    Food was bland and overcooked. Staff was mediocre. Probably because the staff hung out at the bar talking instead of serving or checking on guests. Had to send my steak back since it was overcooked.

    Overall, just a fair rating, asked for a window seat and said it was a anniversary, upon getting to the table A inside table, we were seated no one asked about our 35-year wedding Anniversary server was very slow he did not bring the Baggett with the onion soup. got advocotto toast the bread was burned the rest was OK. I see them seat 3 guys at a open window seat. I was getting ready to go look at the dessert menu and ordered butterscotch cream musse Bruley after 10 min the waiter says O we ran out of that. I said get the check!!!!

    We made a 9:30 reservation, seated at 9:35 and told that we can only order food/drinks in the next 10 min, then dessert only. Ordered fish and chips platter and two drinks. As we ate, it became increasingly clear we were being asked to get out asap. Kitchen is an open kitchen and they were loudly cleaning up the china as we sat there eating. Someone was sitting there visibly counting occupied tables. Food came with the bill, "no pressure." It was our 12th anniversary, we had a baby sitter for this occasion, we never did get to order dessert, and we will never go back.

    How anyone could give this place below 4 stars is mind-boggling to us! We’ve been here several times now and will continue to come back. The view is reason enough to come eat here, but the food is so consistently good as well. We’ve always had great servers (even when they’re busy, which is more often than not) and the prices are completely reasonable considering their seafood is sustainably sourced and again, the VIEW. Anyway, I wanted to leave this in case the current rating is off putting to people— again, I have no idea how anyone could give this place a low rating. Make a reservation and GO enjoy this amazing place!!! Food recs: the Rosemary potato bread and calamari are a MUST for appetizers. The seafood chowder is also insane. The Trout Dijon is my favorite seafood entree so far, but my fiancé loved the pappardelle with sausage and mushrooms and the seafood fettuccine Alfredo. Enjoy!!!

    I ordered the steak (med rare) and romaine salad. The steak was very rare and chewy. My husband had the rib eye steak sandwich. This sandwich would have been best served with the steak sliced after grilling. Let it rest a few minutes and then slice it. It also needed a sauce and seasoning.

    Food is fantastic and the service was impeccable. The only negative was that our booth didn’t feel private. They have dividers they can move around the booth to section it off for multiple parties. Not a bad idea, it just felt like I was sitting against a stranger for my romantic dinner with my boyfriend.

    It's just ok, $50 a person I expect food cooked how I order it for starters, portions were a little meager. Ambiance was great because Point Ruston is nice. Mixed drinks were reasonable price and quality if a little small.

    The server forgot what appetizer we had ordered and later assured us that one we had NOT ordered would be right out. Took longer to get our drinks than apps. Forgot one drink and I just let it go. He was very personable and pleasant. The food is good but not spectacular. The waterfront view is amazing.

    I want to be clear: I did not give service 5 stars but out server, Elijah, was outstanding. I gave service 4 stars because, since Elijah was in training, I was made aware that he does not get to keep the tips he makes while in training and I'm not okay with that. WildFin can do better to treat their employees as people from day one. Other than that the food was great!

    We went on a super busy night so I think the servers were a little overwhelmed. But we ended up getting our appetizers after our entrees. And it was clear the pasta in my dish had sat for a little bit before making it to the table. A little disappointing since this is usually one of our favorite restaurants.

    I was looking for a place to celebrate a special event. This restaurant had a lot of recommendations. The restaurant was loud, the food was cold, and it felt more like a casual diner than a nice restaurant. The positive was our server who was very nice and attentive.

    We love WildFin and come for special occasions. Disappointed this time around. Fish was over cooked on each dish. Assuming it was an off day. We had “All In” Fish and Chips, Alaskan Crab stuffed rockfish and Prosciutto wrapped black cod. The Calamari appetizer was incredible though!

    We took my son out for his 21st birthday. We wanted something special. Our lunches were all very good. We were not disappointed. The Rosemary Potato bread was delicious! We each had something different-fish tacos, cheddar burger, french dip and fettuccine with shrimp. The portions were a good size and value. We were seated inside, and had a nice view. We would definitely recommend this restaurant.

I would mention that when I made the reservation, that I did state this was a birthday celebration, but no one there acknowledged it, so that was a bummer & I wasn't about to say anything when my sister and I were seated..bleh
