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.

    Loved up to the hype in every way. Service was excellent, and it was really awesome that they are able to pull everything off in such a small space! The Camote Asado was the most delicious sweet potato I’ve ever eaten, and although I hate fennel, the whipped requeson I could eat all day every day with every meal. And somehow yet, every plate thereafter delivered just as well

    Everything one would expect. Clean, sparse minimalism in the best sense of the words. A couple courses missed with me but I appreciate they took the chance and I was better for trying them. Perfect service. The English language fails sometimes and I don't speak French and my Spanish isn't good enough to use the transcendent "ser." You get it.

    Fantastic food! We ordered a number of dishes and had them family style so everyone could try everything which was great…no dish disappointed. We also appreciated that the music was at a level where it added ambience but didn’t hinder conversation by being too loud. Service was prompt and attentive, and the dishes came out as they were ready instead of all at once so that we always had a hot dish ready to try. This will definitely be the place I bring out-of-towners to when they visit, as well as our family’s go to.

    We had such a great experience at Guard & Grace. The waitstaff was attentive and made great suggestions for our meal. We shared oysters, the filet flight, mushrooms, truffle mac and cheese, and the brussel sprouts. Everything was excellent; a great dinner to end our trip to Denver. We would definitely recommend this restaurant to locals and travelers alike.
