Food was outstanding! We did the NYE 5-course prix fixe dinner with wine pairings. Service was super friendly, though we were delayed in being seated for our 9 pm reservation and the time between each course exceeded what I would consider appropriate. That said, it was NYE and the restaurant comped us some champagne for our waits and the friendliness of the staff and quality of the food /wines left us very satisfied by the end of the meal. Recommend Wild South highly!

Our dining experience was superb. The cocktails, dishes, and wine pairings on the tasting menu were creative, well balanced and flavorful. The service was a step above and refreshingly full of pride and connection. We loved every part of our experience and look forward to returning.

The food and service is outstanding. The location was very hard to find had no sign. We had to walk a couple blocks to figure out where we were going.
