We visited for our 10 year anniversary dinner. We chose to sit on the covered porch. The ambiance was great. For our appetizers we shared to salmon and shrimp. Both were phenomenal. For our entrees we had trout and venison tenderloin. Both our plates were clean! Can’t wait to go back one day.

Food was outstanding and service by Daniel was excellent. Our aperitif of Aperol Spritz was very good. The portobello mushroom we ate as our appetizer was large and very flavorful. The shrimp and lobster bisque, highlighted as one of the chef's specialties, did not disappoint. Our main entrees - the lamb was delicious, and the pecan shrimp was very tasty.

It is a lovely restaurant. Wiener schnitzel, beef short ribs, and apple strudel a la mode were delicious. Cajun-inspired dishes - not as much. They apologized in advance for possible slow service-it was indeed very slow and lack luster.

Wolfgang’s is a Highlands, NC staple when it comes to fine dining. We have been coming here for many years, and we are never disappointed. Wolfgang and his talented crew always deliver an incredible meal, with a menu that has something for everyone. They offer delicious steaks, as well as the famous short ribs. And their salmon and special fish dishes are amazing. If you plan to go to Wolfgang’s when visiting Highlands, I would suggest booking ahead, as they are consistently a busy place. A+ to everything we have enjoyed. And the staff is knowledgeable, friendly, and efficient. Thanks Wolfgang & Crew!

What a lovely experience! We had the best Escargot EVER. We started with that, the Wedge Salad & Curried Carrot Soup followed by the Bacon Wrapped Venison with Braised Red Cabbage & Potato Rosti and Lamb Loin with vegetables & a few Potato Wedges. The meats were perfectly cooked as ordered (med-rare & med respectively). The Potato Rosti was interesting - loved the potato part but the spinach filling was not a big hit with us. Also, the lamb was served with old school Mint Jelly. Way too stuffed for dessert, but highly recommend Wolfgang's to anyone planning a visit to Highlands, NC.

We’ve dining several times previously. U fortunately, our waitress was minimally effective this time. We were attended to for the initial order, when we flagged her down for beverage refills and when we summoned the check. Our experience was far from previous ones and lacking. Sad to experience the decline:-(

We love eating in the Bistro; the atmosphere is enchanting and it is the perfect place for people watching and seeing friends in Highlands. Service is was attentive without being overbearing, and we had special needs that were nicely accomodated. Chef's specials were an outstanding Halibut and Osso Bucco, and all our favorites were amazing (Portabella mushroom, Escargot, lamb chops). Top it off, Manager Jackie makes everyone feel special.

We had a delicious dinner, once again, at Wolfgang's! We started out with a cocktail. I had a Cosmo and John had the Tennessee Whiskey drink. Then, we split the Seasonal Greens Gorgonzola Walnut Salad. For the entree, I had the Roast Loin of Lamb, which came with roasted potatoes and a vegetable medley. John had the Duck, which was a special. Everything was cooked perfectly and tasted so delicious! The service is always excellent and the prices are reasonable. The prices of the wines are also reasonable compared to other high end restaurants.

Our service at Wolfgang's was excellent. The Onion Soup was wonderful. However, our entrees disappointed. I ordered the veal medallions with crawfish. The crawfish were extremely fishy tasting. I could not eat them. The two smallish veal medallions were so thin as to almost consist of just breading and a bit too heavy sauces. My husband ordered the lamb. It was "overcooked" and "mushy tasting" according to him. Neither of us would order these entrees again. However, we will go back and have the onion soup again!

You would expect a restaurant with Wolfgang’s name on it to be good. It was. It reminded me of commanders Palace in New Orleans as there were a number of different rooms throughout the property. The wine list was fairly priced and everything we had was well thought out and well prepared.
