Editorial Review for Wildwood Restaurant & Bar – by Christina Melander
In Short
Three discrete, stylish areas--bar, dining room and chef's counter facing the open kitchen--exist in harmony. High-backed booths create cozy spaces for tête-à-têtes under a sloping, wood-paneled ceiling blanketing the oft-noisy restaurant. The menu changes weekly but is solidly Northwest fare. Heirloom tomatoes make a wedge of halibut percolate, while a zingy gremolata massages leg of lamb's deep flavor. Classic cocktails in pint glasses and fruit desserts including a blueberry turnover and should not be missed.

I ate here tonight with friends, after not eating here for a while. My gnocchi at $19 was more like an $8 appetizer size. It was so lemony, I could hardly eat it. It was also dripping in butter. The pepper grinder was empty and the waiter brought it back full at the end of the meal. My husbands' steak was tough and the white plate had no color. White plate, white leek, white potato, tough meat.$35!!!!! My friends' beet salad looked dull and her lamb appetizer with one small chop was overpriced. The gin and tonic was the best part. What is it about this restaurant that keeps people enjoying it?
Pros: Waiter was fine
Cons: Food was overpriced and not even good

I made this reservation through opentable for 8:00 p.m. and we were not seated until 8:40 p.m. (please note there was availablity in the dinning room but not on the patio at the time). They gave away the last patio seating to someone without a reservation (right before us). We had a drink in the bar and about 25 minutes into the wait with some complaining OSHA (great customer service) offered to buy us an appertizer. We were finally seated on the patio. The watier on the front part of the meal was attentive and provided us with tastings of wine to accompany our meal. Once the meal came the service after that, was thin and very lengthy....so lengthy that I had time to cancel what I ordered (a glass of wine). When the food arrived I have to say for the price (Do they think they are in the wine country with those prices) was not so great. Over all it was a bad impression and I would never spend my hard earned money there again...bacon wrapped chicken tasted like...hum...nothing really...no flavor...and this was all on a Thursday night. That Sunday I went to the Thai food rest. up the street and it was FANTASTIC and only a $35.00 meal instead of $163.00 meal.
Pros: Location to the hotel, OSHA the Hostess
Cons: Value for the $, LOUD, Reservations don't mean a thing, Taste of food
