Wildflower felt like discovering a secret garden in the middle of Chelsea. Located just below the High Line, this restaurant is covered in flowers and greenery, creating one of the prettiest dining spaces I've visited in the city. While there is outdoor seating along the front, the real gem is the beautiful courtyard tucked away in the back. It feels surprisingly peaceful considering you're right in Manhattan. The food was excellent from start to finish, but the bread deserves special recognition. My humans couldn't stop talking about it. There isn't a dog menu, but I was fortunate enough to receive a few bites from Mom's Eggs Benedict, which I can personally confirm were delicious. If you're looking for a beautiful brunch or lunch spot near the High Line with great food, a relaxing atmosphere, and one of the most charming courtyards in the neighborhood, Wildflower is well worth a visit. Dogba's verdict: Beautiful courtyard, incredible bread, excellent people-watching, and bonus points for supporting Chelsea FC. read more

My wife and I met my daughter at Wildflower for a great brunch this weekend! This is a beautiful restaurant in Chelsea right next to the Highline. When you walk in, there's a room with tables on the right, we sat at a high top by the bar on the left. We started off with cocktails and spilt a Spinach Dip appetizer. For entrees, my wife and daughter had the Avocado Toast, I had the Stuffed French Toast. The French Toast was one of the best I've had! Caramelized Bananas Foster with a chocolate drizzle and whipped cream on top. Just decadent! This is a great spot for a good meal or even just a drink, the bar is very nice! read more

My friend and I wanted a simple brunch with some nice ambiance to catch up. And that's exactly what we got. The insides were well decorated. Depending on where you were sitting the decor was different. It really was a cute spot for brunch or a date. Not sure if we didn't get the right items. Unfortunately, nothing on the menu really stuck out to us and we only ordered 2 items. We ordered: STUFFED FRENCH TOAST - Milk chocolate ganache, caramelized bananas fosters, vanilla whipped cream ITALIAN CHOPPED BRUSSELS SPROUT SALAD - Salami, pecorino fresco, crispy chickpeas, red peppers, tomatoes, pickled onions, Italian dressing (first time seeing / having a brussel sprout salad. I realized I prefer my brussel sprouts cooked ) Maybe we should have gone there for drinks instead. read more

Beautiful ambiance cocktail bar in a quiet area. The cocktails were delicious. Absolutely loved the genius genus cocktail. Super fruity and too not too sweet. Also the egg white wasn't too heavy which I really liked since I'm not always a fan of egg white drinks. The seasonal coconut drink wasn't quite what I expected but you could actually taste the coconut wash which was absolutely delicious. Service was good as well. read more

Elegant and peaceful vibe, upbeat staff, delicious food, and well made cocktails. This was a spontaneous date me and my husband decided to do while having a day in the city. We were originally just going for a few drinks but couldn't resist trying the burgers. My husband had the Madam Burger, which was delicious. I had the Wildflower burger and I loved it. I'm not typically a burger person but it was pretty good! I had a classic mule to drink, and it was pretty good but they poured a little strong. I don't mind that though! I also had a Hugo Spritz, which was AMAZING. I had never tried one before and now I will definitely be adding that to my own personal cocktail list at home. It was light, refreshing, and I was feeling pretty bubbly when I reached the bottom of my glass. I was considering another one, but I had to make it back home and decided against it haha. It's worth checking it out! read more

I had my bridal shower here and it was the absolute perfect venue!!! I couldn't be happier! First, planning the event was such a breeze and pleasure - Annie & Kevin helped me out via email and they were so accommodating, helpful and eager to help me make my day special. They helped me move the menu structure around, even allowed me to have a cocktail making portion of the day which was soooo fun and something they said they've never done before but it was such a great experience. The day itself, all those who were catering to us were so kind and helpful - I believe the manager that took care of us was Anthony? Can't remember his name but he was super attentive and kind. They let me set up my own dessert bar I prepared separately, they let me bring my own cake and didn't charge a cutting fee, they were just so easy and reasonable to work with. I know a lot of venues in NYC charge for breathing nowadays so it was so fortunate I found this spot! The food was absolutely incredible. Everything was shared family style and I couldn't get enough! All my guests packed the leftover to take home - that's how good it was! The drinks were bottomless and the Wildflower team made sure they kept flowing! The ambience was exactly what I was going for, cozy, chic, colorful and fun! We reserved the garden room and it was perfect for 14 of us! I really couldn't have had a better time, and all my guest say the same!!! Thank you so much Wildflower team for making my day so special and perfect! read more

The tuna on crispy rice is spectacular! Great service. Fun atmosphere. A great spicy marg. Loved!!

I would consider this place a full restaurant, not JUST a cocktail bar. They do have an amazing selection of cocktails and wines, but the food is equally impressive. I know it's not technically pizza but the burrata flatbread is the best pizza I've had in this city. The crust texture was so light and doughy but crisp on the outside. I could eat it every day. Not to mention the STUFFED?? Garlic knots???? Amazing! I also loved the interior design choices. Great paint colors and floral design in the back room. Plus the bar area was chic and inviting! read more

Great bartenders. They know how to serve with perfectly prepared cocktails and courtesy. They make you want to come in and hang out Food is great as well even though menu is minimal. That's ok. Nicely decorated inside and out. I totally recommend this place over and over again read more

My friends and I enjoyed an amazing dinner at Wildflower. Beautiful ambience, delicious food, and excellent service. We started with the whipped feta, the French dip spring rolls, and the crispy Brussels sprouts. For the main course, three of us split the chicken parm pizza, which comes with a side of spaghetti Pomodoro. A must-order to share. Everything was absolutely delicious. Add this to your girl-dinner list! read more

I was about to say this was a 5 star experience but the one bathroom had no soap and I had to refill the toilet paper on my own. Which is fine but not 5 stars! The service was phenomenal. Truly we were so well taken care of. The drinks were delicious. The calamari was gorgeous. This is what I want every time I go somewhere and order calamari. The oysters also superb. My friend ordered wings and told the waiter to surprise her... he brought out half and half! Happy hour menu is amazing and they still honored our happy our pricing right at the buzzer of it. Intimate and chic restaurant. A great spot for a first date, to celebrate or to grab drinks with the girls. We really enjoyed our time so much that on our walk home that's all we talked about. I'll also be thinking of their calamari for a while read more

My party came in around 11 pm for a late night bite with drinks. Immediately at the door we are met by a very unenthusiastic waiter with an accent who carded me and went "wow" as he realized my age on my ID was much older than he thought I looked. Rude but ok whatever. The waiter proceeded to be rude and cold the entire night, looking impatient and like he wanted to go home. The food and drinks were fantastic though-- which saves this review-- the Lip Smacked cocktail was sweet and gingery, and the Wildflower burger + spinach artichoke were delicious. I hope to come at brunch and try what they have. After eating, while paying, as the tip option appeared, the waiter literally held the machine and stared at me the entire time. Uncomfortable I just hit the default 20% and regrettably wish I tipped less because wtf was that rude af service. I'm usually pretty happy to tip servers but this overtipping event haunts me still. read more

it was okay. For NYC it didn't quite hit. The space and vibes are nice, and the service was good. But the food was meh. We ordered so many things as we had a large group (they were very kind to take a bigger group) and everything was just okay sadly. I wanted to really like it. read more

I will say the vibes are immaculate. The dining room and the garden have a great ambiance. Even the bar is nice, with carefully designed chairs and a great wooden bar. We came at a weird time--4ish on a Sunday. The help was nonexistent. We sat in the dining room, where we didn't get served, so we moved to a high top at the bar. Service was just so slow, but it was not a packed place. The cocktail list is extensive. We ordered the two different burgers, which were delicious. The fries were okay. The Caesar salad was yummy but overly dressed. We also loved the fried pickles--the gherkins really made them crispy and tasty. I remember this location being a couple of different places over the years. You can't beat the location right under the highline. I hope they can figure out how to work on service just a bit - everything else is 5 stars. read more

Excessively loud and mediocre food but good cocktails. Skip it. We had the calamari and shrimp app. Seasoned well but just a tad overcooked. Nothing special. We had salads, the Cesar and the Italian brussel sprout salad. The Cesar was fine, basically bag salad quality and taste and the Italian brussel salad had potential. It was flavorful but too acidic. It needed a tad of sugar to balance the acid. I couldn't finish it because of the acidity. The place is unnecessary loud, stupidly loud. You cannot hear your dining partner due to everyone yelling. They need sound absorption panels on the wall to help. Cute patio though. We would have ate on the patio had it not been windy. Our bartender was friendly but our server was indifferent. If you're looking for a place with good cocktails and cute patio then this is your place. Otherwise skip it. read more

Very relaxed space, terrific drink, chill vibe, friendly service. Stopped in for some World Cup and compari. Would've tried the food but had an invite. Would come back again. read more

First impression, they probably don't care for customers' comfort much? It was a pretty hot and humid day, the AC was on pretty low. Let's just say we didn't really cool off inside. I had higher expectations than I should've had for this place. The vibes and decor was great. Waitress was attentive but not overly annoying. Drinks were good. Unfortunately the food was just mediocre. Wings were too dry. The burrata flatbread was decent but saw a little too much oil for my liking (everyone devoured it quickly though). The fish for the sandwich definitely did not taste wild caught, it was overcooked and had a slight ammonia aftertaste that farmed fish have. At least the fries that came with it were good. read more

Grabber a late night dinner and drinks here. Overall - there were good vibes and a friendly bartender. They are definitely more known for their cocktails than good though. The cocktail I had (paper plane) was delicious and well balanced. I had the brick chicken and it was good though a little over done. My husband had the steak which was also slightly over cooked. The appetizers looked those though so I would prob come back for apps and drinks. read more

Wild Flower is one of the cutest cocktail bars near the High Line--think floral everything, dreamy vibes, and a secret garden feel From the prettiest decor to mouthwatering bites (that NY strip steak is so tender and the burger is seriously stacked), this spot is perfect for catching up over cocktails and good eats. Tuesdays just got better with their brand new Taco Tuesday Fiesta: 2 tacos, chips + guac, and a margarita for just $25. A real deal you don't want to pass up! Happy Hour runs Mon-Fri with food specials from 4-6pm and drinks from 4-7pm. Service is amazing, vibes are lush, and everything's a hit. read more

We've been coming here after our weekly pickleball at Chelsea Piers and it's always a great experience. They have great cocktail and wine options, good happy hour (though we usually miss it) and the food options are delicious. The highlight is how accommodating the staff always is for our large group. My favorite dish is definitely the Burrata Flatbread. Only downside is they do switch up their menu seasonally so don't get too hooked on a seasonal item you might lose (RIP Kale salad) read more

Perfect relaxed brunch place Delish food. But Tables a little too close together I was constantly rubbing back with table behind me !! read more

Delicious cocktails in a neat little nook by the High Line. Came here pretty late and it was not too full, so service was quite attentive and friendly. The back patio looks very nice, unfortunately there wasn't enough seating there for our group. Prices are a little on the high side, including tip and tax you're looking at like $25 a cocktail which is a bit steep (although sadly more and more common in NYC). read more

I had such a great experience on my first visit to Wildflower. Drinks were yummy, bartenders were personable, and food was really good. I'm looking forward to going back. I went in during their happy hour for the oysters & a drink, and ended up ordering so much more. Here's what I had: - oysters (fresh & delicious even though the ice melted entirely too fast) - the Hugo spritz (a little sweet, but I'm sensitive to that kind of thing) - the Preserving Memories cocktail (delish, not too sweet & refreshing) - Feel the Breeze cocktail (very tropical and delicious; loved it) - the Wildflower burger & fries (one of the best burgers I had in years) read more

We made a reservation for 12 people at 7 PM but when we arrived at the location, we were informed that our table was not ready yet. It would be ready in about 15 minutes then at quarter after seven he tried to see us outside on the coldest day of the year, it was 17° outside. We told him no so he said it would be another 15 minutes. We were finally sat at 7:35 but the service after that was excellent and they comped a bunch of drinks and apps for us. Our waiter was so sweet and really helpful and so funny. The service once we sat down was great, and so was the food. The restaurant was beautiful. It's a shame we had to wait 35 minutes to be sat, but they did really make it up to us. read more

I don't like any part of leaving this review, except that I hope it will help reverse what feels like a trend toward mediocrity. Here are my thoughts, complaints, and suggestions, as well as observations on my experience today: I have loved this place from Day One. I've now dined here for HH and dinner on many occasions Food is usually well above par. Service has been exceptional and so friendly. Atmosphere is great. Relaxed and welcoming as a local place for me to unwind during HH after a long week. Today was different. I ordered two appetizers and beer. I'm alone so I anticipated (based on experience, I've never had both appetizers come out together when dining alone, so maybe it was a different assumption by waitstaff) that each appetizer would arrive separately so each is consumed hot and fresh. Both came at the same time. I sent back the spring rolls until I finished my wings. Staff didn't balk, which was nice. When I received the spring rolls, I must've gotten the original order held somewhere in the kitchen because they were cold and rubbery - as mentioned, the whole point of asking for them to come later is to have a hot and fresh appetizer. I'm sure I'm not the only table who ordered spring rolls; the order was untouched and therefore eligible to be served to another table. I was really surprised they returned cold food. Really shouldn't serve cold food no matter what the situation. They're not good cold, neither is the dipping sauce. It is extremely disappointing to spend so much money on something that is so below subpar. Spring rolls and chicken wings used to be on the HH menu; due to high popularity they removed them and subsequently began jacking up the price. Service is otherwise at turns rushed but polite to nonexistent and likely not due to any attitude or bruskness of the waitstaff- it's very busy and there is an inadequate number of staff available to serve. I get that it might be challenging to hire additional staff for many reasons, but making note that it isn't fair to waitstaff not to have more assistance. Not thrilled with the higher prices for the same food simply because it's so popular especially since it was cold. I'm not a picky diner. But I do expect better quality and hot food. I didn't express a complaint to anyone because the waitstaff are doing their best. But this was a major disconnect that needs attention. And if possible, please reconsider he HH menu and at the very least put the wings and spring rolls back. I know it's a slim margin for profit at any restaurant. I truly appreciate the efforts and pains that go into making a place successful. Many areas of operation are still excellent. But please don't slide. I love having this place be available. It's absolutely lovely in many respects. Thanks. read more

The hostess on Friday afternoon - April 3- had an attitude from the get go! Definitely not a welcoming atmosphere. Things got worse when we asked to possibly switch tables because the main dining room was stuffy and no air was circulating. Food was OK! read more

Hostess was lovely. Waitress was rude in the beginning after we waited 15 minutes to be greeted. After we ordered a ton of food she was then nice. The place is very nice I love the decor and the food was really good. However, I made notes on the reservation it was a birthday and told the hostess privately to send chocolate cake with candle. The runner dropped the cake with no candle as we watched the ice cream fall to the side. For the third time I asked for a candle. It never came. The waitress never touched the table and attended a larger party for a birthday. We had to ask a busser for check because waitress was no where to be found. She never apologized. Really disappointed. read more

Wildflower is a new restaurant below the Highline and it is showing a bit of promise. Food and cocktails are very good. Given seating outside in the front, in the garden room out back, in the bar area and in the dining room, the place is quiet so no vibe. The wines by the glass are cheap generic wine and there is no bottle options. Given the area and clientele they need to work on their wine service. read more
