I’ve been procrastinating on writing this, but finally for other customers awareness. This was personally one of the worst tasting menu experiences I’ve ever had in my life.

The atmosphere was disappointing. The couple seated next to us seemed very close to the chef, they were loud and constantly banging on the table, which felt obnoxious. With the tasting counter set up almost like a bar, it didn’t feel like a comfortable or enjoyable dining experience.

We had the tasting menu with non-alcoholic beverage pairings. Unfortunately, the food was mediocre at best. Dishes were either over-seasoned or under-seasoned, with no real balance. The low point was a rabbit and mushroom dish. When presenting it, the server proudly asked, “Have you ever seen this many kinds of mushrooms on one plate?” The plate itself lacked creativity, and honestly, I use more varieties of mushrooms in soups I make at home. It felt like a strange thing to boast about.

Dessert was also a letdown. The canelé was hard, rubbery, and completely flavorless.

This was supposed to be my birthday dinner, and my husband had high hopes, so I didn’t say anything at the time. But unfortunately, it stands out as one of the worst dining experiences I’ve had.

had pretty high expectations based on what i’d heard and really i think it lived up to the hype. the best thing i had all night was the honey nut squash ravioli. it was the perfect bite i swear to god, had every flavor working so well together. i did think that the striped chicken tortelli was pretty overrated if im being honest, that dish was pretty average in my opinion. drinks + dessert were both excellent, loved the ice cream and the almond cake. overall great vibe inside too, feels pretty intimate & the staff was very friendly and gave great recs!

Hands down one of the best meals I have ever had in my life. Chef Jackman is a genius and his restaurant is a true gem in our city. If you are a foodie and enjoy unique flavor combinations, you will love Wildweed. For an extra special occasion, do the chef’s counter tasting menu. You won’t regret it!

If I could give the service 0 stars I would! I’ve been wanting to try this restaurant for a long time and finally had the chance to visit it last night, November 4th. The hostess is rude and passive aggressive. Okay, no big deal. Our server was extremely unprofessional and could use a class in proper front of the house services. Okay, again, not a big deal, as long as the food is good. First course came out- cherry tomato salad and hamachi tartine. Both very under-seasoned, and the tartine was just not good- the chunks of fish were large taking away from that delicate texture and bomb flavor of tartine. We also ordered 1/2 dozen oysters that had pickled veggies diced on top, again lacking flavor so we sat around for about 10 minutes for our server to check on us so that we could get a lemon and add some citrus to them. We never received our second drinks so we decided to cash out early and order entrees somewhere else. The restaurant had many open tables while we were there, so no excuses for our terrible experience. The two tables next to us were also discussing how unsatisfied they were with their experience. I’m not sure how this restaurant was recently named “top 50 restaurants in America.”Save your $ and go somewhere else.

i’d first like to say that the food was overall very good, the ribeye was fantastic, but the service felt
unprofessional. our servers were great, but at the end of our meal, immediately after receiving the check, another woman asked us to leave. we were informed that the reservation behind us was here and we had to leave. no apology, only a passive aggressive “see you again.” we will not be returning. we ate quickly, ordered quickly, but still because the restaurant cannot allocate their time for each guest well, it became an issue. ended the meal on an awful tone for us.

The most amazing, delicious, herbaceous food you might ever have. It’s a place where you could pick anything on the menu and you’ll be day-dreaming of it all week.

I was *slightly* underwhelmed by the “by the glass” wine offerings, but it is a small matter as their cocktails are each a smooth journey through the flavors and mouthfeel… and ones that compliment the menu beautifully.

We had a lovely time at this gorgeous restaurant. You can sit up front by the bar area and windows or back by the bustling kitchen. Delicious food and exceptional service. It was quite busy and loud when we were there and you needed a reservation.

Food = too salty and way too complicated. Service was a touch pretentous, but fine. Amazing how she complimented the food prior to ordering then agreed that it was too salty after the complaint. We read about this place in The NY Times… I guess I need to stop relying on them for restaurant reviews. We ate in the regular dining room, had 2 starters and 2 entrees plus all the deserts to try. The chicken liver pate was thin and salty. The oysters were boring to say the least. Entree no 1 was the steak. It tasted like a Slim Jim. Salty salty salty. Too many salty items on top of a slaty steak. It was difficult to distinguish what was what…the sauce was a waste of time. The trout was fine, but there was too much salt in the sauce and way too much of it. Over flavored and way too complicated to enjoy. Not enough fish which was cooked perfectly for the amount of over flavored sauce. 2 out of the three deserts were… yes you guessed it… TOO SALTY. By the way, the steak had gristle. A $100 steak with gristle? Seriously? Fat I can understand, but not stringy gristle. I’ve eaten at so many top notch restaurants in nyc, Tokyo, Chicago, Paris, Italy, etc… I’d rate this below Taqueria Mercado near Jungle Jim’s which was a much better meal than this. I’m being generous by rating it at 3 stars.

We had a great time! This restaurant is taking risks by making completely original dishes! We love the vibe and service! Definitely gonna go back and recommend to whoever I can!

Really terrific dining experience all around. Chef’s Table is well worth the money: one of the best tasting menus we’ve had across the Midwest. Variety of dishes and portions were great, sous-chef presentations were hit and miss (two very personal presenters and one a bit on auto pilot).

Kitchen view was wonderful, Chef Jackson was terrific to watch, his kitchen leadership is very organic and not haughty.

Even if you prefer wine or cocktails, I STRONGLY recommend trying the non alcoholic tasting menu – each beverage prepared and presented by Lia were really interesting and complemented the food fantastically, genuinely highlighted the food. We’ll be back!
