This is the watering hole for bon vivants with a vision.
The venue offers a cool, relaxing, intoxicating space where you can escape with friends and get lost in a moment. It is comprised of three rooms with distinct personality - A cocktail bar, turning out masterfully executed libations, a terrace, for sun-drenched revelry, and a scintillating great room, hosting near-nightly parties for a sophisticated collection of clientele.

The atmosphere at the WILDER is playful, but elevated, intoxicating, but familiar, tropical, enticing, and a place to, well, get WILD, that feels more like a secluded, storybook escape than a bar or lounge. Guests are at ease, and the staff is polished, friendly, and faultless.

    We were seated in a very low seating area that made it difficult to eat the food. We got our appetizers but not one piece of silverware or napkin for at least 15 minutes. Not comfortable at all. So I guess I would prefer a normal table. Ribs were dry and tough would never order that appetizer again, but it was fun to try several different things. Very loud to have a conversation and it almost seemed like the volume got turned up to drive you out as it was not so loud at first. Drinks were decent and happy hour prices made them better! I don't think I would try again though.

    The Happy Hour at the Wilder is a great deal. Make a reservation to make sure you get a spot. We had a group of 8 people for HH. The ambience is really loungy and fun. The service was great. It's a perfect place to gather with friends.

    We love this place. Already big fans for years but decided to take my wife there for a big birthday with a bunch of friends. Great time with excellent drinks, sophisticated ambiance, fun DJ and fire dancer entertainment. The management and wait staff took awesome care of us.

    I celebrated my birthday at The Wilder, and it was absolutely perfect! The ambiance was on point, the music set the right vibe, and the service was top-notch. Our servers went above and beyond, making the night even more special. I couldn’t have asked for a better place to celebrate – highly recommend
