              Food was outstanding! We did the NYE 5-course prix fixe dinner with wine pairings. Service was super friendly, though we were delayed in being seated for our 9 pm reservation and the time between each course exceeded what I would consider appropriate. That said, it was NYE and the restaurant comped us some champagne for our waits and the friendliness of the staff and quality of the food /wines left us very satisfied by the end of the meal. Recommend Wild South highly!

              The food and service is outstanding. The location was very hard to find had no sign. We had to walk a couple blocks to figure out where we were going.

              Impeccable service, wine pairings and food. Hands down one of the best places to eat in NOLA. This was our third time here and first time since they switched from exclusively offering the 5 course tasting menu. I really enjoyed the tasting menu both prior times, but having freedom to choose particular dishes based on our food preferences made for an even better experience. The 5 course with wine pairings is still option, but we wanted to try some of the items that weren't included in tasting. We had several seafood dishes- oysters and tuna to start, drum and crab toast as mains. The use of local seasonal produce here is brilliant- lots of citrus and herbs included in seafood dishes, a delicious green salad and grilled carrots. Creative pairings by the sommelier, Ryan, really makes the meals here exceptional. He offers unique wines from all over the world and knows his stuff. The flavors were incredible on their own, but paired perfectly with food. Fab was our server and took great care of us (again:). She made me feel really special for my birthday. This place is simply outstanding, and every visit unique. I'm already looking forward to our next meal here.

              Wild South does not disappoint. The food is always delicious. They accommodate our non-dairy requirements while keeping the food creative and amazing. I get the wine pairing every time I go, which just ties everything together so nicely. The staff is impressively knowledgeable and friendly, the ambience is great and kudos to whoever is choosing the music!
