  • Ambiance /aesthetics of the restaurant are average at best; it lacks elegance and distinction. That is not a problem of course if food and service are outstanding, but that is not the case here. The service was adequate but our waiter was not knowledgeable about the menu (or food and beverages in general) and hence unable to make useful recommendations. If he was still in training, one would expect him to be accompanied by a more seasoned colleague - that would be the norm for a restaurant serving fare in this price range. One of our party ordered the sea bass (after reading rave reviews about it here on Yelp) and although it was served on top of a tasty broth, the fish itself was completely flavorless. The chef would be wise to pour that broth over the fish while cooking. The lobster bisque was highly mediocre (for a great lobster bisque, try A Different Pointe of View at Pointe Hilton), and the blue cheese in both the olives in my martini (brought to the table the first time with a lemon twist by the way, even though the cocktail menu specifically listed it as a blue-cheese stuffed olive martini) and as well on the wedge salad, was simply too pungent. Cheese that intense destroys enjoyment of other flavors. What can be done with blue cheese that is overpowering? Mix it with a milder cheese. But our overall impression was that no one is tasting the food before sending it out at Wildfish. And clearly no one is taking the time to fully develop the wait staff. * A note again regarding our waiter and the cocktails at this restaurant... Our server had clearly received little to no training and lacked even a basic familiarity with fine dining concepts. He actually offered to leave the martini with the lemon twist at our table and simply return with olives. And I had ordered it "slightly dirty!" LOL! Worse: the martini he did bring back, while bearing the correct garnish, was among the worst blue cheese olive martinis I have ever tasted. I will say that the lobster tail was good for Phoenix (difficult to find truly sweet, tender lobster here) but that alone is not enough to compensate for the myriad issues we experienced. For the price, I can't recommend this restaurant.
