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.

Sami is our favorite and Eduardo was fantastic with him. We only come here because of them. They make this experience the best ever for us. It was my 16th wedding anniversary and bday and they made sure we not only got the best table, but that the meat was constantly available. They brought us delicious pineapple, made sure the evening was spectacular. We are definitely going to be coming back all the time!

It’s our favorite place for brunch so when I heard they were offering Apero, it was a no brainer we had to go. We loved the meatballs, oysters, Spanish tortilla, salmon and truffle fries. For dessert we tried crème brulee, the fresh berries and crème and the bignettes. All absolutely delicious, perfect for drinks and bites before a night out, or just for an intimate romantic evening enjoying the weather and live music. The best part of the place is no matter where you sit you have a great view. 10/10
