Wolf In The Woods

Omg what a quaint and cozy spot! Our server was the most helpful and friendly server we've had in a while. She gave us excellent recommendations. The vibe was candle lit european bistro style with shareable plates. Perfect for a date night. Cannot wait to return.

It’s a unique jewel of a restaurant tucked in a historic neighborhood of San Diego. We sat outside and the heat lamps worked great as it was chilly. The hostess and wait staff were friendly and attentive. Food was delicious with a New Mexico southwestern flair. Lovely wine list. It’s a special place!

After hearing lots of good reviews about this place, I came in with a low expectation because I was thinking it was one of those overhyped restaurants. However, I was pleasantly impressed that food was pretty good, and service was great. The only thing I was disappointed about was the bread. It didn’t taste like it was freshly baked.

it is a rare day that I walk out of a restaurant and say WOW! And no criticisms. This restaurant is European sophisticated minimalism. This restaurant offers excellent service and high quality food. Portions are perfect. Just what you need and not a drop more. The soup is a true standout and who ever created the quarter dollar sized fritters in the soup deserves a grammy an emmy or some great award.
The atmosphere is European chic. The wine list is extensive with options from around the world. Cheese board offers several cheeses, not too much of any but just enough. The apricot chutney has a nice spice along with the sweet. Cheesecake and cappuccino for dessert. Cappuccino was excellent - go home Starbucks!! The carrot cake is yummy. Spiced nicely. Cant wait to go again and try the something else - Will let you know.....

Absolute must try location, food was VERY good and while slightly cramped inside the outside seating looks perfect we just happened to get during our visit. If you are considering this place just do it.

Incredible quaint and romantic spot with excellent food and service.
The sweet corn and piñon soup was unlike anything I’ve had before. Unreal.
The depth of flavor in the red hatch chile sauce from the Carne Adovada is 🤌🏼. Spent every piece of that fry bed mopping up every last drop of the sauce.
Had the citrus marinated octopus. Love the flavor. I thought the texture of the octopus was off. I was expecting firm and springy yet tender but it was firm and mealy :(

Still an excellent place

Wolf in the woods is like the fine wine of dining establishments in SD. A place I recommended to anyone who will listen. A truly magnificent experience each time I visit. I implore you to give this place a shot. You won’t be disappointed.

Tried this place for the first time after hearing a lot about it and I wasn’t disappointed!

The food was delicious my favourite was the carne adovaba while my husband loved the octopus and tartar, and the fresh focaccia is a must!! The patty for the mini burger was delicious and very well sized! While the croquetas are delicious, they are a little expensive as is the aguachile… there wasn’t much fish and the sauce was a little bland for my taste.
I ordered the NA gin and tonic to drink, unfortunately it tasted very flat, it was changed but the second one wasn’t much better, wouldn’t order again.

We took our baby with us and were thoughtfully sat at the end of the patio so we’d have enough space for the stroller.

If you have Amex platinum book through resy for $100 credit a quarter!

Will definitely be back!

Food was amazing, delicious, service impeccable thank you. I hesitated to give stars for atmosphere due to the interior being too dark in the evening, seating near the bathroom and kitchen is unpleasant, patio sitting is on the sidewalk against the street so cars driving in/out have their engine in your face, and chair cushions not being too comfortable.

As an SD local (born n raised) the food scene in San Diego has gone form one of the best in the nation to highly trendy with no consideration for tastiness and catered to simple palates. Wolf in the Woods stays ture to taste! The staff were amazing and caring, and the food left us wanting to come back for more! It is on the pricey side, even for shareables, but a price I'm willing to pay for the quality!

This is one of my favorite restaurants in San Diego. The food is so delicious. Chicken liver is my favorite and the dessert is really good too.
