My Take

The Spot
Wilde has anchored Lakeview East since 2007, an Irish-owned bar and restaurant built for lingering rather than rushing through. The space layers a couple of distinct moods under one roof: two antique Brunswick bars for evening drinks, a library room with a fireplace for cozier nights, and a sidewalk patio that opens up for warmer-weather brunch.

The menu sticks to Irish-American comfort food — a Blackened Chicken Wrap, Fish & Chips, the Wilde Burger, and Key Lime Pie among the regulars, with a mac and cheese that's developed its own following. Gluten-free diners are well accounted for on the menu, and the bar program pulls its own weight with a solid cocktail list alongside the beer selection. Catering rounds things out with pot pies, wings, meatloaf, and salads for private events.

The Infatuation rated Wilde a 7/10.
