Editorial Review for Bay Wolf – by Citysearch Staff
In Short
A Piedmont Avenue fixture since 1975, Bay Wolf is pleasantly situated in a revamped Craftsman house. There's an enclosed redwood deck out front and a collection of comfortable dining rooms spread out on either side of a pint-sized bar. Owner Michael Wild loves duck, so there are several fowl dishes on the menu. Fluffy duck-liver flan is the house specialty.

I'm not a fan of multiple servers because it sometimes screws up the timing. The apperitif arrived and right after, came the soup. My companion ordered cassoulet and I, the salmon. The casssoulet was both good and hot. The salmon however, came with a salty sauce and the squash and broccoli were at room temperature. The salmon was unercooked and barely lukewarm. Our primary waiter was busy and so the problem went unreported. My companion's dessert included an extra plate and was complimentary because of the timing snafu. It's hard to pan a meal when the waiter is definitely a class act. We will try the place again and hope for a better total experience. It was a Sunday, and just maybe Michael Wild was not at the stove.
Pros: Professional service, Good ambience, Warm welcome
Cons: Multiple servers, Order was undercooked, Food was lukewarm

On a cold, extremely windy and rainy night, we decided to sit outside. It was still pleasant, though; it was warm and felt as if we were, in fact, indoors. The hostess was very courteous, offering us drinks and continually notifying our party as to the time remaining until seats would be free. The server was extremely well-informed; she made quite a few good recommendations. Not too badly priced, either. The duck, predictably, was tender and prepared nicely.
