Master Critic Review

Wolf at Nordstrom NYC 7.6
Midtown-Times Square
A sleek, store-set dining room delivering Italian-inspired plates with a Pacific Northwest touch from chef Ethan Stowell. The menu leans toward approachable pastas, salads, and shareables with solid execution. Best used as a stylish reset between shopping and shows.
Must-Try Dishes: Burrata bruschetta, Seasonal pasta, Fried oysters
