Bay Wolf Restaurant

A Bay Area tradition for almost thirty years, Bay Wolf offers an elegant and relaxed setting in which to enjoy fine cuisine inspired by the regions of the Mediterranean. Founding chef and owner Michael Wild opened Bay Wolf in 1975 with the goal of serving simple food bright with flavor in an inviting, comfortable environment. Since then, he has cultivated a place where fine food and wine, conversation, and celebration happen naturally.

Long influenced by the food of Tuscany, Provence, and the Basque country, over the years Wild has developed and refined Bay Wolf's robust, down-to-earth blend of California and Mediterranean cuisine. His devotion is to straight-forward cooking prepared with the freshest seasonal ingredients. The dinner menu at Bay Wolf changes every month, each created to highlight the flavors of a favorite Mediterranean region.

Situated in an Oakland Victorian, Bay Wolf's ambience is warm and inviting and you may choose to dine on the verandah or in one of two intimate dining rooms. Throughout, the lighting is soft, the service attentive, and the attitude one of ease and enjoyment. Whether you dress for a special evening out or arrive casually for a quiet weekday supper is up to you and the occasion. Either way, you will delight in fine food and good company at the Bay Wolf.
