Outstanding first stop on our NYC weekend. Razor clams, an unreal sea urchin dish over a crispy potato cake, and a perfectly cooked steak with beef-fat fries that puts most steakhouses to shame — every plate was creative and executed flawlessly. Chocolate tart and a honey sundae to finish, with a killer natural wine list. Service was impeccable and chef-owner Jeremiah Stone is a perfect host. One of the best meals I've had in years. Don't walk to the Lower East Side — run.
We had such high hopes for Wildair but it was so disappointing. While some of the dishes were decent, none were mind blowing. The razor clams were spoiled and everything after that course felt impossible to enjoy. Staff was eating dinner in a very visible spot in the front of the restaurant and for this price point I hope management addresses this and has them go to a more private area to do this in the future or wait until after dinner service has ended.

So sorry to hear that, we really tried to make your experience better after you didn’t like the clams, so sorry we didn’t meet the mark but we are hoping we can make it out to you on a different visit
