    Espresso martini
    Katie R.

    Came here for a quick drink and app before diner, so this review is mostly based on the espresso martinis - which while are plentiful in the city, not all are good. Luckily the tinis here did not disappoint! They were heavy on the coffee with a slight sweetness that wasn't overpowering at all, the perfect tini in my book. We came on a Tuesday night, which happened to have happy hour all night and oyster specials at $2/per. We got a round of oysters for the table, and they were a big hit. I've just started to enjoy oysters and while I don't always like them, these ones I did! Would come back again for a tini and to try some of their other cocktails!

    When you're first stop is at Wilder, you know you're in for a good night. Came in with a crew for espresso martinis and light apps. We were rolling deep with 9 of us, so luckily we were able to reserve a table for all of us ahead of time. I love an espresso martini and they really know how to do it up here! Topped with gold dusted espresso beans and the perfect amount of depth and sweetness. I flew into San Fran earlier this day and the caffeine boost was exactly what I needed to start off the night strong. For bites we got the baked goat cheese and oysters. These bites were definitely made to share -- it was so easy to put the plates in the middle of the table and have everyone grab what they wanted. I'm still getting over an oyster aversion but loved the goat cheese with some yummy bread. Overall, really loved the vibe of the whole place and even checked out the very clean bathrooms before heading out.

    We stopped in for drinks and light bites with a group of nine. This spot was welcoming, bright and the decorations were fun as well. Definitely a cool spot for a drink. Most of us ordered espresso martinis and they were delicious. A great coffee flavor, and no too sweet. I also liked the gold dusted espresso beans they topped the drink with- a very cute touch. The bites were also tasty, and easily shareable. We ended up with the baked goat cheese and some oysters. I'd love to see what this spot looks like later in the evening, but I loved the vibes early on a Tuesday evening. Still bright, not too loud, and we had a perfect large table where we could all talk together.

    Wildest Burger w/side caesar salad.
    Jason S.

    Went for dinner on a Friday around 7 PM and were seated right away, no wait for a table of three. We had originally planned to go elsewhere, but with an hour-long wait there, we ended up at Wilder--and I'm glad we did. I ordered the Wildest Burger, and it was incredible. The combination of the burger patty, mortadella, braised pork belly, and American cheese was spot on. Instead of fries, I opted for a side Caesar salad, which had just the right amount of dressing but could have been a little colder. Service was great, too. Overall, a fantastic experience and will be back!

    Good vibes and really friendly staff. They let me and a friend hang out at the bar for nearly 3 hours to get wine buzzed. I'll definitely be back!

    Wilder has cute decor and a fun atmosphere! The service was great and the food came quickly. For lunch I had the Chicken Caesar Wrap and it was one of the best I've had in San Francisco! If you're in the area I definitely recommend stopping by.

    STEAMED PORK BELLY BUNS, spritz tower, and French Fries
    Mary Bryan O.

    Great place for a weekend happy hour! We got the spritz tower (5 spritz for 45 dollars!). The steamed pork belly buns, fries and wings are great! My friend got their chicken Caesar salad which seemed reliable. I hope they decide to bring back tini Thursdays again- that was an unbeatable deal!

    French Fries and a dirty martini
    Alyssa D.

    I love coming here for a crisp martini that is accompanied by a side car so you're truly getting bang for your buck. They are fantastic every time, no matter which bartending is crafting them. Now to the food, honestly, I'm not impressed. The French fries were good, don't get me wrong but if you are looking to go somewhere for a meal there are better options in the area. I felt like the food was lacking flavors, we got wings, burrata, ahi taco and more. I wouldn't go back for any of these items, only for the martini.

    Crab avocado toast
    Christine W.

    Came here with a friend for brunch before shopping around the Marina! The food was great in my opinion. My friend and I got the crab avocado toast and the blueberry ricotta pancakes to share! The crab avocado toast was delicious and definitely a highlight for me - a 10/10. The blueberry ricotta pancakes were a bit on the sweeter side, but I still enjoyed it. The fruit was also very fresh - a 8/10. My friend and I also both each got froses, which come in the cutest bear cups! It was a bit more alcoholic than I expected, but still very good! The ambiance is also nice, and the bathrooms as well as the interior are all decorated very beautifully! I really liked the style. The service was also very good as the servers were attentive and checked up on us periodically :) Overall, I would definitely come back again for brunch!

    CALAMARI AND BRUSSELS SPROUTS
    Susan T.

    Oh boy !!! What an amazing experience here !!! Came here to celebrate our friend 35TH birthday and omg !!! The service was beyond incredible!!!Riley was honestly so sweet ! She walked us there the menu, let us know what type of drinks they had! We got the steaks and pork chops ! RECOMMENDING THE STEAK !! It's sooooo good !!! Their appetizers was amazing as well! Definitely the calamari's was our tables favorite !! It was very cozy inside, making the dinner very intimate with our friends ! Definitely would come back !!

    Rebecca B.

    Great menu and hands-down the best vibe on Fillmore Street. The craft cocktails are top-notch, and the espresso martinis are still the best in the city. Food is always amazing. It's usually crowded when I'm there--which probably says it all. Fun atmosphere and awesome ambiance. Love this spot!

    Amy G.

    This is the best place for outdoor drinks because it's not nearly as crowded as Balboa, but has better service and vibes. Their happy hour deals are phenomenal! Highly recommend checking the times and menus and coming with a group of friends. Brunch food was okay, definitely not amazing but the prices are fantastic and the servings are hefty. Not a ton of flavor but can all be elevated with some hot sauce that you can ask for on the side! $5 mimosas (multiple flavors to choose from!) and frose on the weekends from 10a-12p are the best way to kick off a beautiful day - especially the frosé which comes with gummy bears on top.

    Outside

    Busy but fun night vibe. We didn't have any food, but we had a few cocktails. We had lemon drop martinis. $12 each. Very yummy

The army stew was not too salty and warmed us up! The soy garlic chicken was not overly sweet and was crispy too. The spicy pork was good but there were a few pieces that was chewy. It wasn't that spicy though but it still tasted good. The creamy pasta and tteok was good too and lived up to its name.

We stepped inside to put our names on the list. While we waited outside we checked out their menu, which was conveniently displayed on their window. The dishes sounded great and it helped us decide what to order before we were even seated. The restaurant was on the smaller side, so seating was a tad cramped, but overall it felt cozy. They had a cute neon light with their name. We got a couple appetizers, which included the pan fried dumplings and tteokbokki. I ordered the Spicy Japchae for my main dish. They brought the banchan out pretty quickly, which we all devoured in seconds because we were so hungry. Then our main dishes started coming out of the kitchen. My spicy japchae was just the right amount of heat. Spicy enough to still be enjoyable. While eating our main dishes the pan fried dumplings came out, which was odd since we ordered it as an appetizer. And the tteokbokki we had ordered, never was added to our order by our waiter. After being told that by another waiter, we just decided to cancel it. The meal was pretty filling without feeling too heavy. Overall, it was decent.

Not in a burger mood, I first went with an indulgent treat, the $11 Brioche French Toast Bites, five of them dusted with powdered sugar and accompanied by maple syrup (Photo 8). Quite tasty and gone in seconds.
