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

    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.

    We are repeat guests at the restaurant and always find the service excellent but the food was very much lacking this time. We didn’t share this with the server as we didn’t want it to spoil our evening and the server was lovely. We did see a manger who was visiting only certain tables and we would have mentioned it her if she had come by to see how our dinner was. The burrata and beet salad didn’t seem as fresh as it could have been and both our main course chicken dishes were cold. We didn’t order dessert.

    Our party of 3 visited Wildlight during Happy Hour and it was indeed very happy: during time the items are all more accessibly priced but we were also gifted bubbly and a dessert to share on the house! The ambience in the winter garden area where we were sat was so beautifully muted and calm, very comfortable. The staff made us feel comfortable and cared for without too much attention. One staff member might have been in training as we had to ask for share plates and they almost knocked over a wine glass in rearranging the food on the table, but other than that, it was such a wonderful dining and social experience. Food: mussels 8.5/10, sunchokes 9/10, oyster mushrooms 8.5/10. Dessert 13/10. Thank you Wildlight, definitely coming back with others!

    We always love Wildlight. It’s a perfect business meeting or birthday spot! They do a great job of accommodating celiacs. We truly appreciated our server, Cas – she is such a pro – as well as Margo and Lex, who came by to say Hi. Thanks for another lovely dinner!

    The restaurant is very expensive for what it serves. Fries are awesome. Rest okay. Our server was very good and engaged us in talk. No plans to return as can get nice meals at better prices closer to where we live—downtown.
