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.

    Came here for date night and sat in the round tables by the windows. Great and attentive service, not too loud and easy to have a conversation. Plates were spaced out well and everything was delicious

    Overall great food and ambiance. Service was a little slow. Food is very good but also rich and unique so with tapas style dining there was bound to be some flavors we didn't like but that doesn't necessarily mean anything was bad. This place always has delicious, well presented food and a location, ambiance and view that can't be beat.

    In all the years we've been coming here, I've never had anything less than a stellar experience on every level. The only thing better than the food is the cocktails, and every single person that works there can suggest a cocktail and food pairing perfectly paid to your tastes. Please don't come here so we can continue to get reservations!
