Wildest Restaurant & Bar

The food, service and music entertainment were stellar. Many gluten free and vegetarian dishes with great tastes. Definitely will return when I'm back in Palm Desert.

We used to love this restaurant! Not so now. The food, noise level, 1.5 hours to receive our mediocre entrees, along with a server with a terrible attitude, made for a dismal experience. We will not be returning to this establishment! Formerly, the food was excellent, the wait staff friendly, and the atmosphere was upbeat in a modern, energetic setting. Unfortunately, this was a dismal experience.

Extremely bad experience. Arrived at 645 and told waitress we had to be out in an hour due to theater. She kindly obliged and said she'd bring starters out with main. All good. Starters came, quite nice. Waited and waited on main course for more than 26 minutes. Waitress said food would be right out a few times. Then, we told them we needed to leave in 10 minutes and they brought out our food, completely raw. I had fish. My parter had scallops. Neither were cooked. The bites we took were disgusting and cold inside. They clearly forgot, then rushed this on and out to us. We couldn't eat it. We showed them and sent it back and they admitted it was raw. We had to go - I asked for the bill. They came over and said they'd all been talking about it and they wanted to comp us. We got up and left, I complained to the host how terrible of an experience it was. He said. “I know. I saw the food.” No please come back on us and give us another chance or anything. We walked out totally discouraged and will never go to this restaurant again. (It was our first time and we were excited to try). Why not have been honest with us. Tell us you forgot and you're sorry. Don't bring us raw food. Terrible experience.

What a wonders evening and dinner. Wildest never disappoints. The best service ever from Paige. Brought friends in who loved it. Everything was delicious, filet,sea bass, gluten free ravioli and beet salad. The restaurant was buzzing with happy patrons. What a great place.

We have always had a wonderful experience with our service and the food, however this past visit exceeded our expectations!! The Host was new to us and a great addition to Wildest! The service from the bar to the restaurant was top notch! The food fantastic as usual We cannot wait to return.

I decided to take my girlfriend to this restaurant because they have a fair amount of vegan options for her. The staff was fantastic! The food on the other hand was a whole different story. Starting with the artichoke appetizer, it was the tiniest artichoke and a very poorly selected one at that. There was nothing edible on any of the leaves and they don't even give you the heart. The dipping sauces were good though. My girlfriend got the ravioli and she literally only got six of them and they are by no means large. I got the filet mignon and it was the worst one I've ever had at a restaurant. It must have been microwaved. The side of potatoes was quite small too. My girlfriend is 100lbs and it's the first time I've ever seen her finish a meal and be hungry still, and I certainly was as well. We literally ate our meals and then went and had another dinner at another restaurant. That's pretty disappointing when you consider how much we spent. The staff were fantastic so I really feel bad leaving a review like this, but the food was very unacceptable. The margaritas were good though.

This was, no question, the best vegan food we had in years! Yes, that good. Wonderful atmosphere and service. But it’s about the food! Apparently the chef is vegan and her husband a meat-eater, so everyone is accommodated with fine food. It was so good I can’t even complain about the price. Go go go.

We had a very disappointing experience at this restaurant on Thanksgiving. We made a reservation for 6 adults and 5 kids for their fixed menu and arrived on time for our 7:15 PM booking. However, we waited 45 minutes past our reservation time and were only seated at 8:00 PM, which was extremely difficult with small, hungry children.

Once seated, our server was unpleasant and uncommunicative. By 8:30 PM, we still hadn’t placed our order, so we had to approach the manager to request someone else take care of our table because the kids were becoming restless and hungry. The manager eventually replaced our server, but by this point, the experience had already soured.

The food itself was disappointing. The kids’ meals were only served when the adults received their entrees—around 9:30 PM—which was far too late. The quality of the food didn’t justify the high price, and overall, the service and experience were far below our expectations.

Unfortunately, we cannot recommend this restaurant, especially for families or special occasions.

Best meal in Palm Springs!!
Excellent Service and food.

Our birthday dinner was so extra special tonight. Mike the manager and Jane our server knew we were celebrating Cory’s birthday and made us feel like royalty. The food was incredible and the vegan options were as amazing as always. They even had some new options on their menu. We will always come back here. The menu is so diverse and plant forward but also their fish and meat dishes are also responsibly sourced and clean. We love you wildest!

The service was five stars, and the food was tasty, but portions were tiny and expensive. The atmosphere was elegant but lacked charm, and the location was odd.

The staff at Wildest took very good care of us while we celebrated our anniversary. My wife has celiac disease and is very allergic to gluten. The staff were knowledgeable about celiac disease and ensured everything for her was closed on a separate surface and did not use the fryer. We will come back here again for the delicious meal again! Thank you!

My husband (omnivore) and I (vegetarian) loved it so much, we are going back a second time on our one week trip to Palm Desert. Unique options, great live music, nice atmosphere!

Very nice restaurant. The staff was very attentive and the food was great. I am not vegan, which many of their menu choices are. However, I did order a vegan ravioli dish and it was awesome!
