Wild Child - St. Petersburg (FL)

5 /5 Jonathan Lucero McKinney: Everything from the drinks to the appetizers to the main course was right on the money! The street corn croquettes were crispy, creamy and had a garnish of cheese and cilantro with peppers and a beautiful creamy smoky sauce underneath that made it the perfect bite! Fish tacos were perfectly crispy with a perfect amount of slaw and tartar! Korean fried chicken had well balanced flavors, and not too messy to eat! Best tasting burger I’ve had in a while, paired with the perfectly seasoned fries, and this was a meal to remember! Takeaways: ⭐️every bite was beautifully balanced ⭐️ you can make a meal out of apps alone ⭐️ go with friends so you can try what they get

5 /5 Becky Imbeault: The food is absolutely delicious!!!! Very well thought out dishes prepared to perfection!!! We will definitely be back! Do yourself a favor and save room for dessert…. The tres leches is to DIE FOR. You don’t find food this eclectic and unique anywhere else. This place should have a Michelin star! Only thing I would suggest is some type of uniform for the waiters. I couldn’t tell our waiter apart from the guests. Even if it’s just the shirt that says the company name, it would be helpful. Staff is super friendly too!

5 /5 Alivia Gieseke: We called and were able to get a last minute reservation! I’m visiting from Ohio and this restaurant is tops. I will come back every time! I had the Ceviche and we shared the mushroom dumplings! I could easily drink the dashi the dumplings! Both were amazing. Ceviche was refreshing and the flavors were complex and beautiful. Also cocktails were perfection! Thank you!

5 /5 Jennifer Anderson: Wild Child is an adorable little neighborhood gem! It’s also absolutely delicious - don’t sleep on the crispy Brussels sprouts starter. The flavor combo is out of this world! I enjoyed the Found Weekend non-alcoholic drink; watermelon, lime, and mint make it refreshing and it isn’t sweet, thank goodness. Glad to see thoughtful non-alc options on the menu! Highly recommend the Korean fried chicken sandwich and the mushroom paella as entrees. The staff is friendly and attentive and the vibe is great!

5 /5 Will Glass: Wild Child is legit as an f&b operation because they change things up from the norm by offering an eclectic and seasonally rotating menu. The skill of the culinary team is on full display across various styles of dishes. The cocktail selection was solid too and the service informative and unobstrusive. Starters were a little gem salad, crab louie salad, tuna tataki and roaster garnet yams with carrott romanesco - the later of which was the best dish of the night and so unique. Mains were the schnitzel and green curry corvina which our waiter pointed out as the substitution for snapper that night. Drinks were Tokyo Orchard, Mezcalita and The Shaman highlighted on the menu photo. Reservations are required here through Resy and you may be seated inside or out. No televisions here (as an fyi) which we welcomed. There is a large bar outside and small bar inside in additon to a smaller concept in the adjacent space that is run out of the same kitchen called Slim Charmer. We wrote a review on this spot a few days prior.
