Ordered the mango pomelo with sago pearls. It definitely tasted watered down and the mango was very fibrous. The person taking my order was a bit rude but the person who served my order was fine.

Every time I visit, the decor never ceases to impress. It's classy but unpretentious and you can tell folks are there to have a good time. We arrived at about 8:30pm on a Saturday and it was packed. Luckily, we were able to snag seats at a bar before a table opened up around 9pm. A note that they don't take reservations (but I kind of wish they did!), so this isn't the place to go if you're in a rush. They had a special seasonal menu going for the holiday, and we started with the reuben hush puppies. While they were more like croquettes, they were extra crispy, cheesy, and juicy with the most delicious thousand island dressing. I wish they would offer this year round! For mains, we ordered the corned beef and buddha bowl. I really liked the horseradish aioli that came with the beef- while the meat could've been more tender, it had a great flavor overall. The cabbage actually tasted pickled and the carrots sweet; non-traditional, but tasty! The buddha bowl had a very wide range of veggies and perfectly cooked rice. I could drink that spicy peanut sauce. I appreciated how large the portions were, which definitely softened the price as we left with plenty of leftovers. All in all, we had a great experience- if you haven't checked Wilde out, I highly recommend doing so!

It was pretty loud but service was friendly and food came quickly. I started with a bloody mary garnished with cheese and pepperoncini. It was delicious and well mixed! I was surprised to see that it came with a "little buddy" beer sidecar! My friend liked her mimosa and loved the heart shaped strawberry garnish. Our food was really great, everything tasted fresh and I was amazed by the perfectly circular poached eggs. Well house-made hollandaise and the smoked salmon was good. Recommend the cheesy grits! My friend's potato's were very good with caramelized onions and they liked the eggs but could've used more peppers or herbs. They were impressed with their sausage. We left super satisfied and the conversation makes itself in this interesting building.

Unique, creamy and full of flavor. Will definitely be back!

(Kari's Rating 8/10)…read more Came in on a Friday night about 8 o'clock, and I didn't realize there was a basketball game tonight, so the bar was really packed with IU fans. I heard off this place from an Instagram video from a food blogger. There wasn't initially seating when we first got in, but the bartender/hostess helped us make a makeshift table. We also didn't have a chair so she had to go find a chair and she found one so really appreciate her hustle. The wings came out pretty quickly, the honey barbecue wings were really sweet, and came with a substantial amount of sauce. The ranch was impeccable. It was not too thin and came with celery. The birds nest hot sauce was relatively hot for a medium. I was definitely feeling the spice after two or three. I think there was a little too much sauce on the wings for me, personally, but overall very good. The volume is really loud because everyone was there for the game, so we kinda had to yell over each other to have a conversation. We got our check pretty quickly and the servers were really attentive. I would definitely come back if I was in the area, but I probably wouldn't come all the way from River North for this again.

Waitress forced us out of our table. We were eating wings during a weekday football game. We told the waitress we were planning on leaving at halftime of the game. We got our check with 3 min left in the half so we could leave immediately after the first half ended. Instead of letting us stay for 2 extra minutes, she forced us out of our table and told us we could watch the rest of the game standing up at the bar. Not the way to treat paying repeat customers.
