    My family and our friends had an amazing time at The Wilson. We had friends from DC who came to NYC for a weekend visit and stayed at InnSide. We visited with the intention of going out into the city but had such a good time getting apps at the bar that we stayed the entire time at The Wilson. Our server, Carlos, was incredible. The food was delicious too! Got the Steak Frites but substituted the fries for the delicious apple mustard brussel sprouts because we had truffle parm fries for apps. I was blown away at how perfectly done my medium rare NY strip was & how well the small drizzling of sauce complimented the beef. My friend got pasta bolognese & let me have a bit. Was tasty! Two in our group ordered burgers & gave them high marks. (Also tried a bite of one of the burgers and it too was mighty tasty.) We stayed for five hours & thoroughly enjoyed our time. We will recommend and will be back!

    We were visiting Central Park on a very cold afternoon in December. We had our dog with us and looked up dog friendly restaurants. We found The Wilson and had a great dining experience. It even snowed while we were eating. Monica was amazing with us and kept making sure that we had everything we needed. She was friendly to our dog as well and the doggie menu was a big plus. The food, drinks and service were great! We will be back soon!

    ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Such a great spot at The Wilson Hotel—one of those places that never disappoints. Amazing cocktails, a full bar, and a solid happy hour menu from 3–6 PM on weekdays 🍹🍴 The staff are incredibly friendly and welcoming, which makes the experience even better. And here’s the cool part: when you walk past the restroom area, you’ll discover a hidden downtown-style private bar and event space 🤫✨—perfect for any occasion, from intimate gatherings to private celebrations. I stop by almost every week, and bartender Luis always makes sure my guests and I have an incredible time. Consistent vibes, great drinks, and top-tier hospitality every single visit. Highly recommend 🙌🍸✨🎉 #TheWilsonHotel #HiddenGem #GreatCocktails #FullBar #HappyHourNYC #NYCBars #PrivateEventSpace #WeeklySpot #FriendlyStaff #Cheers

    From the moment we walked in, the atmosphere was warm, welcoming, and perfectly set the tone for an amazing meal. The staff was friendly, attentive, and genuinely cared about making sure everything was just right without ever being intrusive. The food was was fresh, flavorful, and clearly made with high-quality ingredients. You can tell there’s real pride and skill in the kitchen. Portions were generous, presentation was beautiful, and every bite was better than the last. It’s rare to find a place where everything hits the mark, but this restaurant truly delivers. Drinks were well crafted, prices were fair for the quality, and the overall experience exceeded expectations. This is the kind of place you’ll want to come back to again & again. Highly recommended, and easily one of the best dining experiences we have had in the city. Thank you to our waiter Carlos.

    ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ We had the most wonderful experience at The Wilson in New York City while celebrating my daughter’s birthday, and I truly can’t say enough good things. From the moment we walked in, we were made to feel genuinely welcome by the manager, Carla, and the entire team — the kind of warmth that instantly sets the tone for a special meal. The restaurant was beautifully decorated for Christmas, cozy and festive without being over the top, making it feel like the perfect place to celebrate. The food was phenomenal across the board: the pizza was absolutely delicious, the calamari was perfectly cooked, and the real showstopper was the cookie skillet — hands down one of the best desserts we’ve had. It was the kind of dessert everyone talks about long after the meal is over. The service elevated the experience even more. Our server, Ileana, was outstanding… attentive, kind, and genuinely invested in making the afternoon special for our girls trip. She helped make my daughter feel celebrated, which meant the world to us. If you’re looking for incredible food, festive ambiance, and service that makes you feel like more than just another table, The Wilson is a must-visit. This birthday dinner will be a memory we treasure; thank you for such a perfect afternoon.
