Woolley's Steakhouse

Really, Really good.  I often travel on quick trips for work - get in late and eat in bad hotel restaurants or just settling for some snacks and a grumbling stomach.  Woolley's, located in the Embassy Suites at MSP, is a godsend to a biz traveller like me.  Open late, the Woolley's menu is available at "The Corner Bar" making dining alone comfortable.  I had the short ribs.   Perfectly tender and not swimming in some saucy braising liquid.  The risotto and butternut squash puree combination under the beef added creaminess and spice from the ginger hiding in the squash purée that went perfectly with the Brussels sprouts scattered on the plate.  The crunchy sweet potato things added some crunch,  but I kept wishing they would stop covering up all the other goodness on my plate.  My compliments to a great restaurant when I wasn't expecting it.  I can't wait to be stranded at MSP again so I can stay at the Embassy Suites and have a great meal at Woolley's.

The wait staff rocks too!

My boyfriend and I decided  to try Woolley's during restaurant week because of the number of menu options were extensive. We were seated at a booth which oversaw the elevators and had a main walkway next to it.  The elevators have very bright lights on the outside of it and you can see the patrons on the elevators due to the fact it was glass encased.  Out of the corner of my eyes during dinner, I kept seeing these elevators lights going up and down randomly which was quite disconcerting and eerie.  The hotel patrons obviously were using the main walkway which we were next to.  The views were a couple doing public displays of affection for an extended period of time and adolescents with swimming trucks falling off their buttocks.   I felt like I a was in a carnival.  The food was average.  I exited feeling like i witnessed a part of a public performance art vs. a dining experience such as Tony and Tinas wedding.

Been to woolley before, usually when I stay at the Embassy. Tonight I was staying down the street. Wanted to avoid  the mall and chains so try woollies, again. Food was very good as I remembered.
I like the "corner bar" area. Tables set up in the bar makes dining alone more comfortable. service was fast and friendly. Wine list was way above average and tons of beers on tap.
Tonight I had the walleye panko with a wedge salad. Both where very good, although a bit pricy, again,hotel restaurant by the airport,so...

There is lots of poor quality and chain food in the area so Woolleys is an excellent alternative.
