"Kensington’s Laser Wolf isn’t just one of our favorites for a Mediterranean feast—it’s one of the top restaurants in the neighborhood, period. The laidback Israeli grill is great for groups, date night, or eating by yourself at the bar, thanks to the all-you-can-eat salatim, and other shareables, like chicken skewers and juicy tuna covered in a green chili sauce. Bottom line—everything they put to the flame here is exceptional. The bill can stack up, so you’ll want to be strategic about when you come for a celebratory, pineapple rum-heavy meal (especially since there’s nothing on the menu you’ll say no to). Be sure to make a reservation ahead of time." - alison kessler, candis mclean
