    We were celebrating a special event. Incredible attention to detail and on top of everything. Our server, either Brandon or Andrew (hopefully), was amazing. Will be back in the future when showing friends around town or looking to celebrate something.

    Excellent service (best I’ve had in a long time!) - cool and eclectic ambiance - it was loud but most of that was due to the planes overhead (which I happen to love). Menu is limited in scope but food is excellent. Well worth the visit - we will be back!

    What a great idea! The carousel bar is amazing, the paintings are entertaining and the food and drinks are worth checking out! We will come back for brunch soon.

    Great ambiance, the food was very good. We decided on the grilled shrimp, beef toast and the veggie dip all three were so good and tasty. Definitely will come back.

    What a great experience at Wilma’s carousel bar! Me and my husband were celebrating our 11th anniversary and they couldn’t have made it better! Love the cute ambience and the drinks were fresh on point!
