    Eventhough the menu is relatively the same as the previous times we have visited Wildlight, the overall taste and quality of food has definitely changed. We have dined here several times even came to the opening and the food was always delicious and well done. The last time we ate there after Christmas, none of the dishes were done properly. The scallop risotto, the scallops were definitely smaller than Hokkaidos and very tough and the risotto underdone. The duck was tasteless even with its sauce. The beet salad hardly had any dressing and just bland. on a positive note, our server was pleasant and attentive. We did not complain and in fact left a generous tip.

    The restaurant was cold. Food was average. Nothing special for a Michelin recommended restaurant! Service was slow but adequate.

    Been back twice the last month. First time sat out in the heated patio for dinner. Second time after a VSO Vivaldi concert at the Chan Centre for Happy Hour. You get 10% off with the ticket. Both times experience and food has been very positive. Free parking underground very convenient. Will be going back again for sure.

    We were seated in a tiny table next to a thin wall that looked into the grocery store. Could not move our elbows on one side because of how tight the table was to the wall. Food was good but ambience was terrible.
