Reviews for Cactus Rose Restaurant & Tequila Bar in Wilton, CT
Over priced and terrible service. Wait staff and management don't know how to treat or service customers properly. Also way too... expensive drink and food especially with small pours and portions. I'd stick to Red Rooster and Marley's in Wilton Center thanthis place! Read more
After looking at their Instagram page I was VERY excited to try this restaurant. Sadly, our server made this experience very... bad. Jordan who happened to be the bartender and also our server was very over confident and not very friendly. Our drinks tookforever and they were made incorrectly not once but twice. Our food order also came in wrong. He then started to not come backto our table and then asked other servers to come up to us. The other servers were very kind and friendly. Overall our food wasgreat but, it?s unfortunate how a server can ruin your experience. I hope no one has to go through this when you try thisrestaurant. Read more
We were seated quickly. Was greeted by our waiter and ordered drinks and appetizers. I ordered the white sangria. Honestly it... tasted like peach purée and water, I hardly tasted any alcohol. We ordered dinner from our waiter and that was the last time wesaw him. Someone else dropped off our food. No came to fill up our drinks throughout our meal or ask if we needed anything else.When we were finished our waiter finally came back and that was only after I started to stand up to find him. It was to bringour check. The food was good but I?ve had the same for way less. The restaurant maybe had a total of 10 tables full. They werenot busy enough for the poor service that was provided.

Decent entrees. A bit expensive to say the least. Had the paella, which was good, but came in a modest size serving. Not... worth $37 in my opinion. Ordered seared shrimp for appetizer. $14 for four shrimp. Not a place to dine if you are on abudget. Reason for three stars is that Hospitality was very good. Service top notch. They really made the customer apriority. Read more
Except for the guacamole, I was so disappointed because this was a restaurant that I used to eat at frequently and loved. The... food was so heavily salted that I couldn?t enjoy the actual flavor of the food itself. Also the staff was not very accommodatingin terms of gluten free options or changes in any way. I have to take this one off my list of favorites sadly. Read more
Great place to celebrate our anniversary as we come year after year. Nice to see familiar faces as we enter...and to be... remembered where we usually sit. We plan to stay awhile enjoying our caipirinhas and appetizers. There are a variety of eatsto choose from. Their photos on the menu really help you make the choice of what you see. Chorizo flatbread, blisteredpeppers, and guacamole with corn and bacon is a good warmup. We love their steamed mussels with their cream sauce and thesangrita seafood cocktail, but we come for their seared wild Portuguese octopus. Yummy and tender. Tenderloin tacos are a goodone to share for three. Keep it spicy with a Thorny Rose or Spicy Pepino cocktail. A shot of tequila is a must at this tequilabar. Then have a dessert with some coffee. Then the night is complete with some cotton candy. Read more
Over the summer this restaurant is always packed so naturally we had tried many times to come but were not able to due to the... amount of restrictions in place due to the pandemic. We finally were able to make our way over just a couple of weeks ago andwhile the service was great the food was not what we were expecting. The appetizers were great, we honestly feel as though wecould have just had that and been satisfied. But the main entrees were not very authentic nor were they very...tasty. Were theybad? No not at all. But in comparison to the appetizers, they fell short. The drinks were good and the complementary cottoncandy is always a nice way to end the night. The prices are very high. Read more
Went there for dinner had the Mahi-mahi special, def worth ordering. Guacamole was nothing to write about. Service was great and... we requested to move midway, they were very accommodating. Does get crowded. Read more
