Wilder is a hidden gem which offers brunch/lunch, dinner, and drinks. We came for brunch around 11AM on a Saturday and surprisingly had no wait. The whisky glazed French toast had the right amount of whisky without being too overpowering. The brioche toast was light and pillowy, a dish that can't be faulted. The shakshuka was a tasty and hearty dish which paired well with the pesto toast. Don't hesitate to ask the server for more pesto toast because two slices was not enough! Overall, Wilder is a solid brunch option in Cow Hollow with decent food, cozy atmosphere, and no line! read more

Came here for restaurant week! Honestly for $45 the pick your own 3 course menu with $9 specialty cocktail is super worth it! I've been meaning to try this place and really glad I was able to. The brussel sprouts with calamari and the burrata were my two fav starters. For the mains I recommend the ahi tacos and the bolognese pasta. The portions are also pretty big, I came with my friends and we basically ordered one of everything and were so full we couldn't finish all the food. The staff were all really polite and attentive. The vibe is interesting it looks like a regular restaurant with a bar but def seemed more sporty esp during game night. I would definitely recommend Wilder for restaurant week and will be coming back read more

Yummy drinks, good food, and quality service. What more can you ask for?! This spot has been on my list for their espresso martinis and I was so glad my friends and I finally made it out to Wilder. With so many drinks to choose from it's amazing to me that mostly everyone I saw there ordered an espresso martini. They're that good! I also had the bolognese pasta was very tasty and meaty. Portion size was pretty good as well for it being a $23 plate. I was definitely full and satisfied at the end of the meal. Their outdoor seating was really nice especially cause there was heaters. It felt nice to be warm with the sf breeze in the background. I'll definitely be back! read more

- good drinks - nice atmosphere - bartender rude Place is nice for drinks and to chill. However, the skinny male bartender was very rude when you try to order drinks. For some reason, he doesn't speak, just uses hand gestures with an egoish face. Not sure why he acted that way lol read more

Incredibly expensive for tiny portions. Loud atmosphere! Orders were delivered incorrectly then my husband ate his dinner in 10 bites for $32 and my dinner arrived several minutes after his was gone. I had a salad! The chicken was good but for additional$7 for 3 oz seriously! Server leaned around the wall to check on us then continued to hang out with his comrades. We had to go get a slice of pizza after. $100 dinner and we were hungry!! read more

Incredible food and amazing service. We loved the food and vibe so much we had our wedding reception in their Private Den for our micro wedding of 24 people! It was so fun and the perfect place. It was our perfect vibe and so aesthetically pleasing! I loved the moody vibes and it perfectly complimented our wedding ideas. Our group was small enough at 24 people so we were able to do a seated dinner with a four course meal. Food was so good and 100% better than a typical catered wedding. My MOH was able to go in before opening and decorated quickly so it was even more beautiful than usual. The team was able to set up for the dinner and helped us take it down once food and cake were done. We were able to dance the night away and have some delicious drinks! They were so attentive and the staff was constantly coming in to check on us and quickly get us drinks or help us with lighting, switching our Spotify playlist, etc. Stellar team and I know this was the perfect place for us. It's was an unforgettable night, even after I had one too many drinks celebrating! I spent weeks looking for an affordable place for after our San Francisco City Hall wedding. All blogs, socials, and reviews told me of dozens of restaurants that for me were ok for a dinner, maybe some dancing. None were perfect or that cost-effective. Wilder was so beautiful and the staff was so friendly. The owner himself showed me the private den and talked to us while we ate dinner there for our first tasting. He went above and beyond that day and our actual reception. He was the one serving the bar and helping me switch my Spotify playlist. You can tell he cares about the client experience and he is helping us even in the tiny details like that! Coming here even for dinner you can tell they cultivate a culture of quality experience and food. Having my actual wedding reception here showed me they will pull all the stops for you to have a memorable experience. I will forever remember our night and keep coming back to relive it! read more

Service was excellent - we had some allergies in our group, and they were very accommodating. Service was also fast. However, besides the delicious truffle fries, we found the food pretty underwhelming. The French toast was quite undercooked, and the shakshouka was not at all what you'd expect a shakshouka to be, so my friend was not a fan. But the restaurant has a nice ambiance and is in a great area. read more

Wilder - Tower drinks... you can mix match - New American Near Me - San Francisco, California

I love going to Wilder for their nine dollar martinis on Thursday. The drinks are good and the deal is even better. My favorite is the basil gimlet but another popular choice is the espresso martini. Previously, I never gotten food from here but this time I was with a group and we ordered, the fries and the spaghetti Bolognese. You can't go wrong with fries. And I was happily surprised by the spaghetti Bolognese my friend got. Except that the ratio of pasta to meat was a bit off. The service was good but not great. There were times where we really had to look for our waiter and flag over to get orders in. read more

Wilder be slightly wildin' for NYD brunch. It was my first time visiting and the decor stood out to me right away. There's a bunch of art and the space is nicely done. Got the corn beef hash and burger for food. Hash was a bit ordinary and kinda bland. Had to add some seasonings and hot sauce. Tried gummy bear drink and it was sweet and had a bunch of gummy bears that I fished out so they weren't ice hard when I wanted to eat them. Cute place for brunch but I'd probably go for the bar next time and just have small bites read more

Nice brunch place at Pacific Heights. The decor and ambiance of Wilder is perfect for a chill weekend brunch vibe. For food, we ordered Meat and egg brunch, French toast, and Egg Benedict. All of them were tasty and in big portion for girls. French toast was the most stunning one for me, crunchy outside and soft and fluffy inside. If you love to have something sweet for brunch, I highly recommend their French toast! For drinks, we had Irish coffee, mimosa, and Gummy bear frose. The three drinks all contained strong alcohol and was really good! read more

Honestly, the food here was pretty mid. It was food at the end of the day. I got a classic eggs Benedict and it hit the spot for being an eggs benny but nothing too spectacular. The inside of the restaurant was decorated really nicely. It looked like it was a popular place for a Sunday brunch. The drinks also looked so cute but my party and I did not drink. Our waiter was also very nice to us. read more

Wilder - Eggs Benedict - New American Near Me - San Francisco, California

Wilder offers both indoor and outdoor seating with daily specials and happy hour (including treats for dogs). A very nice selection of drinks (slushees and mimosas for $5 between 11am-1pm on Saturday and Sundays), vegetarian friendly, and accepts reservations. The prices are similar to what you would expect in the Bay Area. Portion sizes are slightly smaller than in comparison to other brunch spots. The portions were enough and probably what you should eat honestly. Quality of ingredients were pretty good. Smoked Brisket Hash (7/10) Ricotta Blueberry Pancakes (7.5/10) TLDR Tender brisket Soft and not to sweet pancakes (could have used more fruit) read more

Good spot for brunch! They were also super dog friendly and brought water bowls and even puppucinos. Went with the brisket hash with Choi e of sunny side up eggs. The brisket was fatty and smoked with lots of flavor. They also had a drink special at that time for boozy slushie drink in this cute bear glass mug! The pancakes were large and came out in a cute plate read more

Wilder is a great find for a nice bite and exceptional cocktail in the beautiful marina. My spouse and I went to Wilder for a sort of last minute business dinner while my spouse's boss was in town for client meetings. We ended up going on valentine's day since it was the only night they were in town. I was excited to see that Wilder had their usual menu instead of a special valentine's only meal and we could get a reservation to make sure we weren't waiting in the rain. The hostess sat us immediately upon arrival and staff were friendly. We arrived while they were slow, only 2 other tables were seated. They did get significantly busier with time, being full indoors by the time we left around 6:30pm. Wait staff were attentive the whole night and didn't linger or hover so we could enjoy the meal. They do have a lovely patio area which we be great if it wasn't sprinkly on and off all day/night. My spouse ordered the short rib with Mac and cheese while I had the porkchop and applesauce. Both entrees were flavorful and delicious. The porkchop was cooked to perfection and was incredibly tender. Our guest had the Cajun curry with chicken which they said was good. As a group we shared a poke appetizer which was fantastic. My spouse does not normally like a lot of fish but did enjoy the poke. My spouse opted for a Mexican coke to be our driver and I had their cocktail of the month which was something on the lines of a blood orange aperol sour; best cocktail I've had in a long time. I would come back for the cocktail alone and have recommended Wilder to multiple coworkers because of that cocktail. Wilder has me looking up recipes to recreate the cocktail at home now. read more

Visited 10/19/24. Visited for a brunch at Wilder. We made a reservation and they were very accommodating when we had to move it back slightly time-wise, so major props for this. They also gave us a choice between indoor and outdoor, which I always appreciate. The place itself was cute-didn't get a big look inside since we opted for outside, but they had a cute sidewalk/street patio. They have very fun drink options and honestly I get why my friends recommended this is in the first place as a good place to get an espresso martini. Their espresso martinis were fabulous, so smooth with the right amount of foam at the top. My friend and I weren't too hungry so we split the Dungeness crab avocado toast. While the toast was decent, it didn't blow me away. The best part of it was the crab but I don't know if I liked the balsamic/greens or not (would've preferred an egg or hot sauce on top of the crab instead of frisee). My other friend got the french toast which looked really solid and pretty. Overall, great presentation and really fun place to take people but I would take amazing and memorable flavors over presentation any day. Still a super cute brunch spot. read more

Came in on a Sunday for brunch and there was no wait to be seated. We sat indoors and the setting was perfect to catch up with some friends. Started off with iced oat milk vanilla lattes which were quite strong - after requesting an extra splash of milk they were great. Veggies and egg scrambled - 4/5, good portion size and the goat cheese was a good mild addition of flavor Classic Continental - 3/5, Reliable option! Bacon could've been a bit crispier but the eggs and bread were perfect. Chicken Caesar Wrap - 2/5, not the best wrap, could have better chicken. Truffle fries - 5/5, Delicious and came with a yummy dipping sauce! Overall, Wilder is a great option to grab a quick bite for brunch in one of SF's best neighborhoods. read more

Wow, I can't believe I waited to visit this spot for dinner in the Marina until now. It's such a nice place to eat down and enjoy some comfort food! The inside is beautiful, but we decided to enjoy the patio seating outside because the weather was so nice. We ordered some delicious steak, pork buns, pork burger, garlic fries, Mac n cheese, and burrata. The quality was amazing and our server, Angel, gave some killer recommendations! I especially loved the chocolate cake at the end. It has a cute red rose on it and is so soft. Afterwards, we headed to their speakeasy lounge in the back of the restaurant to play some fun games and chill. It's a nice area for a smaller group and there's even an electric fireplace back there! Love the aesthetics here. Highly recommend! read more

Fun place to go with a group of people, they have a variety of dishes & a fun happy hour menu. I came here during a weekday evening (a stop before a comedy show across the block). There were plenty of seats and we were able to seat a group of 5 pretty quickly. They have a variety of western food from: burgers, pasta, ribs & steak, chicken and pork. I was excited about the Bolognese Pasta (which they mentioned they slow cooked the beef & pork). It was pretty delicious and filling, I was able to eat a whole plate to myself. We also ordered the Burrata & Crostini which was a great app to share. The way they prepared it was really unique and definitely got us ready for the main course. I also ordered the Wilder Espresso-Tini, I didn't taste the Horchata much but it did taste less frothy as usual espressotinis I order. I personally would've ordered a different drink that would pair better with my meal. Overall, great place to check out and I'd like to come back to try more of the drinks and perhaps the sangria pitcher with a larger group of people during brunch. read more

The restaurant is nice and modern with bright lights. The bar is cozy and has two TV's. I came here for a late brunch and sat at the bar. My group was promptly attended to. To drink we had the mimosas which were strong (in a good way) and a lemon drop. Both were very good! To eat we ordered the chicken cesar salad and a breakfast burrito. The salad was just okay. A large portion but it lacked that tang. The chicken was good though! The breakfast burrito was pretty moist and the tortilla wasn't crisp enough. Additionally, it felt like a lot was going on inside of the burrito. We didn't finish either dishes and didn't take them home. Overall, I think we just picked the wrong dishes. I'd love to come back and try something new considering that the space is beautiful and the drinks were good. read more

The last Saturday I had brunch here with my husband, our little girl and some friends. Reserving a table was very easy. I also did a last minute change and everything was fine (maybe because I booked a table outside). I ordered the ricotta blueberry pancakes (I really liked them) and the veggie omelette (also this plate was good) that comes with potatoes and salad. My husband ate the burger (he said was very yummy), while my friends the whiskey glazed French toast and other plates that I don't remember, but everyone enjoyed the food. The service was good and everything came out at the same time, so we ate all together. Outside is also better if you have a stroller with you (they also have a bathroom with the changing station that is a plus because not every place has). read more

Overall 8.3/10 A friend recommended this spot to me for their espresso martinis, so when San Francisco restaurant week came around, I took the opportunity to try out more than just the martinis and venture into their brunch menu as well! it's definitely worth it to visit! The food is good but it's the ambiance that will blow you away! Food 8/10 For restaurant week, each person could choose from their brunch menu an appetizer and an entrée. We chose: Whiskey French toast Burrata & Crostini Vegetable omelette Wilder's mixed greens salad And of course.... the cocktail tower!! The food was good, but nothing blew our mind. The plates were good, hearty classics. In order to get the cocktail tower, you need to get 5 drinks, so this could be perfect for a group outing! For our tower, we picked: 2x espresso martinis white sangria mimosa Hugo spritz Service 8/10 our waitress was attentive, though one staff member brought out the wrong plate for me initially. I tried to communicate that this was not what I ordered, but it seemed there was a language barrier. We were able to figure it out, and I got the correct plate eventually. Otherwise, Wilder was bustling with movement and excitement! It's apparent that they are a neighborhood favorite. I heard staff talking to customers by their first name and the folks at the bar were having a blast together. They're also extremely dog friendly and have a menu and treats for the dogs! So sweet. I even saw a pup cup! Ambiance 9/10 Wilder is in a great location for a day of good food and drinking, perfect for a Friday evening or a Saturday brunch. The vibes here are so good. I couldn't help but think it would be a perfect place to pregame for a night in the city. Wilder is perfect for literally any occasion you could think of. During our meal, we saw families seated on the patio, individuals with their dogs & a book, a boys brunch happening at the bar, dates like my own, and also girls a bachelorette! if I'm being nit-picky, one detractor was that some guests at the bar had loud outbursts. read more

Okay brunch. Came here on the recommendation of someone I follow on Instagram and had it bookmarked for a while. Finally decided to try something new and came here for brunch. I ordered the veggie scramble which came with breakfast potatoes. I had higher expectations for the potatoes, which tasted a bit stale (maybe the oil they used?) Anyway, it was just okay. read more

Went here for a boozy brunch with friends. On Saturday have a $5 mimosa deal till 1pm. I got on of each flavor, like a make your own mimosa flight (don't worry I shared with a friend). Food: The food was decent, nothing to rave about. The burger tasted good but fell apart after the first bite. It was very messy. Their fries are solid. My shakshuka was over cooked. The tomato sauce was like paste and the eggs were not runny. The eggs were baked so long they get rubbery. The flavor was fine but the textures were off. The French toast was good but had no whisky boozy flavor. PSA: They have a few mimosa flavors. They all taste the same! They just taste like champagne. read more

Came here for a friends bday dinner on a Saturday night! Definitely a venue for multiple occasions - a combo of nice aesthetics for Instagram posting, good brunch and dinner menus, and a festive bar! It was very loud Saturday night; a lottt of ppl at the bar but we were able to talk and order without a problem. We got multiple pitchers of cocktails which were very refreshing and fruity - not too strong but enough to get the night started! Many of us got bolognese pasta - came with a SUBSTANTIAL amount of meat and sauce. Pasta was cooked perfectly. Also got the tuna poke but would say it's on the higher price end ($20) for the portion and wasn't too memorable. The steak another person got looks amazing - might try that next time! read more

Cute decor. Definitely insta worthy pictures. Service was great at the beginning and then we were non-existent thereafter. Couldn't even get a chance to order a crafted drink after our order so that was a huge disappointment. Check out took some time as well. food wise: I LOVED the whiskey French toast. It was completely soaked so if it don't like soaked bread don't get it. Everything else was standard. It's nice to try at least once. Maybe you'll get better service then we did! read more

Best service, delicious food, great atmosphere. The staff is professional and kind. This is a great establishment.

I was only able to visit here for their Winter pop up and the drink menu is a true highlight, it has wide range of nicely crafted drinks that cater to a variety of tastes. Whether you're a fan of classic concoctions or prefer adventurous flavor combinations, the bartenders at Wilders have you covered! The holiday presentation of the drinks is as impressive and fun as the taste, with each cocktail served in a fun and festive cup. Service at Wilders is attentive and friendly, with staff members knowledgeable about the menu and quick to offer recommendations. To state the obvious, it is extremely slow during busy times so be patient with the bartenders as they are doing their very best to get you out the best drinks. The holiday decor adds to the overall positive and welcoming atmosphere, enhancing the overall drinking experience, bringing much merriment and cheer. Located in the Fillmore it's such a fun stop to add to your bar hopping holiday tour read more

The whole experience was MIDDD. The food is sooo expensive for food that is mediocre at best. The garlic bread was a toast bun. The "bread bowl" was a bun. The food I got was okay but we were expecting more for the price. The service was okay. They seem busy so I guess that is why but for the price, I do expect better. The drinks were also not that great. The espresso martini for being one of the best places to get a martini... kinda of disappointed. The fries were the best part. You are paying for the ambiance. read more

Very tasty food (salmon teriyaki and chicken piccata) and cocktails. Friendly service. Highly recommended!

The food is Amazing and so fresh! I love how they incorporated the salad with the meal. Usually breakfast doesn't come with it. The hostess is owed for the position! This is a definite go back to and highly recommend. The brisket is so tender and juicy it's a must!!! read more

(3.5 stars) Great spot for a Sunday boozy brunch! Made reservations for Sunday around noon, but they had plenty of indoor and outdoor seating. We were seated outdoor next to some heat lamps, but the music was soooo loud we moved ourselves to a different table. The highlight of the brunch was the froze which is only $5 on weekends during brunch time. It's a frozen rose with juice served in the cutest bear cup topped with gummy bears! Perfect for that basic cheers video for your IG story. And for only $5... that's unheard of! The food was decent, and some dishes weren't very noteworthy. The brisket hash was a little dry and needed some sauce. The mac and cheese was hard. I would get the pumpkin pancakes again... and I'm not even a big fan of pumpkin! Service was prompt and friendly. I would definitely come back here for the drinks. It's a solid brunch spot in SF that isn't super packed. read more

I came here for their happy hour and was not too impressed. The mussels were a bit off; there was a pile of sausage and random stuff in the broth. It looked like slop. The burrata was good. The bread that came with the mussels was not as good as the bread served with the burrata. The Caesar salad was terrible. It had this weird aftertaste. It was as if someone poured expired canola oil over it. All that being said, our server was attentive and brought us everything we needed in a timely manner. read more

The $5 brunch beverages (mimosas and froze) are good and they are happy to keep them coming until noon on the weekends. I was not impressed by the breakfast burrito, it was bland and did not come with much sauce or anything to provide flavor. Our waitress was very attentive and brought us everything in a timely fashion, even gave us the $5 drinks at 12:02. The outside seating leaves a little to be desired. read more

Brunch: The brunch menu was absolutely delicious. They have a great happy hour for brunch with $5 mimosas (you can only order 2 per person though). The food was also exceptional. The ricotta pancakes really stood out. Dinner: After enjoying the brunch, we decided to come here for dinner during Christmas time and food was unfortunately not up to par. The wilder burger is extremely mediocre. You can get a lot of other better burgers in the city. The Mac and cheese with the short ribs was pretty good. The chicken wings were unfortunately pretty much inedible. We left the entire plate uneaten. The best thing on the dinner menu was the garlic bread I do recommend going during Christmas time though. They have adorable decorations and a great festive drink menu (including a festive shotski!). They also have a cutely decorated back room where you can enjoy a drink. read more

We came during happy hour and it was nice place to take photos. However, the food and drinks didn't really amount to much,especially for the price it came at. We got (2) bolognese pastas, baked goat cheese, and the funky flamingo bowl (during happy hour). The pasta was good, albeit smaller portion than what was shown in pictures. The Funky Flamingo bowl tasted more like syrup and was heavily watered down. The ice was definitely not helping the cause and they even mischarged us for full price instead of happy hour price (which was when we came in) and we had to tell them. The baked goat cheese was only given with 5 pieces of very thinly sliced bread. Which is totally not worth the $18 it cost for a "small plate". I won't come back here since it seems more like a place fit for aesthetics and photos, and not focused on their food and drinks. read more

Some girlfriends and I saw Wilder's Gummy Bear Frose drinks trending on Instagram, so we were excited to come out to the Marina and check it out. We were pleasantly surprised that there was no wait for a table for Sunday brunch. There was ample seating indoors and outdoors! They have a "Daily Specials" Drinks Menu and on Sundays they have $5 Slushees & Mimosas from 11AM - 1PM. We each got a Froze and really enjoyed it! We saw other tables order mimosas and other fun drinks that looked good so I definitely recommend coming with a group to try the other cocktails. The food was pretty average IMO. We ordered the Smoked Brisket Hash, Wild Pancakes, and a side of fries and mac & cheese. My favorite was probably the Wild Pancakes! The pancakes were cooked pretty well and it had just the right amount of pumpkin flavor and sweetness. The savory dishes weren't very memorable though. It's worth checking out Wilder if you're interested in their drinks (especially for the daily specials ;)), but I think there are better brunch options in the city. read more
