The Wildemount

Firstly, the food was great. The choices of some obscure proteins was very pleasant to see from ostrich to wild elk. The menu was very thoughtfully curated. Only knock for the night was the service, walking in we stood there for a good 5-6 minutes and no one was even visible that worked there. And there was a few moments throughout after being sat down we said amongst ourselves where is the server and she was no where to be seen. Other than that it was an amazing experience and will go back. Also to note the establishment wasn’t busy in reference to the server going MIA a few times.

Hands down the best dinner we have had in Aiken; lived here 2 years and tried everything! Many great restaurants but nothing compares to Wildemont. Impeccable food, every bite was outstanding. Beautiful intimate restaurant, wonderful staff. The food was creative, delicious, fresh and felt personally made for us. The chef pays attention to unique flavors and gorgeous plates and presentation. Thank you for an outstanding experience. Can't wait to come again. Oh you must try the special mushroom caps, scallops, melt in your mouth salmon. It's the sauces that add the special something. The peach triple cheesecake is pure Heaven.

I booked a table in advance for my husbands birthday and everything was super disappointing! We were so excited to finally try this place because the menu is very intriguing, but that’s all this place is, intrigue. We ordered the scallops appetizer and for the price and receiving 3 small scallops it was very unimpressive, but was probably the best thing from our entire meal. My husband was recommended the elk chop and he asked multiple times if it was tough and the response was no they are farm raised elk blah blah blah. He requested it to be cooked medium but it came out raw and very tough after an extremely long wait for the main course. I seriously would like to know what took so long when the food wasn’t even cooked to temp. We didnt bother sending it back when really we should have because it was atrocious and expensive. I ordered the short rib tomahawk that comes with mashed potatoes and gravy. Well the short rib was cooked well but that’s all that was good about this dish. The gravy was not on the mashed potatoes as I think any person would believe. It was a strange sweet gravy on the tomahawk and it did not pair well. The service was okay when we first arrived but then the attention we received was minimal at best. Spent a lot of money for my husbands birthday dinner for poor service and pretentious food that left us hungry.

Our 1st time tonight. It was an amazing dinner service. The food quality was incredible and our service was top notch. Thank you Payton & Chefs!!! We will return so we can clip off some more wonderful looking menu items. 😋

Wonderful dinner for 6! Charming atmosphere with professional service! Food was over-the-top.
