High end resturant, service was good. First time fist impressions a good resturant over all, prices on high side and we notice on the menu if sharing charge extra $4. Atmosphere very good & outside seating for pets if you have them.
See if next time food & service will improve. Could of been what we ordered since was lunch. As much was over cooked and servers where very matter if fact when serving and taking order. But again first time dinning at this resturant....

Excellent menu with daily specials. Very solid and consistent restaurant. Crab cakes ( no filler) got three. They were true to their word and had a wonderful taste. Shared for others to enjoy. Waterfall Asian dinner was also tasty. Filets were cooked to perfection and quality cuts. Guests enjoyed their halibut. The appetizers rate as follows… spring rolls good (4 small) lobster press were very tasty, fried green tomatoes ( not the best). Salads were good but small. Bread service...

My husband and I really enjoy dining at Wild Thyme. The food is fantastic, and the service is as well! We also like that we can bring our Golden Retriever, Sammy to dine with us on the patio. We have eaten at this cozy and lovely place many times and will be back soon!
