Everything, and I don't use that word lightly, everything regarding Wilder is absolutely delectable. It is forever a Rittenhouse favorite of mine for any occasion, at any given meal. Their signature pull apart rolls in the dinner menu are reason enough to go out. The raw bar, available for brunch, lunch, and dinner remains one of the freshest I have had the honor of having in all of Philadelphia. A bonus is that if you appreciate the fine art of a seasonal menu with ever clever rotational drink names, what more do you need to consider in deciding to choose Wilder for your next meal? The portions & prices exist where your stomach and wallet are simultaneously taken care of, something I cannot confidently say about many other places. The fabulousness of dining at Wilder is made possible through their staff being guided by dedicated leadership being some of the most considerate and meticulous people that are culturally and dietarily aware of all the nuances their guests come in with. My dietary need is Zabiha Certified Halal, and even though they do not offer Halal beef or chicken, the staff has always taken this detail into careful consideration to not have any part of my predominantly seafood and vegetarian meal remotely be anywhere near the possibility of cross contamination. For this, I thank you Wilder for making me feel seen and heard. The luscious teal booths, the intricately patterned rugs adorning the walls, the ambient chandeliers, and their coolest cheetah mascot all provide a romantic yet comforting, elegantly elevated yet still down to earth vibe. It's one of the best places around to share a wonderfully thoughtful meal with anyone you hold near and dear and I am already looking forward to planning my next visit! read more

Service: I was happy to get a chance to try Wilder for the first time via delivery. The food arrived fast and well-secured in its packaging. Food: The Donnie Brassica specialty pizza is a must-try. This is their vegetarian pizza that comes with broccolini, pesto, cherry peppers, and provolone. The cherry peppers gave the pizza a little spicy kick to it. I liked the pizza overall - one slice is very filling and the doughy crust is amazing. I also tried their grilled/charred oysters too. This restaurant gives you a great portion size and they care a lot about the presentation of food even if it's delivered. Recommendation: Overall, I would highly recommend this restaurant! read more

Wilder was WILD-LY great. First time here on a Friday evening before the holiday weekend and it was packed. So, be sure to snag your reservation days in advance like us organized folk did. We were seated within 10 minutes of arriving as, again, super busy. What we snagged: -A LOT and we ordered too much. But each dish was amazing. -Spicy Pizza (WOW) -Steak Tartare -Pull Apart Rolls -Squid Ink Pasta -Tuna Crudo -Rigatoni Ragu -Mafaldine Alla Vodka -Foie Gras Again, got a LOT of food. Service was amazing and detail oriented. Was very impressed with the vibe too. Perfect for an evening out in the city. Never felt rushed by any means. Highly recommend if you can get a reservation! read more

I had brunch at Wilder with a friend this past Saturday, and we had a great time. We shared: the scallop crudo (ajo blanco, marcona almonds, grapes, and cucumber), which we loved (that ajo blanco and grapes!?); the Grilled Salmon Salad (with everything furikake, cucumber, avocado, red onion, capers, eggs, and goat cheese dressing), which was good but the salmon was definitely a little overcooked/dry for me; and mafaldine alla vodka (Chesapeake jumbo lump crab, breadcrumbs, and basil), which was delicious (but when you put breadcrumbs on the menu, give me all the breadcrumbs - these were sparse, I almost forgot they were there). We had a glass of wine each, which were good (they also offer cocktails, beer, coffee, tea, and plenty of interesting non-alcoholic drinks). The service was great - very friendly. The restaurant itself is beautiful - and really large (two floors). Overall, it wasn't a meal that I'll dream about and wake up drooling, but it was good, and I enjoyed our brunch here! Definitely wouldn't mind returning! read more

The wilder is located in the heart of Rittenhouse. It is the perfect place to catch with old friends or go out for a date night. The wilder has a wide range of menu options from seafood, to pasta, and to pizza. They also offer gluten free pasta options as well. I ordered their Cacio e Pepe and it was everything that I wanted and more. The gluten free pasta was cook perfectly and the pecorino cheese was incredible. Not only does the wilder offer a dinner menu but they also have a brunch and lunch menu. They also have a full service bar as well. If you are looking to try a new spot in the city then the Wilder is the place for you. read more

This restaurant was super busy and after eating here, it is obvious why. The food was awesome. We are still thinking about the crispy hash brown with the cacio e pepe sauce. Such a creative idea. We came during brunch time and got the mafaldine alla vodka. I was a little hesitant about crab meat in my vodka sauce but wow it worked and was so delicious. Would definitely like to come back here. read more

Table for 12 people was easily taken care of and we were able to get a reservation about 4 hours before. We had the sweet and spicy pizza, the Donnie pizza, foie gras, charred octopus, soft shell crab sandwich (special), crab pasta and their strawberry mocktail. All the wood roasted pizzas were really great. Arrived with a good crunchy outer crust and just thin enough to enjoy all the ingredients. My favorite was the Donnie pie. Mocktail was fruity and refreshing. Soft shell crab sandwich was a good size, filling and came in piping hot and juicy. The pasta could've been richer in taste but not complaining. We had Iris as our server and she was the absolute best. They knew we were celebrating 2 graduates and they served us with their warm donut bonbons at the end of dinner without us having to remind them. Such a nice surprise for everybody! Interior is beautiful and eclectic, with a touch of whimsy. Restrooms were clean, big for a parent and kids if needed, and paper towels provided were thick and high quality of those things matter to you :P Street parking around Rittenhouse Sq and there is also a parking garage nearby. read more

I've been to Wilder twice and I've ordered takeout twice, and let me tell you, it's always the right decision. I'm not usually a pasta gal but the Mafaldine alla vodka from Wilder literally had me craving pasta for WEEKS! And honestly no other pasta could satisfy my craving like the malfaldine or bacatini from Wilders (other than Murphs, IYKYK ). Each time I've sat inside I've always had a reservation so I can't speak to how long the wait time is, but the staff is always friendly and helpful (running your takeout out the door because you forgot). The selection of drinks is nice but as someone that doesn't drink often, it was really thoughtful that they offered non alcoholic cocktails. The interior is gorgeous and a great place for an intimate dinner for 2 or a fun night out for a group. read more

Had a lovely lunch yesterday with girlfriends before the Anna Crusis Feminist Choir concert (which was wonderful!). We were seated upstairs in a comfy couch on one side type of seating, chairs on the other side, tucked in the back near the restrooms which was a really great location. We did not have difficulty hearing each other talk despite the restaurant being quite full. Between us we had the following items: Wilder Cheeseburger - 5/5, I split it with a friend who would probably rate it a 4/5 because she realized she does not like Maitake mushrooms and the cherry peppers were more heat than she prefers. I really like mushrooms of any type and liked the fire of the peppers. We ordered it medium and it came out medium rare. Fries on the side of the cheeseburger - 5/5, outstanding fries, crispy and thinner cut Falafel salad - 3/5, I split with a friend. Falafels get a 3, the rest of the salad a 5. The falafels were crispy and a good texture but had very little taste and were very dry. Without any hummus or tahini to go with them, even the dressed salad could not compensate for their dry nature. Mushroom melt - 4/5, I did not try this but my friends did and thought it was good. Good enough that one took her leftovers home, but the other did not. Grilled salmon salad - 5/5, I wanted to order this and will the next time, my friend said it was excellent. There was half an avocado and good sized piece of salmon on the salad. All said, I'd return because the ambiance was nice, there are other items on the menu I'd like to try and service was very good. read more

Wilder is an adorable trendy new restaurant with decor for days. The menu has upscale Italian favorites with some American options as well. I believe their pastas are house made and the squid ink pasta is wonderful! Additionally they have a great happy hour with white bean hummus (comes with pizza bianca to dip) and truffle arancini. Happy hour is only served at the bar and the associated bar tables behind it. The bartender (Alexander) was the best server I've had anywhere in the past year, always keeping our glasses and plates full! Will be back simply for service from him! read more

I'm not exaggerating when I say, I close my eyes and remember the pasta here and think to myself "How can I get back there?" The Mafaldine Alla Vodka was so, so good. The crab so abundant, the pasta so tender and perfectly flavored. Anyway, I'm getting ahead of myself. My husband and I chose Wilder for our anniversary dinner. Reservations were easy to make online, and miraculously we found free parking on Sansom Street, a block down from the restaurant. Despite running slightly behind, our reservation was held and we were escorted to our seats - a velvety couch beside other diners, with a single candle lit on the table. I was really liking the atmosphere from the start. The leopard print pillows on the couch were my kind of style. One thing I noticed, it did take a bit for someone to come fill our glasses and greet us at the table, but once our waiter - Charlie - arrived, he was very pleasant. I can tell this is a new-ish establishment, because it does feel like the staff are working on a rhythm to their service, but it appears to be getting there. Our glasses were kept full and we were checked on pretty often. Our waiter in particular seemed to be doing his best with multiple tables. For his part, he seemed to be keeping up. This place was bustling! The drinks really were great. I think my husband could have had several more of the Bright Antennas if he didn't stop himself. The food, likewise, was just perfection. I am not an oyster eater at all, and I quite enjoyed the roasted oysters with bread crumbs. The crab pasta, though, will live on in my heart until I get back here. It took a while to be made, but that plate was steaming and did not disappoint. I devoured it. The dessert finale was really a sweet treat to cap off a lovely evening. I think the waiter did a good job describing it to us, and we were happy to try a different spin on a chocolate cake. If I had my way, I'd eat that pasta every chance I can get. read more

Came here with 2 friends for happy hr randomly, and was pleasantly surprised. We had a few plates off the appetiser menu and everything was delicious. Service was good with no long waits and staff was polite. It's good for a date or even casual because you can easily dress up or down. I'll definitely be back for dinner! read more

Incredible food, service, and atmosphere. We split the paccheri ragu and the sweet & spicy pepperoni pizza (both were delicious). This was some of the best pizza I've had in Philly. It tasted similar to hot honey with the sweet and savory flavors. Highly recommend! The ragu pasta dish was also incredible! The meat that came with it was so tender and flavorful. It melts in your mouth and actually came with a good amount of meat compared to most ragu dishes! Our waiter was very attentive and provided great recommendations on the menu. I was also impressed that he split our shared food evenly in a to-go box, so my friend and I didn't have to decide who would keep the leftovers. It was very thoughtful! It's a beautiful hip and trendy restaurant and attracts a nice sheek and chic crowd. We absolutely loved this place -- decor, staff, drinks, and food. 10/10. Would come back in a heartbeat. It's ideal for family outings, gatherings with friends, or intimate romantic evenings. Thank you, Wilder, for an unforgettable dining experience! read more

coming back here with an update from my previous review to share that my mom and I both got food poisoning from this restaurant (we believe from the raw shaved brussels sprouts on the pizza). don't want to put the blame entirely on the restaurant as this is likely because of wherever the brussel sprouts came from but in the future maybe specifying that the brussel sprouts on the pizza are raw would be nice as I likely wouldn't have ordered it if I knew that read more

I have walked by the big Wilder sign many times and wanted to stop by. I don't know why it took me so long to open their front door. But once I did, I was upset it took me so long. I've been there for lunch twice. The space is gorgeous inside, with very comfortable bar seats. On my first visit I had the MAFALDINE ALLA VODKA. It's a crab pasta that was outstanding. On my second visit I had the sweet & spicy pizza. I was expecting to take pizza home, but it was so good I devoured the entire pizza. I broke my own lunch rules and tried one of the alcoholic beverages, and it was a well-balanced vodka & cranberry cocktail. Wilder is going to be a regular part of my lunch rotation. read more

Wilder is definitely a vibe! Overall, the food was tasty. The Tuna Crudo was my favorite bite of the evening. I would have that again anytime! We had the Lambapalooza pizza which was also yummy. The crust was great and the flavors of the toppings were unique and exciting. That said, while the octopus was perfectly tender and the portion was generous (for octopus), it was rather one note and kind of bland. I would definitely skip the baked oysters - they were all breadcrumbs and no other flavors came through. The drinks were just okay. My Sledgehammer was way too sweet for my taste and my friend's Echos with the Sound was fine but not memorable. The restaurant itself is gorgeous and the colors are amazing. Like lots of spots these days, they really pack in the tables and as a result it's loud af. The service was amazing, however. read more

I loved everything about Wilder! can't say enough about this place. The decor (retro/vintage vibe) is so inviting. The service is exceptional and the food is delicious! They have the best pizza, because everything is made from scratch and baked in the real oven. Can't go wrong with any choices. My favorite pasta here, the MAFALDINE ALLA VODKA (crab meat pasta), Uni pasta, and braised duck pasta. Each dishes were delightful. For desserts, a must try! the buttermilk panna cotta, it was the best thing I ever ate. They make it based on the season. For the summer, it was watermelon shaved ice topped on cold honeydew and cantaloupe. It was so refreshing. Likewise for Fall season, cinnamon shaved ice topped on cold apple. Bomboloni was also yum. Fluffy dough and great with the cream cheese and chocolate dipping sauces. Overall, everything we had here is amazing! We keep returning for more delicious food and desserts. One of the best restaurant in Philadelphia. A must visit! read more

Vibes: bustling, modern, relaxed, a touch quirky; bring a friend or two Tasting notes: - Chesapeake roasted oysters: wonderfully savory and crunchy crust; appreciated the large size of each oyster - Margherita: crackly, fire-licked crust that gives way each bite to a flavorful, elastic chew; nice even distribution of sauce and mozz - Mafadine allá vodka: perfectly al dente pasta picks up the creamy, umami rich sauce beautifully; loved the sweet, flaky chunks of crab - Yuzu cheesecake: light and fluffy filling atop a buttery crust; a little jelly, a little jam, a little crunch, a little cream scattered across the plate for a unique bite with each swipe - Whiplash: buttery mouthfeel; almost felt savory at the beginning of each sip, probably due to interesting interplay between mango flavor and brown butter Other thoughts: - Good pace between dishes - Shareable portions - Fairly attentive service; appreciated plate change between app and main and quick clearance of finished dishes Impression: a new favorite in Philly, will be dreaming about this dinner for a long time! read more

I wanted to give this 5 stars because the pizza was phenomenal, the pasta dishes were unique and we even were offered a free order of fried calamari by our server!

Had a lovely dinner at Wilder! We booked the day of and 6:15pm was the only available time so I definitely recommend a reservation. It's quite easy to find the restaurant as they have a huge lit WILDER on the outside. You can enter the bar up a few steps on the left or enter the hostess area to the right. The Pull Apart Rolls were delicious. Soft and fluffy, topped with salt, a bit oily but so good. I ordered the Bucatini and it was amazing. I was a bit disappointed the shrimp and calamari were chopped up and not in their full form because they were somewhat hard to taste but the dish as a whole was great. The rest of my party ordered the Steak and Sweet & Salty Pizza and they seemed to enjoy them. Loved the funky unique decor. Friendly staff. Looking forward to returning! read more

Probably my favorite dining experience on this recent trip to Philly. Let me be clear, this is not an Italian restaurant, at least not in the traditional sense. I'd call it 'eclectic' but what I really think it is is basically a very talented chef who put all his favorite foods on a menu (regardless of genre). Bunch of oysters. Bunch of pizzas and pastas. And to render eclectic the menu includes chicken, fish, steak and burger options for those who need... options. Works for me! The execution is perfect. They have parker house-style rolls that are not free and don't come with the meal, but I'd pay every penny and only regret I didn't order a second batch! Had the pizza with the hot honey (and I'm not a big hot honey guy at all) but the pizza was served hot hotter than the sun and was exquisite. My daughter had a hangar steak which was divine. If/when I return to Philly this would be at the top of my list. read more

Came back to Wilder for brunch with my family and my boyfriends family and really enjoyed our experience! I had the fried chicken sandwich and the mushroom pizza. Both dishes were great! Brunch was very tasty and everyone enjoyed their dishes. The servers were extremely accommodating and even gave us two complimentary dishes! The donut dessert was so lovely. Great brunch spot and the drinks were very good! Ambiance was so beautiful in the main dining room on the first floor. read more

What could be more "Wild" than a place with cheetah prints, velvet plush seating and gorgeous chandeliers, this place screams super chic and sexy. I started with a drink called Space Is The Place (watermelon & lime). It's served in a martini glass but without the alcohol. My friend had One Last Question and we made a joke about the name. We started the night with six Naked Cowboys, I'm talking about the raw oysters. We were told this one is the most briny and it is what I prefer. Slurp up that oceanic salty juice and lick your lips. Next we shared the Summer Fever wood-fired pizza. The toppings were fresh and I loved the sliced zucchini and squash blossoms. The crust is thin and reminded me of a naan, so good. I also highly recommend the Shrimp and Polenta. It was extremely flavorful and seasoned well. Consistency of the polenta was perfect and the shrimp were huge and plump. One star is taken away for their side order of bacon strips. They were overly crispy and crumbled into bits. We also didn't care for the cinnamon rolls. It was too hard but I did like the cream on top. Nicollete, our server was attentive and lovely. I like the hostess too, she thought my new Cowboy boots were cute. read more

Came here for a girls night and had such a great experience! The inside space is so cute and well decorated, I'm a fan. It was cozy and spacious at the same time. The hostess was very welcoming and sat us upstairs. I got a mocktail which was delicious along with the rolls and Shishito peppers to start. The rolls might seem overpriced or simple but don't be fooled they are worth it and delicious! The peppers were slightly spicy but I liked it especially with the delectable corn that came with it I got the crab pasta and CHEFS KISS. The pasta was cooked perfectly, the crab quantity was perfect and the flavor of the sauce was to die for. The only thing I regret is not trying their pizza or dessert but just another reason for me to come back read more

What a charming and trendy spot for a meal! I came with a small group and we tried several dishes. The TUNA TARTARE was decent but can be skipped.

You can't go wrong with a classic MARGHARITA PIZZA, and their pastas were delightful as well. ENJOY! read more

Not baby friendly. Hostesses refused to sit us with a baby in a stroller at lunch on Jan 7, 2026. Place was fairly empty maybe 15-20% capacity but she stated she could not accommodate for the stroller and unless we can wake up the baby to put him in a high chair she would not seat us. read more

This place is fantastic! Perfect for a date if you can get a table upstairs. Half of downstairs sitting area is a "bar area" with small tables. They had sat us there first to dine after we've made a reservation. The table was too small to dine... I was confused why they would sit people there for food but was moved upstairs after we asked to switch spots. We came on a Friday night and it was busy, so the service was a bit slow. However the food was amazing! We got: - Baked oyster appetizer (comes with 5 pieces) 5/5 - Spanish octopus with eggplant purée and pine nut pesto 5/5 - Squid ink pasta with seafood 4/5 - Raw oysters (partner ate it I can't eat raw, said was good but not the best he's had) The dish that stood out the most for me was the Spanish octopus. I love how it didn't come with any carbs it was just the squid on top of the smokey eggplant purée topped with the pesto sauces and some green veggies. If you're hungry, I would definitely order this dish with something else or appetizers. Everything else we had was solid. Highly recommend! read more

This has to be one of the best brunches I've been to in terms of food but the service was painfully slow. I was starving too so it didn't help. We also had to ask for more alcohol in our drinks because it tasted like juice. I think this place used to have bottomless brunch which is what we were hoping for but maybe they changed this due to the impact of COVID. My friends and I got a ton of food! Oysters, salmon salad, prosciutto Benedict, burger, sweet and spicy pizza! Everything was in big portions and tasted so good! I really have nothing bad to say about the food at all. The interior is super cute and modern! Even the bathrooms! Definitely wanna come back but hoping the service improves. read more

I came here for dinner last night with my wife, and our experience was such a rollercoaster ride in the beginning, but then ultimately unfolded into one of the best dinner I've had in a long time. The place is absolutely gorgeous. There is so much going on with the decor, from the tapestry to leopard bar stools and pillows, and it all works. The hosting staff was so nice and attentive. We showed up at 8:45 pm for our reservation and were seated immediately. We sat upstairs. The tables were a little tightly stacked together, kind of New York style, and it was packed when we arrived. We were immediately greeted by our server who was very nice but seemed a bit overwhelmed. We noticed the table next to us were eating pizza and had asked the waiter for two cocktails as he rushed by. It took about 5 minutes for us to get water at our table. The server finally took our drink order, but it took almost 20 minutes to get our first cocktails! And when we got them, the table next to us still hadn't gotten theirs. Needless to say, the bar was very backlogged and clearly understaffed. The server then took our food order. He was very knowledgeable of the menu and identified his favorites. But about 10 minutes after we ordered, while my wife was in the bathroom, the server came back to my table and asked me if I was ready to order! Lol. I reminded him that he just took our complete food order. And he quickly checked his pad and realized he had our order, then apologized. The table next to us overheard this and started laughing. They then complained to me that they were still waiting on their drinks, and that the service had been very slow. We saw another table get seated and then leave within 15 minutes. Obviously, the first 25-minutes after being seated was a mess of an experience. But after the table next to us left, and the place cleared up a bit, the service became stellar and the food blew our minds. The server totally redeemed himself. I think he was just flabbergasted by the slow bar service, which set him back. But once the food starting flowing in, the service was perfect. We started off with some oysters and the foie gras. The oysters were fresh and perfectly shucked. The foie gras was prepared pate style and the best I ever had. There was no bitter aftertaste and the jam on top of the foie gras was perfect. The server brought us more toast because I demolished the first serving. I cant wait to come back and order this again. For our second course we ordered the Margherita Pizza. The crust and sauce were amazing. I highly recommend the pizza. We were blown away. For the third course, we ordered the Mafaldine Alla Vodka, Thumbalina Carrots and Octopus. OMG. The pasta was one of the best I ever had. The sauce was amazing and there was so much crab in the dish. I never saw that kind of pasta before. It was like lasagna noodles sliced up. It really worked. The carrots were phenomenal. They were served over a delicious creamy feta. The octopus was cooked perfectly. I didn't love the eggplant puree but it was good. I'm just not a fan of eggplant. But overall the dish was executed extremely well. The portions were pretty good for the price too. We were extremely full and took some pizza home. Overall, the food here is incredible. The restaurant is gorgeous. The cocktails were delicious. They just need to iron out some kinks with the service. I would suggest going during non-peak hours until they figure out their staffing and service issues. But I assure you that you will not be disappointed. Great addition to the Philly restaurant scene. read more

My friends and I went to Wilder for restaurant week. To say we were disappointed was an understatement. Our poor experience started with our waitress. As we were taking a picture, our waitress came over and told we could not use flash. We were confused, as we were not bothering anyone, as all the tables around us were empty. Now the food, underwhelming. Two of us picked the braised beef, dry and chewy. So chewy, that I practically choked on a piece. My friend picked the mafaldine pasta with crab. The crab tasted fake, and sauce was so terrible, my friend practically did not touch her entree. Needless to say we will not be back. There are so many good restaurants in the city, don't waste your money here. read more

There was a fly in my salad, and although it was taken back the service afterwards was terrible. The server (short blonde hair) refused to come back to our table and the manager (tall man wearing eagles jersey) never came over to apologize and speak to us. The server never asked if we wanted anything else to drink or eat. She came at the very end when I asked another server to get her only at that time did she explain that our drinks would be covered and we would receive free dessert. I let her know the manager should have said something, and she said he collected the plate with the fly. She then abruptly walked off, proceeded to gossip next to the bar with the manger, and our table watched as both laughed at our table. We left the restaurant disgusted, upset, and will never return. read more

Food is just okay, but vibes are ADORABLE. We sat upstairs and there was a funky painted bar and plants in the skylights. The entire place gives 70s speakeasy. Carbonara had a slightly off putting sour note, and was too creamy (from description I had expected a more traditional carbonara). Pasta was a bit too soft. Wanted the mafaldine, but they were unable to sub the protein and I'm allergic to crab. My friend had the chicken sandwich and said it was good. It was enormous and hard to eat, though. read more

I was very much looking forward to eating here and have had it on my list of restaurants to check out for a while, but I kept putting it off after hearing mixed reviews from friends. Some friends and I went for lunch and were looking forward to it after checking out the menu online. The restaurant is beautifully decorated with great ambiance. The service was great. We spent a lot of time chatting and our server was patient and kept coming back. I know that can get annoying but she kept a smile on her face. Now on to the food. I ordered the Jumbo Lump Crab Cake and for a drink I ordered the Kimono Racer. The drink was so creative and interesting. It came out with a pickle laying across the top on a toothpick. I was a bit nervous but so good! I liked the tart, sweet and slightly pickley taste of the drink so the pickle on top made sense. Really was interesting how the contrasting flavors were perfectly paired in this drink. The crab cake and side salad weren't nearly as exciting. The crab cake is good and all meat, no nasty fillers. I like tartar sauce, wouldn't say it's my favorite condiment, but I didn't enjoy the one that came with the crab cake. I was trying to pinpoint what I didn't like about it, but not sure. Just didn't enjoy it so I didn't use it. The side salad was so basic. It had very little flavor and didn't add much value to the meal. My lunch partners had the Spicy Chicken Sandwich, Sansom Street Saesar with chicken and the Garlicky Clam Pizza. We all agreed to the food was fine/good but sadly didn't live up to our expectations. The worst part was I left hungry so I had to stop and get tacos before heading home. My piece of advice is don't go there on an empty stomach or make sure you order heavier foods if you're really hungry. I've been contemplating whether I'd go back. I'm curious to see what dinner is like so for now it's a TBD. read more
