The Wilson NYC Restaurant rocks! I recently met a girlfriend there. The Wilson is a new restaurant located at 132 West 27th Street between 6th and 7th Avenues.

I can’t say enough good things about this restaurant. The food and service were excellent. The outside area was dog-friendly and spacious. Seating is available in the atrium or inside the main restaurant. Prices were fair for the location and cuisine.

Here is the outside atrium part and the inside bar area.

So, all in all, The Wilson serves classic interpretations of high-quality northeastern types of food.

What to order?

I selected the Brick Chicken with lemon and cherry peppers. My girlfriend and I decided to split the dish because our lovely waitress said that it was a large portion.

It was fabulous. I have eaten chicken dishes in many restaurants, but this ranks as one of the best-prepared recipes I have ever eaten. The flavoring of the lemon and the cherry peppers was divine.

The chicken dish was a la carte, so we ordered two sides–whipped mashed potatoes with roasted garlic and broccolini with garlic and Evoo (extra virgin olive oil).

These two sides were outstanding!

I decided on dessert because one seemed too good not to try. It was the Pistachio Olive Cake with orange marmalade topped with a scoop of vanilla ice cream.

It was incredibly delicious, like nothing I have ever tasted! I saved some for breakfast the next morning.

I can’t recommend this restaurant enough. It’s comfortable and relaxing, has great service, and serves excellent food.

It has my thumbs up! Try it when in the area.
