Denver diners are getting a shorter, cheaper way into The Wolf's Tailor universe this summer. Sheep, a three-month residency from Id Est Hospitality, is taking over the sixth-floor rooftop of the Clayton Hotel & Members Club in Cherry Creek from July 8 through October 4. The pop-up will serve a four-course, choice-driven tasting menu for $95, a trimmed-down spin on the group’s higher-priced Wolf's Tailor experience. Organizers say the goal is to translate the restaurant’s open-fire, zero-waste ethos into a more compact, shareable format tailored to the neighborhood crowd.
A Smaller Wolf's Tailor For Cherry Creek
Id Est founder Kelly Whitaker says Sheep was dreamed up as a more approachable entry point into the Wolf's Tailor world. “I wanted to get people that abbreviated experience at a lower price point,” he explained, according to Westword. The outlet notes that Id Est will keep the original $225 Wolf's Tailor experience in play while offering the $95 abbreviated menu, giving diners a choice based on time, budget, or how adventurous they are feeling. Westword also reports that the Sheep residency will be open to both Clayton members and the general public.
When, Where And How To Book
OpenTable lists Sheep as running from July 8 through October 4, with dinner service starting at 5 p.m. every night. Weekend lunch is on the schedule too, with Saturday and Sunday seatings from noon to 2 p.m. The $95 tasting is shown as the residency’s primary offering. According to OpenTable, reservations must be made through the restaurant’s online booking page, and phone inquiries are routed through the Clayton Hotel.
Menu, Team And Design
The Sheep meal is structured into four courses named smoke, ember, flame, and ash, with vegetarian, fish or meat options at each step, Westword reports. Core Wolf's Tailor staff will be running the show, including chef de cuisine Taylor Stark and executive pastry chef Emily Thompson. Caroline Clark is overseeing the beverage program, while Suzanne Roberts is helping steer operations. Id Est tapped design studio Wunder Werkz and Dublin-born artist Ronan Dillon for on-site installations, and Denver Modern provided new furniture for the rooftop setting.
Why The Pop-Up Matters
The Wolf's Tailor picked up its second MICHELIN Star in 2025, becoming Colorado’s first two-star restaurant, according to the MICHELIN Guide and local coverage. For anyone who has balked at committing to the full experience, the Sheep residency offers a more accessible way to sample the kitchen’s open-fire cooking and sustainability-focused approach during peak patio season.
