Have 1 drink, then LEAVE! – I was recently there on a Saturday night to celebrate a friend's birthday. First, the positives...we sat in the very charming outdoor garden area and the service was pretty good. That's about it for this paragraph. The food...terrible! Everything was loaded with salt and I must have drank 5 cups of water with my meal. I ordered the filet (fyi - the smallest "8 oz" steak I've ever ordered)...it was dry, definitely not "medium", and tasted like it was sprayed with some sort of artificial smoky flavo... read more
Wilshire Wilshire has great indoor and outdoor spaces. The outdoor terraces have beautiful fireplaces. The outdoor area has a special ambiance both for lunch and dinner. They have great drinks and good salads.
My new favorite restaurant – I went to the Wilshire recently with a large group and have an amazing experience. We were promptly seated, our waiter was knowledgeable about the menu and offered us suggestions. As far as appetizers go, the Hamachi is unbelievable and the Scallops were really good as well. I had the Braised Short Rib for dinner and it was so tender that I did not use my knife to cut it. They have a Red Snapper that they lightly flour and fry (the whole fish) and the presentation is a definite conversation piece... read more
So romantic, Perfect spot for Valentine's !! – I'm surprised to see that other reviewers were unhappy with Wilshire's service. I was really satisfied. Service was great, the food delicious and the atmosphere is what made me come back on valentine's day. On Valentine's Wilshire looked beautiful, the candles, fire place, cozy patio, goldfish pond make it such a hidden romantic-zen place, if you will. I had the duck confit and green bean salad, it was so delicious! I also got seconds on white wine Pinot Grigio glass. Dessert wa... read more
Not bad as a last choice... – I would not recommend choosing this restaurant over many of the others that cost about the same - this is after all, an expensive restaurant. If a couple wants to have appetizers, drinks, desert, etc. - then you can bet that the bill will be over $100 - and if I am going to spend over $100 on dinner, then I want it to be special. This is not a very special place in my opinion. The crowd is pretentious and homogeneous. The menu is very blah (reminds me of those steak houses, where you have to ord... read more
Nice Service - just aveage food and wine – Our experience at Wilshire was average when you consider the value. The products, Black Cod, Heritage Pork Chop, Prawns, Hamachi were good but the execution came up short as all of items were served luke warm and a couple were poorly seasoned (over salted) and menu prep lacked imagination. Food was also slow coming out of the kitchen. My impression is that Wilshire is trying to be a big league restaurant with minor league talent...ala Miami Dolphins. We had a couple of $13.00 a glas... read more
delicious food and drinks, service less then stellar – The decor is beautiful, and I had a very tasty and unique drink made from Ketel Citron with freshly crushed ginger and mint. WOW! My friend and I wandered through, looking the place over and opted for the rear bar over a real table. Despite asking the first person we saw if we could seat ourselves and if food was served in the bar (yes), we sat there for 10 minutes before we were approached and then told that the bar menu was available, but the full kicthen closed in 5 m... read more
Classic – Was reading this site for the first time and was completely shocked at the number of reviewers claiming to be me(Noah Rosen, ex-chef de cuisine of Wilshire). There are alot of bitter people out there, for what reason I have no idea. So funny. One thing is for sure, I've got better things to do than post ill reviews on this site i.e. working on my own future project and of course masterbation. Please stop claiming to be me and get on with your own life.
City Search is no longer a reliable source for information – Clearly the extremes in reviews reflect disgruntled former employees rating this fine establishment so low. Therefore we can only conclude that this is no longer a reliable place to gather information as they clearly do not monitor this website. Too bad.
