"We enjoyed Wolfgang's on our girls spa weekend getaway. It was great! The lobster and crab bisque soup is simply amazing and the strawberry romanoff dessert was light and simply delicious! The lavendar salmon was unique but also delightful! We will be back for sure!"

"Each and every time we are in highlands we make a point to dine at Wolfgang's. Food is always fabulous with great presentation as well as the friendly service. Great ambiance with all the fireplaces and also enjoy the bar area. Wine list has something for everyone and if you're undecided they have no problem giving you a taste. Highly recommend."
