Wildair

Creative and eclectic small plate menu -- with reasonably sized plates -- that has a vibe and wine menu perfect for a date. Great vibe. The poached tuna , beef tartar , and gem lettuce salad all ????.

Unique wines , warm bread and olive oil , romaine lettuces with pistachios , potato darphin , uni, and jalapeño , wagyu streak for two, chocolate hazelnut tart . ????

The tartare transcends its spare description: grated horseradish electrifies the beef and cheese . Also look to the potato Darphin , potato cake served in hefty wedges & covered in uni & jalapeño slices Read more

The wine selection is one of my favorites in the whole city – lots of interesting natural and biodynamic wines from around the world. The food is incredible. This is a special place.

Wildair has potato darphin (i.e. hashbrowns ) topped with uni and jalapeño is so silky, earthy, and spicy , that one might expect to see it on the ubiquitous steakhouse menu of the future. Read more

The mille feuille was bigger than I thought- it’s for sharing. The shaved salt in the caramel made it special

Options here come a la carte. There's toast with little neck clams , lardo , and spinach ; beef tartare with smoked cheddar and chestnuts ; radishes with seaweed butter; and a steak for two. Read more

whoa! Hype is real. Didn't love contra but the small plates here are all great and it's pretty damn cheap . Favs: pork rilette, tuna , beef carpaccio , squid ....honestly everything was strong

We had the crispy grain salad , little gem lettuce w/ pistachio , corn & fennel salad , bass crudo , beef tartare , fried squid , chocolate hazelnut tart , & panna cotta ...& all were phenomenal. Mind blown.

Whether it's filled with buckwheat , chocolate hazelnut , or peanuts and chocolate (below), the salty, rich tart strikes the perfect balance every time. Read more

Start with the beef tartare , persimmon & stracciatella , and the bread & oil. Wagyu steak for 2 is cooked sous-vide, then perfectly seared off. Can't really go wrong here.

Lively vibe and delicious scallop crudo . Definitely get the bread . Felt it was a bit hyped but still a good meal. Tartare and spicy tuna toast were pretty good as well .

Steak tartar , pork milanese and crispy grains were delicious. Small plates , small restaurant - go w/ 1 other person and share everything. Radish dish is worth skipping.

Squid is great - the mint basil is a great touch, chicken for two is massive. Watch out for the shishito peppers , they'll either be sweet and smoky or a burning legion in your mouth.

An affordable share-plates analogue to a spendier tasting menu venue. Imagine beef tartare with pimenton oil, smoked cheddar , horseradish , and buckwheat groats. You dig?

Lovely wine bar from the folks at Contra. Amazing wine list and great small eats. My favs were scallop crudo , fried squid , shrimp , rhubarb granita !

Everything was great! Contra's sister restaurant delivers on quality and fresh dishes with seasonal ingredients

Beef tartar and fried squid were standout dishes (and an absolute must). Everything from décor to the food was so well thought out.

Amazing place, their small plates food is great, natural wine is fantastic, staff is super friendly and still if you can go there only for their bread and olive oil . Soooo good.

Savor every bite of the beef tartar and the fried squid (the fried lemon with the squid was good enough to make you cry). Cool ambiance, excellent staff , and spectacular food.

Prime wine selection . Pair it up with their amazing beef tartar , bread and lettuces. Finally, end with a hazelnut tart !

Tuna tartare and bread and olive oil are both great. Did not like the fried squid !! Not a great vibe / too many people squished together.

Such a cool little spot. The food is unique and inventive and tastes great. Best part is the price tag per dish is low so you can try a lot.

They’re completely in control of their menu. The wagyu tartare is for the ages.

Totally lived up to the Conde Naste traveler hype, especially the corn , squid and tuna toast . Absolutely delish, and wine recommendations were winners too. Loved it!

Amazing organic wines and great selection of out of the ordinary wines . The food is very tasty, small portions tapas style . Love it!!

The food is so fresh.. farm to table . The steak is ???? you have to have both desserts ( hazelnut chocolate and the raspberry cream)

For a fancy night try the tartare , fried squid , potato darphin , and of course pair it with some fine wine .

The menu changes all the time but if on, poached tuna was crazy and vanilla panna cotta was decadent (especially if the weather is warm)

Sourdough , biscuits , all the veggie dishes , and that lobster...the wine list is an interesting mix.

Witness a pancake of beef tartare tangled with Cheddar cheese and chestnuts , and a “potato Darphin ” with uni and jalapeño , a latke in the grips of a hallucination. Read more

Beef tartar , radish and butter, shishito peppers , bread and olive oil , and scallops ! Delicious! Definitely worth the wait

Between the grain salad , soft-shell crab , pork milanese, and hazelnut tart , nothing blew us away.

beef tartar , fried squid , mackeral, and duck were all AMAZING! very cool, laid back , clean atmosphere. loved it.

Wildair is more low-pressure, set with sardine-packed bar tables, a fuzzy midaughts soundtrack and neighborhood affability. Read more

The scallop crudo and hazelnut tart were the highlights of our meal.

Distinctive, modern, fairly-priced food. Well-informed service. Unusual wines by the glass. Cramped, kind of drab and a bit uncomfortable. Not quite the full package for me but I'll probably return!

Drink weird wine and order the bread . (FWIW I'm totally against paying for bread , but this is definitely worth it)

I had the best wine I've ever had here, and some of the most creative, yet simple, food. Read more

Tasty small plates and wine . A bit pricey and space is super small, but great food. Would not recommend for a large group.

Uni darphin made the Zagat list for "10 Best Things We Ate in 2015 in NYC".

Liked everything but didn’t love anything
