    This restaurant was the perfect place for a family celebration. The food was so delicious. The service and attention was amazing. They brought out a special dessert for the birthday celebration. The presentation was perfect and unexpected. Will definitely go back again soon.

    A gathering of old friends for a birthday celebration. Busy restaurant with a mix of groups, families and couples. Great ambience. Our request for a table conducive to chatting was honoured. Excellent reception at front desk and excellent, friendly, knowledgeable service from Kaylee. A good time was had by all. Lingered over the birthday dessert. Great food too! Love having a water bottle on table. I presume, manager, who was very hands on, visited our table twice. We shall return.

    The food is always good and consistent. Server made us feel very rushed the entire meal. Entrees were delivered before we were even close to finishing appetizers. Not happy with the level of attentiveness given to ensure we had a great experience.

    We have been to Wildcraft on many occasions, and they never dissapoint! While we weren't completely thrilled with one of our selections this time (which is a rarity), our server and restaurant management handled our concern without hesitation and with kindness and grace. It's easy to measure performance when all is well! It's when things go sideways & how issues are handled then where you see a company's true culture and customer service prowess. In this sense, Wildcraft rises to the top! A diverse menu, extensive wine list and one of my favorite patios in the summer... if you haven't been to Wildcraft yet, definitely stop in!

    The service and food was excellent. Disappointed that the salad that we ordered separately was served with the main course at the same time. We have never had that before when dining at Wildcraft which was unexpected. Had to eat the main course so the food didn’t get cold and left the salad for later. A disappointment for a birthday celebration.

    The menu was outdated and I was told by the server that the item I ordered had been different than as described for a year. My server was nice but forgot multiple requests and didn't come by enough to refill our water or get new purchased beverages when we wanted them. Love the aioli dip and garlic mashed potatoes but we didn't like most of the rest. I've liked other meals there before though frequently they overcook steak compared to what you order. I'd say make sure you will be happy with the seasoning choices and don't be shy if they cook the steak wrong to ask for correction.

    The food was amazing the cocktails were a bit disappointing for my first visit at this restaurant. A cocktail was ordered at the table that stated a pop rocks rim. The cocktail was ordered for the fun purpose of the rim. When we ordered it nothing was said. And when we received it the drink had no rom. We asked why there was no rim the server said they were out of pop rocks. Would have been nice to know prior to ordering. I ordered a Brooklyn sour. I received the drink and it was evidently a whiskey sour no red wine float. I then asked the server about it. She stated there was red wine in it (evident there was not) she asked if I wanted it remade, I stated it was fine. She checked with the bartender and came back with red wine to add to it. Margarita feature was okay didn’t finish it as wasn’t the best. Good food overall, it was absolutely delicious, however the cocktails subpar.

    Wildcraft made our experience enjoyable as per usual. Sydney took care of us at the bar. Drinks were on point. Steak woozers. Shout out to Justin, you can clearly tell his team is happy, well managed, and that his customers and quality is his first priority. Can't wait to come back.
