I mean, this place is tops. Second time here, still doesn't disappoint. Service lovely. The food, delicious. They updated their menu a bit since I came here at the start of the year. Definitely a must.

Our first time visit to this quaint and homey establishment was nothing short of exceptional. The atmosphere is on point for a slice of New Mexico in this cozy neighborhood. The greenery and florals outside the soaring windows provide a perfect contrast between the desert theme and the lushness of San Diego. Enough of the vibe, let's dive into dinner! The dishes were flavored beautifully with layers of flavors that complemented each other well. The seafood especially was fresh and delightful. I highly recommend the Sweet Corn & Piñon Soup and Duck & Three Sisters. My absolute favorite was the Harissa Octopus where it was prepared perfectly (not rubbery) with bright citrusy notes combined with the warm spices of the sauce. The space is small so it's perfect for date night or a small group of 4. We didn't have room for dessert but we'll be sure to try it next time!

Excellent food and service. Only issue I have with the place is the seating is uncomfortable. The adovada was so good. I just want a huge bowl of the broth and some good bread to soak it up. Lamb chops and aguachile were fantastic as well. Will definitely be back to try some other items and get that adovada again.

Wow! The compliments and accolades received by Wolf in the Woods are well deserved. We had a spectacular dinner of tapas dishes. The steak tartare was so flavorful, and the corn soup was mouth watering. We wanted more! The fish dishes were delicate and well seasoned. The octopus dish was also good, if you like octopus. The service was very attentive, and our plates were changed several times during the course of the evening. It was my birthday, and I received birthday card from the staff, birthday wishes from both managers and waitress, and a candle in my chocolate pot du creme dessert. That was a nice touch. We were fortunate to have a private table in the back of the restaurant overlooking the garden. I look forward to returning to try more dishes.

Cute small spot near Presidio Park with lovely service and indoor and outdoor seating. We came for dinner to celebrate and the staff even signed a card for us. Reservations were easy to make online. Tapas style New Mexican food with primarily wine options for alcohol. We opted for indoor seating and our server was attentive and kind. The orange mezcal mocktail was delicious. Their seasonal special of the crab stuffed piquillo peppers was our favorite dish of the night. Ordered a lot of food! Favorites were the crab stuffed pepppers, the Jamoniberico de ballota which is Spanish ham on delicious toast and the Duck and three sisters of medium rare duck breast and pomegranate seeds with beans corn puree and squash. The duck dish really stood out, the flavors balanced nicely. Lots of street parking in the neighborhood.

Just as pretty as it gets... Just arriving into his restaurant is a beautiful experience the area where it's located probably the nicest San Diego. Service is amazing. They are happy to have you there and it shows. I would recommend this place more for tapas than for dinner. Just go with a larger group and try a lot of stuff . I like the mushroom polenta, the jamon Serrano, and loved their brussels sprout salad. Highly recommended, it's just a great place to spend the evening.

Food: 4 Service: 4.5 Ambiance: 4.5 Solid 4+ stars! What a lovely and enchanting place for a meal. The drive to the location was interesting and for a while I wondered where my GPS was taking me! The restaurant is settled amongst a residential area so parking can be a bit challenging. I had indoor reservations and we were promptly seated and helped. We ordered the harissa grilled octopus (delightfully delicious), pate (smooth and subtle but wish it had more of a punch), brussel sprouts salad (I really enjoyed the flavor profile), maize hen of the woods (wow! Loved this! Flavor and texture) and the panna cotta (silky smooth and light). My friend ordered wine and I ordered the mezcal mock tail. Service was excellent, friendly and checked on us throughout the meal. Ambiance was dimly lit but warm and inviting. I look forward to returning!

We were blown away! Hubby and I decided to get dinner. Saw this place on Yelp and decided to go. Turns out, this is one of those places where you need to make reservations because they get booked. They went above and beyond though, pulled a table and chairs out from the back to accommodate us. Downs side- you won't find any time of hot tea here and it was chilly outside but there are heaters and blankets. We started with the roe which even my husband loved and he generally is not a fan. We went on to the pisto which was perfect! Next, the beef tartar which I enjoyed and I usually do not eat that. Polenta came next, aside from delicious, there is no other word to describe it. We got the salmon as our last meal dish and this is where things took a bit of a turn. There was a blonde hair on it (both husband and I are dark haired). It also had no bread which seemed odd given the dish that it is. It was also at this point that we stopped getting water refills. We got back on track with the desserts. They were amazing. I'm not a fan of carrot cake, this one was great. The chocolate pot was *chefs kiss*. Highly recommend but make sure you make a reservation.

I really love Wolf in the Woods. First off, it's in the middle of nowhere in the Historic Neighborhood of Mission Hills area of San Diego. Just the drive there was intriguing! According to their website, they were voted Best Restaurants 2023 and 2024 Winner by San Diego Magazine. Snippet from their Website: "Our interior is inspired by the legendary folklore and arts of native New Mexico. Long considered very special geographical energy vortex on planet earth. Its rich heritage captured the hearts and imaginations of artists, visionaries and free thinkers drawn to its culture, inspiring desert landscapes and breathtaking sunsets for centuries. Our hope is to convert a little of that magic within these intimate walls nighty, offering passionately Old and New world wines and inspired small plates." My foodie friend had chosen this place for her birthday. We made reservations via the Resy app and voila. All set! Between the 2 of us, we tried: - Charcuterie Board - 3 curated meats, cherry chutney, French grain mustard, cornichons, toast points, baguette, cracker bread - Yellowtail Aguachile - raw yellowtail, avocado, serrano peppers, shallot, micro-cilantro, watermelon radish, wild flowers, olive oil - Carne Adovada - braised pork shoulder, red hatch chili sauce, New Mexican spices, fry bread, cilantro & onion - Duck & The Three Sisters - Maple Leaf Farm's duck breast, squash, green pole beans, sweet corn puree, rioja shallot jus, mustard frill, pomegranate seeds Everything we ordered - we loved. But if we had to rank..... My fave was the Duck, Yellowtail, then Pork Shoulder, and then Charcuterie Board. My foodie friend's faves were Yellowtail, Duck, then Pork Shoulder, and then Charcuterie Board. We both tried their Zero Alcohol Mezcal Mocktail. YUMMY! It was so good. Almost like the real thing that I ordered another Mocktail. Service was quick and efficient. The restaurant doesn't have a lot of space inside, so the tables are small. Food is meant to be shared. Ambiance was cute. Loved the experience! ENJOY!
