    We were celebrating our 50th anniversary and chose Wildflower because it was highly recommended by our foodie friends. We enjoyed a complimentary glass of Prosecco and ordered the “bouquet” of small plates chosen by the chef. The entire experience was exemplary and the service was excellent. We enjoyed all of the many unique and special dishes that we would probably never have thought to order on our own and thereby have new favorites for the future. Ending the dinner we had the pleasure of the honey ice cream with honey brittle that was divine and was not too sweet but very flavorful and a delightful ending.

    Everything we ordered was delicious, this kitchen does not miss. Comfortingly familiar dishes delivered with delightful measures of surprising upscaled flavors. Great food, great wine! But it was our server, Carlos, that made it truly a stand-out experience. He was incredibly personable, gracious and exemplarily poised from start to finish, offering guidance and showing personality when the moment called for it, and giving our large group space (while still ensuring we had what we needed) when our chatter was unbreachable. It was exactly the perfect balance that service in finer dining establishments requires. High praises!
