   Great dinner at The Wilson. My salad, fish tacos, whipped potatoes and cookie skillet were all delicious, and my server Brenda was fantastic. I look forward to going back very soon.

   My visit would have been a five star experience except for the fact that I was seated within three feet of the only other two parties in the entire restaurant. At 07:30 a.m. on a Thursday, I doubt, and as my stay would confirm, that you're in a sell-out situation. There's no need to seat everyone so close to one another. Frankly at that hour of the morning, I don't like other humans much less want to be so close I can hear them chewing with their mouths open. I would have enjoyed myself much more having been seated farther away.

    I feel rather misled on this choice for an after the theater dinner. It was not what I would describe as a "neighborhood gem" or "fit for foodies". It was too bright, too noisy, too cafeteria-like. It is off the lobby of a boutique hotel. True, we had the best seat in the house thanks to Open Table, but that couldn't overcome the disco noise. I never felt we were in 'capable hands' by the waiter. Nothing was suggested to us, so I defaulted to a burger, which was fine but nothing extraordinary. My friend had baked clams, which were very bland and too cheesy. The fries were soggy. It might have well have been Red Robin. I am sure someone looking fo a lively drink scene might have enjoyed themselves, but it was not the Manhattan dining experience I was hoping for.

    Had a wonderful Sunday brunch at the Wilson. Food was very good and I enjoyed the ambiance. Server was professional and polite but not as attentive as I would like...had to ask for coffee refills, could not be found when we were ready for the check.

    Went there for lunch, so the atmosphere for dinner could be different. It felt corporate, and a good place for a business meeting. Vey quiet and space. Definitely, a perfect place to chat over the drink. The food was okay, but not more than that. Had a burger, two salads, oysters. The fries were the best dish on our table.

    Wonderful dining experience at The Wilson. My salad, scallops and mashed potatoes were all delicious. And the cookie skillet dessert was just awesome. The service was outstanding and the prices most reasonable. The heated patio is a great option, as well.

    The server was nice and the food was very good. However, the wait time for our food was lon,g and I had to wait 20 minutes to receive the bill after flagging down our server. It appears the server may have been responsbile for too many tables as he was working diligently.

    Warning: Do not come here for brunch if you (a) have even the slightest hangover, (b) actually want to have a conversation with the people you are dining with, or (c) enjoy delicious food. Mark my words: you will be disappointed and hearing impaired by the time you leave. Do come here for brunch if you (a) are a tourist who happens to be staying at the hotel and don't feel like leaving the building, (b) have no interest in hearing what anyone in your party has to say, (c) want to feel like you're clubbing at 1:00 pm, or (d) enjoy overpriced and underwhelming food. Don't get me wrong, I love Rihanna as much as anyone, but I also like being able to have brunch with my friends without feeling like my ear drums are rupturing or my brain is hemorrhaging. We literally started texting one another at one point, and my husband left to go outside three times during the course of the meal because he had a pounding headache. We would have felt better about the overall experience if the food had been good, but it was not well executed at all. The hangover hash was mushy and under seasoned. The market salad had barely any visible farro or ingredients other than greens. The cacio e pepe tots didn't really have cacio e pepe flavor, just some grated pecorino on top. The worst offender was my salmon bagel, which wasn't even a NY bagel. It was a very sad, small, plain lender's-type bagel with almost no cream cheese and a couple of slices of brownish-tinged salmon, pickled onions, and a slice of mealy tomato. I've had much better bagels at any corner bodega in the city. It was comparable to the first and last time you make the mistake of ordering a desperation bagel at a strip mall on a road trip through Smalltown, USA. The only reason I am giving the place two stars instead of one is because the staff members were very nice and the service was good overall.

    Food was delicious (I had the scallops and the squash side, yum). The only complaint we had at our table was that the roasted chicken came by itself on a plate - no sides, nothing. We all thought that was odd and that there should've been something, potatoes or vegetable that comes with that entree, especially for the price. Other than that, loved the patio seating that is now enclosed by a glass wall. Really fun atmosphere! I will definitely return.

    NEVER AGAIN. We arrived after traveling for an hour, only to be told the ENTIRE place was closed for last minute private functions. Wilson confirmed our reservation- we have it in writing - they left us in NYC on Marathon Weekend with no place to eat! No apologies no nothing - just suck it up and move on! We spend BIG - even confirming large stocks of Champagne - only to be denied entry at the door. All after restaurant CONFIRMED THE RESERVATION!! Obviously no respect for Customers. Spend your money elsewhere where Customers are valued.

    We had dinner at The Wilson before the Billy Joel concert at MSG. We were promptly seated at our reservation time of 5:30pm. Their Happy Hour cocktails were well crafted and delicious. We appreciated not breaking the bank on the bar bill. The food was fresh and delicious. We had the calamari starter—perfectly crisp coating with good texture on the inside. Main course was perfect. Affrogato with salted caramel gelato for dessert. Service was attentive. Awesome!

    My Cousin recommended The Wilson for me and my 13yo Daughter before we went to see Harry Styles at MSG. The space and decor are beautiful. The restaurant was busy with costumed customers as it was the night before Halloween and the DJ was spinning some great music at an enjoyable noise level. All the staff from the Manager, hostesses, and waitstaff were super friendly and accommodating. Our drinks and food arrived very quickly, considering how busy it was. My Wife and I will definitely be returning with friends for dinner and drinks in the near future.

    The ambience of The Wilson is the best. It was like we were eating at an underground speakeasy for breakfast but so much brighter. As I said, my party of 2 and I went for breakfast, which was before brunch time so I couldn't have the Hangover Hash I wanted to try. What I did get was the Crab Benedict, which was real good. I'd return to try other things for brunch or dinner.

    I went here with a friend for brunch. We were seated in the back ROSE GARDEN which at the time of reviewing was decorated beautifully with flowers, a swing and very cute decor. The food was fabulous and the restaurant is a good place to meet up with friends or family. The restaurant is in a hotel so weekends will often get busy. If you go ask to be seated in the rose garden, it’s a treat.

    A lot went wrong including items in the menu we were informed were not available, our servers were gone for long periods of time and our waiter kept changing, it took a few requests to receive things we asked for (like water, utensils). The food and drinks were not very good (one drink was more than half full of ice), only the chicken and mushrooms were enjoyable. This could have been such a better experience and I’m pretty disappointed.
