"Natasha Price and Tatiana Ettensberger never really imagined being "the British restaurant" in Los Angeles. Three months after opening their neighborhood bistro-cafe in Los Feliz, the childhood friends-turned-business partners are the grateful, extremely busy owners of one of the city's hardest-to-get-into new restaurants. During evening service, would-be diners arrive right before 5 p.m. in hopes of scoring one of the tables held for walk-ins, while online reservations - released every two weeks at midnight - are snatched up almost instantly."
"By night, the restaurant offers a rustic, meat-heavy menu that draws heavily upon the British culinary canon with a deconstructed take on fish and chips (battered skate and salt-and-vinegar fries get sold separately), a rotating meat pie for two, and sticky toffee pudding. In the daytime, Wilde's also serves a perfectly crumbly scone, pork sausage rolls, and a focaccia-based bacon bap, one of the various terms for breakfast sandwich used in the United Kingdom."
Natasha Price and Tatiana Ettensberger opened a neighborhood bistro-cafe in Los Feliz that quickly became one of Los Angeles's hardest-to-get-into new restaurants. Evenings see hopeful walk-ins arriving before 5 p.m. to claim held tables while online reservations released biweekly at midnight sell out immediately. Night service presents a rustic, meat-heavy menu drawing on British culinary traditions, including a deconstructed fish-and-chips, rotating meat pie for two, and sticky toffee pudding. Daytime offerings include crumbly scones, pork sausage rolls, and a focaccia-based bacon bap. The beverage program emphasizes natural wine, and the menu frames California cuisine with a distinct English through line rather than mimicking a British pub.
