This place was extremely cute. The drinks were phenomenal and the food was really good as well. Definitely exceeded expectations. I missed the flowers by a few days but it was still super cute. Found out each drink has a story behind it as well. Will definitely be going back and I highly recommend to everyone.

I can't even begin to express how incredible my bridal shower was at Oscar Wilde! From the moment I walked in, I was greeted by the warmest hostess who was ready for us with our reserved table all set up. The decorations were absolutely stunning, creating a dreamlike atmosphere that took my breath away. Even though a few guests arrived late, the staff went above and beyond to make sure we enjoyed every moment without feeling rushed. The food was simply mouthwatering, the drinks were fabulous, and the overall ambiance was unforgettable! What an amazing experience!

Oscar Wilde is pure wow from the very first second! I couldn’t even realize how I went from everyday life straight into a fairytale so quickly. The service is fast and attentive. The cocktails are pure magic — I’ve never tried anything like them before. Each one is unique, with its own flavor and presentation. We ordered different ones and tasted each other’s — absolutely incredible! A perfect place to spend time with friends or simply escape the daily routine.

I have been wanting to come here for a while, but never have enough time. I finally had a little time to stop in with a friend for a few cocktails. Awesome atmosphere and excellent service. Pablo and Trevor made amazing drinks and great conversation. The dining menu looked great too. Definitely coming back to try some of the food next time! Thanks again!

My friend and I attended the Pride drag brunch on Sunday and we had an amazing time! The ambience was surreal and so beautiful. Service was great, especially during such a busy event. Drinks and food were equally on par, the Queen of Hearts cocktail was delicious and refreshing while the fries were crisp and hot! Superb experience overall, will definitely be coming back. Truly unique!!

I’d love to come back to this place for its atmosphere. The drinks are good. I recommend the writer’s quill. By dinner time the music got too loud that we can hardly hear from the other side of the table. However besides that this bar is great

I always review great places and this one hit on all cylinders. Decor was impressive and better yet the food was flavorful with good portions sizes. Had 2 separate drinks completely an experience on it own. The food took it's time and unique in flavor you can tell they took pride in what they do also for New York prices very decent. We will definitely be back

The food was really good, and the atmosphere was just insane — so many beautiful details, antiques everywhere, and little quotes from Oscar Wilde scattered around (which I loved). Definitely a cool spot to grab a bite. I love that they change themes all the time: one time it was Alice in Wonderland, Chinese new year and Christmas. So lovely. Bar attendant even gave me his hat to try on, very friendly!
