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.

    Lovely! Our second visit. Service is perfect. Great ambiance. We had the special Valentines menu. The burrata was really creative in the garnish and presentation. Wish bread came with it as just forkfuls of cheese isn’t ideal. The squid ink pasta was very good. Alittle salty. Loved my short rib with polenta. Our desserts were outstanding and the decaf espresso was so good! Will certainly go back for the regular menu.

    Our dinner at G&G met and exceeded all expectations. I'd read the reviews and it truly lived up to the hype. The staff was wonderful, knowledgeable, engaging, and worked incredibly well together. The food and drinks were the best we've had. My guy is a huge steak fan through and through, but don't sleep on the cod. We shared the choice ribeye, the wagyu filet, and the cod after having an incredible valentine's started with king crab. I'd recommend this restaurant to anyone looking for an incredible dining experience from start to finish.

    Went for Valentines Day dinner. After setting an alarm to be the first to book, they contacted me multiple times to let me know my reservation wasn’t going to be honored. After contacting me three times with no response from me as I was a little frustrated that I held off on booking other restaurants just to have the opportunity to eat there. Eventually they sent me an alternative time from 7:30 moved to 5 so I sent them a Seinfeld scene about reservations in response and requested a free dessert. They didn’t offer a free dessert for the inconvenience, but did start us with a glass of champagne. 9 course meal, 7 wine pairings (for my girlfriend), 7 cocktails pairings (for myself), with alternative A5 for my girlfriend, and an additional dessert as well. Food and service was all phenomenal (accommodated last minute gluten allergy), but don’t be surprised if your tab comes out to over $1,000 if you want the “full experience”.

    We came back in Feb of '25 and were ecstatic that the menu had been updated since we were there last in Aug. of '24. It was FANTASTIC. Between the plum wine, a warm sake, cocktails, and 18-course meal, we were in heaven. Can't wait until August to return!

    Matsu consistently has great food. The flavors are always original and everything is so fresh. The wait staff are all so knowledgeable, professional and helpful in picking perfect food.. in our party of 4, they really took care of our one gluten free diner to make sure each dish was modified and explained what they did. Thank you for another fun, delicious dinner.
