The drink menu features sips and seasonings as savory as the dishes with which they're paired. While the rooftop patio-outfitted with 1975 GMC RV as bar and repurposed food truck as kitchen- beckons patrons towards adventure.

This journey began in defense of the maker, those that bring to light from darkness, an idea. Our inspiration comes from memory, of travels we’ve taken - it is the thread that helps us bind our creation. Wolf’s is the laboratory where inspiration turns to creation, creation is stitched into a form that when examined takes guests on the creators' journey of exploration. But the quest to create comes not for the supplication of an audience, but for the continual introspective pursuit of pushing the boundaries of what we know as possible.

    My family & I had a marvelous brunch at Linger before our matinee of A Christmas Carol. The food was excellent. Eating gluten free and dairy free can limit our choices; it was wonderful to have a range of tasty choices. We tried the cashew queso & chips (everyone enjoyed). I had the lobster rolls, which had large chunks of lobster with crunchy vegetables. My husband had the make-your-own breakfast plate which he thoroughly enjoyed. My son had the chicken & waffles (not GF); and he too was very satisfied. Service was great; thank you, Xander! We will be back.

    Our server was fantastic, offering great recommendations on wine & food pairings. We shared many plates among five people & it all meshed nicely. Hoping to get back before the restaurant closes permanently in January.

    Our first time to Alma Fonda Fina, was a wonderful experience. We had several small plates and everything was incredible. Full of unique flavors and very exciting to the palate. Our server was very attentive and had made some great recommendations. The sourdough tortillas were spot on and more were offered complimentary. The sweet potato Camote Asado was our favorite ! We will definietly be back!
