Wild Kitchen by Chef Isgut at El Mañanero

Service, food, everything was excellent and delicious 100% recommended.

Great food, awesome service. Close to the airport so nice place to pop in before your flight. Street is a bit busy but they do have a couple of dedicated parking spot.

Excellent food and the very good waitress! It wasn't very full when we were there, but I could see how it could be crowded during prime time!

What a wonderful surprise! Been a quiet fan of Chef Isgut for a while - so we were excited that on a quiet 4th July lunch they were able to fit us in. The service from the opening of the door was top notch, not overbearing, kind, warm, welcoming and knowledgeable.Our server spoke a perfect English (phew!, as we are still learning local Spanish) Absolutely you have to try the Grapefruit Mimosa - so tasty and much better than the traditional. Duck is my absolute favorite main dish and as this may have been the best duck dish I have had in the USA mainland or island in the past 10 years and that is a big call, I've eaten duck around the world and at Michelin Star restaurants stateside that haven't been this good. LOVED it!! Fresh oysters, were sweet and the fermented hot sauce is to die for - if they could bottle it I would take it home. The smash burger, had great flavor - but with the wagu and kangaroo mix (I'm Australian, so have cooked and eaten my fair share of kangaroo and it should NEVER be cooked past medium rare) a traditional thicker burger patty would be better served to highlight the soft texture of the meats, but still a great smash burger. Although we were stuffed, we opted for the 'three milks' homemade cake - WOW! That was so delicious. This kitchen is very underrated - its an absolute must when you visit and Chef Isgut, kudos to you! You dish creativity, fine detail and subtle flavors show you have travelled the world and taken the best of each country and rolled it into your menu. And that fermented hot sauce - is to die for!!

I finally had the chance to visit Wild Kitchen after hearing so many great things about the food and overall dining experience, and I can definitely see why it's so highly rated in several areas. First, the service was excellent. My server, Aisha, was attentive, friendly, and made sure I had everything I needed throughout my meal. The atmosphere was another highlight—relaxing, comfortable, and complemented by great music that made for an enjoyable evening. The only downside before even walking in was the parking. Street parking is limited, and there isn't a dedicated parking lot. They do offer valet service, which helps, but it's something to be aware of if you're visiting during busier hours. I arrived around 5:30 p.m., so I was able to find parking without much trouble. I originally planned to order the sautéed shrimp, but I learned it comes with only six shrimp for around $32, and sides are ordered separately (most are about $12, with some premium options costing more). Instead, I ordered the tempura chicken sandwich, but they were out of chicken, so I substituted the tempura snapper. Unfortunately, this was the biggest disappointment of the meal. The bread was fresh, the tomatoes and lettuce were crisp, and the sauce was delicious. However, the fish itself didn't meet my expectations. I was expecting a fresh snapper fillet, but it reminded me more of a heavily breaded frozen fish patty. The coating was very thick, oily, and overwhelmed the fish, which had very little flavor. I ended up removing most of the breading just to taste the fish, but even then it was fairly bland. The seasoned fries were very good, and the real standout of the meal was the pumpkin and coconut soup. It was absolutely divine and worth every penny. I'd happily return just for a bowl of that. I also ordered the Flower Mule. The flavor was excellent, but the serving felt quite small for a $12 cocktail. I would have loved either a larger traditional mule mug or simply a slightly taller pour to better enjoy the drink. One thoughtful touch I appreciated was the complimentary chilled water served at the table. Overall, Wild Kitchen delivered exceptional service, a welcoming atmosphere, and one of the best pumpkin and coconut soups I've had. While the tempura snapper wasn't for me, I would absolutely return to explore more of the menu. Hopefully next time I'll have a better experience with the entrée, because the hospitality and ambiance definitely make it a place worth visiting.

My experience at this restaurant was very disappointing. The service left much to be desired, and the staff's attitude wasn't the best. Furthermore, the food was bad. What bothered us most was that one person in our group sent their drink back because they didn't like it—they barely finished it—and yet they insisted on charging us for it. I think they could have handled the situation with more consideration and offered better customer service. Unfortunately, due to the quality of service and the overall experience, I wouldn't return or recommend it. Besides that, they don't seem to care about customer opinions at all.

This was a lovely experience through and through. The food and cocktails were delicious and extremely well crafted. The service was excellent. We can’t wait to come visit again or hopefully see you in NY for a pop up!

Excellent staff and service. A flavor worth repeating 😋
