    Everything was amazing. They accommodated us coming in at an earlier time when we called despite our later reservation and no earlier times online. Our server/bartender in the “secret garden” was phenomenal, great drinks and made a his own special cocktail when we asked for a recommendation which was delicious (we reordered it!). They allowed us to do the tasting menu when initially they said we would not be able to, the food was incredible. Only criticism was that there was a long delay between being brought bread (first “course”) and then the second and third courses (~45-60 min?) to which the server was super apologetic, but the rest of the courses were more evenly paced. Our meal ended up taking a little longer than we would have liked (3+ hours) but the vibes and the service and the food left us feeling happy and content. No complaints and would gladly go back again!

    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.
