Wild is by far the best restaurant in the area! The food and drinks (for both brunch and dinner) are delicious and offer great variety! The manager Nick is extremely attentive. He’s always making sure everyone is having a wonderful experience. The staff also go out of their way to take care of everyone, especially when we’re here with our toddler. Wild has a unique combination of being a solid date night spot and family friendly brunch location! I can’t recommend the restaurant enough!
