  • Great restaurant! Wonderful bar. Every dish was delicious. Our server was friendly snd attentive. This is one of the best restaurants in the East Bay.

  • Nice atmosphere and friendly service. Standout was the naan appetizer with baba ganoush and feta. It was outstanding! I’d go back just to have that again. Nice place for a birthday lunch.

  • The food wes quite good, my least fav was the ribeye, well cooked but a bit thin and the sauce was a tad sweet for my taste but over all a fantastic meal.

  • Popped in for a late lunch and it was delicious. The atmosphere is elevated but not fussy, and it was nice and cozy on a cold afternoon. Comfort foods like popovers, Brussels sprouts and Spanish octopus were all perfectly prepared. The salad was beautiful. Creative cocktails with a few non alcoholic options are also available. Service is polite and efficient. We tend to dine at odd hours so it wasn't crowded when we arrived but it was quite lively by the time we left.

  • I don't know where to start. The place was packed and didn't have any room and they made a spot for me. The service was amazing. Everybody was friendly even the other customers around me, would recommend this place to everyone. The spanish octopus was phenomenal. Brussels sprouts were perfect and the tomatoes took me home. Thank you so much for the experience and the food.

  • I recently had dinner at The Wolf on Piedmont Avenue, with my aunt and cousins - it had been a long time since we all had the chance to meet up, so it was definitely a celebratory dinner of sorts . The restaurant definitely strikes a good balance between upscale and approachable/relaxed dining. The décor is a very elegant, elevated California style and it was a busy but intimate ambiance. The food was ALL delicious. We started off with the oysters on half shell , house made buttered naan bread & a beautifully composed cheddar and black pepper popover. The short rib sugo rigatoni, which I had for my entree was cooked perfectly; it was tender short rib, and a beautifully subtly flavourful sherry porcini sauce. The cocktails we had were all well-balanced and creative - I recommend the Kiss from a Rose. Overall the service was good and our server was attentive for most of the evening, although there were two big tables and we were told that the kitchen was super busy and our food would take longer than usual. This certainly didn’t take from (or ruin) the experience - but it is something to consider if you’re in a rush or are tight on time. It’s not pushing culinary boundaries per se, but if you’re looking for a reliable, elevated neighborhood spot for a date night or small celebration, The Wolf delivers. I’d definitely go back again to try more of the menu.

  • great experience at the wolf! the service could’ve been better for sure, but such a great atmosphere and dishes. we got the little gem salad not pictured which was divine even the pickiest eater at the table enjoyed it. as for the mains, there was room for improvement in the asparagus risotto and the halibut. the restaurant demographic skews older so maybe that was the reason for the lack of salt. the burger was fantastic and in the running for one of bay areas best burgers for me. the pickles are a bit off putting though. the desserts here are amazing try as many of them as you can. the chocolate mousse was delightful and not too rich and sweet just the perfect bite. the banana caramel cake was also delicious the banana and or coconut wasn’t too overpowering and everything when together very well. would come back if the options for main entrees switched out a little bit.
