    Spectacular. Started at bar. Master bartenders. Both drinks. Smoked tequila and a white cosmo. Dinner was equally fantastic. Sea bass was perfect. Will absolutely be back.

    Seated in a more modern room with somewhat close seating. The room would benefit from some sound dampening. Pork chop was outstanding. Expected a more intimate dining setting based on other reviews which may have been in other rooms.

    The Wilbur Mansion is a lovely building inside and out. The ambiance was great with tables spaced far enough apart and I loved the decor. Our drinks, bread and salads were special. The main course came highly recommended by the server. We both got sea bass with forbidden rice-the sea bass was quite salty so I only at about half of the serving. We didn’t say anything to the server at the time as I find this to be very awkward and not always worth it. Dessert was just ok-I could have made something better on my own. The last thing that I did not enjoy was the communal bathroom for men and women. All of the stalls are completely enclosed but you wash up all together. I’m always excited to see the restrooms of such beautifully decorated restaurants, but this was disappointing.

    Hello Ann I wanted to apologize that our seabass and dessert were not up to our expectations. Thank you for the feedback and I will definitely bring this to the chef's attention. I also appreciate your feedback on the bathroom situation and will share this with ownership so that we may consider this feedback on future projects. Michelle General Manager

    Everything was amazing for our first visit to The Wilbur. All 3 of us loved the mussels appetizer and our mains....the scallops, fish tacos and steak sandwich. Very substantial portions, great taste and prices very reasonable. We will definitely be back. The charm of the building is really awesome. The staff were very attentive but not over the top, just right. Seasonal cocktails were very tasty and also not expensive by local standards. Thank you to the entire team!
