This journey began in defense of the maker, those that bring to light from darkness, an idea. Our inspiration comes from memory, of travels we’ve taken - it is the thread that helps us bind our creation. Wolf’s is the laboratory where inspiration turns to creation, creation is stitched into a form that when examined takes guests on the creators' journey of exploration. But the quest to create comes not for the supplication of an audience, but for the continual introspective pursuit of pushing the boundaries of what we know as possible.

    Our waiter made our night so fun. We were celebrating my birthday and had lots of appetizers including the beer cheese nachos, artichoke fritters, Diablo eggs & the crab cakes. Then went on to our entrees including the short ribs which were excellent, and everything our waiter recommended. Great night and will be back.

    Amazing Valentine’s Dinner! A huge thank you to Chef Aiden and his team for creating such an inventive and delicious menu! Each dish was fantastic - from the oyster amuse bouche to the strawberries and cream dessert - and the wine pairings perfectly complemented each course. Definitely made for a memorable night at Wildflower!

    Alma Fonda Fina is an absolute standout in Denver! From the moment you step in, the atmosphere is warm and inviting, blending modern elegance with the soul of traditional Mexican cuisine. The menu is a love letter to authentic flavors, elevated with a fresh, innovative twist. Every dish we tried was beautifully plated and packed with flavor—think handmade tortillas, rich and complex moles, and perfectly balanced ceviches. The drinks? Just as impressive. Their cocktails are expertly crafted, offering the perfect sip to complement the meal. Get the avocado Marg!! Service was top-notch, with a team that’s not only knowledgeable but passionate about the food they serve.
