Wildwood Kitchen & Bar

Such a hidden gem. The food itself is enough to keep you coming back. The service is elite and we love the vibe of brunch on the patio. Live music, heaters for colder days/evenings and plenty of space for larger groups. Crème brûlée french toast was SO yummy and the grilled chicken sandwitch was good but that pesto aioli stole the show. Also, a $20 mimosa carafe ... need I say more?

Wow, I had waited a long time to be in this area and enjoy a meal at Wildwood. It was a waste of time for my wife and I. She was on a limited diet for health reasons and I was just plain disappointed by the kitchen and the serving staff. We knew it was Valentine's Day and the place would fill up for dinner, but we came in at 3pm and were warned they need the table by 5pm. With several booths open during our dining period they sat empty. We were seated closest to the front door on a high top table - not the most comfortable for the seventy year old crowd.The three of us ordered: V had a bowl of plain rice, I had the smoked Rib Eye Steak and a cup of french onion soup, and our friend had a Crispy Chicken Salad. I waited for the soup, anticipating a hot yummy bowl. It turned out that the bowl was barely warm, I could pick up the bowl with both hands and barely feel warmth, they also brought it after my steak was delivered, they apologized and took it off the ticket. V's plain bowl of arborio rice was not good - it was dry and lacking in arborio qualities of stickyness, etc. Our friend seemed to enjoy her salad. When I saw the smoked rib eye steak on the menu, I was happy. When it showed up and I tasted it I was not happy. THe 1/2" steak was not tender at all and had a sizeable piece of gristle within the steak. The flavor was odd and I did not finish it, even though it was small for a $45 dollar rib eye.Overall the kitchen failed us, the servers were very friendly but also failed us, I hope this is not a typical dinner here, we will not be coming back for a long time. One more complaint was the men's bathroom was horrible, it smelled strongly like a homeless camps urinal - not expecting this final disappointment.

Ambiance ~ A+Food ~ BCocktails ~ AService ~ A+Recommend. Always consistently good. Fun place for cocktail and great place for dinner. Excellent location in the Pavillons shopping area.Outside dining during nice weather is recommended!

Came here for a bday brunch and everything was outstanding. There were a lot of us and everyone pretty much ordered something different. I only heard good things from everyone except the pork belly fried rice. They said it wasn't tasty and was mushy. Resembled more of a risotto. I personally tried the grilled chicken sandwich with fries which was excellent! Great taste and the chicken was very juicy and tender. I also had an old fashion (amazing), regular mimosa, and the lavender lemonade. I didn't taste much lavender but my friend said they did, and personally it was too sweet for me, but still pretty good. The crab and artichoke dip was decent but I do think it's overpriced for the amount given. The restaurant as a whole is really gorgeous! There seemed to be a lot of seating and tons of outside seating as well with warmers and an area with a small fire pit. Parking seemed pretty packed given that there are a lot of other good restaurants in the area, but most of us easily found parking. There are two entrances which is a little confusing. Google maps took me to the back entrance. But it was fine. Now, our server - I believe her name is Alicia, wow - she was amazing! So pleasant, attentive, great personality, very friendly and was always smiling! We loved her!

The Wildwood Kitchen & Bar has been one of my go-to restaurants for a few years. Casual, yet classy experience. Great for a couple of drinks and "much" better with drinks and a "delicious meal". Both indoor and outdoor seating which is comfortable. Service has been consistently good.This time we stopped in for lunch. I started with a Frank Family Cabernet, very drinkable. Our meal included Soup, Poke, Dip and Salad. The French Onion Soup was exceptional. The cheesy toast on top was extra good. Our Crab and Artichoke Dip included Parmesan Crostini.My Ahi Poke was made with Ahi Tuna, Soy, Ginger, Shrimp, Macadamia Nuts, Avocado, Onion and Wonton Chips. FANTASTIC. Finally, the Chicken Salad included Rotisserie Chicken, Mixed Greens, Carrots, Red Onions, Tomatoes, Hard Boiled Egg and Balsamic Vinaigrette. This hit the spot.I recommend this Restaurant and Bar.

I love this local spot!! It's tucked away in the Pavillions and is so beautiful no matter where you sit! I love the bar, dining room, and outdoors. The staff is always pretty friendly. The menu doesn't offer too much but is always consistent. They do have a brunch which is super yummy. The drinks are always on point.

My sandwich was very tasty and filling, especially with the side of fries. Our waitress was super nice and always checked in with us to make sure everything was good. We went on a Friday night around 5:30 and it wasn't that busy, but it got packed around 7 or so. Thankfully the restaurant had plenty of indoor seating, and on the warmer days outdoor seating as well.

We have been coming here for the last few years. We love coming here with a group because it gives us a chance to try more and more things. Our most recent visit was for brunch after the breast cancer walk, the server was awesome and accommodated our party of 10. Everything was delicious, I personally had the Pork Belly Fried Rice, hubby had the French Toast. Not sure why we didn't get a photo of all the different dishes, but got a chance to try the chilaquiles and the avocado toast. We also ordered the pomegranate mimosa and the Pineapple and they complimented our brunchThis is a great to hang out with friends, enjoy drinks and yummy food. We shall return.

This place looks really nice and elegant. The inside is very spacious with a nice big bar in the middle . The outside has a lot more seating options . I came here with a friend and we sat out side it was a peaceful vibe . Our waiter was nice she maybe could have checked on us a little bit more . For food we ordered the chicken sandwich and a salad. I got the Cesar Salad it came with big anchovies on top I was not a fan of that . The salad was plain the chicken sandwich my friend said it lacked flavor . The drinks were pretty good . I have to say the restaurant is nice looking but food does not live up to how elegant it looks . I may give this place an other try if in the area .

I have been here a few times since my last visit, and I have to say that I don't enjoy it as much as I did the first time I dined here years ago. Pros:The restaurant itself is very nice and inviting, great patio area, lots of parkingCons: Food is mediocre with no particular dish standing out. The food isn't bad, but I haven't had anything I would recommend, or like enough to have again. Our last visit was very lackluster. Service was especially lacking. I don't know if they're short handed or what, but something is definitely amiss. When we were seated, it took them 20 minutes to come back for drink requests, and after that, another 40 minutes to take our order. We had a large group (about 10 of us) but we made reservations, so it's not like they didn't know we were coming. After our meal, it took another 35 minutes to get our check. And this was after they gave us our to go boxes. I had to walk up to the service area and ask for it. One of the bright lights of this experience was chatting with one of the servers (who was not our server unfortunately) while I was waiting for the bill. She was genuine and personable, and talking to her eased my tension a bit. I wish I got her name. I don't forsee visiting again in the near future.
