    What a fantastic experience! We started our evening with cocktails in the bar area…delicious! Then onto our fantastic dinner - Caesar salad & scallops to start and then salmon and seafood risotto. Every dish better than the one before. The service was excellent, including the hostess, the waiter and the wonderful sommelier. A fantastic end to our visit to Dublin! Highly recommend!!

    The food was excellent from the scallop starter to the Halibut special- anything was expertly prepared. The sommelier made an excellent paring with our food selections as well as an after dinner Sauternes. Our waiter on the other hand was horrid no interpersonal or communication skills. We were celebrating a special occasion recognized by the hostess but totally ignored by our waiter even though tables around us had had special celebrations noted. Nor did he even ask if we wanted dessert! What could / should have been a lovely evening was negated due to the lack of attentive service. This waiter needs to go back to wait staff 101 training to get a personality and learn how to treat customers

    Non è la prima volta al Wilde, amiamo questo posto. È rilassante, si respira una bella atmosfera. Servizio con grande professionalità, menu abbastanza ricco anche se preferirei un po’ di innovazione nei piatti visto la struttura di lusso(westbury) Per la wine list ci sono molte etichette con prezzi troppo fuori mercato e la renderei molto più snella e facile da leggere. Per il resto resta sempre un posto fantastico.
