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.
