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. 

Autumn Review Round-Up

Looking at online reviews can be an extremely rewarding experience for restaurants as it allows us to not only acknowledge the hard work of our staff members, but it also allows us to correct any areas where we may not have lived up to our guests' expectations. 

As we were reviewing our recent OpenTable reviews that our diners were so gracious to leave, we were beyond excited that so many of you had such a wonderful dining experience at Woolley's. A hearty thank you to everyone who took the time to leave a review. It's a great way for us to measure customer satisfaction and work to make your guest experience as enjoyable as we can.

Woolley's Corner Bar on Beer Advocate

In the famous words of Homer Simpson, "Mmmmm....beer." We blogged about our similar sentiments this past May, as we touted our Corner Bar as Minnesota's Craft Beer Central. Our love for beer, especially craft beer, was even recognized by Sun Current Readers, as we won Best Beer Bar in Bloomington. (Accompanied by winning Best Brunch last year as well, and followed up with our recent win of Best Dinner, Romantic, and Wine Bar Restaurant this year!) 

Our love for craft brews has done nothing but pick up steam since then. Ben continues his noble charge of sourcing and  serving up some of the best-loved craft beers in the market. The Corner Bar even occasionally gets some rare, small-batch brews for your enjoyment as well. With 14 ever-changing taps and a solid selection of over 50 bottles, we're here to share our love for craft brews with you!

To continue spreading the word on our offerings (and thereby rotating kegs more quickly and getting new beers on tap), we need your help. Woolley's is now on Beer Advocate. Your charge is simple! The next time you're at Woolley's trying out one of our great brews, log on to Beer Advocate and leave a review. Go ahead, give us a rating. Not only do we appreciate the feedback, but you're also letting your fellow craft beer lovers in on the fact that we've got some decent stuff on tap. It's what good friends do. 

So the next time you're in the neighborhood, stop in and try one or two of our craft brews over a half-priced appetizer during Happy Hour. Then, spread the word on Beer Advocate!

We certainly appreciate it.
