Review summary

AI-generated from verified diner reviews
The Wednesday Room offers a cozy and stunning ambiance with "amazing food" and standout service often praised as "impeccable." Guests love the "delicious" burrata, sea bass, and carrot cake tres leches. While some dishes like the Wagyu burger received mixed feedback, the "knowledgeable" staff and vibrant atmosphere make it a memorable dining spot.

    Had a beautiful dinner date with my husband at The Wednesday Room. The ambiance was stunning and cozy. We started with the Burrata with pear sauce—absolutely divine! For mains, the sea bass was cooked to perfection. Desserts were a dream: I had the gluten-free apple pava, and my husband loved the carrot cake tres leches. A truly memorable evening—we’ll be back for sure!

    I had the Wagyu burger. What a disappointment. Total bill came down to $115 (18% tip) for 2 drinks (cider + mocktail), 2 meals (burger and pasta) and one dessert (apple pie). I tend to judge places that sell burgers by how they pair their burgers with their buns and let me tell you that the standard buns they served were not freshly baked, let alone toasted. The meat was overcooked which is such a let down. For a place that poses as a bougie lounge it fails tremendously. I should have known, because the first item on their menu is literally popcorn💀. The wait staff however is classy and reminded me of a that of a country club, in both demeanor as well as attitude. I'm never going back here again. I wish I had spent the money on ingredients. At least I know how to make a proper hamburger.

    As you can see from our other reviews, your opinion is not shared by others. We apologize if your burger was not cooked to your liking, next time let someone know, so they can fix your issue before you leave. Our popcorn and burger are 2 of our top selling items, with rave reviews. Thanks for sharing your opinion, and we look forward to not serving you again.

    The food was delicious and the atmosphere was great! Our food took a while to come out, but the staff were so sweet and gave us a free dessert to make up for it!

    The food and service was outstanding! Music was rap like. We are older so would have enjoyed a more mellow vibe.

    The room was quite cool perhaps a vent above us which was uncomfortable. We enjoyed all the dishes but a couple of them were outstanding
