all her guests. How wonderful to feel a part of this sincere community.

    I chose Woodspoon to celebrate my birthday yesterday, and I’m so happy I did! The food was delicious- we especially enjoyed the chicken bites & yucca fries and the Brazilian pot pie. The service was great- the chef/owner even came out to speak to us when we finished our meal. The server was so friendly and accommodating. We will definitely go back to Woodspoon- maybe even once monthly! I also love that this a black-owned business.

    Woodspoon is a little gem in Downtown LA. My husband and I are visiting LA for a few days and staying downtown. Finding a good restaurant in this area is not difficult but finding this special little place was a highlight. We made reservations for this 30 seat restaurant and were welcomed as long lost friends. We were seated in a quiet spot that had a view of the kitchen. Service was exceptional, the food was wonderful and the prices are quite moderate, except that the wine seemed (or was) a bit overpriced. My Brazilian Chicken Pot Pie was superb. My husband's pork entree was also delicious. Portions are large (maybe a bit too large?). All in all I highly recommend Woodspoon.
