Reviews
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.
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.
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.
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.
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!!
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:

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.
