    We went on a Monday night. Seems like something happened at the bar. It took almost 35 minutes to get our drinks. We were a party of 3. Dinner took over one hour and the waitress who was very apologetic told us they ran out of items on menu. Both dinner items and a dessert. Kinda disappointing. Pretty place but the people even next to us were not happy. Would not go out of our way to recommend this restaurant. Sorry.

    Hello Nancy I wanted to apologize for your negative experience here at the Wilbur. I would also like to speak with you further so at your earliest convenience please reach out to me at the Restautant. I am also a little confused, you said you were here on Monday night but we are closed on Monday's, so I am assuming you were here Sunday night? I try to address any service or food complaints right away with my staff, so I want to make sure I know who was working when you were here.

    In a time when "casual dining" is a thing, it was refreshing to spend an evening at The Wilbur with it's cozy, warm ambience, semi-formal atmosphere. Host and servers were polite and professional. My spouse and i arrived a bit early so we could enjoy the bar. We were not disappointed. Service was prompt, the cocktails were perfect and the setting was comfortable surrounded by antique wood panels and a. glorious stained glass window. The esgarcot appetizer was tasty and the Ahi tuna special was a great choice. My only gentle criticism is that the tuna could have been prepared tartare. Overall, a very nice dining experience. We will be back.

    Food was excellent and the drinks were even better! We went for dinner before a Phantoms game this past weekend with out-of-town friends that we're always trying to show new local restaurants. We were there early due to our schedule so the dining rooms were not very full, but the service was excellent, the drinks were on point and our dinner was delicious. The espresso martini and winter white cosmo were the winners! Loved the charcuterie board! The pork chop, crab cakes and the polenta were all so good. The sauces in particular. Sadly we did not have time for dessert. But we'll be back!

    Nice decor, good food, friendly staff. The main courses were good the eggplant appetizer was soso. It’s way too vinegary. Cocktails was great.
    The Wilbur MansionResponded 5 days ago
    Hello Sabrina, Thank you for dining with us and leaving your review. I am glad you enjoyed your cocktials and the staff here. I am sorry you did not enjoy the eggplant appetizer. I have let the chef know what you thought about it so he can check to make sure it is being prepared properly. We hope to see you back soon Michelle General Manager
