Haley was an amazing server for us. She helped us navigate gluten free with ease. She made excellent recommendations for our table. Jackie also went above and beyond to help us. We had a great meal and dessert. Lastly the winner recommendations were on point. If you go there when I'm town, you will enjoy a great meal and be sure to ask for Haley. We tried many small plates and apps. Shrimp and grits, French onion soup, caprese, seared tuna, fried brie and creme brulee. What a great night.

Best Restaurant. Three of us dined in 4 restarants over our 4 nights in the area. We dined at two in Highlands and two in Cashiers. Of the four restaurants Wolfgang's is the only one where we all agreed that the meal was excellent. Now this is not to be confused with Wolfgang Pucks - they will be quick to tell you that there is no affiliation. According to the restaurant's Website, this restaurant is owned and named after German-born chef Wolfgang Green’s whose career included serving as Executive Chef for the Brennan Family of Commander’s Palace in New Orleans.

Wolfgang's family of employees were knowledgeable and very pleasant. All of your needs were anticipated. We were greated by the chef/owner himself. The food was outstanding!! If you like veal I can highly recommend it. The escargot were to die for. The whole experience helped make our anniversary a very special day. We look forward to our return visit

First and last time eating Wolfgang Highlands. When I made my reservation I was so excited. I have yet to eat at a Wolfgang’s and thought it would be fail proof for our anniversary dinner. Well, I do not think Mr.Wolfgang has visited in quite sometime. The server was alright. Not mega personal but could tell he was working hard, but the food was terrible. The rolls came out and they popped off the plate when trying to cut in because they were so hard. I ordered the crab cakes and shrimp. I’ve had a better crab cake at a Ruby Tuesday’s! It was so soggy and the pecan encrusted shrimp had no

Great service; hostess, wine expert and server all on point. Fantastic wine list, fairly riced. Entrees were excellent; VEAL MEDALLIONS “WOLFGANG” and ROAST LOIN OF LAMB were amazing. Deserts and after dinner drinks also did not disappoint. The servers and kitchen are very accommodating to special requests. One of the top 2 restaurants on Main Street for sure!

First, the shrimp and lobster bisque is worth the calories! So flavorful. We had the grilled salmon for dinner, which was perfectly cooked and delicious. We drank our dessert (Bailey's for me and Cointreau for the hubs). The bartender, servers, and hostesses were all very friendly and accommodating, even though they were short staffed (a common problem these days). A bit pricey, but we though it was worth it.

This place was next level. Amazing service. The food was incredible. I stopped taking pictures after the appetizers because sometimes you just have to enjoy the experience. Pictures below are of the brie, wedge salad and crab cake. The onion soup and lobster bisque are off the charts. I had the venison and it was delicious- not gamey or tough at all. Tasted like a filet. The best part was this spanikopita like potato and goat cheese creation that came on the side. I would’ve ordered that by itself. It came with the venison- so good. The desserts we had the strudel and mousse. Both were excellent
