Never disappoints. Took four friends from out of town. We all tried different foods. But the radish cake has always the best thing on the menu.

Curio was overall a wonderful experience. The food was great, we had the King Oyster Mushroom plate and the Burger plate. They were both incredibly delicious. Smoked potato wedges, yum! The staff was a delight from table to bar and all the way to The Chapel. Thank you for a wonderful night!

Went to Wilder SF for Christmas dinner. My wife had the prime rib special and I had the pork chop dinner. Both were amazing. The pork chop had a wonderful sweet and salty flavor—no complaints on anything! We did the roast cauliflower for an app and they were super thoughtful of my allergies and skipped the flash fry since calamari goes in it (seafood allergy) and let us know it would take just a touch longer. Appreciated the safety and communication. We finished with affogato for dessert which is served in a waffle cone. A little twist on a classic. I wouldn’t normally like a waffle cone with it but it made it perfect to split with my spouse who really enjoys that part. Great place. Can’t wait to go back.

Really nice experience. Great food and super attentive service. We're on the covered patio, so a little less buzzy than the dining room, so easy to catch up with friends. Highly recommended.
