Espresso martini
StaciLei T.

When you're first stop is at Wilder, you know you're in for a good night. Came in with a crew for espresso martinis and light apps. We were rolling deep with 9 of us, so luckily we were able to reserve a table for all of us ahead of time. I love an espresso martini and they really know how to do it up here! Topped with gold dusted espresso beans and the perfect amount of depth and sweetness. I flew into San Fran earlier this day and the caffeine boost was exactly what I needed to start off the night strong. For bites we got the baked goat cheese and oysters. These bites were definitely made to share -- it was so easy to put the plates in the middle of the table and have everyone grab what they wanted. I'm still getting over an oyster aversion but loved the goat cheese with some yummy bread. Overall, really loved the vibe of the whole place and even checked out the very clean bathrooms before heading out.

We stopped in for drinks and light bites with a group of nine. This spot was welcoming, bright and the decorations were fun as well. Definitely a cool spot for a drink. Most of us ordered espresso martinis and they were delicious. A great coffee flavor, and no too sweet. I also liked the gold dusted espresso beans they topped the drink with- a very cute touch. The bites were also tasty, and easily shareable. We ended up with the baked goat cheese and some oysters. I'd love to see what this spot looks like later in the evening, but I loved the vibes early on a Tuesday evening. Still bright, not too loud, and we had a perfect large table where we could all talk together.

Wildest Burger w/side caesar salad.
Jason S.

Went for dinner on a Friday around 7 PM and were seated right away, no wait for a table of three. We had originally planned to go elsewhere, but with an hour-long wait there, we ended up at Wilder--and I'm glad we did. I ordered the Wildest Burger, and it was incredible. The combination of the burger patty, mortadella, braised pork belly, and American cheese was spot on. Instead of fries, I opted for a side Caesar salad, which had just the right amount of dressing but could have been a little colder. Service was great, too. Overall, a fantastic experience and will be back!

Bar area

Good vibes and really friendly staff. They let me and a friend hang out at the bar for nearly 3 hours to get wine buzzed. I'll definitely be back!

Wilder has cute decor and a fun atmosphere! The service was great and the food came quickly. For lunch I had the Chicken Caesar Wrap and it was one of the best I've had in San Francisco! If you're in the area I definitely recommend stopping by.

STEAMED PORK BELLY BUNS, spritz tower, and French Fries
Mary Bryan O.

Great place for a weekend happy hour! We got the spritz tower (5 spritz for 45 dollars!). The steamed pork belly buns, fries and wings are great! My friend got their chicken Caesar salad which seemed reliable. I hope they decide to bring back tini Thursdays again- that was an unbeatable deal!

French Fries and a dirty martini
Alyssa D.

I love coming here for a crisp martini that is accompanied by a side car so you're truly getting bang for your buck. They are fantastic every time, no matter which bartending is crafting them. Now to the food, honestly, I'm not impressed. The French fries were good, don't get me wrong but if you are looking to go somewhere for a meal there are better options in the area. I felt like the food was lacking flavors, we got wings, burrata, ahi taco and more. I wouldn't go back for any of these items, only for the martini.

Crab avocado toast
Christine W.

Came here with a friend for brunch before shopping around the Marina! The food was great in my opinion. My friend and I got the crab avocado toast and the blueberry ricotta pancakes to share! The crab avocado toast was delicious and definitely a highlight for me - a 10/10. The blueberry ricotta pancakes were a bit on the sweeter side, but I still enjoyed it. The fruit was also very fresh - a 8/10. My friend and I also both each got froses, which come in the cutest bear cups! It was a bit more alcoholic than I expected, but still very good! The ambiance is also nice, and the bathrooms as well as the interior are all decorated very beautifully! I really liked the style. The service was also very good as the servers were attentive and checked up on us periodically :) Overall, I would definitely come back again for brunch!

Outside

Busy but fun night vibe. We didn't have any food, but we had a few cocktails. We had lemon drop martinis. $12 each. Very yummy

CALAMARI AND BRUSSELS SPROUTS
Susan T.

Oh boy !!! What an amazing experience here !!! Came here to celebrate our friend 35TH birthday and omg !!! The service was beyond incredible!!!Riley was honestly so sweet ! She walked us there the menu, let us know what type of drinks they had! We got the steaks and pork chops ! RECOMMENDING THE STEAK !! It's sooooo good !!! Their appetizers was amazing as well! Definitely the calamari's was our tables favorite !! It was very cozy inside, making the dinner very intimate with our friends ! Definitely would come back !!

Rebecca B.

Great menu and hands-down the best vibe on Fillmore Street. The craft cocktails are top-notch, and the espresso martinis are still the best in the city. Food is always amazing. It's usually crowded when I'm there--which probably says it all. Fun atmosphere and awesome ambiance. Love this spot!

Amy G.

This is the best place for outdoor drinks because it's not nearly as crowded as Balboa, but has better service and vibes. Their happy hour deals are phenomenal! Highly recommend checking the times and menus and coming with a group of friends. Brunch food was okay, definitely not amazing but the prices are fantastic and the servings are hefty. Not a ton of flavor but can all be elevated with some hot sauce that you can ask for on the side! $5 mimosas (multiple flavors to choose from!) and frose on the weekends from 10a-12p are the best way to kick off a beautiful day - especially the frosé which comes with gummy bears on top.

September drink of the month
Shelby S.

TL;DR Cute spot; great for happy hour My friend found this place on TikTok and recommended that we go. I got there a little early so I went to the bar and got the cocktail of the month. It was happy hour (I think it goes until 6:30 PM on weekends) so the drink was only $9! Talk about throwback pricing The drink was good and the bartender was super nice. During September, it's this gin/passionfruit/piña colada/ginger beer esque drink that's not too sweet but also not too tart. Once my friend got there, we ordered espresso martinis. It was a good martini to me, included the 3 beans, and wasn't too sweet or overly espresso tasting. I wasn't that hungry so I got the happy hour croquet. I didn't know what to except but it was tasty and exceeded my expectations. Id definitely get this again during happy hour! My friend enjoyed her burger Service was great. Playlist was interesting in a good way. I think I overheard that they were using a Spotify playlist but some of the songs were skipped which kind of threw the vibe off at times (but in a very minor way). I walked here but my friend was able to find street parking not too far away. There are great views from this restaurant if you want to see the sunset.

Quick bite with super friendly service…read more Stopped by on a Monday morning for brunch. Bright, clean environment. Though the waiter encouraged a second beer a few times (so unprofessional for me at 10 am), it was all in good fun. Thai tea French toast is as advertised and delightful. Instead of syrup it comes with a Thai tea flavor glaze. Lovely arrangement of fruit as well. Toast is standard thickness for bread, cooked well. All combined, I was really pleasantly surprised. Though I love French toast, I usually feel queasy and overfull afterwards. Sugar drenched. Not here, my friend. Delicate flavor. Not overly heavy or sweet. Just right for a sophisticated palate. Went well with beer. But just one beer.

A great brunch spot that takes reservations (there were even reservations still available the…read moremorning of a holiday weekend)! Drinks - more options than the food, which is really saying something. We got the pink dalgona coffee and a lychee jasmine tea. Both weren't just good but also came with fresh fruit on top. For food we got the chicken & pandan waffle combo that came with two eggs and sriracha bacon. The waffle was perfection, crispy and light while still very flavorful. The chicken had a nice thin crisp on the outside but was a little dry and flavorless on the inside. The bacon actually tasted better with the waffle than the chicken did. That was really the only flaw for this place (4/5 stars). We also got the steak benedict that comes with a curry hollandaise. This was really unique and we'd absolutely get it again. The potatoes on the side were also crispy and they give a lot of fresh fruit too!

Excellent service! My only advice is to come and see for yourself. When we called to ask about a…read morewait, they mentioned there was not wait... part of the reason they do that is because they don't keep a list. You either have reservations or you're a walk in and you stand in line until a table is available for you. At first this was strange, but I think it makes for a better experience. The team was incredible, they were so kind on a day that can be stressful for a small restaurant. We had incredible food. I was so happy to get my Eggs Royale and my husband said the French toast was the best he's ever had. (Even comparing it to French toast in Paris) No notes. This will be our Mother's Day place going forward next time with reservations.

It seems like this place is an asian fusion brunch place incorporating french dishes into thai/asian themed dishes which is up our alley. We made a reservation at 1:45 PM and we had to wait for about an extra 30 minutes before getting seated. Initially, I wanted to try their crab fried rice but unfortunately they were out of crab. We decided to get the Alcatraz Escape and the Brioche french toast which were recommended by the wait staff. The staff was generally friendly and accommodating but I can tell they were swamped and stressed out with all the people they were trying to serve. The food itself tasted decent, the Alcatraz Escape had a tasty flavor which incorporates tom yum paste (sweet, sour, tangy flavor) into their scramble with about 4 shrimps. The side of crispy chicken was good but nothing that stood out to us. The brioche was soft but there wasn't much flavoring besides the fruits and caramelized banana. It was served with evaporated milk which made the brioche soft but not adding much flavor to it. The price however was quite pricey. For two dishes as a side we paid around $78 with tax and tip.

In town visiting San Francisco for the first time & heard this place was a must try and a MUST TRY…read moreIT WAS! My husband and I's favorite place to eat in the world is New Orleans so this place definitely did not disappoint. We started with coffee drinks, I had some sort of boozy espresso drink which I could have done without since the bitters tasted like licorice which is probably a taste preference. My husband had the grandma coffee which was also fine. Then the food came out and it went up from here! The catfish & grits just might be the best I've ever had. My husband also really enjoyed his banana foster French toast, & i loved that they allowed you to get one piece of fried chicken because i had to try it out despite a full meal. The wing I had was Nice & crunchy with a delicious sweet sauce on the side that reminded me of mambo sauce ( a DC staple.) My husband also had the gumbo which was good but I wouldn't say our favorite. I prefer my gumbo with a little more spice but that could just be personal preference. We ended the meal with beignets: I had the ube beignet which was so unique & flavorful! I don't think I would have had a chance to try that type of beignet anywhere else so glad to try something different, it was delicious. The crawfish beignet was also so flavorful! The beignets in general were much more bready than typical beignets but still very good & unique to this place. On top of that, the service was great & the food came out quick, hot & fresh! I wish we had more time (& stomach space) to try other items on the menu, everywhere we looked everything looked delicious so we'll just have to try more the next time we're back in SF!

The place is a little cramped, but we were able to wait inside until the whole party was there to be seated. It was a good place for a group dinner. The cocktails are cheap for San Francisco, and the beer selection is decent. And the food is dense and delicious without being too heavy. I shared the catfish with crawfish etouffee (special), the gumbo, and a dungeness crab beignet with my boyfriend. We also ordered some banana cream pie for the table, which was a huge hit.
