The food isn’t that great. Came here for brunch and the fries were served cold and soggy.
The French onion soup was salty and too sweet, the cheese had no crispy bubbliness on the edges and I'm pretty sure it was mozzarella.
Atmosphere was great and Christmas decorations were awesome. Food on the other hand was not good.

As long-time Chicago residents, we come to Wilde time and time again for the service, great food, and pleasant atmosphere. We almost always have to order the Artichoke dip because it's absolutely delicious. We also enjoy the rotating draft list-this time we had a beer flight that was very enjoyable. There are also seasonable beers, great cocktails, and excellent food. Couldn't recommend enough!

“Had Thanksgiving dinner here and loved everything about it.”
Had Thanksgiving dinner here and loved everything about it. The food was absolutely delicious, the atmosphere was cozy, the energy was merry, it was cold and snowing outside and I can't imagine a more idyllic place to celebrate the holiday away from family and friends. I'll be back on a regular night to try more menu items.

“Wilde Irish Bar is a hidden gem.”
Wilde Irish Bar is a hidden gem! The atmosphere is super chill, and the outdoor seating area is perfect for a relaxing evening out. The food? Spot on! We had some amazing Irish classics, and everything was cooked to perfection. I love that it's a laid-back spot, you know? It's the perfect place to unwind and catch up with friends or family. The service was top-notch too - our server was friendly and attentive without being overbearing. If you're in the mood for some great Irish grub and a relaxed vibe, Wilde Irish Bar is the way to go. Can't wait to come back and try more of their menu!

“Wilde is one of my favorite restaurants since moving to Chicago around 5 years ago.”
Wilde is one of my favorite restaurants since moving to Chicago around 5 years ago. I always get the Meatloaf Dinner. I know some of you are thinking meatloaf, bleh! But this isn’t your average loaf you can make at home. It’s elevated and comes smothered with gravy, fried shallots on top, and a side of mashed potatoes. They have a ton of seating inside, along with high tops along the window. We usually sit outside during the fall and summer, and it’s ride along Broadway so there’s no shortage of good people watching.

“This place is conveniently located across the street from the laugh factory.”
This place is conveniently located across the street from the laugh factory. There is an outside area to eat. The inside has a very nice ambience and not too bright, candlelight and huge tables from the large parties. The drinks were made exceptionally well definitely wasn’t lacking in the liquor department.I ordered the salmon mashed potatoes and brussels sprouts. The brussels sprouts were a little undercooked, but that was a remedied with another side of asparagus that was cooked a little better. All in all I would definitely recommend this place.

I quite literally never leave reviews unless I am stunned by the quality of food service and atmosphere. Wild bar is so cute on the inside and it’s at least top 10 best food I’ve ever eaten. I ordered the ultimate grilled cheese with tomato soup and an apple caramel martini. The service is super quick food came out in less than 10 minutes. highly recommend. order the brussel sprouts
