In Short – It's easy to walk by this tiny restaurant with its discreet sign, but once inside, Wolf makes a big impression. The interior is impressive, warm and intimate--blond wood lines the walls and curves upward to form a low ceiling. There's soft lighting and cork-covered tables. Stowell's menu is comprised of just a few small plates and, true to form, half of them are handmade pastas.

Great place to try new and interesting plates

by Seattleite1123 at Citysearch

I went here on a Saturday night and got a table right away (granted, it was a little before 6 and we got the last open table, but it was nice to not wait at all). We ordered quite a few small plates, all of which were delicious, interesting, and perfectly cooked. The pate bruschetta was absolutely amazing, I am still dreaming about it. I had never even tried pate before but I'm glad that my first experience was here. The beef carpacchio was amazing, so light and tender. For dessert we had the pistachio ice cream, which was a perfect ending. I will definitely be back here, I can't wait to try some new plates next time. I cannot stress how good each plate was.

  • Pros: Delicious and interesting food, great service

holy cow good!

by tracyanna at Citysearch

truly one of the BEST meals i've had in seattle. the cook even changed one dish we ordered to accomodate my diet....and was happy to do so. our waitress was professional, a rare treat! a woman next to our table knocked over her glass of red wine...it splashed my new light gray sude shoes. the waitress was all over it and averted a shoe disaster. she offered to have the restaurant pay the cleaning bill AND she discounted our food bill. the waitress, the cook both went above and beyond to be sure we had a good experience. and we did! we'll be back. and back. and back.

(and the food rocked too!)

  • Pros: small dishes, unique, warm decor, great service
  • Cons: cramped quarters

don't believe the hype

by LoganII at Citysearch

It was special night for a friends birthday. Four people, very quiet, no cake, no candles but in the end it just didn't feel very special. The no reservation policy was troublesome but we were early in the evening and we squeezed in fairly quickly-w/in 45 minutes. The service was.......terrible, the waiter was just BAD and didn't seem to care. We tried to engage him and it never took A few of the dishes were quite good, a few were just okay. All in all I was very surprised at all the word of mouth surrounding HTCAW and I have to believe that the restaurant owner or the marketing people are just doing a great job of promoting a marginal restaurant.

  • Pros: Some of the dishes were very nice
  • Cons: The service was brutal
