The vibe is very European. The waitstaff is very engaged, friendly and provides excellent service. Appetizer - We had the Citrus Marinated Octopus and Calvados Chicken Liver Pate. Both were simply amazing and full of flavor. Soup - We each ordered the Sweet Corn & Pinon soup. I can't begin to describe how delicious it was. They use wildflowers in the soup which provide a unique flavor. The soup is packed with flavor. Salads -We had the Brussel Sprout salad and the Roasted Baby Beets salad. Both were great but the Roasted Baby Beets was out of this world. The Mexican Lavender dressing, candied pecans, pickled onions and Fennel Goat Cheese danced on our tastebuds. I am looking forward to going back soon to try more of their menu. It's very rare that a restaurant's menu captures my complete attention. Wolf in the Woods menu is full of flavors, unique ingredients and incredible textures. I really want to order one of everything. Go! I promise you will have incredible meal and become obsessed with this restaurant. Planning to go back Saturday, August 29, 2026 with a group of friends. I hope they will agree to share so we can taste a lot of their menu. Prices are very competitive for food of their quality. GO, go, go!

We were walk-ins, so seated at the bar but that was more than fine since we got to see all the actions as the dishes were being prepared. They recommend 4-6 dishes for 2 people.

It's such a fun way to discover local artists while enjoying great wine.

Sometimes they do a wine paring that is included or you can buy it on top of the meal price or you can buy a bottle or glass of wine.

This past evening we had a 5 course tasting menu with wine pairings. Our total pp was $110. So worth it!! I attached the menu so you could see what we ate. Everything was fantastic.

Parking is a nightmare good luck finding parking within a mile of the restaurant. Pros: atmosphere, drinks, service Cons: food wasn't great for the price, restaurant was small and crowded, no parking Service: All of our servers were friendly and very accommodating. Gave us some knowledge on the menu and recommended cocktails based on our preference. I had spilled my drink and they were quick to make me another one. Food: I had intended to get the prime ribeye cap steak but they ran out for the night around 8pm. I shared the steak sampler which came with four different cuts of steak and 4 sauces. I ordered medium and it was cooked medium/medium rare which was fine with me, it also had a good sear, almost burnt though. Out of the four steaks, we only liked two based off flavor and tenderness. The other two were more tough and gamey. None of the sauces really stood out but the bordelaise and horseradish were good. For our sides we got fries, roasted broccoli, and the grilled wedge salad. Fries were average. The roasted broccoli had really good flavor, I expected the broccoli to be al dente but it was cooked to mush and drenched in sauce. The grilled wedge salad was decent, there was a slightly bitter taste to it. I know it says grilled wedge but the experience of biting into the salad and it being both hot and cold was not pleasant. Cocktails: I tried the Honey Ryder and New Wave. These were recommended as the more fruity/sweet cocktails. You can definitely taste the alcohol but it's only 2oz so it's not too strong. Ambience: 10/10 I got seated downstairs by the bar. Only thing about downstairs is that it's too dark to take photos unless you use flash. Overall, I agree with the other reviews saying to go just for drinks and appetizers. I would go again just to sit upstairs and get drinks and take pictures. We left unsatisfied and ended up getting in-n-out after.

Starlite, Star bright, first star I see tonight…read more This may be an "UnFriendly" take, but Starlite is a top 3 burger in all of SD. I said, I meant it, and there's no walking it back. Now if you're super into smash burgers, this ain't it, and you really need to rethink your life choices. This bad boii right here is a thickun', with beautifully melted gruyere cheese, dijonaise, and caramalized onions tucked inside of a majestic sesame seed bun-served with fries, a dill pickle, and a FANTASTIC aioli for $17!!!! Yes, $17!!!!!! This burger ain't no joke, and it's more than enough reason to skirt your buns on down to try it out. Now the fun doesn't stop there. Have you freaking seen this place? The outside does not do it justice whatsoever. Once you step inside the door, you'll forget where you are-partially because it's pretty dark and you can't see shit, but the other part is that it's magical. I love poppin' up to the bar and chillin' in this space. There are two more totally different experiences to dine in, but I'll leave that up to you to find and explore. Although they're known for their burger, delicious drinks, and signature ice cream sandwich, there's so much more to write home about. I RECENTLY HAD ONE OF THE BEST MEALS I'VE HAD IN A LONG TIME HERE. The steak sampler we had, with sides of honey gochujang carrots, and beautifully scalloped potatoes, left us in ecstasy! The four cuts of beef were incredibly tender, deftly seasoned, and seared to perfection. The accompanying sauces, except for the tomato one, were also really good. And I have even mentioned the twice baked potato or the BROCCOLI!!! YES, THE BROCCOLI!!! If you get nothing else, get yourself a burger and some broccoli-TRUST!!! I could go on, but I'll leave you with this...the parking is not pleasant, but the food is fantastic, the music is fresh, and the drinks are splendid. Starlite, you must be my lucky star. Super HUGE thanks to Dani, the chefs, and the crew for making Starlite so amazing. Enjoy my friends.

There is a "happy hour" on Monday but it's called Ouster Monday, oysters are $1 and they have different specials that are not offered on the normal happy hour. Got the crispy chicken wings, Wagyu longaniza, and burger The chicken wings were very crispy and came topped with a jalapeño relish. The relish had a citrusy taste to it or maybe it was the liquid from the pickled jalapeños. I liked the crispness of the chicken but I think the relish was too acidic for me. The Wagyu longaniza was my favorite, very strong beefy flavor. It came on top of salsa matcha which i thought was very tasty so much that I dipped the wings and burger in the sauce. The slice of radish on top gave it a nice texture and crunch. I see the Wagyu hotdog is offered on the oyster Monday special so I'm gonna have to come back and try that for sure. The burger was cooked nicely, medium as requested. It came topped with an egg, truffled onion jam, and cheddar cheese. The bun was nicely toasted and the egg and cheese added a nice rich element to it but I didn't care for the onion jam, it gave the burger an overall sweet profile. I'd simply ask for it without next time. Over all a solid burger, maybe I'd add bacon too. I also had a margarita which was on happy hour special. I asked for it to be spicy and they added a tajin rim which was nice. Spicy and refreshing! Parking is all on the street so I had to part a few blocks away. Overall a solid happy hour. I'll be back on Oyster Monday for the hot dog and fish collars.

Lots of foot traffic and cars full of beach lovers constantly going by! Parking is hard to find, but we luckily parked right across the street at 3pm. The tasting room has several tables, a long bar so you can stand at either side, and another bar which kept glasses readily available for Alan, who was serving us. Oh, Alan is a Great guy!!! Several regulars stopped in while we were there (Great sign) to buy a favorite, or just chatting it up with folks as they sipped wine. I had been excited to taste the wines here especially being very familiar with the areas in Northern CA where they source their fruit. I am very particular about wine, and the small production they do here allows for some quality tastings. Not all the wines I tasted were my favorites, but they gave me enough pleasure to know their Reserves will be exceptionable, so I spent a boatload on their Reserves that were not open for tasting. I even joined their wine club!!! If you are ever in the area, or just visiting San Diego, I Highly recommend going to Gianni Buonomo. By the way, if you would like to bring your own snacks or charcuterie with you it's well accepted. If you do go, and Alan is there please tell him I sent you! Cheers to All

I came on a Sunday with a group of friends and it did not disappoint. It's a cute winery and much more spacious inside than what I originally imagined. It's has a welcoming feel with cute decor decorated. I love white wine and their Sauvignon Blanc did not disappoint. It was bright, slightly sweet, citrusy with lite notes of tropical fruits. A perfect choice for a hot summer day, although I could drink this year-round. My friends loved the red blend but since I'm not a red wine person, I can only say by their reactions that they loved it. This is a great local San Diego winery to enjoy glass of wine or two in a relaxing environment. FYI... it's not air conditioned which we usually don't need this close to the beach but it can get a little warm inside on a hot day
