First time at Wolf Brewing. Nice set up. Waiter was VERY attentive. (Restaurant wasn't busy at 12 Noon on a Friday.) Food was expensive. So was the beer. But, it all tasted great!

We loved The Chocolatier! Our server was very kind and efficient. We are from out of town, so she gave us recommendations on what to order. Our food was delicious and full of flavor. The best part was the Reese's milkshake. We will come back if we visit the area again.
