Amazing fine dine place with great food and service.Visited this place for my birthday and waitress sure made me feel special. Ordered Pistachio Chicken , Chicken Bao buns with side salad , Dark chocolate brownie (10/10)and couple of drinks which were incredible. Food taste absolutely fresh and flavourfull. This place has lot of seating area - nice place for parties and office getogethers. Overall experience was great - Will be back for sure.
Great time. Took family for hubbys 60th and sons birthday. Food was excellent and so was the service. It was very noisy on a Saturday and that was the only negative comment. Highly recommend.
We recently had our wedding reception at Wildcraft and everything was perfect! Our guests showed up a bit earlier than our reservation start time, but the servers and staff were extremely accommodating, despite us being early. The food was delicious (as always), the servers were extremely attentive and made sure everyones glasses and drinks were full and everyone had what they needed. Everything from prep to day of was executed wonderfully thanks to to help of Jason. And a VERY big thank you to Cindy and the wonderful team of servers!! Definitely 5 star + service and experience!Thank you Wildcraft Team!
Fantastic place! Our server was amazing, the food was to die for and loved the atmosphere. We came for my birthday and they brought us a special dessert after our meal. My husband has to eat gluten free and not only were they very knowledgeable and had plenty of options but the special dessert had a side completely gluten free for him! Amazing.
Wildcraft has a great ambiance! I love going here for a great meal and to celebrate something special. The staff is absolutely the best, super friendly, professional and courteous! Menu is large and has a selection for all!
Steak is tender and very good quality, but too bad the blue cheese sauce is way too salty and ruins it. Steak would even taste better if it just used light salt and pepper. White Chocolate Cheesecake was quite good.In overall, for this price, I would expect a lot better than this.
Rachel was super attentive! Highly recommend this restaurant, mojito was delicious, pays attention to food sensitivities! Great place, great ambiance.
Stakes are really good here. Prices not so much haha but still not so expensive. Service is good.
Amazing service! Great cocktails and appetizers. Thank you for suggesting the cheesecake. Wow, so good, especially when paired with an espresso martini!! Highly recommend!!
Had a great time here once again, probably our tenth time here and maybe best to date. Specific shout out to Justin the GM who gave us some great service and made sure my wife had a great birthday. Great cocktails, great steaks, highly recommend the rib eye. Well be back for sure.
Awesome restaurant! The service was amazing, with attentive waiting staff, great food and quite the beer and wine list.
I had an amazing dinner here last night! We really enjoyed our food. I had the W/ Burger with fries and it was delicious, so many flavours. For dessert I had two sprinkle cake pops and they were thoroughly enjoyed as well. Our server Riley was very kind and she made our meal even more enjoyable. So I highly recommend this restaurant.
The food is amazing: we got the chicken rigatoni and the the Thurston Howell steak. The quality is top notch and the portions are very reasonable. It would count somewhere between fine dining and casual dining: you can go there for a social occasion or just a night out with friends. Our server was extremely attentive and courteous and ambiance was very nice. Overall definitely will be going there again!
Had a nice dinner here with my family. The food was super good and worth the wait. Sydney was so friendly and gave us a great service. The best-mashed potato I had ever tried, also the steak🤩
When I was seated, I was introduced to Ben (from what I rememberand another waitress that was in training. Both were excellent. Coming back to check on our table every 5-10 min to see if we needed anything else. My girlfriend and I tried the spicy potato wedges as our starter and they were amazing! Then we decided on 10 oz steaks for our main, it was then I realized what a good steak tastes like, cooked to perfection! After our delicious meals, and as we are leaving, we had staff asking us how our meals were with a very happy and charismatic approach. I highly recommend anyone to try WildCraft, unbelievable food and even better service, you cant go wrong.
Excellent food and service. It was nice to be able to talk over dinner, unlike many noisy establishments. Free parking.
What a great restaurant! The atmosphere and overall look of the place is very welcoming. The staff were super professional and nice! One of the sauces for the wings tasted a little funny to our palate and our server was very accommodating, she gave us a new order of wings with a new sauce that tasted fantastic! And didnt charge us for the other.I also ordered a few drinks and they tasted amazing. Just enough sweet, tart, and booze.Everything food wise tasted fresh and had a lot of flavor! Theres a lot of items on the menu Id like to try so Ill definitely be back.Thanks Wildcraft Grill!
This is the place to go if you love steak. That said, we were also offered vegan and gluten free menus if we so desired. The service and food were excellent. We had a small issue with one of our meals which was dealt with with grace and efficiency. A great place for a celebration. I highly recommend.
Very good restaurants, all ingredients are fresh. Pulled pork tastes pretty and mushy in the rice bowl. Mushroom soup is silky and milky. The portion is okay, not too much.
We here for a night out for our anniversary. Service by Joanne was excellent! She was very attentive to our table, even with some difficult patrons seated beside us, and a large party downstairs. She always kept her composure, and always had a smile! Food was excellent, and the cocktail menu was tried out extensively! A place where you can go semi-casual, or just casual. If you plan to visit, be prepared. It is not a fast food joint! Thousand to.es better than one if those! Ask to be seated with Joanne, you will not be disappointed!
Service great. Environment great. Food not so good. Steak cooked perfectly but bland. Blender shouldnt be used for mashed potatoes. Asparagus should be cooked. Dessert needs to be checked for mould before serving. Left tip for service only.
*Ordered exclusively off the plant-based menu, dessert was vegetarian*The plant-based menu is defs done well, the nacho cheese chips taste fantastic! We also ordered the bao (wish the bun was a bit more soft and squishy). The dessert was the veg brownie and hazelnut ice cream. Overall, delicious af dinner (and filling!)The staff here is quick to bring our food, accommodating to requests and special occasions, I would come again :)
Great place to celebrate birthday or anniversary. Went for dinner with my daughter and her friends. Would recommend for family dinner.
I had an absolutely fantastic experience here. I called ahead to ask about allergies and they made a completely separate menu for me! The manager was SUPER nice, as were all the waitresses on Friday night. We had a group of 17, and while the food took a while, it was well worth the wait. They even had the kitchen staff clean the area so there would be no contamination for my meal and I did not mind waiting a few extra minutes for my meal at all. It was absolutely delicious! I do not think I have been to a restaurant that was so helpful and accommodating for allergies. Thank you so much!
Visiting from out of town on a birthday trip and I honestly wish I could rate this place more than 5 stars. From start to finish, we were greeted with smiles and a warm welcome. Riley could not do enough for us. At one point the manager (whose name I did not catchcame over to ask if everything was okay and if she could do anything for us. My husband noticed that all the wait staff had smiles on their faces, which is a big sign of a fantastic restaurant. We both had a steak and the food was warm and full of flavour. Great portions and she even brought cake at the end to wish me a happy birthday. If we are in the area again, we will definitely keep this place in mind. Please ensure this review falls into the right hands, Riley was lovely!
Great staff, good food and inventive cocktails. Love the ambience as well!
Beef dip and venison burger were top of the line. The venison was infused with herbs (rosemary I thinkwhich combined with the quality toppings was just amazing. And also the kids meals were a hidden gem: veggie starter, practically adult-sized portion of actually tasty food, and a sundae desert for $11! We were actually shocked by how good it was considering it is not aimed to accommodate children, but it sure kept them happy.We were very well looked after as well. Our lunch really went beyond our expectations.
I tried out 4 things at this place:Tuna poke rice cake: honestly, I was pretty let down by how underwhelming this is. The tuna was seasoned well, and the rice part was scorched rice which I usually like, but the pieces didn’t really go together well, the dish didn’t feel cohesive when the pieces were eaten together. However, the addition of the yam chips did elevate the flavours a lot, and made it taste better.Classic nachos with guacamole: crispy and delicious.Prawn spaghettini: not a big fan of it, it tasted alright, with a super strong sour white wine after taste that overwhelmed the dish. I understand that wine is commonly used in pasta dishes but this aftertaste just really overshadowed the other part of the dish for me. If you’re into it though, you will enjoy it. I wouldn’t say this taste bad, just not my cup of tea.Skor white chocolate cheesecake cake pop: it was good and creamy, but overly sweet imo. Also, it tastes like Werthers original caramel candy, so if you like this candy, you will most likely enjoy this desert.Overall, I wouldn’t say the food is bad, but it’s not spectacular. The price of most items I have tried were overpriced in my opinion. However, the servers were really nice and attentive, and I would probably consider coming back for a social gathering.
Wildcraft has THE BEST TRUFFLE MASHED POTATOES! These mashed potatoes are to die for! I keep coming back to this place for the mashed potatoes. However I wish that they have more options for Mains in Chicken. This place is high-end but it definitely justifies the quality & experience for the place. The staff is very welcoming and the place is spacious. The Restaurant is located in a plaza so there is lots of parking. Definitely try this place out and do try their truffle mashed potatoes!
Excellent. The food quality was exceptional. Sydney did a great job by offering wine tasting before serving wine. Their fries were seasoned well. The sandwich was good. My husband ordered pistachio rigatoni with chicken and he loved it as well. They have an open bar. Very warm feeling. Definitely going back again
The Beef+Blue steak was probably the best steak I’ve had to date. It’s very salty fyi, but that’s my preference. I also got the mushroom soup (10/10). They gave us complementary dessert for the birthday event free of charge🎉.We booked the private room downstairs in advance, but there was some miscommunication. Took some convincing to eventually get the room though.
I was craving a thick cut steak, and my 14oz ribeye was a good choice to satisfy that! Juicy steak, well seasoned cauliflower and last but not least the garlic mashed potato was extremely addicting. The service was amazing, food did not take long to arrive and it had a great ambience for a perfect date night.
First day with an open patio, how could we resist?! Our server Ben was incredibly attentive and his recommendations absolutely set the tone for our wonderful lunch! From helping navigate the extensive drink menu, his personal recommendations on the apps and mains- we ABSOLUTELY chose those! The food was incredible, we both chose bowls - and well definitely be back to try his other enticing suggestions! Thanks again Ben, I hope your managers see this- you were fantastic!
Has to be one of the top fancy restaurants in the region. Nice staff, yummy delicacies. Well recommended it.
We had an amazing time at Wildcraft! It was our anniversary and the dessert we got was amazing!! Our server was Taylor and he was awesome, super friendly and gave great service. The drinks were incredible, the strawberry fields cocktail is one of the best cocktails I’ve ever had! The food came quick and was amazing, the portions are great. We also tried the plant based chicken wings and they were sooo good!! 10/10 definitely check this place out, great for special occasions or just a fancy date night!
Fantastic food and terrific atmosphere. Steaks are always perfectly cooked and appetizers are extremely delicious. I have been coming here for over 10 years and I will keep on returning.
Food and service was perfect! Mashed potatoes tasted like they were made with margarine which Im not a fan of but quality of everything was still really great and the atmosphere is warm and upscale.
Fantastic experience. Food was great. The server was amazing and very friendly and super attentive. We ended up sitting in the bar area only because we felt the dining room was a bit crowded in the table for two a bit snug. Other than that everything was outstanding.
Delicious!! We had a small get-together for our sales team and everything was excellent. Very organized and efficient staff. Servers were friendly and accommodating to dietary restrictions. We had a predetermined menu yet still lots of choices. For a starter I had the Caesar salad which was really good. Creamy dressing, real bacon bits and crispy crunchy croutons. I can handle a little bit more garlic, but in a group. Im glad it wasnt too strong , lol. Half of the table chose the salad and the other half had the mushroom soup and it looked good, and i was told it was delicious. For the main dish. I chose the Chicago style steak, medium rare and it was done to perfection. Melt in your mouth good. Others had the chicken bowl and it too wad delicious. Also the salmon dish was featured and ones the had it said it was perfect. Great size portions, you felt full without being stuffed. We even had room for dessert 🎂 and it too was yummy. I had the creme brulee and others chocolate cake. Both were so good no one had any left on their plate.
Very friendly staff, incredible food and a warm atmosphere on a cold day. They made celebrating with them easy and enjoyable.
Great restaurant with a beautiful interior. Service was good. The food took some time to come but it was yummy. Only thing I didnt like was that my fries were a little too salty but the steaks were perfectly cooked and the cheese dip was delicious.
The best way to describe this restaurant is that it is an upscale version of a moxies/earls. They got a wide variety of dishes to choose from. Personally, I ordered the VENISON BURGER, THURSTON HOWELL steak, LUG TREAD beer, a coke, and PHYLLO BAKED WHITE CHOCOLATE CHEESECAKE. I found the venison burger to be tasty. The buns were soft, the ingredients were fresh, and they gave a good amount of fries with the dish. The steak itself was a big flavorless to me however; the sides (especially the mash potatoes), were amazing. The lug tread beer is something I really recommend at this place. Their coke was really water down and had no carbonation. The cheesecake was creamy and not too sweet.The service here was top-notch. They were extremely friendly. They made great recommendations and continuously checked up on us to see how our meals were. I have to give a shout out to our server Nikki. Once I told her my coke was water down and lacked carbonation, she got me a new coke and put soda water to help with the lack of carbonation. I appreciate her effort to help deal with the carbonation issue.They got lots of TVs. The bathrooms are clean. Lots of space to entertain your guest. The ambiance here is great. This is a good spot to bring your friends or your date for a first date or for the big game.I gave this 4 stars only because the steak wasnt that great for the price they charged, and their water down coke. I recommend this place to anyone in the area.
Tried some bowls and baos for a birthday dinner. Wish the baos were a little bigger, they were very snack size. The bowls were good. One had a way better sauce for it then the other. The sweet type sauce on the chicken bowl just wasnt to our liking. The cake was moist just wish there was more sauce to it.The service was friendly and atmosphere was ok. We got sat outside due to an event and none of the heaters were on so it was cold.
Came here for a patio in October with a group of 5 and the service was extremely friendly and on point. The service alone is enough to return but the large portions of food and care for each dish is another big reason to come back.All appetizers (tuscan kale salad, pork belly bao, and artichoke bruschettawere delicious and had very unique flavours. The 14oz round eye steak was extremely tender and well presented. The steak sandwich dip was a massive portion and I could only finish half after the share of appetizers.I would very much recommend Wildcraft for a casual dining and drinks atmosphere with high-quality food and service. They also have a large drink selection for beers and cocktails and ample patio space with an abundance of heated areas for cooler weather.
Wow. Amazing place! Worth driving into Waterloo if youre driving down the 401.Fabulous atmosphere, friendly staff, clean, an incredible selection, and possibly some of the best food we have ever had.For us gluten-free folks, they have an e-menu just for us (vegetarian menu too), so that you can just look through the things you can eat. And I mean a WHOLE menu, with lots of selection and variety.Appetizers, soups, entrees, desserts are all available, and oh so good. Oh, the garlic mashed potatoes were perfection, the filet mignon cut like butter, the mushroom pasta was so tasty, the lb burgers were so flavourful.I highly recommend the Mojito Pot De Creme for dessert. Amazing!Special shout out to our fabulous waitress, Kaitlyn, who was just so friendly, helpful and accommodating.We were only in town for the weekend, but after Friday nights Amazing dinner, we booked for Saturday too.This time, we could not sit in Kaitlyns section since she had a party to serve, but Lexi took great care of us. Kaitlyn even made a point of dropping by our table to say hi.I have no idea what the rest of K/W has to offer, but we will probably be going back at least once a year just for this restaurant.
Disappointed. My pregnant wife and I decided to go out for a late Sunday night dinner and decided to give wildcraft a try. Staff were very friendly. Our booth table was clean but the floor under was dirty with food pieces We ordered the small duck tacos and the cheese dip. The duck tacos were really awful. Meat didnt taste fresh, too many peanuts that were too strong tasting and and unappealing grilled slices of lemon which was a first for me. For the mains, we order the lamb burger, which apparently the kitchen ran out of; So we instead opted for the regular burger which was ok for a pub quality. The seared scallops risotto pasta was very plain and didnt really go well together. We were debating between the Keg and Wildcraft, but Wildcraft is now more of a pub food and atmosphere rather than upscale restaurant.
Our first time going here (last nightand it won’t be our last. It was last minute so we could only get a table on the bar side, it was very nice! Our server was great. In fact everyone who walked by our table was very attentive to make sure we had everything we needed. If you need gluten friendly you won’t be disappointed so many options!!
We were 4 friends last night and we wanted a place to celebrate my 40th birthday.We arrived at 10pm a bit late and i have to say we were very well hosted.Our server, dont remember her name sorry (tall, black hair, big smile and funnywas a real delight. Professional, friendly and attentive.She was amazing from start to finish, advising us on cocktails, mains, desserts and every time she was correct.The cocktails were really delicious and tasty, the food was beyond my expectations and the restaurant setting is beautiful.It was my 40th birthday yesterday ( tough time ahahbut Wildcraft, our Server, the Chef and his Team helped to make my day, a GREAT day.Thank you all.100% recommend this restaurant.
Very nice resturant, they have a gluten-free specific menu. Covid precautions are on point. The servers are super friend, helpful, and attentive. Good selection of food, drinks and dessert, also has a big patio. The dessert I had was Earl grey infused and I found that to be a little bit subpar in terms of flavour, but a good crem brule otherwise.
Food was excellent, really good vegetarian burger which is hard to come by! Our server was so personable and polite and funny, we didnt wait too long for any of the food, and the prices were good.Only thing I can add to improve, the dehydrated garnish on food doesnt add anything to the experience because its not candied so I cant eat it, and the shirley temple just tastes like orange juice, so you need to ask for a little extra of everything to compensate.
