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.

    We very much enjoyed the restaurant week menu. All of the food was quite good. The dates and croquettes were stellar. The ribs were tender and tasty. The trout was nice but nothing earth shattering. This was not the most intensely flavorful or inventive Spanish food I’ve ever had, but overall, it was very well done and priced reasonably for such a high quality meal. The space is beautiful and the service was excellent. I’ll happily be back!

    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!
