Wilder Scratch Kitchen - Bayport

Chef lundmark is a genie with eating. Daily and weekly specials keep it exciting to come back regularly and the menu also changes seasonal

I'll start by saying the service at The Wilder was pretty subpar. As a customer I didn't feel like my time was respected. I understand that sometimes it comes down to how busy it is but this was definitely not one of those times. I'd recommend hiring another waiter if that's the norm. Anyway, I decided to go with the Torched Tuna. I went in excited but it really didn't taste like anything. The piece of the dish with the most flavor was the potato. I feel like there are other dishes that are good but for the price this was not anything special.

For an $18-20+ entree, the whole experience wasn't quite on. The chairs were not comfortable and were slightly wobbly. Roasted vegetables not really roasted or flavorful. Not bad, not great. Roasted vegetables are usually amazingly delicious. Servings a tad small (no leftovers. We always take home leftovers). Spare ribs were excellent. The savory cheddar waffle (served with the chicken) was perfection. Chorizo burger was a little small but was well cooked and flavorful. The bun was dry. The cheese curds were over cooked and dried out. The homemade pickles were the best part of that appetizer. As scratch proponents, we wanted to LOVE this place. It was OK. Eat here if you are in the area. We drove an hour and a half just to eat here...I wouldn't suggest that. : Best of luck

Service and speed were OK. Bison steaks were not steaks but ground meat and super salty. Lavender lemonade is too sour and barely have a hint of lavender in it. Champagne pancakes were delicious but extremely small, kind of like at Michelin taste course restaurants in Europe, actually the smallest I ever seen. Korean wings looked really good but lacked flavour. We asked for separate checks, but were given only one in the end. Had to ask to split it 2 times, because they split it wrong the first time.

It was ok. They were seating people who walked in after me as I waited to be seated. I was just ready to walk out when they finally asked if I had been helped. Never even offered a discount.Don't think I will be going back there anytime soon.
