Medium Risk NYC Grade: A

Going back to 2023, Wolf Forest has five inspections in the public record. On Mar 11, 2026, the health department conducted the most recent visit. The medium risk tier sits in the middle: not spotless, but not alarming either.

When inspectors have written things up, “food, supplies, or equipment not protected from potential source” has been the most frequent reason, cited four times.

Among Manhattan restaurants, this is a fairly standard result. The full record sits in fairly typical territory for a working restaurant.
