“ Dude, this place is seriously amazing, it's beyond the five stars! The staff is super nice, the atmosphere and view are great, and the food? Wow, the taste and presentation are incredible. The chef even comes by to ask how everything is. If you're looking for an awesome experience downtown Calgary, you gotta check this out. ”
“ What an evening! We did the chefs tasting menu that was about 7 courses. This food is artistry to another level! The Porn star cocktail (lol) was also decadent with that bit of caviar. What a splurge and I’m so grateful that I got to experience this. 100000/10 ”
“ Had an amazing experience at the Wilde for my boyfriend’s birthday! We had the chef’s tasting menu and the food and service was top notch! Every dish was delicious and the presentation was beautiful. We did not leave hungry and took our final dessert course to go. I would highly recommend this for a special occasion. The atmosphere and decor in the restaurant was super trendy. From the moment we entered to when we left the staff were so friendly and they even had a birthday card on the table for my boyfriend signed by all the staff. Thank you so much for the hospitality!!! ”
“ This is one of my favourite restaurants to go to. Perched atop the 27th floor of The Dorian Hotel, The Wilde on 27 offers a luxurious dining experience with stunning city views. I initially went for the standout Chef’s Tasting Menu which features meticulously crafted dishes like scallop with apple amazake, Cape d’Or salmon, and shio koji striploin bison, all paired with expertly selected wines. I really enjoyed my experience there. Did you know that the Dorian hotel also received Michelin key in 2024? With a focus on seasonal ingredients and artistic presentation, the food is as memorable as the ambiance refined, imaginative, and unforgettable. I highly recommend you try out this place. ”
“ A very impressive restaurant! We booked the day of for a group of 10 celebrating the night before a wedding and were pleasantly surprised to get in. They were able to put us on the outdoor (heated) patio with stunning city views during sunset. We appreciated the privacy and they even brought nice blankets when some of us felt cold. We ordered several cocktails including 4 Wilder Porn Star Martinis which included Moet Champagne and a bump of Caviar. It was fun to drink and worth the cost. Our server then brought a complimentary amuse-bouche of hasselback potato and a fiddlehead. To follow, we ordered Venison Tartare and Octopus appetizers and the entire table was pleased. For mains our group focused on the Bison, Beef and Tortellini. Personally I was torn between the Risotto and Tortellini and after trying a bite of my friend’s Risotto, I was so glad with my choice! This was one of the most delicious pasta dishes I’ve ever had and certainly the most uniquely plated Tortellini I’ve ever seen. I truly cannot recommend this dish enough. Service was impeccable and we were able to bring in a bottle of Caymus for a reasonable 35 corking fee. Overall I have nothing but positive things to say about this restaurant! Thank you for a memorable experience. ”
“ The place is very classy and pristine. We had the pleasure of being served by Denise and boy is she so attentive to our needs. She is pleasant, very knowledgeable of their menu and a top tier server. I had a friend in my table whom she served before and she said lots of good things about her too. The food is visually appealing and is truly worth the visit. Love the purple butterfly drink I had. I also love the beets, a little on the smaller side though. The bison is a melt in your mouth and the cacao dessert is chef’s kiss. Love this place! ”
“ From the moment you get off the elevator, you feel very welcomed by the staff here. Their attention to detail is second to none. The staff do everything they can to make your experience special and unforgettable. Not to mention the food is spectacular. There are many unique dishes that look and taste amazing. Thank you to the Wilde team for always blowing us away every time we stop by for dinner. ”
“ I was celebrating my friend milestone birthday at the Wilde. They accommodated us with my window seat request. We had the experience menu which was truly and awesome experience. From the choice of ingredients to the taste of the food are amazing. The plating is detailed and stunning. Each course is like an art and so nicely designed. Our server is excellent as he gave us time to mingle but also attentive to our needs before we asked so. I would definitely go back for the superb service and tasty food experience. ”
