Visited for a the first time a few days ago & loved everything about this place. Beautiful atmosphere, delicious food & friendly service. The perfect place for a long catch up with a dear friend. Would definitely go back!

I came here during the dolly parton pop up last year and had a decent experience. I always wanted to come back during regular hours and explore their menu more. We decided to come here tonight for a night cap with some friends. The atmosphere was nice and the drink menu was interesting however our server ruined the experience and we will genuinely never be back because of it. Her attitude was so terrible, it felt like we did something personal to her. I will say she still was on time with drinks and I do appreciate that. It seemed like she was in a bad mood and everyone at the table felt her negative energy. We were all just so confused why she was so rude to us when we were incredibly easy and barely asked for anything. I hope the rest of the staff is kinder and more professional.

Such a cool restaurant! We went to Brother Wolf last night for a date night and absolutely loved it! Our food and cocktails were amazing! We both ordered the Hot Honey Peach cocktail. For food, we ordered the Focaccia Osteria Stella, the Arancini, and the Salumi e Formaggi. Everything was fantastic and full of flavor. The atmosphere was perfect for our date night. We visited on a Saturday, and it was busy. This didn’t affect our service at all! Our server was super attentive, friendly, and helpful with the menu. The menu has a great variety of authentic Italian cuisine, and we were both impressed. Our food came out in a timely manner and was delicious! I highly recommend Brother Wolf. We look forward to dining here again soon!

Was literally verbally threatened by a belligerent man and security did absolutely nothing about it. In fact, he threatened to kick myself and our group of friends out. As a female, I immediately felt unsafe and will never go back because of that.

We stopped in for part of our peppermint trail quest and had a wonderful experience. It's a small bar, but decorated with such character and fun! The themed drinks are yummy and the servers are attentive.

This is our favorite bar downtown! Drinks are always creative and delicious. AJ, Maddie, Willis, and Makenzie do a fantastic job making drinks and conversation. Love the seasonal pop-ups and special beverages; you can tell they've taken the time to put real thought into the details. It gets very busy in the evenings so we try to go earlier to get seats at the bar.

Singularly disappointing food as gnocchi was lukewarm at best drowning in pesto.

What a fun little bar. Dolly Parton theme but in the best way. Upscale with lots of fun, tasty drinks. Great place to hang out before eating at Osteria Stella.

For my birthday, we decided to try Osteria Stella and since we didn't have a reservation our only option was the reduced menu at Brother Wolf.

Let me start off by saying I love their cocktails, especially during the Peppermint Trail, but was not impressed at all with the food.

The plan was to have our meal in true Italian family style. Bought 3 apps and figured these would be sufficient. The meatballs, fried artichokes, bruschetta. Meatballs were tiny and a bit dense. Fried artichokes were mostly tiny little pieces, it felt like we ended up with mostly scraps from other orders, only a few good size pieces. And they were very heavy on the lemon flavor. The bruschetta was approximately 2 bites and done. They did give a little more topping than bread which was nice, except we had nothing to eat it with, just a waste. When these tiny apps did not fill us we ordered our dishes. My son got the linguini with clams. It was one small scoop of pasta and 3, maybe 4 tiny baby clams. My husband ordered the Cacio E Pepe, which was almost raw pasta. Truly, we make el dente all the time and this was also uncooked boxed pasta. The sauce itself was so conjealed that he would stick his fork to the top of the pasta and held it over his dish. It took almost a whole minute for the noodle to start pulling away. I ordered the gnnochi, they were not heavenly little pillows as they should be and just smothered in pesto as if to hide their imperfections.

Do recommend swining in for a great cocktail, but caution against ordering the food. It's way overpriced for the quantity and quality.

Cool looking cocktail bar but drinks are super pricey. Its a small space and super loud. It was a neat one-time experience but I don't see myself going back.
