   My husband took me here for Mothers day & we had a lovely time! only a few little things could of been tweaked for a 5 star review but the day was still nice. Our waitress wasn't clear on the Mothers day deal as it included a glass of prosecco but she didn't say that if we ordered any other drink that it takes the place of the "free" prosecco and our cutlery wasn't replenished after each course so we had to chase up the waitresses, which isn't the end of the world but just worth mentioning for the future. We both ordered the calamari for starters, my Husband had a pizza for main and I had the steak which were absolutely delicious! Cheesecake and tiramisu for dessert which again were very tasty! My Son had the kids sausage and fries with peas which went down a treat. Overall, great day with very lovely food and a good atmosphere!

   On our walks around Kingston we came across this restaurant having been not been attracted with the run down Kingston Good Market. On entering a quiet restaurant we were escorted to the smallest table possible which was unexpected. On asking for a stool or chair to put my backpack I was met with a severe confused response. Surely I was not asking for anything out of the ordinary or possibly my travels to the East had presented more thoughtful aspects and experiences for the diner. Possibly the location of the restaurant there was a strong sewage, dank smell and could be attributed to being next to the muddy Thames River. On a positive note the loud jovial music should put any diner in a perky mood. My daughters Pizza was a good size and looked well made with enough cheese and crispy side with no super charred base that Zizzis and Pizza Express can take a lesson or two. One surprising thing is the cutlery provided steak knives. I certainly havens used steak Knives to cut pizza and it posed a challenge to not my daughter but myself. The serrated steak knives do not lend well to the crunchy sides especially as they solidify as time goes on with the meal. Either that I’m not experienced with Pizza and Steak knives or it is a strong hint at either eating quickly or to use my hands. Irrespective of which my experience left one feeling uninitiated. Finding myself peckish but not quite hungry I ordered some olives which were surprisingly good comparable with Prezzo Olives. The Americano was sufficiently disappointing for our American patrons being half a cup. The saucer seemed to have coffee grounds which indicated either butter fingers or unfamiliar coffee making process. It was certainly unexpected and disappointing from observing many flaws though Wildwood is not alone in this regard. That being said the coffee bean was interesting savoury and rich which was unexpected from the usual humdrum super bitter burnt mediocre coffee served at soo many coffee establishments that the locals here seem to like and accept. Suffice to say I wouldn’t visit this or other Wildwood anytime soon despite the pizza being quite good, nice olives and half a cup of americano. Possibly having experienced おもてなし omotenashi in Japan, Hong Kong’s prompt Customer Service which is attentive, accurate, polite & efficient and 待客之道 in China & Taiwan has shown us what great service is like and can be achieved. This has certainly set the bar far higher with what is being offered in eateries in and around the United Kingdom in terms of service but also the deliverable which is the product, the food.

   The food here has a great variety, from grills to pasta to pizza and seafood/vegetarian options - there’s food for everyone! The drinks could have been a bit more chilled but also had a great variety. Dessert definitely topped it off! The cookies & cream cheesecake was my favourite. Considering we got a drink each, 2 starters to share, a main each and dessert each, all which totalled to approx £35pp (4 people), I’d say is very reasonable! Definitely left feeling full as well.

   I don't really want to get into the whole service charge versus tipping argument, but I'm still going to mention it. I've travelled and lived in the USA, so I get the whole tipping thing. In America. This isn't America. This is England. On the Wildwood website it mentions they add an OPTIONAL 10% service charge (but they don't say who that goes to, the restaurant or the server). I'd like to see some transparency around that please. Now we're on a budget, and haven't you heard, there's a cost of living crisis? I'm saving up for my gas bill this winter! Still, it was an important milestone so we'd pushed the boat out and came here for dinner (we know how to live!). The food was fine. The server came, took our order, checked later it was okay, and that's it. She did her job. There was nothing remarkable or above and beyond. It just was what it was. There was only the two of us, and we didn't eat much (a main and a soft drink each). The food came to £33.10. The 10% service charge (£3.31) brought it to £36.41. I went to pay cash (2 x £20 notes), and the server was crestfallen that I expected my £3.59 change. I'm sorry, but if you'd kept that I'd have been adding 21% to my bill. I'm not made of money, this isn't America, and if anyone from British Gas is reading this can I just say... Don't worry, I'll have the money for your bill.

   Pretty nice food and prices are acceptable though on the more expensive end- without desserts it cost us almost £100 for 5 people. Very good range of food though, even with 2 fussy eaters with us we all ate something we were happy with!

   Well every now and then your find a gem and wildwood hits the bill !!! Service was very quick and attentive . I had the calamari for starters and the classic burger for mains the calamari was lightly seasoned as it should be fresh and vibrant the burger was cooked to perfection with fabulous quality beef seasoned again perfectly . Home made fries are perfectly cooked . My wife and daughter had pasta dishes and they said the flavours were so intense and aromatic .. Highly highly recommended and don't let that kitchen team leave you have keepers there !!!.
