The beet salad I ordered for lunch was delicious, but small, and it was expensive. The restaurant does not provide bread. My friend ordered the same salad with a side of French fries. Had it not been for the fries, the meal would not have been satisfying.

This was my fourth trip back to wild onion, and the quality of the experience is consistently terrific. Staff could not be nicer and more accommodating, food is yummy and interesting with choices that make even brunch more exciting. The Bloody Mary was divine. I’ve gone there for lunch meetings, because the noise level is low enough that you can hear each other comfortably, and while it’s an open layout, I never feel a lack of privacy. And the free valet parking, may they never discontinue that, makes it so easy to get in on time, and be stress-free. I like that the mood is casual enough that I don’t feel I need to get dressy, but stylish enough that I make an effort. If you go for brunch, definitely get the Nueske’s bacon, it’s the best America produces and it’s hard to get here in California. Bon appetit!

The food at wild onion is absolutely outstanding, and a very reasonable price for the quality and quantity you get. Met a couple girlfriends there for brunch, and we managed to try several different things on the menu; the chef was kind enough to cut things in the kitchen for us into sharing pieces, and our wait staff was very helpful and gracious. It was a little cool to sit outside by the pool, so they moved us into an inside table, and we really enjoyed our time there, not feeling rushed. Highly recommend checking it out!

The food quality was not good. The wings tasted bad, the cauliflower texture was questionable. The burger was good but that’s about it. The service was good but not enough to cover the food and cost.

This restaurant do not know how to serve food hot. The coffee was ordinary and only warm. The grilled bread was not even warm, put butter on it and it doesn’t even soften and spread. The sticky bun was excellent, but was not warm, not even when we asked to have it heated. The quiche was also tasty, but you guessed it, it was lukewarm. Only the tasty food save this from a one star restaurant for breakfast. Btw, 2 hours of valet park is free for eating at the restaurant
