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.

    Absolutely loved the ambience of this restaurant. It has a fun vibe for drinks and dinner. The beet salad was incredible as well as the sorbet. Felt like the gnocchi, the cod and the croquettes were just OK. None of those items wowed us. The wine pairing was outstanding and truly complimented the food. A table next to us received a great deal more attention than we did and one of our wine pairings was missed. They gave us a champagne instead when we let them know.

    An incredible experience! Our server, Steven, was exceptionally kind and attentive. We were celebrating a friend’s birthday, and the staff went above and beyond by giving her a heartfelt birthday card signed by the team—a truly personal touch unlike anything I’ve experienced at a restaurant. The octopus, filet mignon, and Caesar salad were all flawless, easily a 10/10. And the cookies for dessert? The perfect finishing touch!
