    Great food. great service. The only thing that could have been better is not being sat at the 2 top table next to the host stand by the front door - too many interruptions/ distractions from our dinner. We will definitely come here for dinner again.

    This was my fourth trip back to wild onion, and the quality of the experience is consistently terrific. Staff could not be nicer and more accommodating, food is yummy and interesting with choices that make even brunch more exciting. The Bloody Mary was divine. I’ve gone there for lunch meetings, because the noise level is low enough that you can hear each other comfortably, and while it’s an open layout, I never feel a lack of privacy. And the free valet parking, may they never discontinue that, makes it so easy to get in on time, and be stress-free. I like that the mood is casual enough that I don’t feel I need to get dressy, but stylish enough that I make an effort. If you go for brunch, definitely get the Nueske’s bacon, it’s the best America produces and it’s hard to get here in California. Bon appetit!
