e were looking for Vegan options. This place has many. The staff is super nice and attentive. Some of our food choices were outstanding, others were very good. There was a nice jazz trio playing as well. They were great. Ask to be seated away from the bar area if you prefer a quieter experience.

Food was spectacular. Great music and atmosphere. A bit slow on service but it was packed for Valentine’s Day. Will definitely try again when it’s not a holiday.

This was our favorite NYE dinner out. The food was incredible and was paired with a wine for each course. Most places would give you very cheap wine that you can barley drink but not Wild side! The wine pairings were fantastic! Each course of food was delicious and the dessert was incredible. Live music is always great here. We will be back next NYE. We love this place. Our favorite restaurant!

Went for the Christmas day dinner and lobster was raw inside. Sent it back and received a new one but that was raw in the middle as well. They comped the meal and a gave us a complimentary port which was super nice. They were apologetic and genuinely sorry. The burger was good and the filet mignon was a bit under cooked

I've been there a bunch of times and they never disappoint. There's always some favorites on the menu but you can look forward to seasonal changes. It was a Monday so it was quieter than usual. Typically there is a good bar crowd and music on weekends but we were fine with the scene. The service is great. They are good at making item recommendations, and make sure your overall happy and satisfaction level is achieved during your dining experience.

Interesting menu, good friendly service, great sounding live jazz ( not to loud). Wine menu could be better. If you order the scallops be aware that they are cooked/seared on rare side on purpose. Delicious pizzas!

Many of the menu items are spicy. Limited items that are not spicy. There was a jazz band playing. Very loud. Some people seemed to be there for the music. Veggie ramen bowl was very tasty, but small for the money. Short ribs somewhat spicy but tasty. Forbidden rice is a must dessert. Staff are friendly.
