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.

    Outstanding. The food was fantastic, but the service was even better! We have been wanting to dine at Tavernetta for years and finally made it for our anniversary. Every single team member we interacted with ( which was at least 7 or 8 people) wished us Happy Anniversary - something so simple was so impressive and notable. The food was wonderful - the presentation and flavors were spot on. I can not wait to go back!

    This was the best dining experience of my life. The setting is very snug and intimate, but you make fast friend in the 'not-a-waiting-room' and seated at the tight twelve person U-Shaped table. The servers, chefs, and sommelier weave between one another mastering their own confinement in the interior of the U. They take turns in a symphony of explanations. 'Junmai' means 'pure rice' sake. "This crunchy rice and pork dumpling roll is best eaten with the purple lettuce leaf like a taco.' If I had a complaint it would be that the meal went by too fast and I wouldn't have minded more lingering in the explanations, but I understood completely given the time constraints. Serving thirty-two separate dishes, each no bigger than a few bites, prepared right in front of you, interspersed with drink service and explanations all squeezed impossibly in two hours of culinary joy. About half of the dishes would have qualified as the most interesting thing I had ever eaten. I had anticipated more of a sushi focus, and there were a few sushi dishes to be fair, but the meal wandered merrily from tapioca dumplings, to mole chicken, to caviar-topped tuna not one of which failed to surprise and delight. The sommelier was patient and enthusiastic, the paired sake course kept pace with the dizzying meal, and he had notes and information for each bottle of sake and wine. My wife and I's particular favorite was an alcohol added sake made by one of the few non-Japanese sake brewers in Japan, which we are now pursuing to the ends of internet. The meal and drinks were expensive, so I hope it is considered high praise in saying it was worth every penny. If you have the time and the means go to Ukiyo Omakase.

    Fun pre-dinner drinks and snacks during their happy hour. Got some wonderful wine and fries, returned later in the night for a night cap. Fun energetic spot with vinyl music playing.
