Great for creative cocktails

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 restaurant accepted our reservation. Proceeded to allow us to check in with the host and be seated at a table then tell us “oh our kitchen is already closed for the evening”. As someone that try’s new restaurants on a regular basis for one of the largest restaurant platforms there is I must say in Allllll of my dining experiences this was the most unprofessional thing I’ve ever experienced and out of fear of the same thing happening to other ppl I wouldn’t recommend them atleast not in the evening!

It’s a beautiful place that has so much potential. However, service is confusing and underwhelming. There is no host or hostess for reservations and no clear path of where to see someone to sit. It lists no where on OpenTable or the website that the kitchen closes at 10, but there’s a “food and beverage” minimum for tables after 9pm. It doesn’t make any sense, it feels like there is no management and the staff is just unguided. Drinks were good and ambiance was great.

We were seated in a very low seating area that made it difficult to eat the food. We got our appetizers but not one piece of silverware or napkin for at least 15 minutes. Not comfortable at all. So I guess I would prefer a normal table. Ribs were dry and tough would never order that appetizer again, but it was fun to try several different things. Very loud to have a conversation and it almost seemed like the volume got turned up to drive you out as it was not so loud at first. Drinks were decent and happy hour prices made them better! I don't think I would try again though.
