We reserved a table on the patio, so it started off pretty rocky when the hostess got upset when she tried to seat us inside and we pushed back to sit outside as we had booked. She then put us out back by ourselves at a table that hadn’t been cleaned and had spider webs all over it. Made us feel like we were in time out. The evening was rapidly saved though when we met our very friendly server and had a great meal. Split the mussels and the New York strip between the two of us. Was a good amount of food (took home left overs).

About the restaurant

“This Must be the Place”

What's a Wolf Peach, you say? Well, it’s an interesting story.

What we know today as the tomato was first grown as a crop by the Aztec Indians. Spanish explorers brought the tomato back to Europe in the early 1500s.
In England and Germany, they were initially regarded as ornamental, but poisonous, a “wolf peach”. This is because aristocrats experimented with the tomato, but it ended badly—not due to the fruit, but because it was eaten on pewter dishes. Apparently, acids in the tomato leached the highly toxic lead in the pewter dishes, and caused illness and even death in many cases. The “common” folk, however, typically ate on wooden dishes, and had no problem!

Wolf Peach is a place for all of us regular folks. A little uncommon, a little unexpected, a little special. A place for everyone and anyone to enjoy a good hearty meal, scratch-made from Chef Jason Okurowski.

Firday and Saturday evenings will not accomodate parties of larger than 8.
