We sat in the garden which so beautiful and we had an amazingly cool night. The staff are impeccable and the food presentation is next level. I applaud them for their mission and vision especially since staying local can be a challenge I struggled with the story of Roots Season and the food fell a little flat for me. One of the reasons I came was to stretch my palate and to marvel over the creativity. Out of the 7 courses, one was truly inventive and outstanding. I felt that 2 were total misses and the other 4 were ok, but had problems. At this price point, every dish should be on point. read more

Time to update my review as takeout was no longer an option here when I visited again in July 2022. Tasting menu ($125 per person) was our only option. I'm not complaining. The tasting menu was delicious and fine dining options like these are few and far between in Denver. We weren't surprised as we researched ahead of time. But I think some patrons were when they sat down and then abruptly left after talking to the server. The website said 10 courses, which can be a little much at some places. But don't let that scare you. The first three courses were really amuse bouches and should be counted as one course. Or really no course at all. The mixed beverage pairing option was unique (and slightly less expensive than the wine pairing - $75 vs. $85). But I found myself trying to remember that old adage about beer and liquor. It's all mixed up, as mixed beverage suggests, and I was nervous it would make me sick. So I went with the wine pairing, which was good. Something about this place - the bread was the standout when I got pandemic takeout here and was still the standout dish on the tasting menu. Soooo good. Two recommendations: 1) don't make reservations on Tock. Just call. Tock precharges for the tasting menu, which is fine, but Tock also had me pre tip, but only gave my the option to tip 15%. Which was weird. So when we paid for drinks, it got confusing on how much to tip. 2) Try not to arrive early. There was no bar or any obvious place to wait except for a few sad benches on the patio. My husband visited this place when it first opened and he said there was a bar but apparently it was gone when we visited in July 2022. read more

Dined at the Wolf's Tailor for our anniversary. We booked via Open Table for the Indoor Tasting menu with wine pairing. Food was excellent and atmosphere/service were terrific. The wine pairing was just okay. Our biggest issue came when coming to settle the bill. When booking on Open Table, our reservation listed the price of our tasting menu, but the wine pairings were added on at a listed $0 each. I thought this may be part of an anniversary special or included with my credit card benefits, so I did not question. When the bill came, the wine pairings were listed at $205 per person. We discussed this charge with our sever and the manager. They informed us there is nothing they could do. They also said that several other guests had experienced a similar issue. Though frustrated, I signed my bill. Returning to OpenTable now, I see they have fixed this issue to display the correct price when booking a reservation. I called the restaurant to discuss things further, but they never responded. This is a great restaurant, but I have seen similar mention by prior guest of them "up selling" or not always being transparent about cost. I just feel that a restaurant of this caliber should have better transparency and character. read more

The hubs and I came here for our anniversary dinner and then I came again with friends two weeks later. Both times I ordered the vegan tasting menu with the first time adding in the non alcoholic drink pairing. I'm not a vegan but I love seeing how chefs can handle a vegetable and I was not disappointed with any of the dishes. The stand out dish for me was a charcoal grilled sweet potato. I don't know what magic they imparted into this seemingly simple dish but wow. We had so many great dishes that I could not possibly do them justice in this review. The non alcoholic tasting menu was also incredible and i thought reflected so much skill. There was a homemade kombucha that I would buy on its own if I could. The staff was attentive without being overbearing and they made the whole night that much better. read more

Ohh YUUUM. love me a fancy dinner for a reasonable price, we've tried a few tasting menus in Denver and this one was our favorite! For the price, quality, the diversity of the food and the overall atmosphere. It has a very comfortable interior with booths facing the street and also a nice patio area with tents for when the weather is nice. The service is top notch and we didn't do a drink pairing but ordered drinks on the side instead. All of the courses were amazing, it's hard to pick a favorite. I'm excited to go back seasonally and see what's changed! read more

The Cliff notes: if you are looking for a beautiful, thoughtful, and flavorful eating experience; go! If I could eat here every night, I would. This is a high dollar experience, so if you can afford it book a reservation immediately. If you want to try a few things to save on cash order their takeout! The chefs created vegetarian dishes specific to my preferences for dine in- this is an incredibly dietary restriction friendly restaurant. I have no clue where to start. This was some of the best food and flavors I have experienced in a very long time. The menu is ever changing, so I don't want to push you towards a dish they're no longer carrying. But- if I could it would be towards the donuts. Weird, right? These are the most warm, light, flavorful, comforting donuts I have ever had( I honestly don't normally enjoy donuts) with fantastic sauces to compliment them. Get them if you can and maybe order 2 if you're doing takeout. I booked a greenhouse experience with a cocktail pairing for my s/o. As a meat eater he loved the oysters and said every single dish was bursting with flavors. For my food the chefs were kind enough to customize dishes to eliminate meat products and mushrooms- and they did not disappoint. Each course was different, and I adored having the menu pre planned for me- you just show up and prepare to have fantastic service and an abundance of food. Each dish came out piping hot, perfectly timed, and never did I wait more than a minute for the next bite. The service was personable, attentive, and like I was having dinner with an old friend. If you're still reading, it's worth it- I promise. You're getting an entire culinary experience, a night you will talk about to everyone you know, and food you'll crave afterwards! read more

Impeccable service and cuisine. Very close attention to detail well informed staff. The theme was buckwheat and it was beautifully added in each course but was subtle. I liked that they did have some chili, wasabi, but easily overlooked and did not overtake the dish. It's expensive but it's an experience. I feel it was still overpriced but the chef creations are like nothing you can get anywhere else. This is truly a special occasion once in a lifetime experience. If you love surprise and are food adventurer then please go! $$$$$ read more

Any place with a Michelin star should probably be more than worthy of a 5-star Yelp review and that is certainly the case with The Wolf's Tailor! If you can afford a night out here...then you can't afford to MISS a night out here, you know what I mean? The menus are seasonal, much of it created and curated from their on-site garden. The staff is knowledgeable, helpful, friendly and not at all pretentious. I highly recommend securing one of the private dining tents if you can, but even if you're indoors you will enjoy the ambience and the food--even the bread is amazing! I went there for a recent birthday and I will long remember it. Definitely recommend! read more

Went to dinner to celebrate birthdays (mine and his) with my husband. We had high expectations given the Michelin Star status, and we were extremely disappointed. My husband's family are long time restaurant and hotel owners, so we have enjoyed many amazing meals - this absolutely wasn't one of them. In fact, we had dinner in Glenwood Springs a month later to celebrate a 3 year cancer 'anniversary' for me, and the restaurants there were much more delectable than The Wolf's Tailor. I wanted to love our dinner, truly, and neither of us did. The back patio was lovely, as was the inside atmosphere. Albeit, I would have preferred to be impressed with the food. read more

We had dinner here for my birthday this year and I cannot express how wonderful it was. Every member of the staff who brought food or drinks to our tables were so friendly, gave great explanations of the foods and drinks, and made the meal very enjoyable. The food was so good. Each dish was unique and flavorful and was paired perfectly with the drinks. My partner did the wine pairing and I did the non alcoholic drink pairing. I love that there was a non alcoholic option. I'm not a big drinker so it was great to have mocktails that paired so well with the meal. They even put a tiny candle on my dessert for my birthday. It was a very sweet touch. read more

My friends and I visited Wolf's Tailor this past Saturday. We were pretty disappointed overall. Let me start out by saying the service was great, and we loved both our waiter and the gentleman who served us the drinks, but the food was underwhelming. We had the 7 course tasting menu with the feature being buckwheat. We should have known right when we heard the feature was buckwheat that it wasn't going to be great. The portions were very small and none of us felt fulfilled at the end of the meal. The food wasn't very tasty either. The group of us picked the bread to be one of the best items served.. that says a lot that bread was one of the best items. The main portion was a huge disappointment... ramen with some duck meat. It was small and quite bland. We added the drink pairing option and it was OK. We had 5 drinks in total for ~$90. If I went again I would just order cocktails. The portions were small. They poured 4 glasses of wine with just a half bottle. The tent was tasteful and a good experience. Nice lighting and a cool fireplace inside. Overall, would not return. read more

This restaurant is overrated at 4+ stars. The experience is nice and the food is generally good but for $600 for two (tasting menu and wine pairing), I should have my socks blown off. This place doesn't do that. The best thing I ate was the piece of bread in the picture. No sarcasm, it was a pretty amazing piece of bread. The worst thing I had was what was introduced as a Korean-style lamb ssam that tasted nothing like anything Korean I've ever had but did taste like bad barbecue. It was plated with an inelegantly chopped mushroom "XO" duxelle that was so overpowering that it was inedible. Not good. The wine was Colorado local and average. You're better off choosing a $200 bottle of wine you know will be good than trying these start ups unless you are really intent on helping a local producer. The restaurant charges a 22% service fee for the wait staff and then additionally asks for tips. I'm sure the margins on the small plates they serve are probably extraordinary and they are making plenty of money each service. But if you are going to provide a "living wage" to your employees (which I support) just increase the price of the meal by 22% without telling me about it. It's off putting and unnecessary to tell your customers what a good owner you are. I'm happy to pay $600 for a meal, I've done it twice in the last month. I'd do the first one (not Wolfs Tailor) again in a heartbeat but I won't come back to Wolfs Tailor again. For what it's worth the staff is nice and the experience was pleasant. read more

The Wolf's Tailor - This piece of bread is the best thing I ate. - New American Near Me - Denver, Colorado

I have no doubt that this place deserves its star. Honestly it's closer to 2*s I've been to than to some 1*s, I think. If you're into that sort of restaurant, its price is, well, fair or standard for what it is. I was there right at the start of the "Outward" season in early November. Some highlights from the menu included the chicken liver mousse macaron (and I don't even like macarons that much---but making it savory worked great), their housemade sourdough gochujang in the fermentation sampler, the most aromatic soup broth I've ever tasted, and an ice cream that seemed to have been folded into a piece of paper. None of the dishes were too heavy, and yet there wasn't a single miss in terms of flavors being intense, and I left full. That said, I do have two possible complaints/areas for suggestion. One was that the meal was really long for the relatively small number of courses: 3.5 hours for 7 courses + drinks before/after. This meant there was quite a while that there wasn't food on the table---I'd have preferred it either go a bit faster, or that they split the big courses up and spread things out more evenly. I also wasn't quite sure what cultural perspective they were coming from: there were Japanese, Thai, Korean, and French dishes all on the menu at various points, which isn't necessarily the most consistent. read more

My husband and I dined here on June 2, 2023. Absolutely delicious and amazing. Being offered while we were there was their seasonal "Roots" menu - which was a five course meal (and added beverage pairing) that highlighted the what it means to be from Colorado. All ingredients were locally sourced and the staff would present each course and give a detailed description of what was included and where in Colorado the ingredients came from. Everything was absolutely delicious. It was pricy - but if you don't mind paying for a life-changing meal, definitely go here. read more

This experience was unforgettable from start to finish. Every item served on each dish had a purpose and was thoughtfully put together. The service was incredibly inviting and kind. I also loved how from our table, we could see the mixologist working along with chefs working behind him. The intentionality here is unmatched and I would easily come back here in a heart beat! All the food looked like art and tasted divine (possibly even better than it looked!). There's a reason Wolf's Tailor and their sister restaurant just earned a Michelin star and it shows well. Thank you for the amazing culinary experience! read more

Worth every. Single. Penny. If you are wanting a nice dinner, for whatever reason, this is a great place to go. The whole meal paired so well together including the wine pairing (which is a must). I personally lean towards red wine but the pairing was all white wines...oh was I impressed! Every pairing was explained to us and why it was chosen for that particular aspect of the meal. Hands down the coconut duck was the best part of the meal. I typically find duck to be a bit slimy but was so pleasantly surprised. The coconut sauce was mouth watering and I still think about it. read more

Not sure how you give this anything but 5 stars. Everything was well thought out and made for a wonderful meal/experience. 1. You have to be ready for Omakase style eating - they will bring you courses and there is nothing to choose besides beverage pairings. You pay in advance and that helps the staff understand their capacity and what to order. Also helps them keep their food waste to a minimum. If you appreciate what high quality and eco-friendly restaurants are doing - then you would respect that. 2. The wine pairings are very good but a lot of wine - my wife and I split one. Kudos to the introduction staff that was very up front on how many glasses of wine you would have per person. 3. Service - Not rushed and solid service with a lot of knowledge on the sources and food. They overheard my wife and I ask a couple of questions to each other about the taste of a previous dish or the flavor of the wine, and the next server answered that question without being asked. They knew everything. 4. Food - every dish was interesting but not overdone. everything fit together and you would be hard pressed to find any of the dishes anywhere in town. Even if you don't eat carbs, eat the bread....amazing. 5. Mood and Vibe - playlist was perfect, good acoustics without being loud even though ever seat was full. read more

Awesome tasting menu! This is the definition of quality over quantity. Glad to have had the privilege of dining here! Service was amazing! The quail was outstanding! The sourdough sorbet was unique and unforgettable. I could have had 10 of those bison tartare tarts! I appreciated that they used king salmon. The outside of the salmon was crispy but the inside was still perfectly flaky. The house-made bread was stupendous. The bread was so fresh, soft, & warm. But the bread still had spring to it! The jelly that was served in a tea glass was simple but flavorful. The presentation of all their dishes was a thing of beauty. Thank y'all for a wonderful evening. The food was amazing, the setting was intimate, the service was beyond good. The drink list was top notch. I would return. read more

An honestly splendid meal where outside of the smallest of nitpicky details I would hesitate to find much flaw. Each dish tasted supremely delicious and the focus on seasonality, locality and this thread of fire/smoke showing off their oven and grill was such a lovely way to tie each dish into a singular experience. The influence of flavors is kind off eclectic, global, a little all over the place - but honestly it mostly worked because at the heart of each dish you could taste a singular voice that had been influenced by global (esp global south east asian) flavors. The introduction of lamb neck followed by a vegan course followed by shrimp and duck for some might be confused (typically I'd expect poultry before red meat, esp lamb, on a tasting menu) but truthfully it didn't bother me the slightest. The food was excellent and delicious and the build up over the meal worked for me. The wine pairings as well were really a lot of fun. They are locating unique and delicious wines, pairing them in interesting ways. Truthfully some pairing hits and misses, but I love coming to a restaurant and being exposed to really new bottles or unique grapes - and this is what they give you. Do not go expecting chardonnay and simply california Cabs - they got way more to offer than that. My wife and I could not have been happier to celebrate our anniversary here - there is no question we will return to enjoy more meals here, they have been short listed as one of my favorites special dinner spots in Colorado. read more

Our dinner here was nothing short of phenomenal. Server was amazing. Highly recommend choosing the outdoor tent/seating - very intimate, cozy, and warm. We opted for the wine pairing (two of us), the mixed beverage pairing and the n/a pairing. Ok to the food - First bite - amuse bouche - caviar on a gnocco fritto with crème fresche. Beautiful presentation - in a bowl of shells and ocean rocks. Paired with brute de schistes. Course 1 - Oyster - trout roe, lemon, wasabi (perfect bite). Tartare - Colorado bison - beautifully colorful, dynamic presentation with a lot of flavor. Bread - sourdough with black sesame - delicious! Paired with Haykin family cider. Course 2 - Robata - pork meatball, lemongrass, lime - served on a skewer with fresh lime wedges Grain - squash khao soi, chitarra. Beautiful presentation. Paired with malvazija. Course 3 - Donabe - lobsters, clam, black rice chili - very dynamic, flavorful and colorful dish. Sunchokes - sliced almond butter and marscapone Winter greens - colorful delicious mix of greens. Course 4 - (Dessert) Lokma - saffron, cardamom, date syrup - beautiful and delicious! Heirloom grain tiramisu - a delicious end to a fantastic meal! Paired with a delicious tokaji.

When you make a reservation here you can choose a la cart (pick what you want) or "entrust", which is exactly what you'd expect... entrust your experience to the chef. We picked the latter for $55. They brought out four courses for adventurous eaters. Our first course alone had oysters, mackerel, and liver. However, don't let that scare you, they were delicious! If it's gonna be your first time trying some of these, let it be here. This was a great value for $55. I would absolutely do it again. read more

Tonight at Wolf's Tailor we had maybe the best meal we've ever had. There was not one course that wasn't surprising, herbaceous, multi-layered and delicious. Hands down the best restaurant in Denver.

I had high expectations for the place since all the pictures looked amazing. Got the tent option (recommend normal dining experience in non-winter times. I couldn't really see the food since it was dimly lit) for $25 more. Appetizer was okay. I liked the oyster but yakitori didn't have much flavor and the other pastry was a little too much for appetizer. First dish was fish with sweet sour sauce and it was delicious. Second dish was the quail. Tasty but nothing too special. Third dish was pasta with some kind of grains and mushrooms from the garden and sourdough. The pasta didn't have much flavor and the bread was a little too salty. Fourth and the main entrée was salmon with tomatoes and herbs from the garden. The salmon was perfectly cooked but i was too full at this point to fully appreciate it. Desserts. There were two but i forgot to take a picture of the first one. The desserts were my favorite of all the dishes. I would go back just for the desserts. The service was excellent. Overall, I think it's too pricey for what you're getting, especially with the wine pairing that costs around $80 with 20% added tip for 3ish glasses. So for total of $250~ the food didn't surprise me enough. I'd come back for just the dessert but not for the others. read more

We came to Wolf's Tailor to celebrate my brother's birthday and our siblings trip to Denver. I had researched, read reviews, stalked their Instagram, and I was still *blown away*. The drinks were creative and delicious. They had orange wine (my favorite) by the bottle but I opted for cocktails since my brother does not drink wine. He had old fashioneds and declared them "the best ever". The food was mind blowing. So creative in presentation and outstanding in flavor. I included a few photos but honestly I think it's better to be surprised. The service is outstanding. Our waitress was attentive, kind, and charismatic. Everything came out promptly with a detailed explanation- the staff are clearly so knowledgeable. HIGHLY recommend as a celebration treat or special date night.

What a complete rip off. 150.00 per person 22% gratuity automatically. And for what? An ode to Buckwheat? Jesus. Hit me up when it's an ode to shell fish or wagyu beef. I looked like an idiot in front of my family. 6 courses my arse. You could fit all of our food that we had on a dinner plate. Man look be as pretentious as you want to be. That's fine. But at least let us know what we are getting into. Especially after a 50.00 deposit per person....give me an out. "Thanks for the deposit, we will be doing an ode to Buckwheat." .....umm no thanks keep half my deposit and we will go to Cholon. Im so pissed and embarrassed. 803.00 for our table. I feel violated. Honestly. I have no quarms about paying a lot for great food. But this was clearly not the case. When does anyone wake up and say "Man I could go for some Buckwheat?" On top of the crap food. This place is so prentious that they don't have normal spirits....oh no...they go out of their way to get "Specialty",Vodkas ans such...so smokey tasting we sent 2 different versions back. Finally, does the staff even enjoy working there? Obviously the money is good. Over a 160.00 tip on our table alone. Constant lurking around with both hands behind their backs and not on person smiled....ever. they hate it there. I hate it there. Don't go. read more

I was in Denver for a day, heard about the acclaim Wolf's Tailor (what a cool name!) was receiving and figured I'd give it a try. The website stated that walk-ins are welcome and they were right. Thirty minutes after I arrived, all the bar seats were filled. When I left on an unassuming Thursday evening, a line had formed. This spot certainly has a buzz going. I decided to try the "Entrust" option, basically a Chef's Table. It was a very fair price for eight plates and the wine accompaniment was also fair. It also prevented me from the necessity of choosing. The menu is fabulous and I really couldn't decide what to order. For a few bucks more, the Chef would do the hard work. Each dish was excellent. Highlights certainly were the char-grilled Avocado. Even better was the odd Sake wine pairing I was sure could not work. The Squash Rigatoni paired with a Pinot Noir was the second dynamic duo. Also really loved the bread-squash purée combo and the glazed banana over Panna Cotta. Nothing was bad, but the Asian Sweet Potatoes were pretty dense and of minimal flavor. With all the plates that flew across my setting, not bad odds! I really liked this spot and am secretly hoping for another quick trip to Denver so I can explore the second half of the menu! read more
