Honestly
We had an absolutely amazing night here on Christmas Eve! The restaurant was beautifully decorated for Christmas — the festive décor created such a warm, magical atmosphere that instantly put us in the holiday spirit. The vibe was incredible, cozy, and full of joyful energy.

The service was outstanding from start to finish — attentive, friendly, and genuinely welcoming, which made the evening even more special. The food was delicious and well-prepared, perfectly complementing the overall experience.

It was a memorable night, and we truly enjoyed every moment. I would definitely recommend visiting, especially during the holiday season — this place is a must for anyone looking to enjoy amazing Christmas vibes, great service, and a wonderful dining experience.

I visited Oscar Wilde with my family to celebrate my birthday which happened to be on Thanksgiving. We had a reservation, and I arrived first, but they wouldn’t seat us until the entire party arrived. We also needed a low table because one member of our group used a cane. They had very few low tables available, and even though we arrived early, the only one left was next to a loud machine (possibly an ice maker) that made noise throughout our stay. We ordered from the main menu instead of the Thanksgiving prix fixe. For appetizers, we shared crispy calamari, chicken dumplings, and buffalo cauliflower. The calamari was too dry, and portions overall were small for sharing. For our mains, I had the chicken sandwich, my son and friend chose cheeseburgers (my son also ordered truffle fries), my daughter-in-law had fish and chips, and her mother ordered brussel sprouts, the only vegetarian dish they had. I also tried a Bad Santa cocktail, but the drink was too expensive for the size, and I was not impressed with the taste. At the end of the meal, they brought a small slice of chocolate mousse cake with a candle for my birthday. It was delicious and melted in the mouth, but the portion was extremely small. For a special occasion, a slightly more generous gesture would have been appreciated – though I understand every restaurant handles birthdays differently.
The atmosphere is definitely the highlight – beautiful, festive, and filled with elaborate Christmas decorations. It’s great for photos, though very crowded, with every table taken. We also waited over an hour for our food with nothing but water. Service could have been better. Our waitress, Isabella, was difficult to find when we needed anything – water, a straw, or to ask a question. Additionally, when I arrived with a cane, seeing me with it, no one, including the hostess at the door, offered me a seat while waiting. The restroom is down a steep staircase with no elevator, so accessibility is an issue. Parking is also challenging, but that’s typical for Manhattan. Overall, Oscar Wilde is worth visiting once for the unique décor, historic charm, and festive atmosphere – especially if you’re a fan of the writer. However, the service and accessibility need improvement, and the menu is overpriced for the portion sizes. It’s a fun place for the experience, but I’ve been to better restaurants.

I went with a girlfriend of mine for Afternoon Tea. The Tea Service was so beautiful and chic! It was a very snowy day in NYC, and the restaurant was so cozy and inviting! Everyone was so wonderful. Elian was so friendly and started us off with some tea. Maxine was the best, she took such great care of us and we honestly felt like we were saying goodbye to longtime friends by the time we were leaving! 10/10! This is a must-visit destination in NYC! Bonus points because the Victorian decor is so beautiful too.

Walking into Oscar Wilde feels like stepping straight into a Victorian dream lavish, theatrical, and absolutely unforgettable. It is also decorated according to the holidays or festive.

Every corner is drenched in character, from the ornate décor to the playful nods to the playwright himself. It’s one of those rare spots where the atmosphere alone is worth the visit, yet the food and drinks easily hold their own.

The cocktails are crafted with real intention bold flavors, beautiful presentation, and a touch of whimsy that fits the space perfectly. The menu has something for everyone, whether you’re in the mood for a full meal or just small bites to pair with drinks. Service is friendly and attentive without ever feeling rushed, even when the place is buzzing.

What really sets Oscar Wilde apart is the energy. It’s vibrant without being chaotic, elegant without being stuffy, and somehow both nostalgic and modern at the same time. Perfect for a date night, a celebration, or simply treating yourself to a little glamour.

If you’re looking for a spot that blends great food, creative cocktails, and an atmosphere that makes you feel like you’ve wandered into another era, Oscar Wilde is absolutely worth the stop. A true NYC gem.

I visited Oscar Wilde, a very TikTok-famous place. The interior is beautiful and very festive, with lots of decor, maybe even a bit too much, but it’s fun to look around and take photos. The hallway and old mirrors are especially atmospheric, and there’s a photo spot as well.

We were seated at a very small table, and the chair was uncomfortable. Food was a disappointment for me. I ordered fish and chips and didn’t like it at all, the fish, fries, and sauces just weren’t good. I asked for a Coke without ice a few times, but it still came with ice. I didn’t say anything and just accepted it. Dessert (chocolate mousse with ice cream) was okay, nothing special.

Service was very good and attentive. Overall, I’d recommend this place more for the atmosphere and photos than for the food, especially during the holidays.

I have gone here twice this December, and I absolutely love it! The servers are so friendly and accommodating, the atmosphere is so festive, and the drink menu is very fun! The first time I went, we ordered the mimosa package. For our second round, we were able to switch the orange juice for peach, which was definitely the right choice. All the cocktails are creative and festive- the only one I would steer clear of would be the Grinch (just not my preference). I loved the lychee martini too. The first time I went, I went for brunch. I ordered the avocado toast. However, I feel like I enjoyed the menu more when I went a second time for dinner. The gnocchi was very creamy; however, I paired it with a friend’s order of roasted chicken- I feel like the pasta dish lacked protein. The DJ had a variety of different music, and we even got to take a picture with the Grinch! My one warning would be that it is very loud and crowded. Regardless, it is such a great place to spend the holidays with your friends! I will be coming back next October to check out the Halloween cocktail menu!

The atmosphere is fantastic, if you’re looking for a unique restaurant in NYC. The calamari was ok, it’s a small portion to share. The wagyu burger is really good had a good rat flavor but the gnocchi was a little bland. Drinks were great we opted for mocktails, we got the Florence Welch and the Brandon flowers. Our server kept forgetting about us, so we had to flag down the other staff for help. We also had to walk around to find her in order to get the bill. The deserts.were also good, we had the bread pudding. Just keep in mind the music is a bit loud so you’ll have to speak up when chatting with your party. Other than that, it was a great place to try if you’re in the city.

Went here twice on our trip. First night the entire bar was decked out in Halloween decor! It was so creatively decorated for the holidays! The history of the building was displayed very elegantly and this bar portrays Oscar Wilde’s story well.
Next night we were there: no halloween decor! It was amazing how quickly they were able to completely transform the bar overnight! Had the truffle fries and an espresso martini which were both divine! Definitely excited to see this bar during the winter holidays!!

Oscar Wilde during the winter feels extra special. It’s been on my bucket list for years, and it truly lives up to the hype. This is one of those rare places that actually feels magical this time of year from the over-the-top décor to the cozy, festive atmosphere.

The winter seasonal cocktail menu fits the vibe perfectly: warming, festive, and meant to be sipped slowly while soaking in the surroundings.

Food-wise, everything hit the mark:
• Chicken Dumplings – Teriyaki-glazed chicken dumplings with green beans, crispy onions, ponzu, and sesame oil—packed with flavor.
• Classic Caesar Salad – Baby gem lettuce, sourdough croutons, shaved parmesan, and a perfectly balanced dressing.
• Wilde Wagyu Bacon Cheeseburger – Juicy 8 oz patty on a brioche bun with bacon and classic toppings—comfort food done right.
• Fish & Chips – Crispy beer-battered cod, golden fries, and tartar sauce.
• Desserts were a must: the Chocolate Mousse Cake was rich yet airy, and the Tiramisu had perfectly soaked espresso ladyfingers and creamy mascarpone.

They also host a fantastic New Year’s Eve party:

This place instantly pulls you into a different era — like stepping into a Jane Austen story — and right now the whole space is transformed for Christmas. Giant ornaments, holiday trees, snow globes, reindeers, Santa, polar bears… the decorations are incredible and make the whole place feel magical.

For families: make a weekend reservation and request low seating. There are a lot of high tables, so that note really helps. Service is on the slower side, but the food surprised me in the best way. The Wagyu bacon burger was thick, juicy, and came with fries. The sausage had a nice char, and my buttermilk chicken and waffle was juicy inside and delicious with syrup (approx $25 each for brunch entrees)

I also appreciated the themed bathrooms — they even use petal foot pedals to flush, which is so much more sanitary. Overall, a charming spot for holiday brunch and a great place to return to as the décor changes throughout the year.
