What a great find! Their specials are great suggestions and the atmosphere...inside  or out.... is truly private. I would give them 5 stars but the service is slow. AMAZING food tho,

I wish I could say that I have known Woodfire Grill for years, but sadly it took reality TV to get me acquainted.  My husband and I are both fans of Kevin on Top Chef, so we just had to check this place out. We arrived a little early and sat in the bar area to have a drink.  I ordered the Bradley.  The guy who waited on me in the bar was super, super nice, explained what "shrub" was, and provided recommendations. The Bradley was, without question, the best drink I have EVER had.  It was a beautiful symphony of bourbon and ginger.  It also had the distinction of being the only drink I've ever had that really felt like it was worth $10.  If you go out in the city, you will drop $10 on a drink in many places.  But this really tasted like a $10 drink.  Loved it.  Twice. My husband had the Apricota, which he also enjoyed.  The ambience of the bar area was nice, and everyone was extremely friendly despite the fact that it seemed pretty busy.  I kept hearing people trying to pump the bartenders for details about the outcome of Top Chef.  Poor guys - they must be SO sick of this sort of question. When it was time for our reservation, we were escorted to our table. My husband and I had decided in advance to go all-out by ordering the 5-course chef's tasting menu.  After all, why wouldn't you want your first experience with a restaurant to reflect what the chef thinks are its most exciting items?  Our server seemed really excited about this. Our amuse bouche was "the chef's version of a Waldorf salad."  It had a layer of a cream cheese mixture, a fruit that I think was peach, and...  shoot.  The awesome drinks must have gone to my head, because I have no clue anymore what was on top.  But it was good. The first course was a confit of laughing bird shrimp with vinegar.  It was delicious!  Our server said that although the menu changes daily, sometimes it changes more than others - and this was the first time they had served this dish.  I would definitely eat it again! The second course was two substantial pan-seared diver scallops, served atop a bed of butter beans and accompanied by a lamb jus and a sauce that I think was balsamic-vinegar-based.  It was funny because scallops are one of my favorite foods of all time, but I hate anything even remotely resembling lima beans.  I didn't hate these, which is saying a lot. In between the second and third course, we were each brought an oyster to cleanse our palates.  My husband was scared because he doesn't really do oysters, but we both loved it.  And it definitely did the trick, because course three was a veritable explosion of flavor for us. The third course was possibly my favorite - bobwhite quail with apples and potatoes.  I wish I could describe these things better!  I've never had quail before, so I have nothing to compare it to.  However, it was the most perfectly seasoned thing I have ever eaten.  Ever. The fourth course was something that Kevin is known for - pork!  Specifically, it was pork belly over creamed brussels sprouts.  Brussels sprouts are another food that I normally cannot stand.  And I'd like to say that if you cook anything in cream, it makes it better.  Except I don't want to give you the impression that I only liked them because they were doused in cream.  The cream actually just enhanced their distinctive flavor, and I have finally found brussels sprouts that I not only like, but love. The pork belly itself was perfection.  I've never tried pork belly before because I'm really not a big fan of fat.  I don't eat the fat on prime rib (I tried it because I have heard it's the best part, but it wasn't for me).  I do like bacon, but it has to be fairly crispy.  I generally don't like anything that's recognizable as a chunk of fat.  The pork belly was melt-in-your-mouth delicious. Finally, it was time for our dessert course.  I was sad to see our parade of delicious food coming to an end.  My husband was served a honey-and-caramel bread pudding.  The dessert chosen for me was a chocolate wrap with something chocolatey and ganachelike, in a chocolate-espresso "broth" with mocha whipped cream.  Both desserts were delicious, though I would have traded them in a heartbeat for more of that quail! Everything was just so, so delicious.  Even the bread was arguably the freshest, most delicious bread I have ever had.  And it was served with a whipped scallion/garlic butter that must have contained crack. Our service was wonderful and everyone seemed genuinely friendly.  There was a bit of a wait between our courses, which I thought at first was due to the kitchen being overwhelmed with orders.  After a while, I started to think it was just to prevent us from becoming overwhelmed by too much food too close together.  Either way, it worked for us. The only disappointment was that we didn't get to meet Kevin (I think he might have been out of town but I'm not sure).  Oh well, I guess that's just an excuse to go there again soon!

The sushi here is about as interesting and fresh as the restaurants name. I really have had better grocery store sushi. The rice was very bland and the fish was tasteless. I imagine this is how sushi at an old folks home would taste. I don't think i will venture back to try the Thai.
