    This was the closest to what we experienced in Burgundy: pre fixe multiple course tasting menu, amazing fresh food prepared with skill and care, and an excellent wine list. Service was wonderful; the staff helped each other out as one team. They made us feel special. Even the chef was accommodating, as he permitted us to substitute a cheese course for the planned desert. Next time (and there will be a next time) we will dine in the little garden, which looked charming. There are a number of interesting, fun restaurants in North Park. Many are worth visiting. But Wormwood stands out from the pack our meal was next to perfect. Highly recommended.

    Will be back. Never judge a book for its cover. Meaning, we have found it small and nothing fancy or attractive on the outside but inside it was very cozy and the food was delicious. Simple menu with great options, reasonable prices, and high-quality food. In my opinion and experience, the kitchen and service were very very slow.

    The Sunday evening patio experience is dependable. An excellent jazz duo playing at a restrained volume makes for a lovely setting. The food and bar program is always on point, and service is always pleasant and professional.

    Got so much attention from wait staff without being intrusive. Ordered the multi course prix fixe menu and each was a creative palate surprise that left me feeling pleasantly satiated. Sharing the main? This could have easily been split, but I perhaps it is to encourage orders x 2 to make it worthwhile from a staffing viewpoint for multiple food drops. Staff was very friendly and ever so accommodating yet might have anticipated a couple of basics like coaster napkins for cocktails so table wasn't wet with condensation & knives for certain courses. Overall, it was a 5 star 🤩 experience worth a repeat.

    Wormwood really excels in their appetizers and dinner entrees! Especially the steak was wow! Melt in your mouth good. I was impressed. The desert was okay, but a little too avant garde for my taste. Ambiance is great. Quaint. Overall, I recommend you try this place. Note that the portions are very small for American standards.
