About this restaurant

Charming
Great for outdoor dining
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.

Took some friends that were visiting out of town to the Wilder’s burlesque brunch. The performances were great but short. I’d estimate there was one performance every 30 minutes. The food and drink presentation was fabulous but the quality/taste left me unimpressed for the price. We had a good experience but agreed we’d likely not return for second time.

It was fine. Service was not great. Brunch was fun, but wouldn’t race back. Better to go with a big group for a birthday.

2 hour drag brunch "experience" consisted of two performers, and 3 songs. Total. Ambiance was 2 large disorderly parties of drunken women loudly telling stories full of profanities. If that's the "experience" you're looking for in a Sunday brunch, this is the place!

I heard about them from Tik Tok and went for happy hour, this was my second time. I was satisfied with my drinks, server was good, ambiance was okay. I’ve pretty much tried all the Happy Hour menu in my 2 visits. Didn’t try anything that I didn’t like…. They do physically hold your credit card upon being seated and served until you close your bill, which I’m not too fond of. But it’s likely to lessen the probability of someone running out on their bill. I would come back again.

The food was incredibly delicious, but the prices were a bit steep. The table-style seating was a bit uncomfortable, requiring you to adopt a specific position to eat. Additionally, the tables were quite small, which was the only downside I found.
