    Shawn was our server. He did amazing with suggestions and made sure we had what we needed but wasn’t like he was hovering over the table. The food was amazing! It wasn’t super loud but we did go when the first opened.

    We were shown to a table that was too close to the window for our liking and were immediately given a different one. One of our favorite waiters greeted us and our assigned waiter graciously allowed him to be our waiter. He let us get settled and then took our beverage and appetizer orders. They were excellent as always. He paced his service to our desires. We both ordered the scallop special. It was perfect. Perfectly seared and the roasted vegetables and purees were a wonderful accompaniment. The bread was crusty and warm. We were also able to greet other favorite servers and felt totally welcomed.

    At Woolley's Kitchen and Bar, you can get great value. For example, the walleye sandwich and specialty salads are terrific, and the portions are big enough for two, yet very inexpensive. The same things are available for dinner, in addition to a full menu, including steaks, fish, and wine, and affordable. The ambiance is great, yet casual. The servers are professional yet very friendly. We always have a great experience at Woolley's.
