"We 've gotten take out twice and dined in about eight times. We had the mixed plate (x7 , chicken pot pie w/ hearts of palm, corn, and olives (x3 , Minas favorite tropeiro beans (x5 (the beans and collard greens with a fried egg on top make an excellent breakfast next day too , carne de panela (x3, stunning , chicken and yuca fries, almondegas (meatballs , chicken and okra stew, moqueca (coconut seafood stew x2 , costelinha (pork ribs over grits , feijoada (x3; with yucca fries, collard greens, and rice--it was my absolute favorite , aus wagyu picanha with yuca fries and collard greens, red sangria, white sangria (x9 , passionfruit mousse, coconut flan (x2 , coconut clove beijinho (x2 , rice pudding, and chocolate truffles (best truffles ever . I 've loved every item! I think one of my new favorites is the tropeiro beans which is a type of toasty-cassava-beans-pork dish originating from Minas Gerais. It is very unique to Woodspoon. Everything is unique (if you haven 't really had Brazilian food before, especially from Minas Gerais yet everything seems familiar. My s/o said that the carne de panela was a 'ratatouille moment ' which gave him a flash back to his childhood even though he never had that dish before. My ratatouille moment was eating the feijoada, it reminds me of stews my mom made growing up. I liked how the ambiance was very pleasant but not stuffy--I could pick the meat off the bones and not feel completely embarrassed. Woodspoon isn 't another Italian or sushi place and as a result makes a memorable date night. The chef and owner Natalia is very friendly and made us feel like we were having dinner in her home. She came up to our table and pointed out the items in the mix plate and at the end I remember (embarrassingly that she said 'lime only goes on the kibe ' after I sort of juiced it on all of them (oops lol . The dining experience was probably one of the best I 've had in a very long time. I can 't wait to come back and try more items (picanha and grelhas are next! . A note: when you get take out, I 'd reheat some items (especially the mix plate pot pie yuca fries in the oven/convection/ 'air fryer '. I love this place so much I bought a passion fruit tree and collard green tree just so I can re-create some items at home."
