Great for happy hour

This is the watering hole for bon vivants with a vision.
The venue offers a cool, relaxing, intoxicating space where you can escape with friends and get lost in a moment. It is comprised of three rooms with distinct personality - A cocktail bar, turning out masterfully executed libations, a terrace, for sun-drenched revelry, and a scintillating great room, hosting near-nightly parties for a sophisticated collection of clientele.

The atmosphere at the WILDER is playful, but elevated, intoxicating, but familiar, tropical, enticing, and a place to, well, get WILD, that feels more like a secluded, storybook escape than a bar or lounge. Guests are at ease, and the staff is polished, friendly, and faultless.

The service was slow. The show was good, the food selection is limited for it being a brunch and portion are VERY small. It was fun to have the experience but the food needs some improvement

This was a very fun and happening place. Loud music with good subwoofer. Wonderfully decorated. Having a few young women dance around and take some clothes off was fun. (We went for Sunday brunch.) Our server was excellent. However, the food was not good at all. One dish was just raw zucchini and arugula with virtually no dressing added. The other was supposed to include bacon, but had nothing but a few crumbles - mostly just uninteresting potatoes. Drinks were decent.

The decor ambience was very nice. I work for the bonus shell on Sunday, which was very nicely done and they said drinks and appetizers, and I would say the food was not my favorite. I would suggest it at something we need to do replace a full of people and everyone seems to be having a great time.

Tamara aka T (Manager) Keke Kiara (server) Milana bartender Nikki Nati Our experience at the Wilder under an all female team was beyond amazing not taking away from the male bartender he was rocking as well. The manager who likes to be called T was phenomenal. She greeted us as though we were family. The energy inside and out was awesome! Our waiter Keke, attention to our needs were beyond amazing as she also checked in with all 5 tables that she served in our area! The wait for our food and drinks was no more than 2-3 minutes. The food was delicious we tried most of the small plates did not disappoint, kudos to the kitchen staff. Me and my husband will definitely come back as regulars ❤️ Nicole and Donald
