A few easy improvements would make this a 5-star review! 3 of the 4 dishes we shared were excellent and the 4th was solid. Didn't love the counter spot facing the window but we showed up without a reservation so was grateful to be able to eat there without planning. What went right: first - our server and service was great, friendly and knowledgeable. the first appetizer, KM39 and nectarines, was fabulous in its simplicity. KM39 is an age cheese from Galicia province of Spain and hits many of the notes you'd expect from Parmesan Reggiano (not quite as good). It was dressed with a little olive oil and balsamic vinegar. The nectarines were so sweet and pretty too. The little gems salad was tasty and what drew us in was the crackling' but had a bit too much shallot in the dressing and was not chilled - an easy fix in my opinion. Our entrees were phenomenal. The skin on my Sea Bream was charred and crispy and the fish firm but moist. The rub on my spouse's pork chop was an umami bomb - lovely. Both the sauces were terrific but overly generous. I used an extra plate provided to keep that fish skin staying crispy. The Welsh Rabbit that we ordered as an appetizer was forgot but the server offered us a free ice cream at the end. We declined because we were satiated but it was a nice gesture. Here's what could be improved: the white wine list was carefully curated and we loved the bottle of Chenin Blanc. We loved the Le Crueset wine sleeve and we hated the 50 cent IKEA wine glasses! . Most of the wines run about $70 so the restaurant should buy better wider wine glasses to enhance the bouquet of the wine. These were so narrow they were almost champagne flutes. The Somm did a great job on the wine list but must know nothing about beer - or they were actively discouraging its consumption. Yes I know this is British influenced cuisine but Guinness and Miller are your two beer choices. Yes we had wine but some people still prefer beer. These days you need an IPA or Pale Ale on the choice list and you'll please half of the beer drinkers. A Blonde Ale would be much better than Miller. No one is going to Wilde's for dinner and then trying to save a few dollars in their beverage. The complimentary tap water could have been chilled but I also know that is not the custom in England. read more

I was waiting to be disappointed with this very hyped restaurant with a British themed menu and small selection of dishes but NOPE! Five stars! One of the best meals I've had in LA and I eat everywhere! Our server was the nicest and went into such detail about the dishes and the wines. Excellent service. The place is very daintily decorated with its antiques adorning the walls. I did find it a bit cramped and the noise level was up there but we could hear each other just fine. Every single thing we had was SUPERB! That pork loin, that mackerel! The Guinness bread and make sure you pair with the Shropshire cheese and apricots. Can't wait to go back!! Applause Applause!! read more

Wish Yelp had half stars because this is a 2.5. Been wanting to try Wide's for dinner but haven't been able to snag a reservation. Decided to try them for breakfast. Servers are there in body. It's a person submitting your order to the kitchen and bar (or barista) and telling you where to tap your credit card before you choose a 20% gratuity or more. For breakfast whether you're taking your order to go or dining in, you order at the window on the sidewalk. For inside dining, take your number and find a table. I liked the vibe. Like the wood and warm paint colors that were chosen. The leaded glass windows and touches of warmth rather than bright and airy atmospheres that typically make up SoCal restaurants. The playlist in the background fit the setting. Iced latte was good. Whoever's espresso beans they're using is tasty. The espresso to milk ratio was spot on. The plain scone with clotted cream and preserves were okay too. The porridge with stewed fruits and toasted hazelnuts was a fail. The porridge wasn't hot. The hazelnuts were bitter. And the toasting of the hazelnuts didn't help them. Nuts can turn rancid and become bitter if they're not fresh. The restroom is tiny and they manage to maximize the small square footage. The toilet is incredibly close to the urinal and I almost commend the owner or contractor for jamming both bathroom necessities into the small space. Food was dropped off at our table with nary a word. A bottle of water and glasses are already on the tables so there is no need to stop by and refill waters or check on tables to see if they're doing okay? Or ask how they like the food? Or if they need anything else? Service is almost nonexistent. Humans are walking around, but they appear to be in their minds and their facial expressions--anywhere but servers working in a service industry called the restaurant business. Dining out isn't simply the food. It's the food, atmosphere, and service. Not only Wilde's, but the majority of restaurants in L.A. have stopped making service an important part of their business. read more

Silver Lake / Los Feliz area's hottest new brunch spot right now!! This isn't just a brunch place it's that perfect mix of British vibes + California mood (basically the LA aesthetic everyone loves these days) In the daytime, it's a bright, sun-filled cafe but at night, it completely transforms into a romantic, wine-friendly vibe (love that the mood changes depending on the time) Highlights: aesthetic interior (antique + candlelit vibes) amazing natural light great value brunch menu read more

This was a tough weekend reservation to snag, but so happy I finally got to try Wilde's! We ordered the beets & brebis, battered fish & mint, meat pie, and the sticky toffee pudding. Beets & brebis: 8/10. This was solid, the beets were fresh, and the brebis was very rich and paired well with them. We also added on the house bread, which was delicious! Battered fish & mint: 6/10. Despite the hype around this, we found this somewhat underwhelming. It was good but not particularly memorable. The mint flavor in the sauce was subtle, and the dish felt overpriced. Meat pie: 8/10. This was yummy! A bit pricey but was very hearty and filling. The pie crust was flakey and buttery, and the inside was packed with wagyu beef and peas and was very flavorful. This also came with a side of their greens, which were served lukewarm and dressed with a citrus vinaigrette (my partner didn't like this at all, though I thought they were fine). Sticky toffee pudding: 10/10. Definitely the highlight of our meal. I loved the fun chewy texture of the cake balanced by the sticky toffee sauce. It's very sweet (by Asian girl standards) but I still loved it. I would come back just to get this again. The entrees are pretty large and probably too much for one person alone, so I'd recommend ordering two apps, one entree +/- dessert for 2 people. The restaurant has a warm, intimate atmosphere, but because the space is so small (the back of my chair was literally touching the chair at the table behind me), it got pretty loud at times and made it difficult to have a conversation with my partner. Overall I thought Wilde's was pretty good though overhyped. I'd like to come back at least one more time to try their brunch menu. read more

Loved the food and super cozy ambiance. The bread and butter was a MUST. The steak was also great

New restaurant (as of 12/2025) located in the Los Feliz area that I believe features a British menu with comforting classics. As of the time of my visit, I think they're open 4 days a week for breakfast/bakery type service and dinner service. I came here for dinner with a couple of friends, so I can't speak to the earlier service. They're trying to create a neighborhood spot/ walk-in type place so reservations do exist, but it's more first come (and sign up), first serve. I got here right at opening on a Saturday evening and the wait for a table was about 2 hours (not a biggie because I just explored the neighborhood for a while). Again, I think they just recently opened, which may be a reason that the wait is so long a the moment. Because of the size of the space and minimalist decor (featuring lots of woodsy accents), this place has a cozy bistro vibe - or it feels like I went to the UK and decided to drive outside of a major city to the countryside and stumbled across this restaurant. (I'm basing this on movies/TV shows I've seen as I've never visited the UK). The menu is simple with not an overwhelming amount of choices, which I love. We ordered a fried pork dish served with carrots and a sauce (that wasn't on the menu that evening), the Welsh rarebit, the battered skate & mint along with an order of the salt & vinegar chips (basically their fish and chips), bangers & mash, and we added an order of their greens to help cut through the rich items we ordered. We also ordered a bottle of wine from their streamlined wine menu to go along with dinner. Everything was prepared really well with great flavors and textures. The food was simple in the best way possible focusing on the ingredients with minimal techniques. The greens, suggested by the waiter, was a great call to go along with all that we ordered. Overall, I just had a wonderful experience and meal here. The service was attentive, friendly, and helpful and added to the dining experience that felt like a nice evening out, but not too stuffy. Would love to come back and come here to experience breakfast. read more

You MUST go to Wilde's and try EVERYTHING! Was lucky enough to go with a group of friends during their opening weekend and we all had the best time. The interior is cozy, chic, and tastefully decorated. Staff are friendly and knowledgeable. The menu is precise and delicious. We tried the Welsh rarebit, chicory salad, bangers & mash, duck breast & winter squash, meat pie for two, battered skate, greens, salt & vinegar chips, eton mess, and stick toffee pudding. Loved everything we had! I was just in England and had an amazing sticky toffee pudding at a local pub and Wilde's absolutely rivaled it. read more

Wilde's - Sticky toffee pudding - Diners Near Me - Los Angeles, California

Super unfriendly, pretentious staff. No greeting, no response when you say "thank you," or "goodbye!" so don't bother. The place was practically empty with maybe four tables seated. Not the chef twerkin behind the La Marzocco with the barista Girl, I almost gagged on my sausage roll... which was cold in the middle, by the way. The scones were midddddddd AF. hockey puck...Clotted cream was bland and the preserve was way too tart. More variety would help. Also... butter? Maybe even a sugar station for coffee and tea? The menu was tiny and honestly kind of strange. Definitely not worth the hype whatsoever. Constructive advice to the owners: hospitality matters. Hire warm, welcoming staff who actually make guests feel comfortable and wanted. Needs over sight from management...being a POS Will not make you money, not worth hiring lazy "hipsters" read more

2/27/2026 4 1/2 Stars Combining review. Been here twice. This is for the cafe menu only. Wilde's open their cafe menu for Thursdays, Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays only from 8:00am - 1:00pm. SCONE with clotted cream and satsuma marmalade This tasted more like a really good biscuit than a scone. Very soft and fluffy inside and crispy on the outside. It was done well and very delicious too! It's quite a big portion and I was full from just eating just that! It seems they make their own clotted cream and marmalade. It tasted homemade. Clotted cream was sweet and creamy. The marmalade had a lovely orangey citrus flavor without it being overly sweet with an orange zest bitterness at the end. Everything was so good! I mean, this is what they are known for, so yes, you must order the scones! Btw, they make limited batches, so if you really want to try them, get there early. When I went both times, I went between 11:10am-11:40am. Both times, either the scones were sold out or sausage rolls were sold out. Luckily both times, I had no problem in getting the scones, but the sausage rolls were gone by then. When I went to order, I wanted to get another scone to go, but they were sold out and were making a new batch and was told it was a 30 minute wait time! SMOKED TROUT TOAST Slightly smokey trout flavor, all chopped up and dressed up in mayo. Black pepper and crushed red pepper on top. Served on top of a sourdough bread and with a side of wedge of lemon, which I squeezed on top. Brought a good lemon acid flavor. Sourdough bread was good, but a bit too hard to bite into. EGG SOLDIERS This was good and I never really tried egg soldiers before. Loved how they served two soft-boiled eggs instead of one. The bread they served it with was extra crispy to dip and eat with the eggs, but it was quite hard and overly crunchy for my liking. Almost felt like I was gonna chip a tooth eating it! However, the bread was good and had an oniony flavor. The soft boiled eggs were nicely done and yolks were runny. They give you a small spoon to scoop up the eggs inside and surprisingly all the eggs were so soft, they scooped up so easily. They offer bacon on the side for extra, but I ordered too much food for one, so I passed on it. SAUSAGE ROLL Never had a sausage roll before. So not sure how authentic this would be to Greggs. The sausage roll was thick and had lots of pork and herbacious flavors and the pastry was flaky. The pastry was slightly oily. Sausage roll was good, but not life-changing good. The house-made ketchup had a sweet, savory, earthiness to the ketchup that was unique and I think that's what made the sausage roll better. I think generally people will enjoy the sausage roll if they ordered it. TEA Ordered regular black tea. All they do is drop a mug of hot water with a tea bag in it. But man, it was pricey for a hot cup of tea! $5.00! Out of everything I tried, I really enjoyed the scones and the egg soldiers. Next time I would order bacon with that. They also have other savory menu items, tea cakes and cookies. Haven't tried them, as I read unfavorable reviews on the tea cakes. ORDER As soon as you walk in, you order at the front counter and pay first before being seated. I don't think they take cash, but take credit card only from what I know. AMBIANCE / SEATS The ambiance had that rustic European cafe vibe and it felt cozy. It was busy and getting packed when I got there and because it's a small restaurant, the seats are limited too. There's about 10 tables, but most of them are tables for 2. The tables are quite close together. There is bar seats, but that was for about 4-5 people and the seats looked crammed and uncomfortable. There is a small area where you walk up the small steps to the coffee bar area. There are two tables there too, but not sure if it's available for all diners. There are two small private unisex bathrooms too in the back, but cutely decorated. It fits their European cafe vibe. CUSTOMER SERVICE They lack good customer service. Service isn't friendly. They simply just do their job. People don't really smile either. The two times I've been here, none of the staff members smiled. It's a bit disorganized too. The person who was at the front register also cleaned the tables and sometimes delivered the food to tables. There are other wait staffs, but they were also the baristas at the coffee bar. So basically everyone chipped in. I tried flagging down the person who was originally working at the front register, cleaning tables later, but she ignored me. So I had to wait for another wait staff to ask for a takeout container. read more

After being told by friends that dinner reservations are near impossible, my partner and I - my partner of which is from England - decided to try breakfast at the location. Parking is free and unmetered right out front (the block perpendicular), and while there was a line of six people immediately at brekkie open, we were able to get inside quick although there was no immediate person to take our order. You have to take the carafe of water with you and while I admit it is a busy establishment, grabbing the attention of servers is nigh impossible while they gab at service windows, with customers, and tend to ignore guests. Anyway. Food prices are fine. They're about what you would expect for the location. Sausage roll is STACKED and STUFFED with filling; Gregg's 1€ this is NOT but the flakiness is found here! The taste is reminiscent as my partner said, with a bit more flavor - unfortunately a tad soggy bottom - but if you're craving the food of the motherland it really hits in a pinch. Egg soldiers were divine, the flaky salt and butter with salt topping were perfect, I have no qualms. Scone was flaky, soft, not burnt on the bottom. Clotted cream was not the consistency you would get with typical British clotted cream. It was definitely that of an American recipe, with it akin more to a whipped cream than clotted. The marmalade was also more homestyle which I did like, as I'm not a fan of marmalade typically. Cappuccinos were decent, it's SO hard to find a good cappuccino in America. The cafe isn't as small as I thought it was given some TikToks I've seen, and even at peak capacity it was still quiet with murmurous chatter. Decor was lowkey, I appreciated the updated LA Times reflecting Pam Bondi being fired. We love up to date publications. read more

I think this place is walk-in only for dinner, if you go to their website it says dinner is currently walk-in. I have not tried their dinner yet, but I very much enjoy coming here for breakfast. Their breakfast items are filling and great. This is also the only place in the neighborhood that knows how to make a proper London Fog hot tea. Happy to have a place nearby to grab this drink and some quick breakfast items. I have had good service from the personnel serving me in the morning. The ambiance is nice, but can get easily busy/packed due to the small space. Overall, I enjoy this place and their menu. read more

I finally (they're often sold out cause they're so popular) got to try the sausage roll today and -- wow -- the flavor is crazy. The flakiness and butteriness of the pastry + the richness and juiciness of the sausage is next level. I am not usually a ketchup fan, but even the house made ketchup really hit. Also, the chef legit remembered that I came in a week ago to get a sausage roll when they were sold out. So, he asked them to send me home with a free cookie. That's such thoughtful service. I am so happy to have good folks making good food in the neighborhood. Btw, it's cute asf inside this place. I can't wait to come back and I am definitely going to recommend this spot to friends and family. Congrats, Wilde's! :) read more

Their tea cakes are to die for. We went there for a breakfast and wanted to try their scones but they ran out of scones so we got tea cakes instead. Absolutely love them.

As a British chick who lives in the neighborhood, I was super excited for this place to open. Sadly, my expectations were not met. When we walked in the door, a woman approached us. I smiled warmly and said, "Hi, Rebecca party of two." She looked at me aghast and said, "I don't work here!" We were off to a poor start. The actual maitre d'/second waiter was friendly enough, but there was nowhere for him to put his iPad. The space is so small. (Former location of Thai on Hillhurst for those who remember.) They really need check-in counter. Just something to make you feel like you've arrived. Rather than awkwardly standing in a crowded space. Accosting strangers! The food was hit or miss. Some real highs, some real lows. We started with the rockfish carpaccio, which was delightful, but didn't feel British at all, very Italian flavor profiles. Also it lacked textural contrast. It had a little finely julienned fennel but it wasn't enough given the fish was (over generously) doused in olive oil. It could use some fresh herbs, or capers, for pops of flavor. Plus, it didn't feel English. Perhaps some cockles or some Scottish mussels would have tied it together better. I also asked our waitress if we should order the bread and butter, and she said no. I disagree. I think that dish could have used a nori cracker, some thinly sliced apple, something to give it a bit of body and crunch. But flavor on point 4/5 Next we had the Coppa Di Testa - again very Italian - England is renowned for it's meat work, head cheese, pate's etc and this was just very average deli meat. It was cut wafer thin, I don't come to a restaurants to eat first communion, sadly the body of pig did not enter my spirit. It came with a slimy melted butter which had no flavor and added a nasty fatty mouthfeel to an already fatty cut of pork. On top of that, the toast they served it with was utterly stale and burned. It's a massive pet peeve of mine when I eat toast that scratches the roof of my mouth. 1/5 Of course we ordered the classic fish with mint, which was incredible. I highly commend them for getting a massive piece of fish perfectly cooked in the middle with a thick but light and airy batter. This was a work of art. Also, the mint sauce it came with was drinkable. That being said, there was a mysterious pile of mint leaves on my plate. Not a a dressed mint salad but not a garnish either. It seemed like someone in the kitchen had scraped down a cutting board and accidentally pushed the leftover mint onto my plate. 5/5 for fish and sauce work. I also did not care for the malt vinegar fries. They were thick-cut and not particularly crispy. That being said, my partner loved them, so I think French Fries diameter is the personal choice, and size really does matter. A point for the kitchen though, their sauce work is amazing. The garlic-y, mustard-y aioli that the French fries came with was excellent. I could have had two more buckets of it. For sauce alone 5/5 We ended the night with the bangers and mash. "Bangers" is a bit of a stretch as they only give you one. Sausage itself was made in-house, and I think they did an excellent job. Well seasoned, beautiful texture. Nicely cooked. But it sat on top of a gummy, over whipped, under seasoned pile of spuds. Again, pretty unappetizing. An insipid gravy didn't do it any favors. Felt like an Oxo cube in some hot water. But again, the sauciere to the rescue. An incredible sort of apple jam mustard relish chutney delight. Plonked right on top. Again, three more buckets of this, please, Chef. 5/5 for sauce and sausage 1/5 for potatoes and gravy. I was disappointed by the decor. It felt like hipster chic meets grandma's attic, and not in a good way. I'm British. I love a homey British pub feeling. I also live in Silver Lake, so I understand minimalism and modern refinement. But I don't like an uninviting space with no artwork. The dominating feature is wooden wainscoting and completely random assortment of vintage mirrors and mismatched lighting. Especially the one ceiling lamp with the wicker shade just felt so late 70s try-hard and utterly out of place. Plus provided no light! But the greatest crime of all was how bloody loud it was. My partner and I, sitting at an intimate two-top, could barely hear each other. There was clearly no soundproofing in the whole space, and the bare walls did nothing to help this. Creating an environment of cacophonous hipster gibberish at an 11. I suggest they get some artwork in there to liven it up a bit, and possibly put some sound-baffling material behind said artwork to try and help with this problem. It really made the whole experience untenable. Service was subpar - our blond waitress was friendly until she found out we weren't ordering drinks - then we never saw her again. I wouldn't rush back sadly without a menu overhaul. I was hoping for elevated British comfort food not minimalist twee Italian offerings. read more

- Locale Destination - It's on Hilllhurst Ave and Russel Ave in Los Feliz. Restaurants around here all look alike but it's easy to spot. Ambiance: casual but nice bistro like atmosphere, dim, simple, loud but ok Service: this is the biggest issue for me. (I usually don't care about service, though I'm a restaurant consultant - so long as I get fed tasty food in a timely manner). 1) they don't take reservations?!: First come, first serve?! You need to come and put down your names and wait 30 min-2 hrs. They even said putting down the names wouldn't even guarantee me to get served. I understand they just opened and had full of customers already non stop. For the $$$ price point, I think it's problematic for both customers and the restaurant in the long run. Food is so tasty, so I want you to succeed. 2) service level is sadly quite low, especially for the $$$ price point. I did mind the rough service (one of them ran into me, hit my foot yet no apology, tried to serve me the plate right in front of my face, about $100 wine bottle wasn't opened in front of us (though we start seeing it more lately), food delivery was too slow (long wait) cuz they didn't seem to check tables enough etc.). Food quality was so high but even I expect the bottom line basic. Most people do care about service unlike me, so you should improve it. Actually one of the kitchen staff helped the floor - she was very nice. Menu: tapas like small dishes. Fusions from British, Mexican to French dishes with their own unique takes. Quite fun. Wine menu is like that. Price: We ordered many dishes and a bottle wine. +$150 each. Taste and cooking levels are quite high! Parking: street - Gluttony Expedition - Grilled cheese: Bomb. The melting cheese got a meaty yet great flavor! Bread wasn't too soft and crispy - excellent dish! Deep Fried pork dish: pork was seasoned very well, rich but flavorful. The lemon and the sauce cut the heaviness and enhanced the overall quality. Batter was so crispy. Surprisingly great dish! chicharron & jicama salad: meaty chicharron and light jicama go well together. Dressing was light, unique and refreshing. Great. Steelhead carpaccio: good flavors, but a bit too much oil for me. Compared to other dishes, this was a bit weak for me. Chips: one of the best French fries I've ever had (from the fresh potato), though I'm so finicky on French fries. So impressive. Size was perfect, not too skinny and wide. Outside was crispy yet moist inside. That's hard to do it with fresh potato. That's why i generally prefer frozen potatoes to fresh ones. Flavors and texture were unreal. It really showed how high the kitchen level was. You must try it. Fried fish: don't be fooled by typical impression of fish & chips. Fish was meaty, cooked and seasoned perfectly. Batter was so light and crispy but not greasy. I'm not a fan of peppermints, but the fresh mints enhanced the sauce. Simple yet so sophisticated dish. Bravo! Duck: I'm a big fan of duck, so quite tough on this. Duck was cooked well and tender, but I prefer slightly more pink. It was so rich as if I ate with foie gras. Some people might think it was too gamey. It looked French style, yet the sauce was a lot lighter with a touch of vinegar than the one at French bistro. Their own twist to surprise us. For duck, I slightly prefer at Pasjoli in Santa Monica. I'd try other dishes next time. Taffy dessert: texture was quite unique, crumpled but moist at the same time. Flavor was nice but a bit too sweet for me. Espresso: this was too acidic for me. I've tested hundreds of coffee shops, so do understand coffee. Espresso you get in Italy and France were more solid and smooth than this. They use expensive Italian coffee machine, but you should avoid it. - Conqueror's Deduction - I go to restaurants for tasty food, not for service, not for ambience. Service needs improvement, but the food was very creative, unique, fun and solid. The cooking level was very high. You can get this level in San Francisco, but not so much in LA easily. Quite impressive food quality - food only is 4.5 stars! I just don't want to wait that long for food. Definitely I'll go back for the great food! read more

While in Los Feliz, folks recommended Wilde's to us ans we are SO glad they did! What an amazing little spot. We arrived in time for kind of brunch and ordered a number of items, including the Bacon But (bacon sandwich on housemade onion roll), a couple quiches, and a few scones. Every item was just plain delectable. Honestly, one of the best scones I have ever had. The decor is not fancy,but its comfortable and there are plenty of tables. The staff was very friendly and we got a quick visit from one of the talented pastry chefs! This place is fantastic! read more

I've been to this spot for dinner and breakfast, and I have to say, Wildes has quickly become one of my favorite spots in LA. Breakfast and dinner are very different but both special in their own way. In the morning I love popping in for a coffee or treat (I love the tea cake!) or if I have the time sitting down for the yogurt and granola (have also had the famed sausage roll and it lives up to the hype!). The place gets amazing light in the morning and feels like a real neighborhood gathering spot. Dinner is my favorite though. The space is so cozy and candle lit. I love that servers really take the time to chat through your questions and don't rush you through the meal like a lot of restaurants do. I've also had the owner herself come over to answer my questions about some of the wine! I have been 3x now and the menu changes from time to time but the fish starters always blow my mind, last time we had cured trout with horseradish and it was amazing. My favs have been the crackling salad, the smoked beets (YUM), and the pork loin. And for me, no Wildes meal is complete without the greens and salt/vinegar chips (I think about these chips daily). The small touches are really what make this place such a great night out. The sweet and knowledgeable service, the flowers by the door, cheeky art and incredible smelling candles in the bathroom. All these small things really elevate the incredible dining experience and neighborhood feel of Wilde's. 10/10! read more

Dinner adds up really quick. We were glad to try it once, but once is enough. The staff sets an unwelcoming tone. Just classic LA pretentiousness. When you're paying $300+ for dinner for two, we expected a little more hospitality. Creativity of food didn't make up for the deficit for us. Side note - I asked to take my leftover fish and chips to go, and then they accidentally threw out it out instead of boxing it up in the kitchen. No apology offered. read more

The type of restaurant LA has been missing... worth the wait!! Not only is it cozy in a visual sense, but energetically too. It really feels like the staff is a tight-knit family, and that warmth is palpable. So much care goes into handmaking the Guinness bread, the bangers, the pastries... it's intentional and detail-oriented from start to finish. The dishes are filling without being overly heavy, and the menu is incredibly well balanced with great variety. I wish I could come here more often. The pot pie and bread pudding are fabulous! I'm already excited to come back and try their breakfast read more

It really went south from the start. Walked in at 6:15pm and knew it would be a wait and agreed to the 90 min quoted wait time but it kept getting pushed and pushed. Fast forward to 9pm and we're finally seated. It's a nice space but that's all that's worth writing home about. Service was fine. The celeriac salad was decent but nothing extraordinary. We tried to get the meat pie but it was sold out. It's a small menu so it's frustrating that one of the limited number of entrees is gone. We also wanted it because we weren't going to come back after having to wait that long so thought we might as well try their priciest item. Instead, we had the battered skate ($36) and "chips" (potato wedges ($12). It was a basically fish and chips for $48 and also wasn't very impressive. The fact that this has an 8.6 on The Infatuation is wilde. read more

It's no surprise a place like this is thriving in Los Feliz. This is a neighborhood full of 20-somethings and 30-somethings who spend all day drinking coffee and walking their dogs. Wilde's is a cozy little spot on a corner of busy Hillhurst Avenue. I've only been here for brunch and it was a very solid meal. The egg soldiers with onion bread hit the spot. The smoked trout toast was creamy, smooth, fresh. Grab a table if you're lucky, or sit at the bar and gaze out the window, people-watching, and daydreaming. read more

I've only had the pleasure of enjoying their breakfast/bakery items because the dinner reservations are so hard to get, but almost everything I've tried here is a 10/10. Also this place smells amazing every time I walk in?? Like a sage candle. Whatever it is I want it. French toast with custard (weekend special) is fantastic - not overly sweet, the bread was a mix of soft and crunchy textures. Very indulgent and worth splitting with someone. I hope this dish sticks around Seasonal quiche - tried a butternut squash & sage version, the inside was so soft and pillowy, one of the best quiches I've had in LA Sausage roll - easily one of the best items on their menu. The sausage is THICK so every bite has both pastry and meat. Also the "ketchup" that comes with it is so delightful I could bathe in it Bacon sandwich - seems simple but it tastes divine & they don't skimp on the bacon. Very filling! Seasonal sandwich - tried the chicken curry with pickled cabbage and it is perfect NO NOTES, I beg them to keep this around! GF tea cake - tried the earl grey flavor and was disappointed. It was dry (possibly due to the GF ingredients) and I could barely taste the earl grey. This is the only thing I haven't loved at Wilde's. Cant wait to try more! read more

We dragged our feet on going to this place even though it's walking distance from our house. After going on Saturday night and having an incredible experience - in spite of being devastated by the news that they had already sold out of meat pies. It was so great, we quickly went back on Wednesday, arriving promptly at 5:30pm to find the place already bustling with patrons, just to ensure that we fulfilled our meat pie box-checking. Both visits were truly exceptional. Alex the host is gracious and helpful and you won't find a better server than Christian - coaching us what to try and how to course it. The bluefin starter is a can't miss. The Chicories, dates & brown butter versus Celeriac & Crackling salads are a toss up. And the meat pie did not disappoint - but shareable for 2-3 folks. Don't sleep on that Stuffed Chicken with one of those "I make chicken all the time at home" thoughts. We had it round one and may like it more that the Meat Pie. The Sticky toffee pudding is a stellar exit plan. We're adding Wilde to our short list rotation. Great addition for Los Feliz. read more

From start to finish the experience at Wilde's was delightful. We were left in audible awe. The sticky toffee pudding was the cherry on top, something out of this world. read more

Had been a few times for their brunch, which I really love. The acclaimed sausage roll is worth the hype and also enjoy their salad with chicories and the scone. Finally made it for dinner this week and was pretty let down. To start, our waiter seemed somewhat hostile from the jump when inquiring about the (very limited selection of) wines by the glass. He also said he would guide us through our order to make sure we got the right amount of food, but all this amounted to was a thumbs up "you're good." It got me thinking, "Did I accidentally run over this guy's dog on the way here?" Like, why does he hate me? When dishes finally arrived, I found the quality to be inconsistent. The Welsh rarebit sang, this was truly delicious. Also very much enjoyed the dressed crab. Others were a little underwhelming, like the overly crisp chips and the truly horrendous sticky toffee pudding, which my dining partner likened to an Erewhon paleo loaf that had been popped in the microwave. The menu itself was also too small. Three mains? One dessert option? The coup de grace was that I woke up at 5AM feeling nauseated and actually had to throw up. Can't prove it was from the food at Wilde's (my dining partner felt fine), but it's the kind of thing that scares you off of a place for a while. Despite all this I find myself quite torn between three and four stars because I do really like that brunch. But going with three because of recency bias. read more

Terrible service (if you like a blank face stare and MIA attitude) totally dialed in, probably due to the fact that the owner is also dialed in (comes from the top). Would it hurt to smile? Food is overly salty, portions are small and everything is so expensive. Also, frankly, it's not good. I found something unsavory in my mackerel and when i called the waiter over to show him, he tried snatching the plate away before i could snap a photo. I'm not going to post that photo... to yucky. They treated me pretty badly trying to explain the problem away and deny what my whole table saw. They seemed annoyed when i said the replacement dish was salty, and not kidding, the waitress, did an eye roll. I dine out a lot. I have to say this is the rudest establishment I've been to lately. Let's talk decor-would it hurt to put up some art and to cover up the side of the massive stainless steel cooler we were sat next to? I mean, if it is a British grandma vibe, the kitsch factor is def missing. The walls are so bare! Also it was so loud, we couldn't have a conversation. So Art would help. I would go up the street to Casa Leo, so much better food and an amazingly attentive wait staff with yummy food. They make you want to spend your money, unlike Wildes. read more

(@winnieadamsonfoodratings on tiktok) First of all the vibes inside are adorable. I love the seating, the lighting, and the furniture. I went for brunch around 10:30 and there was a short line and a 10 minute wait, but they let us order our drinks and pastries while we waited to be seated, and the coffee was so high quality; one of the better lattes I've had in LA. Highlights for us were the scone(so crispy on the outside and soft on the inside), the latte with oat milk, and the bacon sandwich(the bread this comes on is UNREAL). The prices are super reasonable for a Los Angeles brunch spot and the service is so quick and everyone was very friendly. I want to come back to try the sausage roll and the yogurt bowl; the whole menu sounded perfect. read more

Took my girl here for Valentine's Day. Hit the tuna crudo. Ate the stilton and pickles. Got the fried skate and chips w/ malt vinegar. A lil chicory salad, no problem. A chilled red selected for us by our server, Christian, perfect. Candlelit, w/ a rose on the table in honor of St. Valentine, a nice touch. The food was delightful, bright, not too heavy but filling and not leaving you hungry like some LA restaurants do. My girlfriend said the skate was the best fried fish she'd ever had. Finished with the sticky toffee pudding and an espresso each. When the check came, my girlfriend looked at it and said "that's not bad," but I didn't see her reach for her card. (It wasn't that bad) Thank God for Wilde's. read more

I visited this restaurant yesterday, April 19 between 9:30-10:00 AM and unfortunately had a very disappointing interaction with a staff member that impacted the entire dining experience. A female server wearing a green uniform and hat came to our table while we had food on our plates and asked if she could clear our table. I politely let her know we were still eating. She responded with an "interesting" under her breath in a tone that came across as dismissive and rude. After that interaction, her demeanor toward us felt noticeably cold and unprofessional, including the way she looked at our table. It made us feel unwelcome for the remainder of our visit. The food itself may have been fine, but the service completely overshadowed it. Basic guest respect and professionalism were lacking, and it genuinely took away from what should have been an enjoyable meal. I hope this feedback helps improve guest experience going forward, as this level of service is not what I would expect. read more

Knowing this is a popular joint and that it opens at 5:30, we were timely and had our names in at 5:36. We were seated at 8:50 though and had time for a few stops in between. We started at casa Leo. Highly recommend the manchengo and the crudo. The orange wine was as good as the ones they offer at lolo. At little doms we just had an Americano cocktail and a Lambrusco (no photo taken) At all time we had the table salad (sounds basic but v satisfying) the cowboy beans (delicious, high in protein), and the Japanese potatoes. Finally at wildes 3 hours and 14 minutes later, we started with the champagne of beers then ordered the crumbed rilette, battered skate & mint, duck breast, toffee pudding, an espresso and a cup of tea. The skate and mint was worth waiting for. They were out of half the menu but they assured us it had something to do with the night before a holiday. The space is cozy. The staff is kind. read more

Wilde's is great! A fun, wine-bar-cool twist on classic British menu items. The food is great - we had the pork rilette, crudo, carrots, skate (the standout), chips, banger & mash, and then both the toffee cake and the steamed sponge. All excellent! I've seen some comments complaining about the "mash" being odd or grainy - I think it's polenta, not mashed potatoes! We loved it, especially the next day for lunch because we couldn't finish it all! It's a little loud and crowded, which made it a little hard to get to know the servers during service, but still perfectly enjoyable! Can't wait to come back and try the meat pie. read more

A wonderful addition to the neighborhood! Cozy, charming, friendly, and good. Minimalist, elegant interior with a soft sun pouring through the window. A perfect little unplugged moment. Will I go back? Oui. Bravo read more

Been wanting to try this spot for a while. Walked in on a Saturday at 5:30p and got lucky with a counter seating. The food is very good and memorable. The battered fish may be one of the best I've ever had. Unfortunately, I felt like the host (who was also our waiter) was cold and unwelcoming. It felt like he could care less about us having a nice dining experience. I thought it was a shame, given how cozy and delicious this place is. The other waiters working other tables ( who we ended up ordering more from) were very kind and attentive. read more

Brunch was ok. coffee is good. Pastries good. the rest, take it or leave it - tries a little too hard,

Check out Lee K's review below - I had the same experience! Let's just say the greasy Sausage Roll made me Runs Home. It's too bad because the ambiance is great and I would love to have stayed for a few hours. But my Tummy couldn't Take it. read more

Wilde's is a true gem. From morning to night, the care and intentionality that goes into every detail shines through. There isn't a single miss on the menu. Local ingredients brought to the plate with a whole lot of love. Morning highlights: Breakfast bap (astounding), porridge (perfect) Dinner highlights: Crackling salad, Meat pie (rotating, always a hit), battered fish, and STP. Wine for every palate, preference, and budget. Lovely service. Warm ambiance. Lucky to have such a killer spot in the neighborhood. read more
