Wood + Paddle Eatery

I would come back just for the duck confit stroganoff. The stroganoff had a generous helping of duck which was so tender and delicious. The stuff mushrooms were also soo good. Just juicy and stuffed with deliciousness. The ambiance was nice for dinner, but being in a hotel it did give hotel bar/ restaurant vibes. The service was attentive but a little off. My husband agreed afterwards that the server kind of acted like he didn't work there. When I asked for recommendations he didn't have very confident recommendations.

Cocktail: Seven Cinns was delicious! Tasted like an apple pie cocktail.Appetizer: The skillet cornbread was not my favorite but the fried cheese curds were yummy!Entree: I had the Blue Cornmeal Crusted Walleye and I really liked it with the sweet corn relish and the green pea cream. It made the dish! I tried my husbands Duck Confit Stroganoff which was also very tasty!

I visiting for the first time. At a conference at the Marriott across the street. Decided to venture out for dinner and went across the way, so glad. I sat at the bar and ordered the olds fashion and the bison meatball. I highly recommend both. Service was amazing. Cap it off with the crème brule.

My husband is a sucker for bone marrow so I took him to Wood + Paddle eatery for his birthday. I made reservations a few days beforehand & we arrived to a really great table with an adorable reservation placard on the table. We went mid-week though so there were a lot of tables available & we could've easily walked in.Of course we had the marrow toast to start and then I ordered the steak and my husband had the pork chop. Everything was so incredibly well cooked!! My steak was so crispy from the grill marks and perfected by the flavored butter. My husband loved the marrow and his pork chop! The mixture of cranberry blended beautifully with the pork - sooo so good!!

Full disclosure: this wasn't my first, or even second choice dinner, but sometimes circumstances lead you to unexpected goodness.I'd wanted to venture out a bit for dinner, but a monsoon volume of rain convinced me to stay within easy range of Nicolett Mall. Wood +Paddle is housed within a Sonesta. I thought Sonesta was a low budget brand, but the lobby's lux 60's vibe makes me want to rethink anything I might know about the chain. Likewise, the Wood + Paddle space surprised and exceeded my expectations. A very vibey, low key, warm space. A very welcoming host, and our server was just the epitome of service professionalism. Oh, and the food? The French Dip I ordered was on point, very enjoyable. And a good craft beer selection as well. All in all, sometimes a forced choice turns out to be a great choice!

We were looking for a dinner place before the Wolves game and landed here. We had a reservation but it wasn't super busy on a Monday so plenty of tables to choose from. It's a nice cozy atmosphere with some high backed booths, a separate bar area and nice 4 person tables. Their menu is not extensive but we found plenty to choose from. I chose the lighter soup (minestrone) and Caesar salad. Both were good. I also had a bit of Husband's white fish (paddock) and that was tasty as well. This restaurant is part of a hotel. Service was well done and he got us out on time for our game . Good stop.

This restaurant is more for picture purposes as the food was mid at best. Wings had little to no flavor and the only thing carrying it really was the sauce. The burger was the same way. The lemonade tasted like tap water and was barely sweet- kinda tasted like flavored lemon water without the sugar. The ambience is nice and I like how we can see the kitchen but to be honest I don't see myself back.

Excellent food and outstanding service in a very good hotelLight dinner once and breakfast once, both excellent Highly recommended

My son, daughter, and I ate there tonight. The service was excellent and the food was fantastic. I had a Duroc smoked pork chop with a tasty sauce on it. My son had Duck Confit Stroganoff and my daughter had blue cornmeal crusted walleye. We were all very impressed with the food and the sides that we had. The portions were very large. The restaurant was tastefully decorated and also quiet enough to carry on a conversation!

Worst date night experience ever. To begin, Morgan was our server - she was perfectly fine. However I would absolutely never ever recommend this place to anyone. Worst $95 ever spent. My boyfriend and I went here for our birthdays, and our first dish set the tone for the meal. We ordered the fried sunnies (these were pictured and reviewed many times and we were really excited for them). I wish I would've taken a picture of what we got so I could show everyone reading this. Picture this: 3 of the smallest sunny fillets on top of 3 massive soggy tater tots and the only thing with any flavor was a grocery store tartar sauce. Absolutely blind sided with what we received and were very very let down. The sunnies were good but $14 for three 2-3 inch sunny fillets, no. We were optimistic about our main dishes being better but they were again the worst food we have had dinning out. I opted for the chicken sandwich as again reviews suggested it, and online pictures made my mouth water. My sandwich was burnt and dry. Online it shows the sandwich dripping with a saucey glaze. This photo is very deceiving, do not order this sandwich. Somehow the most disappointing dish though was what my boyfriend ordered. He opted for the walleye by server suggestion (and we don't blame her at all) but this dish was the most tasteless gritty dish ever. The fish tasted like absolutely nothing, no seasoning at all. The cornmeal literally tasted like chewing sand. $30 for walleye is something we are willing to pay, $30 for that tasteless dish is absolutely unacceptable! To close we were offered free desert, it being our birthdays, and we both chose the strawberry rhubarb crisp. Literally not sure what the kitchen is serving because what we received was a bitter soup with minimal crisp topping. My dad makes an incredible strawberry rhubarb crisp so I was really looking forward to this. Overall, most painful $95 ever spent. If the restaurant is reading this do not bother responding, refund our payment for our food, what we were served was awful but our server deserves her tip. This experience was absolutely awful. Do not dine here.
