• Contemporary American • Sunnyside

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.

    You are not going to learn anything new from my review aside from the fact that if you haven't been exposed to this type of cuisine then you are likely going to be in love. The rest you know, high level production design on the interior, one of the best views of Downtown Denver, and a very specific yet eclectic mix of food and drinks... It leans very Spanish paella), Moroccan (lamb sausage), with some toe taps to the Middle East, and then a mega mix of all of those things (goat cheese croquettes). Recommendations include sitting outdoors in the Summer and catching a reservation around sunset. Good for groups, good for dates, I do not think that this place would be considered expensive by Denver standards for this type of restaurant.

    I didn’t eat any food so I couldn’t give it a fair score. The app won’t let you submit it without a ranking. My experience was stellar! The drinks were incredible and the service matched! I will be coming back again!

    Fantastic food! We ordered a number of dishes and had them family style so everyone could try everything which was great…no dish disappointed. We also appreciated that the music was at a level where it added ambience but didn’t hinder conversation by being too loud. Service was prompt and attentive, and the dishes came out as they were ready instead of all at once so that we always had a hot dish ready to try. This will definitely be the place I bring out-of-towners to when they visit, as well as our family’s go to.

    Everything was fantastic! We were there to celebrate our anniversary and it did not disappoint. We got the drink pairing with the food and the lovely staff was very informative and excited to tell us about every dish and drink. The food itself was incredible with such thought and care going into every single dish.
