In the heart of Downtown Phoenix’s business district, Wren & Wolf is the power-dining hotspot where deals get inked and style is always on the menu.

Start with cocktails delivered in style, then settle in for entrees that consistently steal the spotlight. Their 16‑oz Beef Wellington for two is a showstopper — a perfectly cooked tenderloin wrapped in prosciutto and mushroom duxelles, encased in flaky puff pastry, finished tableside and served with whipped potatoes and veal demi‑glace. It’s indulgent, impressive and impossible to forget. 

For a richer pasta experience, the Wild Boar Bolognese packs deep flavor with slow‑braised wild boar, San Marzano tomato sauce and a hit of horseradish ricotta on top. Comforting, bold and worth every bite. 

Seafood lovers shouldn’t miss the Lobster Tagliatelle, which combines half a Maine lobster, Alaskan King Crab stuffing, chorizo, piquillo peppers and garlic‑white wine sauce for a pasta dish that’s as decadent as it is crave‑worthy. 

And for a bit of flame‑kissed drama, the Japanese‑style hibachi grilled Wagyu brings sizzling tableside theatrics with top‑tier beef seared over binchō‑tan charcoal — perfect for sharing or savoring solo. 

Wren & Wolf’s beverage program is every bit as bold and luxurious as its cuisine. The cocktail menu brims with inventive concoctions — from smoked old fashioneds to floral-forward gin creations — each served with dramatic flair and impeccable balance. Wine lovers will revel in a carefully curated list featuring global vintages and boutique labels, with standout selections from Napa, Bordeaux and Tuscany that pair effortlessly with the restaurant’s rich dishes like Beef Wellington and Wild Boar Bolognese. Whether you’re in the mood for a celebratory glass of Champagne or a silky red to elevate your Lobster Tagliatelle, Wren & Wolf’s bar delivers a next-level experience.

Ultimately, Wren & Wolf delivers an unforgettable combo: Elegant cocktails, dramatic ambiance and dishes that feel like a little celebration of flavor and flair. Whether it’s a romantic date night, power lunch, pre‑show dinner, business dinner or a splurge for friends, this spot consistently reminds you why Downtown Phoenix dining is exciting again.

Equal parts edgy and elegant, it’s the place to see and be seen.
