    This evening was in celebration of two birthdays. The restaurant felt cozy and inviting from the friendly face greeting us at the door to the waitstaff. The food is incredible... The only reason for the "Good" review is because the originally ordered steak presented overcooked. However, within fifteen minutes a new steak was provided and it was removed from the bill. The Woodfire grill provides a free delicious desert for your birthday. I would recommend this restaurant for date night or a family gathering. We will definitely be back!

    The quality of the Prime rib and steak were not good. I grow and harvest a lot of prime beef and these cuts would not grade prime. They were tough and lacked marbling. I don't know how the Prime rib was prepared it was tough and pink on the inside and a funny brown on the surface. The meat had no flavor. The soups were so salty we could hardly eat them. The sea bass and mac and cheese were excellent. The bread butter and chutney were very good. We ordered a Red wine to go with the meat dish and it didn't arrive until we were almost finished. I don't think it was the waiters fault. Are server was Jordan and he did a good job. The cocktails were very good. The bill was right at $300.00 I don't feel it was good value. Next time in Dubuque it think we will head to Timmermans for better quality meat. They don't advertise Prime any more but there choice is very good. Since covid Boyd has gotten really tight on their comps.

    Woodfire is a bit more expensive, so it's usually a special occasion that brings us out. Valentine's Day is a special occasion, right?! What can I say - our waiter (Danny) was super! The special ribeye steak, salad, sides, and desert were exceptional. Delicious as always. Thanks for making a special occasion that much more special.

    Woodfire had been trending down with higher prices, smaller portions and lower quality. I tried it again specifically because they advertised a valentines special for 2. When we got there, we weee told despite their advertising, they made a mistake and did not have the special. The server offered nothing so we left.
