    We reserved and paid for the New Year’s Eve prefix dinner with our six friends the waitress upon serving champagne to us,spilled the glass all over my husband pants and broke several glasses by our table  we asked for broccoli instead of spinach and we’re charged an extra six dollars that should’ve been waived for the soaking pants throughout the dinner. They were supposed to have live entertainment which they did. It started late. It was the loudest weirdest, duo, terrible music terrible. Sound nothing that you would expect on New Year’s Eve. Not a cool vibe at all the restaurant  cleared out quickly. I can say our waitress did give us one good tip to go to libations for live music and dancing, which we did much more fun than the wildest. They played the kind of music you wanna dance to and a much more fun vibe very disappointed it could’ve been a great night how they brought in good entertainment. I don’t know what they were thinking. The music was too loud terrible vocals and choice of songs not fun but we had good company so we made it fun and then we left we didn’t leave a tip. Also, I have to say my girlfriend‘s panty hose got torn because the table had a sharp edge so between the torn pantyhose and the soaking wet pants and a mediocre food the steak was very chewy but what do you expect on New Year’s Eve? I guess food is just mediocre. Will pass next year and go somewhere else

    The restaurant was beautiful. The food not so much. Steak was riddled with cartilage and fat, thus very little edible meat. The entertainment promoted for New Years Eve was live music and seating was in the bar. We expected more of a dinner theater set up from the ads So disappointing.

    It was advertised for music at 8 and no music until 9:30. We arrived at 7:30. The service was very slow and took 45 minutes between each course. Food came out cold.

    Everything was great. Appetizers were very tasty, Ahi tuna tartar was my favorite. Ordered the Filet medium rare and and came out well done. They made me a new one which was perfect and very tasty. The Buttercake desert was amazing.

    We had not been to Wildest for several years, and cannot image why not. The menu offered many choices including special Christmas Eve selections, service was top notch, parking was easy, and prices not over-the-top. Even though there was a full house, it was just pleasantly festive, not too noisy. We highly recommend the short ribs. The fresh fish of the day (Sea Bass) was OK, but probably would choose something else next time. And there will be a next time!

    On Christmas Eve we had a party of 14 which is a challenge in itself. From Michael’s greeting to Page’s recommending desserts, the service was impeccable and food exceptional. In our group, we had someone who was a vegan, another a celiac and the menu gave them several choices. Wildest checked all five stars.

    The food and the service was excellent. Mike was able to accommodate our party. Bryan was an excellent server and paid a lot of tension to our table. Our Christmas Eve dinner couldn’t have been better. The food was hot prime rib was cooked perfectly. Couldn’t ask for anything more. M Moore

    We had an amazing dinner at Wildest, and I can't stop thinking about it! I opted for the Prime Rib special, which came with the most delicious Gruyere gratin potatoes and perfectly cooked green beans — a true comfort food win. I also tried a refreshing hibiscus margarita, which was the perfect balance of tart and sweet. We started with a grilled truffle Caesar salad that had just the right amount of richness and a tomato and burrito salad that was light and flavorful. Everything was prepared with such care, and the flavors were top-notch! Our server, Paige, was absolutely wonderful. She was so thoughtful, attentive, and made our experience even more special. If you're in Palm Desert, Wildest is a must-visit — delicious food, great drinks, and top-tier service!
