Steak & Date Night

We can't believe that it's almost time for back to school with all of the shopping, organizing, schedules, getting the kids to bed earlier (wishful thinking, right?), and everything else it brings. This year, why not take advantage of the last few days of summer and plan a Steak & Date Night (that includes a trip to the MOA and an overnight) with your special someone.

Since Woolley's is located within the Embassy Suites Minneapolis - Airport, it's the perfect way to shop, dine, and stay. With our close proximity to the Mall of America (and not to mention FREE shuttle for hotel guests), you can spend the afternoon browsing (or indulging your inner child and going on rides at Nickelodeon Universe). Then, swing back to the hotel to drop off your purchases and relax poolside until dinner.

Before dinner, enjoy snacks and complimentary beverages during our nightly Managers' Reception in the atrium, available to all hotel guests. Then, sit down for the perfect ending to a great day, a relaxing meal at Woolley's. Peruse our award winning wine list and see why Chef Peter is a celebrity in his own right.

After dinner, don't worry about making the trek home, retire to your suite and get a good night's rest. Breakfast in the morning is on the house and cooked to order to boot! You'll love watching our chefs prepare your omelet to your exacting specifications. After a great day and a great stay, you'll be ready to greet the new day (and the new school year).

See you soon!

A Cut Above the Rest - Certified Angus Beef

You may be an experienced steak aficionado or maybe you just stick with what you like when you visit a steakhouse. From Filet Mignon to Ribeye, Tenderloin to New York Strip, no matter the cut you choose, here at Woolley's, each steak we serve is Certified Angus Beef ®.

This means that each cut of beef must pass the following 10 stringent quality specifications to earn the right to be called Certified Angus Beef ®:

Marbling and Maturity

1. Modest or higher marbling – for the taste that ensures customer satisfaction, 
2. Medium or fine marbling texture – the white "flecks of flavor" in the beef that ensure consistent flavor and juiciness in every bite, and
3. Only the youngest classification of product qualifies as "A" maturity – for superior color, texture and tenderness.

The next three specifications ensure a uniform, consistent steak size:

1. 10- to 16-square-inch ribeye area, 
2. Less than 1,000-pound hot carcass weight, and
3. Less than 1-inch fat thickness.

And finally, four specifications further ensure the quality appearance and tenderness of the brand:

1. Superior muscling (restricts influence of dairy cattle), 
2. Practically free of capillary ruptures (ensures the most visually appealing steak), 
3. No dark cutters (ensures the most visually appealing steak), and
4. No neck hump exceeding 2 inches (safeguards against cattle with more variability in tenderness).

Not only is each cut of beef certified, but it's also seasoned and cooked to perfection by our expert culinary team. This way each and every steak lives up to our mission: "To reach a point with each and every guest in which we are exceeding their expectations in food quality and service every time they visit." Expect your steak cooked exactly as you request and served with the sides that bring out the best bouquet of flavors suitable for both the season and your palate. 

Allow our servers to recommend the appropriate wine from our award-winning list that perfectly complements your meal. 

See for yourself the Woolley's difference this week. Stop in and order your favorite steak and prepare to be amazed. For your reservations, call us at 952-854-1010 or book online at OpenTable.
