Champagne - Dubuque

Wonderful Atmosphere the FOOD!! AMAZING, but our favorite waitstaff isn't there any more: ... but it's beautiful Cozy not small) but cozy vibe! The food is AMAZING! Top 5 in the area!!

Great service and amazing food! We arrived early for our reservation and they seated us with no issue. Highly recommend! The crab cakes were so delicious and I would even say the best I have ever had. My steak was cooked perfectly and was exquisite. My friend had the beef stroganoff which just melted in your mouth. Loved the whole experience!

Came here for a romantic dinner with my valentine. We were seated at a cozy booth next to the fire. Our server was so incredibly friendly and was helpful on foods to order on the menu. I also mentioned to her that I was hoping to get a glass of Prosecco, but that I didn't see any champagne offered by the glass on their menu. She went out of her way to ask the bar if it was possible to pour me a glass. I started with a lobster bisque. It was a beautiful color and had some nice spice to it. I will say though that while it was tasty, I didn't get a lot of lobster flavor from it. It tasted more like a chowder than a bisque, but it was still very delicious. For my main entree, I got the Thai pasta that came with shrimp and scallops. The scallops were cooked perfectly and just melted in my mouth. Next time, I think I'll get the scallops entree because two scallops wasn't enough! The pasta was a very generous portion. After eating up all the shrimp scallops, I had to box up the rest for later. Now I will be the first to admit that I'm terrible about eating leftovers. I have about a 25% success rate of eating anything that I've brought home from a restaurant. But this pasta was still calling my name the next morning at home. It may have been the slight hangover from all the cocktails the evening before, but I was ready for round two. A quick reheat and a squeeze of fresh lime juice brought this Thai pasta right back to life. This is a great restaurant for a special occasion or work dinner. I will be bringing my parents here when they come to visit.

It's so great to be able to enjoy such a great dinner, great atmosphere and excellent service. Sadie was our waitress and was top notch and secured 5 stars for our evening.

My husband I, along with two other friends were very excited to try Woodfire Grille located inside the Diamond Jo Casino (Dubuque, IA) which I. highly recommend having a reservation! Immediately when we walked in, I absolutely loved the beautiful modern fireplaces glowing in a slightly dark but incredible ambience that was very cozy elegant perfect for an amazing date! There is a beautiful bar near the entrance! I loved that they served a small plate of lemons cucumbers for our waters at the table along with delicious fresh baked complimentary bread! Their menu mostly consists of high quality USDA prime steaks, prime rib, seafood including lobster, pastas, and a beautiful extensive wine lists along with a fun popular cocktail/beer menu. They have awesome steak enhancements additions such as lump crab, sea scallops, truffle oil mushrooms, and Maytag bleu cheese! On their menu, they also have other entree items such as New Zealand Lamb, Tasmanian King Salmon, and pan roasted chicken! On their menu the steaks do not automatically come with a side dish or salad included with the price of a steak. Sides and salads are separate additional costs along with the steaks. I ordered the ribeye steak with asparagus half BLT wedge salad. My friends husband ordered ribeye steak, lobster tails, and Hungarian pan roasted chicken. The service was pretty good but could be a-lot better. Our server wasn't the most attentive and not super personable. My friend had to wait an extra long time for their chicken because it got dropped by the food runner and the replacement chicken entree took a long time in general because it is roasted. My steak was cooked to perfection, was melt in my mouth tender, the fat marbling from the ribeye gave it so much flavor! However, I wish they would have seasoned the steak more as I still had to add more salt and pepper. They also didn't cook my asparagus right as it was like chewing hard bamboo and not tender as I had thicker stalks of asparagus. Everybody else said they really enjoyed their dinner! My friend really raved about the French Onion soup!! The server got a little side tracked I think but never asked us how our food was. I only had a couple pieces of asparagus so I didn't make a big deal. We didn't have room for delicious dessert but they offered us small bite size delicious homemade chocolate truffles at the end. My overall impression of Woodfire Grille is the ambiance is excellent with the beautiful, relaxing, exquisite lighting of the modern fireplaces/comfortable seating! The service was not as top notch as I was hoping for such an upscale restaurant. The food for the most part was amazing but a few things got messed up like the hard asparagus! This is still a nice place to go for upscale dining in Dubuque especially when you are looking for steaks and seafood!
