My boyfriend and I went for lunch and for $25 you get an appetizer and entree and it is so worth the price! Everything was absolutely delicious and they served generous portions. The Brussel Sprouts Tacos and Tubetti Pasta were outstanding and the Lavender Sky cocktail was absolutely delicious. It is a great lunch spot!

Had an awesome time dining at The Wilson. My server’s name was Gerardo, and he was very attentive and helpful. I ended up ordering the espresso wings (with buffalo) and the brussel sprout tacos. Both were phenomenal. The chili on the brussel sprout tacos was the cherry on top!<br><br>For cocktails I enjoyed their passionfruit margarita (per Gerardo’s amazing recommendation), and a glass of Albariño. It’s rare that a restaurant has this wine so I was super happy about that. As for the margarita- 10/10. I’m a passionfruit kind of girl so I would def reorder this when I come back.<br><br>All in all, it was a great experience. Good music, good food, amazing service. If you ever come by, try to snag a seat in Gerardo’s section!

Went here specifically so I could bring my pup, and we had such a nice time! She loved the dog biscuit so much, and she doesn’t eat biscuits/cookies usually. The space was comfy and pretty. Service was friendly and accommodating. Our human food was great too.

I had an absolutely impeccable experience at the restaurant. From the moment we arrived, we were welcomed with very attentive service.<br><br>The food was simply exceptional, beautifully presented and delicious.<br><br>But the highlight of the evening was undoubtedly the service. Carlos was extraordinary, attentive, friendly, and extremely professional. He was very patient with our English, which made communication much easier and made us feel far more comfortable throughout the entire experience.<br><br>He made sure everything was perfect at all times, with a light and very welcoming energy.<br><br>Karla also deserves all the praise, equally kind, efficient, and always with a smile, contributing to making the experience even more special.<br><br>And to make everything even more memorable, they even sang happy birthday to my boyfriend, creating a unique and very emotional moment that we will cherish.<br><br>It’s rare to find service so well aligned with the excellence of the cuisine. We left truly delighted and looking forward to coming back.<br><br>Congratulations to the entire team, especially Carlos and Karla, for providing such an impeccable evening.

We were in NY for just few days and wanted to have a nice dinner, we traveled with our fur baby Mocca, a miniature Dachshund and chose this restaurant because they were pet friendly. What an excellent choice. Starting with the food: really good, well cooked, and tasty. My husband ordered a burger and I ordered a Cobb salad. They have a dog menu with wonderful options. Ambiance: excellent, smelled good in the whole restaurant, great music and our host Brandon deserves all the stars. He was attentive, not only with us but Mocca also. Great recommendations, and really nice. We wanted to come back but it was not possible because of our schedule but we will do it for sure! Highly recommended!

Response from the owner

Thank you, María Esther, for sharing your delightful experience with us! We're thrilled to hear that you, your husband, and Mocca enjoyed your visit. It's wonderful to know that the food, ambiance, and service met your expectations. Brandon will be pleased to hear your kind words. We look forward to welcoming you all back on your next trip to NY. <br><br>Cheers, Stephen

Cute location for a celebratory brunch in NOMAD. As a vegan, it was easy to modify some of the dishes to meet my dietary preferance. Nice vibes. The service was lacking, server nice but long wait time between being seated and putting in a drink order, asked for avocado to substitute blue cheese they did not give avocado but charged for it, had to fix receipt, etc. Would come back though, liked the maple dijon dressing and general ambiance

Response from the owner

Lynette,<br><br>Thank you for sharing your experience with us. I'm glad to hear you enjoyed the ambiance and found our location suitable for your celebratory brunch. I apologize for the service issues you encountered, including the wait time and the mix-up with your order. We appreciate your feedback and will work on improving these aspects. It's great to know you liked the maple dijon dressing, and we look forward to welcoming you back soon.<br><br>Cheers, Stephen

My family and our friends had an amazing time at The Wilson. We had friends from DC who came to NYC for a weekend visit and stayed at InnSide. We visited with the intention of going out into the city but had such a good time getting apps at the bar that we stayed the entire time at The Wilson.<br><br>Our server, Carlos, was incredible. The food was delicious too! Got the Steak Frites but substituted the fries for the delicious apple mustard brussel sprouts because we had truffle parm fries for apps. I was blown away at how perfectly done my medium rare NY strip was & how well the small drizzling of sauce complimented the beef. My friend got pasta bolognese & let me have a bit. Was tasty! Two in our group ordered burgers & gave them high marks. (Also tried a bite of one of the burgers and it too was mighty tasty.) We stayed for five hours & thoroughly enjoyed our time. We will recommend and will be back!

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️<br>Such a great spot at The Wilson Hotel—one of those places that never disappoints. Amazing cocktails, a full bar, and a solid happy hour menu from 3–6 PM on weekdays 🍹🍴<br><br>The staff are incredibly friendly and welcoming, which makes the experience even better. And here’s the cool part: when you walk past the restroom area, you’ll discover a hidden downtown-style private bar and event space 🤫✨—perfect for any occasion, from intimate gatherings to private celebrations.<br><br>I stop by almost every week, and bartender Luis always makes sure my guests and I have an incredible time. Consistent vibes, great drinks, and top-tier hospitality every single visit. Highly recommend 🙌🍸✨🎉<br><br>#TheWilsonHotel #HiddenGem #GreatCocktails #FullBar<br>#HappyHourNYC #NYCBars #PrivateEventSpace<br>#WeeklySpot #FriendlyStaff #Cheers

The location looks really nice. We sat with our dog on the covered patio which feels like part of the inside. Overall, the entire restaurant looks really nice. The Service is okay/good, the servers are well informed about food allergies, but sometimes an order goes missing. The food itself looks good for most of the time, but my gluten-free egg Florentine was not worth it, the portion was way too small. The gluten-free avocado toast looked really boring on the plate, the presentation was not good period.

Response from the owner

Sven, Thank you for sharing your feedback. I'm glad to hear you enjoyed the ambiance and appreciated our staff's knowledge about food allergies. However, I'm sorry to learn about the issues with your order and the presentation of your meal. Your comments are valuable, and we'll use them to improve our service and food quality. If you have any further feedback, feel free to reach out to us at info@igchospitality.com. Cheers, Stephen
