April 25/2025: Dinner with my Al & Adrianna…read more This was really good but not fantastic. It was simply lacking flavour in my dish. My appetizer was the onion rings ($16.00). They were very good & a sizeable order as well. The main was the Enchiladas ($24.00 + $6.00) for the luke warm pulled pork. Our server "Moe" was so casual when she asked if I wanted pork or beef enchiladas but I should have looked for the extra pricing. Our server Moe was very funny & nice & she delivered solid service. It's a casual family style ambiance & the place was very busy but not packed. Not sure I'd go out of my way to dine here again. I give it a 4.0-Star.

Would definitely come again. First time having haggis and it was very good (a lot of friends and…read morefamily described it as just... meat, but we thought it was a well done preparation). Scotch Egg: Delicious dipped in that hp sauce. The cheese on the side is a nice touch to even the saltiness out. Rabbie Burns: The gravy really brought this dish home. Kind of like a mushroom cream sauce, though not really mushroomy. Buttery and luscious. I could drink it on its own but I held back (I have regrets about holding back). The description of haggis as just meat is kind of accurate. It was kind of silky like pate but also had a kind of hard rice texture. Herby and kind of gamey like organ meats are. If you like organ meats, you'll definitely like this, though I think it's a bit of a lighter flavor. Sticky Toffee Pudding: One of the best decadently sweet desserts I've ever had. The cake was soft and served fresh, warm, and juicy with sweetness. Just perfect in every way. Bury me with this sweet pudd.

The menu leans fusion, so there was a lot to try, and overall it felt like a fun place to share plates and compare notes with the table. The cocktails definitely stood out for being stronger than the usual lighter, sweeter drinks you get elsewhere, and the smoky cinnamon one was probably the most memorable. For appetizers, the beef tartare with bone marrow was the clear winner for me. The tartare tasted bright and fresh, and the marrow was rich without feeling greasy. The mussels were also enjoyable, mostly because they were fresh and sat in a creamy broth that made the whole dish feel comforting. We also tried the octopus with pumpkin purée, which had a nice chewy texture and a lovely sweetness from the purée, although a slight charred taste came through more than I personally wanted. For mains, a few dishes landed better than others. The ribeye with chimichurri was one of the stronger choices, tender, properly cooked medium rare, and especially good with that sharp, herbaceous sauce. The ribs were also very tender and full of flavor. The salmon in puff pastry was enjoyable enough that I would order it again, even though the pastry itself was a little softer than I expected. The udon carbonara was decent and comforting, but probably not the most memorable thing on the table, and the signature chicken had flavorful meat even if the rice leaned a bit too soft for me. One small complaint I kept coming back to was the bread, which tasted more charred than I like. Still, Wilcox feels like a nice little spot for a relaxed dinner with drinks, especially if you go in the mood to share, explore the menu, and order a few of the stronger dishes.

We ordered our food( it was a lot we were big group and came at a non busy time early for dinner) and ate as one does. The food was pretty typical cozy bar food with good enough quality.

Then we were talking catching up as they tell us that they need the table for a reservation at 530. No problem. Then with time left a group of people come in. Since we are close to the front we hear them say they have no reservations. Then the waitress kindly tells us that they need our table. So they kicked us out pretty much and that was slightly annoying. I wish they didn't lie though. But whatever.

The appetizers (calamari, mozza sticks, and wings) were great! Very solid choices although personally the wings (medium) were a little too sweet for us. Service was ok but the waitress did seem a bit stressed. The mains, however, were a bit disappointing. The burgers were just ok, my halloumi in the halloumi salad was burnt (although the salad itself was great), and the children's cheese sandwich was also burnt. The fish & chips were very oily. Usually I really want to like and rate local establishments well as I am a local myself, but burnt food is a no-no and unfortunately with kids I don't really have the time to ask for a remake. Great vibes for a good beer though.

I was immediately impressed when I walked inside, as the place has plenty of cool decor and boasts a dimly-lit feel that I find irresistible. As I scanned the menu, I was eventually drawn to the Bramble Burger ("House ground, Cheddar, Lettuce, Tomato, Pickle, Bramble berry relish"), which comes with fries. And I feel like I made the right choice because it's one tasty hamburger. I wouldn't rank it with the best in the city, but all the components were right on target and I enjoyed the heck out of it. The fries were great, too. I don't know why it took us so long to check out Bramble Gastropub, but I think it's safe to say we'll be returning sometime very soon.
