    We were disappointed with our experience tonight and were surprised as we’d dined here before, several times. The menu changes from time to time, which we love. However, my husband is dairy free and there have always been options. Tonight, no accommodations were “possible” and the tofu meal was all off balance. Enough tofu to feed a family over a very small bed of noodles??? Prices have gone up and value for our meal isn’t there anymore. Service was great though.

    We had a great birthday dinner at Wildlight: the restaurant was busy at 7:15, when we came, but we got a nice patio table marked with Birthday card from Wildlight, enjoyed our food (delicious dishes and impressive presentation) and cocktails, and had a really cool Riverside Rock cake for dessert from Wildlight. Our server was amazing - she went above and beyond to make our celebration special. We keep coming back to Wildlight for our special dates - great atmosphere, amazing food, and excellent service ❤️👍

    Wonderful meal. Unique menu choices. Kudos to the chef. Our server was excellent. It was my birthday and the restaurant had a birthday card for me and a birthday dessert as well. Outstanding. We definitely will visit again.

    From the Interior of the restaurant, every dish that came out, and how it was served was nothing short of amazing!! One of my favourite places to eat in the lower mainland. Compliments all around!!! Will be back again & again.

    Superb experience, from offering to extend free parking, to the impeccable attention to respecting our table conversation and choosing appropriate times to check-in, to sending along some extra cookies as I indicated I was bringing some back to my team at the office. Very thoughtful. And the food was exceptional.

    This was my second time at Wildlight and it was just as good a visit as the first! The scallop risotto was lovely and I was pleasantly surprised by Mezcaliente cocktail. Everything tasted great and I look forward to coming again soon.
