    We had a great birthday dinner at Wildlight: the restaurant was busy at 7:15, when we came, but we got a nice patio table marked with Birthday card from Wildlight, enjoyed our food (delicious dishes and impressive presentation) and cocktails, and had a really cool Riverside Rock cake for dessert from Wildlight. Our server was amazing - she went above and beyond to make our celebration special. We keep coming back to Wildlight for our special dates - great atmosphere, amazing food, and excellent service ❤️👍

    Booked the “Winter Lure” dome dining experience, pricey but worth every penny. It was myself, my wife, and our two children (4 & 2 ), and we could not have been happier. Service was prompt and very polite and genuine. The food was small portions but absolutely stunning, and cooked or prepared to perfection. They were very accommodating with the kids which was a huge bonus for us, and the temperature and sound levels were great, we even had blankets for our laps which my son and I used just for fun, plus there’s a Bluetooth speaker for your own tunes. 9/10, and the only reason I’m giving a 9 instead of a 10 is the price.
