Pleasant place, good restaurant, tasty food

A very decent restaurant with a good view of the Library. Seafood, wine, cheese and pastries - everything was stunningly delicious! If you are looking for a quiet place for a romantic evening, with candles and soft live music - perhaps this is what you need. The prices are high, but when the dishes arrive, you quickly understand why. We didn't really like the fact that the waiter who served us suddenly disappeared somewhere and another one came instead. You could just say a few words. But we are not offended, the circumstances are different, we understand everything. If I want something delicious like lamb in cream sauce, I will definitely come back here. Thanks!

A cozy, expensive place. Convenient location, and guest parking. The high category of the restaurant determines the contingent, so everything is culturally and cleanly there. Of course, the years are taking their toll, and the building is asking for cosmetics and a revision of the views of marketers.
The building has 2 banquet halls on different floors and an outdoor terrace. Excellent acoustics and a stage for live music. For those who want to go outside, you will be offered a blanket. The peace of the establishment is guarded by security. The kitchen is located on the ground floor behind the glass partition of the banquet hall. The lobby has an original interior, a photo zone and places where you can chat away from the music. The service is at a high level.
The kitchen seemed just good, without frills. I was slightly surprised by the meat dishes, very tender meat, shallow-fried, but without spices. It looked lean.
Strong 4.

I was recently and was very impressed by the warm atmosphere and individual approach to each guest. I was served by Dmitry, who told me the menu in style and advised me what to take. At first, I took Ukrainian borscht, which I really liked, but what impressed me more was the waiter's offer to serve horseradish to borscht (served in a frozen glass), I was just delighted with this duo, the balance of flavors is wonderful. Later, I ordered a steak, to which I was also offered wine as an accompaniment, it greatly complemented the medium-soft meat and potatoes with herbs. A great place in the park near the library, where responsive and sincere people work in the person of the administrator and busboys!
I will come back here with pleasure.

We celebrated the anniversary on the 2nd floor. There were 40 of us and it wasn't crowded. It was possible to "breathe" on the veranda. The other guests did not bother us, but we did. The cuisine was wonderful, everything was delicious: meat, fish, snacks - on top. The team of waiters at our party are well done and clever, thank them very much. The evening flew by unnoticed. The unobtrusive care pleased me. There was a slight overlap with the music, but it did not spoil the overall impression. A great place in all respects + there is a smoking room for those who like to light a cigar and reflect on the high. Everything is in moderation, comfortable, dignified, without pretentiousness, which disposes to quality rest.

Overall, the place is not bad!
Advantages - service (waiters)- everything is clear, correct and to the point!
The food is on the level !
The availability of parking - considering the location of the restaurant - is a super bonus!
Having a walking yard is very cozy, but for warm weather of course!

Our corporate party, which took place on 09.01.2025 at the Wood&Fire restaurant, became a real celebration, and we can't help but share our impressions.
All our wishes were heard by the restaurant administration and brilliantly implemented, which created an atmosphere of comfort and joy.
I would like to express my special gratitude to administrator Yana and event organizer Alina, whose professionalism and care have become the key to the successful preparation of our corporate event. Yana and Alina were always in touch, gave recommendations, instantly made changes, promptly responding to all our wishes and suggestions. Their support made organizing our event easy and enjoyable.
The kitchen at Wood&Fire is a real art. The chef and his team know their job: all the dishes were incredibly delicious.
The waiters' work deserves the highest praise. They were always there, attentive and caring, making sure that we never ran out of drinks and snacks.
The interior of the restaurant with soft lighting and stylish furniture creates an incredibly warm atmosphere, which makes Wood&Fire an ideal venue for events of any format.
Overall, our evening at the restaurant was a truly unforgettable experience for the whole team. We confidently recommend this establishment to anyone who appreciates fine cuisine, magnificent interior and impeccable service. "Wood&Fire" has become our favorite place, and we will definitely come back here again!

A very atmospheric place, atmospheric, large space and beautiful views. Excellent cuisine and a wonderful lounge with cigars. Good varied menu, above average prices, good service.
I was extremely surprised by the New Year's corporate party 2023-2024. Without knowing the institution in advance, I would definitely give a rating of 1. A complete failure on all issues.
The kitchen - the management should be ashamed of this! What was offered in the New Year's menu does not correspond at all to the level of the institution. The level of a mediocre tavern: cold appetizers like fish and many meat are over-salted. If these are purchased items, then you need to pay more attention to suppliers. If these are independent preparations, it's a shame.
Hot to taste is fine, but given the experience of the daily menu, the New Year's is much worse.
The strangest thing is: how can there be an underweight in such a high-level institution for dishes that are visible to the naked eye. It was easy to understand that where there should be 1.6 kg of food, there is not even close to this. And it is visible to the eye!!!! If measured with scales, I'm sure there would be a lot of surprises.
The waiters tried their best. This is rather the most important plus.
A very weak organization. The New Year's program, for which the institution took good money, is very mediocre. And, as it turned out, she is different every day. So we're out of luck.
It is very sad when you base on the positive experience of visiting this institution and choose it for a New Year's corporate party, and as a result, a complete failure.
Conclusion: coming to dinner is a very good place, the cigar lounge is very decent.
Corporate holidays are a failure. This institution is not capable of such events.

I'll start with the pros.
1. Stylish interior, the owners have invested adult money.
2. Three (!) cape dry-aging chambers.
3. Pleasant waiter
Now to the cons.
Gentlemen, I don't know what genius put you up to calling Wagyu premium seafood cuts, but this is completely unprofessional. There's champagne, there's cognac, there's Wagyu. The rest should be called by its name- sparkling, super rib eye there, I do not know, but I do not know. In short, samurai won't understand😁
Next, we ordered rib eye (regular) and filet mignon, medium rare roast. We got it with rib eye, but filet mignon is a sole, and a kirzacha. Since they did not allow a control incision to be made after the submission, everything was discovered after the fact. The waiter stood up like a mountain to protect the kitchen, like a very thick piece of tweedledum, but guys, camon))
In general, we were reassured that the dogs would eat us) I'm happy for them, but my wife was left hungry, the dish was not excluded from the bill, and the compliment was not provided.…
Therefore, it is a shame that such efforts and funds spent on creating this space are simply offset by a total unprofessional attitude towards the main thing that should be here - Meat.
Unfortunately, I can't recommend a place to visit, there's a total kitchen bulkhead required.

It's a beautiful place. But it turned out to get there only from the third trip to Minsk, all the times there were some kind of events. This time, we also thought there would be a full landing, but a couple of tables were occupied. The food is delicious, but we expected something else. The taste and color are as they say.

We had a corporate party for 140 people. The food is decent. The staff is weird, particularly the host. At the entrance, like Cerberus, who did not let anyone in until the agreed 6 pm. The seats are small and to increase the seating, the tables were moved and 20 people were sitting in a row against the wall (imagine how it was for those who were in the center to leave the table)

I do not recommend this restaurant to anyone. Terrible service!! We were in Minsk for work, we found a restaurant with steaks in the vicinity of the hotel, and decided to go for lunch, immediately the first minus, parking, you can say there is no parking, there were 3 places and they were occupied, we decided to put along the curb with parked cars, the guard came out and said it was impossible here, but you can put it like this also near the curb, but at the entrance from the road, although it is unsafe, and our car is large, we no longer liked this attitude towards customers, apparently it was a sign that you do not need to go to this restaurant, there is nothing good there, and so it turned out…
The front door is something, it needs to be pulled with great force to open it. They met, sat down at the table, a polished man waiter came up with a menu, and it went, either to look at the menu, or to listen to it, what kind of steaks they have and what kind of cool restaurant they have, and what kind of experience he has, very intrusive, the impression was that he was ready to sell himself. We said that we are from Moscow and that we know what we want and you are unlikely to surprise us. Apparently after that he realized that he would not be able to sell himself, he did not appear again)) After that, another waiter began to come, a young man, apparently he had recently been there, he sat down modestly and uncertainly. When we asked for the payment, this young waiter came with a terminal, we paid, but the payment did not go through, as we later found out, but the waiter did not understand this and said that everything had passed and left. We probably sat there for another 2 minutes, left a tip, and began to leave, and then a woman with a brick face and a guard blocked us, she didn't even look at us, but just said that the bill was not paid. After that, she ignored us and went further into the hall. We were discouraged, firstly by the arrogance, and secondly, we were told before that the payment had passed. We returned to the place where we paid, waited for the exact confirmation that the payment had passed and left with a terrible sediment. They also left a tip for this circus!!

The service is excellent, the waiters are highly qualified. Steaks are classics, considering that this is the theme of the institution, I would like a variety. The prices are unrealistically high for this quality and taste of steaks.

It's a disgusting place! The wine tank smelled like a dishwasher. They asked me to repeat the beer with the steak three times, but I had to go to the bar myself. And the cherry on the cake was the hair in the rib eye steak. But they conducted an investigation and said that the hair was ours, without even comparing it with ours. And we are 100% sure that it is not ours. The evening is ruined, the pressure is at the limit. Rejection. And also, wood & fire, wipe the acoustics that are hanging on the wall, it has been dusty for a long time.

The food is great. European cuisine (meat, main courses, salads, snacks) is on top. The staff is neat, polite, and considerate. The atmosphere is friendly, it will be pleasant both to spend an evening in good company at a table and to relax at a corporate party. The interior is modern, unusual, does not distract attention, but allows you to completely relax and have a good time.
The wine selection is wide.
The only drawback, in my opinion, is parking, there are not enough places.
Overall, a great restaurant, you can have a good rest.

On January 8, 2025, we decided to visit a restaurant and have dinner in honor of my birthday. My friend and I were in Minsk for the first time. We walked around the city, had lunch and dinner before that in various establishments of different classes and levels, and were quite satisfied everywhere. But visiting the Wood&Fire restaurant left extremely negative memories.
We were very dissatisfied with the overall impression of the Wood&Fire restaurant and, most importantly, the cuisine, but I'll tell you in more detail.
The table was not booked, because the booking form on the website did not work and refused to go to the confirmation screen. We decided that we would go after the fact. The restaurant was half empty at 7 p.m. We were initially escorted to a table by the window. My friend told the first waiter that I had a doctor. To which the waiter looked at us with a puzzled expression and replied: "We have not accepted any preferences and birthday greetings!". This surprised us very much, because no restaurant had ever refused to congratulate us before.
It was noticeable that the furniture in the restaurant was "not fresh" and needed to be updated. Our table was scratched all over, as if someone had been butchered on it (a joke). It seemed strange for a restaurant from such a price segment. But okay, we came to eat and celebrate my Dr.
We ordered the first course, cauliflower Cream soup with coconut milk. The soup was more or less nothing in quality and taste. They ate better, though. Next, we chose different pastas for hot food: pasta with cream sauce and mushrooms and broccoli, and the second with seafood (I can't remember the exact name anymore). One creamy pasta with mushrooms was just a mess of overcooked pasta and hastily poured sauce. The taste is disgusting, no spices or flavor, the mushrooms were not felt at all. This incomprehensible biomass was difficult to eat. A friend joked that they had heated the pasta in the microwave and poured an incomprehensible sauce on top, which was apparently cooked incorrectly. Cherry tomatoes didn't even have the green stem torn off. (See photo)
The second pasta also suffered from overcooked seafood, shrimps and mussels were nothing. The whole taste was interrupted by tomatoes, which were mercilessly sliced and thrown into a plate. Both were unsalted from the word at all. Fortunately, salt and pepper were on the table. We couldn't improve the taste much, but it became at least a little more edible.
We both chose pasta because it is one of the basic dishes of Italian cuisine. It's hard to spoil it, but the chef of the Wood&Fire restaurant was able to do it.
The waiter was called and noted the strange taste of the pasta. They replied that they specialized in steaks and he would give the chef our feedback. Once again, we clarified with the head waiter that the institution does not congratulate its namesakes (this is just the first time we have met this and decided that the first employee might not be aware of the rules). We received an answer in response: "As the head waiter, I'll try to pour a glass of brandy for you personally." It sounded like we were being done a favor. No one has voiced any congratulations.
I have visited many restaurants of different classes in Moscow, Europe and Asia (medium segment and premium restaurants), but I have never tasted such low service and such tasteless food in my life. In total, they paid 170 BEL rubles for dinner, which is simply inexcusable for such service and cuisine. The evening was completely ruined.
As a result, the food was terrible, the wine was pleasant, because it did not need to be prepared by the chef of the restaurant.
The price is absolutely unjustified and we have not seen the declared service of a decent restaurant. We went to a regular cafe for a snack at the price of a premium restaurant with a chef who can't cook pasta.
We do not recommend going to this institution for at least some events. You will not receive congratulations. The food won't please you. The establishment is not worth wasting either money or time.
I put this place on the stop list for myself and I will not recommend it to everyone in the environment.
Question to the restaurant management: why do you indicate on the menu what the chef is not able to cook? Maybe it's time to send the chef for advanced training? With an incomplete landing, the kitchen was in no hurry and could cook decent food, not what was served to us on a festive evening.
The waiter knew about the event that we were celebrating, but he did not advise us to change the dish to something that the kitchen knows how to cook. In response to our comments on the quality of the food, he simply dismissed that this was not their specialty. None of the staff of the institution even just congratulated Dr.
I strongly advise the management of this institution to pay attention to the review and take measures to improve the service and cuisine of the institution.

Everything was fine. The food is delicious, the drinks are too. The waiters are fast. But!!! With all the splendor of the restaurant with prices higher than anywhere else, they saved a decent amount on the bathroom. Tip: look at how Ginza groups, everything is thought out to the smallest detail. There are incomprehensible booths and an announcement about the need to dispose of hygiene products is taped. No hand lotions, no high-quality soap, the booths are simple. The restrooms are no less important than the hall itself

The case when you make a great place, design a cool interior, create a cozy atmosphere, click on a cool cook who cooks delicious food, teach the waiters courtesy and a high level of service, and then hire a cloakroom attendant who resets all these advantages from the entrance.

I wasn't going to order anything now, I said I was just looking, but the staff was kind enough to me. The content of the menu, for a few good evenings, is just 4/5. Grocery 5/5, sorry red semi-sweet is not enough. I'll definitely come here sometime in the evening. "A restaurant is not a poppy."
