    Calabrian hot chicken
    Alice L.

    Had such a nice dinner here- service was excellent! The ambiance was fantastic and the food was impeccable! We had hamachi bites which was small but tasty and beautifully presented! The beet salad was so fresh and delish. Calamari was perfectly fried light and crispy. I did not have the honey rolls but everyone was raving about it as the best app. I had the Calabrian hot chicken which was deep fried- tasty and spicy and generous portion- everyone liked all the dishes - I had the chocolate mousse dessert which was really really delicious !

    We went for Sunday brunch without a reservation. They didn't have any tables available but offered us seating at the bar or bench. We chose the bench, which was comfortable enough for one or two people. The service was excellent. Our waitress was patient and attentive. We ordered the Eggs Benedict and the Grilled Salmon Salad, and my friend had the Kombucha for drink. Both entrées were delicious; the salad was fresh, and the salmon was perfectly cooked. My friend liked her drink too. For dessert, we shared the pistachio and cherry tart and ordered Jade tea (one pot was enough for both of us). The tart was fantastic, with a pistachio custard base that was especially good. Overall, we were happy with our choices and the restaurant experience. Highly recommended!

    Really nice happy hour. Interior and ambience js spectacular. Service is great too. Tried the spicy pizza which was very flavorful. Ricotta toast was also good. Did not like the arancini at all due to a smokey taste.

    What an amazing dining experience. The menu is curated with purpose and meaning. Each dish is expertly crafted and thought out. Wine list isn't random but matched to the menu. Ben was our server and he was so passionate and knowledgeable about both food and wine options. He elevated our dining experience to a whole different level. Five out of five stars!

    Roasted Oysters

    Fabulous service with spot-on drink recommendations. Still thinking about the roasted oysters!

    Not sure if Monday night is the ideal time to try this spot out.. Food was bland and overall experience can be described as such outside of the sorbet and the service. Too many amazing places in the city to settle for decent to ok. Cool space and perhaps prime time when the A team is in the kitchen will render a different outcome/experience.

    I'll be dreaming about this meal for YEARS. Nothing makes me happier than cacio e pepe and here it's done right. Silky, creamy and cheesy perfection. Perfectly al dente noodles. I finished every last drop. I also paired this with a side of buttery broccolini which made for the perfect bite. Don't sleep on the bread and butter - it's an upcharge, but oh so worth it. The rolls were pillowy and buttery and the garlic butter was melt in your mouth. Everything on the menu sounded so decadent that it was really hard to choose. My friend ordered the chicken cutlet and it was literally the size of three plates. Cocktails were delicious, the decor was gorgeous and the service was on point. This is a really amazing pick for a swanky dinner out in Center City.

    The food is delicious. I came before and had the madaldine pasta with the crab meat and it was good. I was happy to find out that I could add a protein with my cacio e pepper pasta because, by itself, it's not filling. The shrimp was delicious. I love their variety of NA drinks. The service was great! Shout out to the wait staff I've had at each visit. The place is so beautiful. I have not seen the upstairs yet, but the bar seats are way too cute and the dining area is immaculate.

    Great Happy Hour

    I did a random pop in because of the name Wilder duuuh! It was calling me while on Sansom street. I listened and decided to grab a happy hour cocktail before dinner & I'm so happy that I did. The bar area was right up my cheetah gurl ally. The bartenders were friendly and fast with execution. Although I only spent about 45 mins there, I could easily get lost in the libations and atmosphere next time. Cheers!

    Service was superb. Water was never low. Ambiance was beautiful. First floor was amazing. Outdoor seating was even decorated with flowers. I came here for the Beef Carpaccio and it did not disappoint. Perfectly cut. Would have not overlapped as much for easier handling. The steak in the hanger steak salad was cooked perfectly. A little kick of spiciness to it. I was not a fan of the Lamb Bacon Pizza because the lamb tasted gamey to me and the cheese they used I did not enjoy. My friends seem to like it though. The Malfadine Alla Vodka - the pasta used was so unique. It really immersed the sauce in all its twirls. They did not skimp on the crab meat. I wish there was more than one unisex bathroom on the first floor. Would come back to try the dinner menu and if they add squid ink pasta to the menu. I mentioned in the reservation that we were celebrating two birthdays, but I guess since we did not order a dessert, nothing was mentioned by the staff. Cocktails were very good.

    I'll have to say, I was unfortunately underwhelmed with my dinner at Wilder. I thought the pasta was pretty good (flavorful, well cooked), but I asked for a substituted protein (which I appreciated) but the chicken I got was dry. I also did not care for the drink I ordered (kimono racer). Maybe because we came with a large group on Valentine's Day, they weren't at there best? I don't know but it really missed the mark. I will say I would 1000% come back for the pull apart rolls alone.

    Bucatini Cacio E Pepe
    Shealyn M.

    YUM!!! I was excited to try this place and it did not disappoint. Came for a friends birthday and the food we delicious. We all tried different pasta dishes and we were all big fans. I got the cacio e pepe and so good!! Our server was fantastic as well. Great experience.

    Ask the Community - Wilder

    Do you have additional vegan options not on the menu?

    Hi! We do!

    Is there parking?

    Nope. It's in the HEART of the city so I'd recommend Uber/Lyft

    Is there a gluten free menu?

    Hi Irene, We offer gluten free pasta! Most of our appetizers and entrees are either already or can be made gluten free as well!

    How many steps to enter the restaurant and how steep are they?

    Hi Debbie, We have a sidewalk level entrance! No need to go upstairs. When making a reservation, please note you would like to sit on the first floor.

    Happy hour days and times?

    Monday - Friday, 4:30-6!

    Does Wilder have happy hour?

    Very soon! Late June it’s coming!

    I think the last time I was at this corner munching on something it was a different place. But, on…read morethe multi-festival Saturday, second of May in the year 2026, I can definitively say that I've now tried the little seafood spot on one of our favorite corners, that we're almost always just passing by to get to Time. First, the friendly, informative service: in an oyster bar with a rotating fresh selection, that's an underrated must. We were seated outside, given a rundown of the menu and "as it's ready" flow of the kitchen. We got a pair of cocktails, the Melonata and a Tequila Julep. I think the Melonata might be my new summer favorite. It looks like Ecto Cooler but doesn't give a distinct feeling of growing diabetes while drinking it. In grown up terms, it was well balanced, not too sour, not too sweet, and deeply herbal, fruity, and refreshing at the same time. The Tequila Julep was a Mint Julep with tequila instead of bourbon. It was good, though it's hard to mess that set of ingredients up. We got a selection of oysters and a shooter. Every oyster was distinct and different. Felt like there were no "different on the menu but same in flavor profile" that you can sometimes run into. This implies it's well curated. I have no idea, because I'm not an expert fishmonger, nor do I know whether that term specifically applies here - case in point. Anyway, I got 2 from Washington State, and another from Cape May. The first WA was large, buttery, and had the satisfying chew of young coconut flesh. Semi sweet. The second was smaller, sharper, and briny as hell - tasted of the ocean. And finally, the Cape May was mild and fresh, a good balance between the two others. It was a perfect little tasting menu that I'd created by just ordering the first three guys off the list. Not sure what selection came with the shooter, but the concoction in the shot glass shooter was bright green and pickly. Glad I got it as a contrast to the classics with what I assumed was red wine vinegar. Besides that, we snacked on salmon avocado toast with the Calabrian Chili Oil. It was also very, very good. Sometimes things are better than the sum of their parts. This is true here, but it's also worth noting that the individual parts - the bread, the smoked salmon, the chili oil, the avocado, the shaved onions - were excellent in their own right. We will be back for sure.

    Definitely can do better and dropped from my 5 star last few visits to this experience. Happy hour…read moreand we managed to snag the last two seats at the bar just at 4. Placed an order for drinks, oysters and the rest of happy hour menu and choice selection of regular menu. I assumed things would come out staggered. Usually cocktails and raw bar would come first. But no. Raw bar came after sandwiches and wings so that threw off the ambiance. I still hadn't received my drink as more food was being delivered around me; and while I was watching one bar staff crouching under the bar on their phone, after a while I was like...do you know if my drink is on the way? It was her. She forgot. Literally It's first seating at the bar. Anyways wings were fine. oysters and clams great. Shrimp toastie & fish Sandwich fine. But when it came to the Al Pastor Octopus that I generally love here, this one was both chewy and slimy. Like the whole sleeve of the octopus had a slime layer- , was it the tentacles part? I had to keep spitting out. Not a nice chargrilled taste but each slice chewy with slime layer. Bleh. So disappointed. Threw the $20 into the trash. Didn't even get an "oh no" from the staff. Like why did we not want it when asked and I made the face. each bite was slime We settled up and immediately went next door to eat at double knot and that, per usual, WAS 5 star amazing.

There is always a good background noise as the restaurant is typically busy. But not too loud so your party can still have a great conversation. Enjoyed the lunch today especially the fish and chips. The clam chowder is a must. And they have the best fries.

    This place is FIRE!!!…read more Best oysters I ever had, and they came with a lot of oyster liquor (natural juice that oysters produce, a mix of seawater from their habitat and their own internal fluids such as hemolymph (the invertebrate equivalent of blood) and cellular fluids). The oyster liquor makes it so the oyster remains fresh btw as well which is obviously uber important. We had oysters from Maine, Rhode Island, and Connecticut and all of the ones we chose you could taste the unique differences from one to the next. Crab cakes were on point; the vegetables were next level with the side of asparagus coming with roe on top of it. New England soup was actually light and not heavy like most creamy NE soups which I appreciated as it made me have room for the rest of the meal. We also indulged in some Butterscotch Pudding which in my view had three distinct flavors. The very top tasted similar to sweet creme Brule, the actual pudding was creamy and delish and there was a garnish of whipped cream I believe on top. All items surpassed my expectations and we will definitely be repeat customers. Highly Recommend. As always people SYOY!!!!

When talking to my kids about experiences vs objects for Christmas, my 7 year old requested a fancy restaurant for steak and lobster, just the two of us, and this was the perfect pick. Every one was so kind to him and made him feel special, I think every male staff member stopped at the table with a kind word for him and, upon hearing that he wants to be a chef someday, to say they can't wait to eat at his restaurant. I got the berries and bubbles cocktail for the dry ice spectacle, but it was also really delicious. The bread basket was really great, and our steak was seasoned and cooked perfectly, but the real star was the sides and sauces. The asparagus with hollandaise was the winner for me, the hollendaise was silky and had a little kick at the end. The truffle mac and cheese was the other top pick, really amazing. Creme brulee was the perfect shared ending to the meal, it comes with a lot of berries on top, not the usual single strawberry, and the freshness was really needed with the rich creme. Overall I think I made a formative memory with my child and I'm grateful for the service, and the food was absolutely worth what we probably would have paid for two overpriced hot wheel toys.
