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 enjoyed a wonderful meal there. Each course was better than the last! Might not have ordered the halibut or the sirloin and instead paid more attention to the smaller bites. The sauces were amazing, the guacamole out of this world! Highly highly recommend! Service was impeccable, friendly, informative, fun. I’m picky about my margaritas and there’s were amazing! We also tried the avocado. Margarita, delicious!

    We had a wonderful experience at O&Ps. The food was outstanding, particularly the Gorgonzola/Pear Butternut squash. The server was very helpful and took great pain to make sure all was well. We were personally greeted by both owners. I can't recommend this any higher.

    Exceptional dinner! The seafood tasting menu was wonderful but come hungry because it’s a lot of food. The wine recommendation was perfect. The pork tenderloin was cooked beautifully and the lamb/beef ragu was rich, decadent and delightfully seasoned. Don’t skip the home made focaccia!
