    We were pleasantly surprised that the vegan offerings were so creative. We had the mushroom scallops and they were delicious. The salads however were disappointing price-wise. The wedge salad was $16, and we were ok with that, however we also ordered a vegan caesar and for some reason the price for that was $23! That's just for 2 small wedges of salad. Why it was so much more, I'm not sure, but I thought that was out of line, even for a high end restaurant. Other than that, the service was excellent and the vibe there was really nice--including live music which added to the ambience.

    Best meal we have had in quite a while! The service was great and ambiance was nice. Food was fresh and delicious! I had the Seabass and it was amazing. Partner had short ribs and he said they were juicy and tender. Butter cake for dessert, so yummy. Wine a little pricey for 9 oz pour. I loved the whole meal. We highly recommend

    Disappointed Haven’t been back in a couple of years. Nothing special and expensive. Manchegp app was like uncooked risotto- thought I might break a tooth. Short ribs okay but tasted a bit burnt and mashed potatoes too thick and dense. Not creamy at all. Husband thought his scallops were okay. $180 for two ppl. Only two drinks. Won’t be back. No holiday decorations and not festive at all.

    We shared the tuna, cauliflower and the squah blossom. I cannot wait to go bake for the butter cake but we were FULL! I want to try other things on the menu, but I also want more of what I had! DELICIOUS with great service and a GREAT WAITER!!

    Jane and Grace were both serving us last night and as always we had an incredible experience here. This is our 6th time going to Wildest and every time is just perfect. They have so many vegan options (several appetizers and like 5 vegan entrees too!) as well as responsible meats. This place is our favorite restaurant in the desert by far!

    Small portion of short rib as compared to previous short rib entree. Too many mashed potatoes to compensate for the small portion of short rib. The charred Caesar salad created wilted romaine - might want to reconsider this. Kudos for the bartender unknowing how to make a Hugo Spritz. It’s always a mixed review every time we eat there. Hate the idea of giving it up but may have to. Never thrilled with the experience.

    While being in Desert Springs with my son, we were looking for a restaurant which accommodates gluten free, vegan and ‘normal’ food. We found Wildest and were impressed with pretty much everything. Choices, food, transparency, service, wine list, and so much more. We will be back! It’s on the pricier side.
