The name WOODWORK pays homage to the intersection of our passions for wood-fired cooking and barrel-aged spirits.

Food was delicious & felt like they were worth the price. The drinks were good but overpriced. 5oz of wine for $16….. isn’t the norm 6 or 9oz (with the 9 costing around $16?) But despite that would definitely come back

It’s a great experience. The food is just ok. They have a very weird practice of not just checking your ID but recording it and taking your photo. I’ve never received a good explanation for this other than “guest safety” but in an age where identity theft is rampant, it feels invasive and is absolutely unnecessary.
