We love Wolfgang's! We went with a group of friends and were all greatly pleased with our entire experience. We were greeted with smiling faces from the moment we walked in the door. Our waitress, Lauren, was wonderful. My husband and I split the seafood bouillabaisse-which was out of this world!! Chef Wolfgang even stopped by our table to thank... More

The Bistro is a great place for a casual meal with good wines and delicious small and large plate dishes. We've eaten in the main restaurant for years on our visits to Highlands, but have come to really enjoy the Bistro. Wolfgang makes his usual rounds here to meet and great diners, and Mindy's smiling face always adds enjoyment to... More

We've been following our friend and chef Chris Dupont for a number of years now so when we learned he was @ Wolfgang's we went. He is in charge of the "specials". Chris came to our table and I said "bring us your food creations"..... What followed was magnificent. 5 Tapas ....Angel Hair, Lobster, Venison, Quail egg, Osters, mellon..... wow... More

At Wolfgangs you will get one of the best quality meals in Highlands, and he prepares one of the best short rib dishes anywhere. The BIstro in the bar area is a terrific room with fireplace, perhaps one day they will make the bar a little longer. Nice outdoor seating also.

The pecan crusted shrimp was fabulous, as was the chocolate mousse. We cannot wait to go back and take our friends the next time we are... More

When traveling, we always like to sample several restaurants in an area. However, Wolfgang's Restaurant & Wine Bistro in Highlands, NC was so spectacular we had to come back the next evening as well. Don't miss the venison and NC Mountain Trout. The wine selection is nothing short of amazing. Staff extremely knowledgeable and service was wonderful. All in all,... More

I've been for their holiday dinners and for private parties. Let me just say I go at every... More
