Wolfsglen is a perfect date spot in Westwood because of the ambiance and service. It’s dim inside, with inviting evening lighting choices, from the dimmable table lamps to the pink design lit up around the border of the bar.
You can get a reservation on OpenTable, and there’s cheaper parking available at the meters if you don’t want to park in the lot next door.
For an appetizer, you absolutely need to order the Baja Sea Bass Ceviche ($24) that comes with passion fruit & aji amarillo sauce, pickled cherries, tomatoes, micro cilantro, and a side of well-seasoned tortilla chips for scooping. The citrusy sweetness from the passion fruit pairs perfectly with the sea bass, and I will definitely be re-ordering this every time I dine here.
Although we were expecting something more substantial, the Bone Marrow & Wagyu Pastrami ($27) is a flavorful savory appetizer for meat-lovers. The meat comes piled on top of the bone, along with grain mustard, capers, shallots, and mushrooms, accompanied by sourdough bread on the side.
We came here for the pasta (they have gluten free noodles!) but unfortunately all of their pasta dishes contain dairy that can’t be removed, including the pasta menu items that don’t list cheese. Hopefully they update their menus soon, because we ordered the Bolognese ($27) with the 7 hour braised meat sauce given that I’m a lactose-intolerant carnivore and it was the only pasta that didn’t list parmesan as an ingredient. Not only did it come out covered in cheese, but they couldn’t re-make it dairy free because they pre-mix cheese in the sauce. I’d really appreciate it if they tried making a dairy free meat sauce, as I’m sure other lactose intolerant folks would as well.
I was overcharged by a few dollars for the wine I ordered, and when I brought it up to the server he did adjust my bill and he let me know the menu had it listed at the incorrect price. Yet another reason why I hope they fix their menu soon, because the ambiance and food-taste here are 5 stars!
