From the moment we entered Wilma’s it was wonderful- attentive service, great drinks and very tasty dishes - my favourite being the kingfish sashimi and sticky sweet eggplant! Thanks for a great afternoon- especially to Sophia and David

We had a family dinner for 10 on Xmas eve. Food was fantastic, had a lot of share plates which were easy and plentiful. Service and atmosphere was good, we did not get rushed out and stayed until late. Would definitely come back again.
