    The location looks really nice. We sat with our dog on the covered patio which feels like part of the inside. Overall, the entire restaurant looks really nice. The Service is okay/good, the servers are well informed about food allergies, but sometimes an order goes missing. The food itself looks good for most of the time, but my gluten-free egg Florentine was not worth it, the portion was way too small. The gluten-free avocado toast looked really boring on the plate, the presentation was not good period.

    I recently dined at this restaurant alone and had a wonderful experience. The atmosphere was lovely. I went for the surf and turf, which was very good. Not the absolute best steak I’ve ever had, but definitely above average in quality. Carlos, my server, was incredibly friendly and attentive, which made the experience even better. Overall, the service was excellent, and I had a great time. Highly recommend!

    First time visiting the the Wilson and I was pleasantly amazed at the attentiveness of all the staff down from the host Laile and the manager German. I decided to sit at the at the bar to enjoy a few cocktails and the bartender Luis was amazing at what he does. He made made a drink outside of the menu and I was amazed at his skills. I then decided to get some apps and the margarita flat bread was incredible , I will definitely recommend this place to my friends.

    We choose The Wilson for our dinner meeting because of it's location and vibe. The hostess had reserved us a relatively quiet table in the corner, perfect for our group. We ordered almost all of the appetizers for our group (it was early evening on a weekend) and it worked out perfectly. Service was very attentive, manager checked in to make sure all was OK, all appetizers were enjoyed. Glad we selected The Wilson.

    Had an incredible time catching up with old friends. The ambiance is perfect to have conversations without rude crowds or loud music. It felt like a great escape from the city. The server were attentive the entire night. They were honest about recommendations. My server went above and beyond to ensure my food was safe for allergies. Monica came over a couple times to check on us she was great. The food was satisfying we were already planning on making f this our new monthly girls night spot while still at dinner. My only ask if they labelled food items that are considered gluten free just to simplify the selection process. My dog felt welcome he did not feelmover stimulated. Other guest were great to be around and also accepting of dogs. One of the best dining experience I've ever had. Don't second guess the dessert make sure to order.
