This is the watering hole for bon vivants with a vision.
The venue offers a cool, relaxing, intoxicating space where you can escape with friends and get lost in a moment. It is comprised of three rooms with distinct personality - A cocktail bar, turning out masterfully executed libations, a terrace, for sun-drenched revelry, and a scintillating great room, hosting near-nightly parties for a sophisticated collection of clientele.

The atmosphere at the WILDER is playful, but elevated, intoxicating, but familiar, tropical, enticing, and a place to, well, get WILD, that feels more like a secluded, storybook escape than a bar or lounge. Guests are at ease, and the staff is polished, friendly, and faultless.

    The service was slow. The show was good, the food selection is limited for it being a brunch and portion are VERY small. It was fun to have the experience but the food needs some improvement

    This was a very fun and happening place. Loud music with good subwoofer. Wonderfully decorated. Having a few young women dance around and take some clothes off was fun. (We went for Sunday brunch.) Our server was excellent. However, the food was not good at all. One dish was just raw zucchini and arugula with virtually no dressing added. The other was supposed to include bacon, but had nothing but a few crumbles - mostly just uninteresting potatoes. Drinks were decent.

    Poor Service, and for the very high price, the food quality is average at best.

    The decor ambience was very nice. I work for the bonus shell on Sunday, which was very nicely done and they said drinks and appetizers, and I would say the food was not my favorite. I would suggest it at something we need to do replace a full of people and everyone seems to be having a great time.
