Wild Child is my husband's and I #1 restaurant in St.Pete! Moving here has been the biggest blessing and finding passionate restaurants is a true gem! We come here very often and the consistency of dishes made here including new ones are always the most satisfying. Every single dish never disappoints and cocktails are made so delicious! Always ask for their new specials as well. They always come up with the most creative flavors to a meal! 10/10 highly recommend coming here all day everyday!
We stopped in on a Friday night after hearing stellar reviews from a few friends. Man we were very impressed! We both started with a few drinks and then ordered a bunch of items off the appetizer menu to try and sample a variety. Everything was excellent. Service in particular was top notch.We ordered a ton of the appetizers and were honestly so full that we never got around to an entree ? The Tuna Tostadas and Chorizo Stuffed Dates were for sure our favorite. Can't wait to come back and try some of the main dishes.
Awesome experience! We walked up on a Friday and the hostess said about a 1 hr wait, or we could be seated at the bar immediately, which we took. The bar staff is very attentive and our drinks were very tasty. We started with the Tempura shishito peppers which were excellent, followed by the Bacon Cheeseburger and Korean Fried Chicken sandwich. The french fries are possibly the best I have ever had! Salty with rosemary, yummy! It's not a wonder that they were voted best new restaurant! Definitely going back!
We really enjoyed the Sunday brunch at Wild Child!Pro tip: if there’s a long wait for a table (we were estimated 1.5 hours), check the bar which is first-come, first-served- we were lucky to find seats right away and ordered both food and drinks there!We ordered the Tres Leches French Toast and Spanish Tortilla and both were delicious. We heard that the brunch menu will be changing soon, but this is a ‘can’t-go-wrong’ kind of place- whatever you order will be great! All the servers and bartenders were very friendly and accommodating; the service was excellent.We’re just visiting the area but will definitely come again if we’re back in town! :)
First time here and it was a great experience.It was the first day for the new menu and the kitchen was understandably struggling a bit. Our bartender Nicholas was great! The fries came out cold and send them back but were great the 2nd time. Had the steak and eggs rancheros. Good enough that my husband and I could split it.We had a few drinks. Aperol Spritz, Baby Bird and a baby bird with vodka instead. Overall, great time.We will be back. And I like the name ?
The food here is incredible. We ate half of the appetizer menu and wished we had room for the rest. Omg we'll be back.
I literally have nothing bad to say about this place. It can be difficult to get a seat/reservation, but that comes with being desirable! Highly recommend getting the reservations placed early. Even when the kitchen was slammed, they still had the food coming out in a timely manner. Cocktails are fantastic and I'm always met with friendly service. Thankful to have spent my birthday dinner there! Totally understand why it was voted #1 new restaurant in the Tampa Bay Area
Lively restaurant in the evening, outdoor bar is the place to be. The whipped ricotta was a highlight, creamy delicious treat. I enjoyed the unique flavor of the wings, the closest flavor is sweet and sour. The fish (red snapper) was the highlight of the fish and grits, I wish they would have used green rice instead of grits. I didn’t try the sandwich but the garlic aioli really made the fries.
Fantastic! Really good food. We had the tuna tostadas, the tempura peppers, chicken wings, and rosemary fries. All were exceptional but my favorite was the tempura peppers.
The food here was SO good. We got the braised short rib and it tasted like a bowl of pho on a plate the flavor was amazing. The burger was also delicious. The bacon wrapped chorizo stuffed dates were amazing and unique. The drinks are also great. They don’t have a lot of tables so reservations are probably a must and they have a smaller menu so the quality is through the roof of what they have. Would come back many more times!!
