    New Year’s Eve at Wildwood was a blast! Our meals were prepared to perfection and the 80s band was awesome! I definitely recommend Wildwood for good food and entertainment.

    We love it there always get a good table and have fun our server for the last two times was very nice and friendly and good. I think she had most of the tables in our section. I think she might be one of the managers or owners not sure. We are always greeted by a really nice guy again no name.

    We appreciate that Wildwood was open on Thanksgiving. We had a great meal and service was gracious.

    My family and I had a great time in a cozy booth, a delicious meal, nice ambiance, complete with nearby tunes from a very talented live band on the back patio. We are lucky to live so close to such a happening place with always very friendly staff.

    Love the love music at Wildwood. As usual, the Buckley's were phenomenal! I really enjoy the soft classic rock of the 70's! Food and service was perfect too!

    I'm a huge fan! The food (I had the lobster ravioli last night), service (Lindsey is exceptional) and the Motown music provided by the Urban Gypsy's was over the top. Great time by all.

    The service was great, but we did have lunch at 2:00 in the afternoon on a Monday so it was quiet at the restaurant. The Sangria was delicious, the food was good, but not great. However, the patio looked over a park with a creek and was a great view, even though on a busy street.
