This place never disappoints me. The staff are always so nice, hospitable and definitely pay attention. Ive gone several times in the last year and have never had an issue. Their staff is awesome 👌.

I so enjoyed my food, and the staff was quite thoughtful. The duck and Brussel sprouts are delicious.

The food is just OK really, definitely not good enough to make up for the horrible front of the house experience as well as just lack of atmosphere, it feels like somebody put some tables into an old empty house. The front of the house staff and processes are unwelcoming and arrogant. Even placing a simple pick up order will require a 20 minute call. There are so many better dining experiences at that price point.

Solid experience. The service was helpful and friendly, the ambiance cozy, minimal and easy on the eyes, the dishes unique and varied and the cocktail menu hits hard. I don't want to detail any dishes because the menu rotates so it may not help you. But the waiter had great recommendations for me.

My favorite restaurant in Oakland. All time highlights are the lamb sugo pappardelle, liberty duck breast, and the duck liver pate

The brussel sprouts and octopus are spectacular. Would eat here again for sure next time I'm close by and hungry!

Food was fresh and delicious. Service was excellent. Great choice for lunch or dinner. Parking wasn’t even that bad which was the most surprising part.

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.

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.

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.
Immaculate environment, beautiful and delectable food.

Disappointing First Visit to Wolf on Piedmont Ave
This was my first time dining at Wolf on Piedmont Avenue, and unfortunately, it was not a good experience.
We arrived before 5 PM and were given a limited menu that offered very few food options—mostly just drinks. After 5 PM, the server brought a new menu, but surprisingly, it didn’t offer much more. The selection was still quite limited and not very appealing.
The service was also frustrating. While I appreciate attentive staff, our server checked on us far too often, which felt intrusive and disruptive. It seemed like they were rushing us through the meal. Even before we had finished our food and drinks, the server asked multiple times if they could clear the dishes, which was both annoying and uncomfortable.
When the food finally came, it was a big letdown. The quality just wasn’t there—nothing stood out in terms of taste or presentation. For the price and reputation, I expected something much better.
Overall, I was really disappointed with the entire experience—poor food quality, pushy service, and a limited menu. I had hoped for a nice evening out, but sadly, I won’t be returning.
