We're Thankful for...YOU!

Thanksgiving is always a wonderful reminder to be thankful. And while we know that gratitude shouldn't just be something felt in late November, it did give us another reason to pause and reflect. That's why we wanted to take the time to express our thanks.

We're so thankful for all of our wonderful guests and clients who trust Woolley's with their meals, their holidays, their special occasions, and share their lives with us. It's such a treat to see so many repeat guests and couples and families who continue to celebrate life's milestone's here.

Additionally, we're grateful when our diners take the time to leave reviews and comments that let us know how their experiences went. We always get so excited that so many of you had such a wonderful dining experience at Woolley's. So, a hearty thank you to everyone who took the time to leave a review after visiting. It's a great way for us to measure customer satisfaction and work to make your guest experience as enjoyable as we can.

We also wanted to share a few of these latest reviews as a way of acknowledging and thanking guests for both their patronage as well as for taking the time to follow up with a recommendation for their fellow diners.

***** GREAT FOOD

"We don't go to Woolly's as often as we'd like to. However, every time we go, we love it, and say to ourselves, "Why don't we come here more often?" We enjoy the atmosphere, and the service and food are always great. It is a little pricey, but worth it." -- 11/24/13

***** GREAT BURGERS

"We go to Woolleys often for lunch on the weekends. The place is usually pretty quiet. Service is always good. The Hen House burger is great!" -- 11/16/13

*****

"Wonderful atmosphere.... tables nestled in the mist of an abundance of tropical plants. we were celebrating a family birthday. Not a huge menu, but we each ordered something different and everything was delicious. By far of best part of the experience was the waiter! He was very intuitive, picked up on a couple of things we were teasing each other about and ran with it like a pro! He took good care of our group." -- 11/03/13

***** ALWAYS GREAT FOR LUNCH

"Food and service are always the best, and it's always a pleasure to return!" -- 11/03/13

***** BEST DINING SPOT IN THE TWIN CITIES

"Woolley's Steakhouse is the BEST place to dine out in the Twin Cities. I have dined here frequently and never come away disappointed. I love to cook at home and spend a great time doing so. When it comes to dining out, I like a place that gives it their all to give me and my family a memorable experience. Woolley's offers that consistency and always exceeds my expectations in food quality, value, and service,.... all in a cozy setting. I LOVE the variation in the menu that goes with the seasons, and I like that they offer things I would never attempt to cook at home. Manager Ben runs a tight ship and I love seeing the same employees every time I visit. I've never met an employee there I didn't like and I always walk away truly satisfied!" -- 10/25/13

"Great food and a really nice waitress.We definitely will be back." -- 10/25/13

And to show our gratitude, we invite you to visit us this month since we've declared all of December Customer Appreciation Month. It's just our way of giving back after such a great year.
