Diner Reviews
  • "The Salmon was a little on the sweeter side. The filet was melt in your mouth tender and cooked to my husbands specifics. Filet tops it!"
    Dined on 3/7/2014
  • "The food was very good; the drinks were average but the service (Mark) was outstanding. Average cost per person for a meal, one drink each and a dessert was $55 plus tip. The ambience was very good and the number of diners kept increasing as the evening went on. The increasing number of diners made for a pleasing evening."

  • "This is one of our favorite restaurants. The seasonal menus and specials offer new options and our server, Rachel was very helpful and very personable!"

  • "Best part of our experience was the bar. Excellent service, Excellent drinks. but $12 for a scotch manhattan is too pricey. Dinner was just okay. Very expensive. Steamed Sea Bass was a generous portion, but the fish was musshy...lacked the tender flakey texture of Sea Bass. Safron rice was luke warm and some sections of the rice were still clumped togehter and hard. At $35 for a Sea Bass dinner, I was very disappointed that the chef could not prepare it pan seared or grilled when others at my table were having different fish pan seared. I could understand if the house was packed with people dining, but that was not the case...3/4 of the tables were empty at 7:30 pm on a Friday night."

  • "I had the Two Tournados (Beef Tenderloin with Crap meat) and my wife had the Pork Chop wrapped in bacon with a baked potato on the side. i found the beef to be a little more chewy than I would like with an OK flavor. I didn't really taste much of the crab meat at all. My wife liked the Pork chop, and loved that the brought you a small bar for the baked potato (sour cream, bacon bits and Chives). For desert we had a chocolate and strawberry crepe. It had one strawberry cut up on top of crepes that seemed to be filled with more whipped cream than any chocolate (white or otherwise), so pretty bland. The drink menu was very full with beer and wine choices. offer mixed drinks, but not on a menu."

  • "The food was delicious. Our problem was we ordered off the menu, got our appetizers and salad and then they told us that one entree ordered was seasonal. So that person reordered the duck like another person in our party. After a few minutes we were told duck was also seasonal so 2 people had to reorder. Then the manager came over and basically said sorry. We felt like he should have offered a free drink or dessert on them. So why offer a menu without specifying what is available and why did it take so long to figure out the entrees weren't available. Poor service but delicious food"

  • "Beautiful restaurant but the food is OK at best and they price their food about $10 more a plate than it's worth. I most likely will never go back there again on my own free will. There is a lot better in Geneva and St. Charles."
    Dined on 2/14/2014
  • "The food we ate was not even sub par. I had to get a different side with the sea bass I offered because the rice had a dried crunchy top on it telling me it had been sitting out in a container somewhere. Not even edible. The sea bass was so under flavored I had to add salt so I could eat it. It was a total waste of our money. Never again."

  • "Food was very good and waiter was friendly and attentive. We went the night before Valentines Day to avoid the crowds. The restaurant was lively but not full, which was perfect because we didn't feel rushed. We will be back."

  • "This is the 2nd or 3rd Valentines Day that my hubby & I went to WildWood in Geneva, Il. How disappointing!!! Each year the quality level & satisfaction level decreases. Feb 14, 2014 will be our last one spent at WildWood. Last year, or maybe 2012, they sent us home with a small bottle of champagne with a little note attached as a token of appreciation from WildWood. This year...a red rose for the lady. (What happened to the bubbly?) My husband was displeased with the temperature of his steak & our server was unsure how to handle my husbands request. While we were awaiting our servers return, we placed my hubby's plate to the side of the table. A "busboy" asked if he could take the plate away? (He couldn't see the full-size steak?)"

  • "We dined at Wildwood regularly when it first opened. Had a bad experience one time and stopped going. We decided to give it another shot. I think it is just mediocre at best. Salads came warm and tasteless. Entrees were just O.K. For thr price, the quality just isn't there."
    Dined on 2/8/2014
  • "We've come to Wildwood off and on over the years and have never been disappointed. It was a mid-week night and wasn't full so we pretty much had our pick of tables. The wait staff was very accommodating to our dietary needs and modified the meals slightly. We don't need to be invited to come back."

  • "It was okay. Went for a special occasion and based upon the reviews that I read I expected more."

  • "The food was awesome, service was great, had a hard time deciding what to order. We will be back to try other items."

  • "My dining experience was phenomenal! Our server, Michelle, always greeted my daughter and I with a smile in a very friendly, courteous manner. :) The bussers were always on top of things--I never had to ask for more water, etc. Even the owner took interest, stopping by our table to make sure we were content, and we were! It was so refreshing to see a restaurant owner take the time to converse with his patrons. For dinner I chose one of the Seasonal Special entrees-in which my daughter kept taking bites from-because it was to die for!!! I will be back to try the other specials! Thank you so much for such a wonderful evening complete with excellent food and service!"

  • "Always reliably good food and service. The ambiance is wonderful and the location is perfect. Prices are appropriate as well."
    Dined on 1/11/2014
  • "We wanted to make this a nice dinner so drive 45 minutes to get to the restaurant in snow. We were seated and then no one came to the table until after we had been sitting for 25 minutes. There seemed to be only two wait staff for a packed room. Service was very poor, so they offered free glass of wine. Requested Riesling, received Sauvignon Blanc. We ended being there two hours, most of the time waiting for someone to either place the order, and then receive the check. Also, when we did get the salad, the main meal came out within 10 minutes.. didn't really get to enjoy the bread and salad (which was very good). Probably won't be back there."

  • "We went here for New Years Eve. The menu was very limited. Our steaks were good, but they only came with potato and salad. Not enough selection on the steaks. I ordered the ribeye and had to split it with my mother because it was only offered in a 16oz. The service was slow but it was very busy so I'm not going to complain about it. I thought it was very expensive for what you get."
    Dined on 12/31/2013
  • "We love this restaurant. It is a cozy warm atmosphere and is much quieter than restaurants with hard modern surfaces. Our food was delicious. (I had skate wing and my husband had the woodsman's chicken.) We were also pleasantly surprised that the menu did have some lower priced items. We plan on coming more regularly."
    Dined on 12/21/2013
  • "I ate there with my fiancé and couple friends. The beer and wine list provided many options. I ordered the pecan crusted salmon which came with rice and I ordered asparagus and sweet potatoes on the side. I wasn't as impressed with the salmon as it hoped. The mashed sweet potatoes were amazing. I was a little disappointed in the rice and asparagus. My fiancé got the steak salad and she was very satisfied with it. The service was excellent and very friendly. Overall I would go back I just hope they change how they prepare a few things."

  • "While the food was good and the restrauant was not crowded for a Saturday night, we were very rushed."
    Dined on 12/28/2013
  • "Great place to spend Christmas Eve in the past however this dinner took quite a long time to be served. This was the only negative issue, as by the time we received dinner we were all ready to move on, hence the meal was not as enjoyable as it could have been."
    Dined on 12/24/2013
  • "My wife and I have always enjoyed the food and ambience at Wildwood restaurant. We were not disappointed on this occasion as we celebrated our anniversary. Our seafood dinners were cooked to perfection, and the staff made the occasion thoroughly pleasant."
    Dined on 12/26/2013
  • "We waited for over an hour for our food. The beer & wine were good but the food not so much. The steaks were tasteless and my salmon wasn't fully cooked. Granted we went on Christmas Eve but I had reservations made well ahead of time."
    Dined on 12/24/2013
  • "Christmas Eve dinner:found that for the price, the overall experience was poor. They sat us almost directly in front of the door where we got an arctic blast every 60 seconds. After 15 minutes of shivering my husband asked for a new table . The new table was almost in the kitchen walkway. Our entrees took 1 1/2 hours to arrive. The waiter apologized 3 times and admitted they were overbooked. Another patron walked to the kitchen and demanded to see her waiter where she loudly voiced her displeasure with the service. 3 of our 5 like our meals.Will not return."

  • "Food and service excellent. Ambiance nice. Noise level too high. It was hard to hear what others at the table were saying. I, however, highly recommend Wildwood."
    Dined on 12/24/2013
  • "My wife and I love Wildwood for it's unique and delicious food, lively scene and the bar with live music. If you are lucky, you can land a pub table in the bar next to the huge stone fireplace and take in the live music. Great place, give it a try!"

  • "We were there for a Saturday lunch. The food was good. We ordered the turkey pot pie. My wife ordered hot tea. They said they were out of tea. REALLY! Then several people ordered one of their desserts. Guess what. They were out of it. I don't understand the problem of not having tea bags. When they gave us the dessert menus they should have said upfront that they were out of a particular dessert rather than taking the order and then having to come back."

  • "We were in Geneva for the Christmas walk with friends and have dined at Wildwood before. The food was very good as we expected though the service was not as good as it has been in the past."
    Dined on 12/6/2013
  • "Sorry to say, my birthday dinner was a bust. Granted, it was one of the busiest nights of the year for our town; however, we expected the entire staff to have been prepared. Our family of 4 was there for 2 hours (2 adults, 2 kids). Our entrees were one of either bland, small in portion, or just not good. Our server was overwhelmed, often confused, and given a comment we received from a manager, had some sort of "poor communication" with the kitchen about our meal. in the end, we received the wrong check, which was about $100 more than what ours was. Sorry, Wildwood - we won't be returning."
