What a great discovery. Someone we met earlier in the day recommended this place and so we gave it a try. Wow. Small venue with wonderful food filled with flavor and range. This is a place we shall return! The service was great as we were net with smiles and friendly people. You be glad you went.
I'll start by saying the service at The Wilder was pretty subpar. As a customer I didn't feel like my time was respected. I understand that sometimes it comes down to how busy it is but this was definitely not one of those times. I'd recommend hiring another waiter if that's the norm.
Anyway, I decided to go with the Torched Tuna. I went in excited but it really didn't taste like anything. The piece of the dish with the most flavor was the potato. I feel like there are other dishes that are good but for the price this was not anything special.
My boyfriend and I wandered into The Wilder on the early end of dinner on a Saturday in late September. We were warmly greeted, seated and had our drinks (a beer and glass of wine) in hand in minutes. The starter of roasted Brussels sprouts, radishes, and bacon served in an acidic mustard sauce was fantastic. We also shared the 1/2 lb burger of the day, which was a spicy blend of sirloin and prosciutto, topped with a soft creamy cheese and a perfectly balanced raspberry “ketchup.” The fries were well seasoned and crispy and their housemade side sauce was a bit on the smoky side. We ordered one other cocktail and our bill was under $50! What a perfect date night and I recommend getting out of Minneapolis for a truly cozy experience with a lot of bang for your buck.
This place is worth the trip! I love the atmosphere, the food, and the service. Everything, from the burger of the week, to the buffalo cheese curds, to the cocktail menu, are well thought-out, unique, and delicious.
Chef Lundmark is a genius with food. Daily and weekly specials keep it exciting to come back regularly and the menu also changes seasonally
Service and speed were OK. Bison steaks were not steaks but ground meat and super salty. Lavender lemonade is too sour and barely have a hint of lavender in it. Champagne pancakes were delicious but extremely small, kind of like at Michelin taste course restaurants in Europe, actually the smallest I ever seen. Korean wings looked really good but lacked flavour. We asked for separate checks, but were given only one in the end. Had to ask to split it 2 times, because they split it wrong the first time.
Located in the quaint town of Bayport nestled on the St. Criox River. This resturant is fantastic. The food is rotational, so be sure to pay attention on the website or social media. The food is always great. The drinks were very strong. The resturant is small, but the food speaks leaps and bounds and I highly recommend going. I know I will be going back.
What an amazing hidden little gem. Flavourful, creative, savoury, scrumptious ! I just tried their new Carmelized Onion Bacon Dip and it was so delicious! HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!
