Wren & Wolf offers good food and unique decor for a fancy night out

What we ordered: I so rarely get a good steak these days, so I went for the 10-oz filet of beef tenderloin.

• We also ordered a bevy of side dishes, including a lobster-stuffed twice-baked potato (which served as my wife's entree) along with German potato dumplings, poached asparagus in béarnaise sauce and an avocado Caesar salad.

The verdict: The steak was delicious and tender, everything you'd want. But it was the sides that stole the show.

• The dumplings were unique, cooked with Gouda, manchego and sage brown butter. I've never had a dish quite like it.
• Same goes for the potato. Sure, you've had a baked potato, but nothing compares to one filled with lobster.

Zoom in: The restaurant's decor, featuring images of wolves, taxidermied animals, fur and foliage, catches the eye and adds a fun element to the ambiance.
