Wisteria

The place is perfect for any occasion. The food is amazing, and so flavorful. The ambiance is excellent, relaxed yet fun. The service is very professional. Servers are on top of things! I love it! The location is convenient too!

Pros: food, drink, service, atmosphere

Cons: Im stumped???

Have visited Wisteria a number of times and always enjoy myself there. Generous portions, great flavors and seasonal specials are some of the reasons this is my "go-to" place anytime. Try the scallop appetizer, the chicken entree, of course the lamb, the filet, the desserts...no misses on the menu in my opinion. Even if you go solo, one feels as comfortable at the bar as with a large group.

Pros: Great wine list, Attentive and informed wait staff

Cons: Wish they offered Brunch

Posted 10/14/09

My wife and I arrived with a reservation but wasn't needed on a monday and were seated promptly. Our apps and salad were so-so, crab bisque wasn't as good as my mom's from home in Louisiana( i think i'll get scallops next time). However my mom would be upset to hear that the fried chicken, bacon braised greens!!!, corn pudding and bread pudding absolutely put her's to shame. My wife had the beef tenderloin with mac and cheese, also delicious. We had a nice wine pairing and the portioning was thoughtful, we left full and satisifed. Will go again!

Pros: Excellent service, great seasonal food

Cons: Cramped at our table by the window

Posted 10/12/09

good wine list. enjoyed the cocktails. service is slow, uninterested and with an attitude and who needs that?
I tried it several times to be sure and want to support it as I live in Inman, but it just does not deliver the quality it charges for and I do like their sister, pozole

Pros: wine

Cons: prices, service

Posted 10/09/09

Always great when we visit wisteria. Great food and service. a "must" in atlanta

Pros: organic garden martini, skate wing to name a couple

Cons: none

Posted 10/06/09

I love this place! Great fried chicken. Chef Jason rocks!

Pros: Great service, amazing food

Cons: None

This is THE absolute best restaurant in Atlanta, hands down. From the moment you walk in the door, to the moment that last taste of dessert smacks your lips, it is nothing short of perfection.

The wait staff are knowledgeable about the food, the ingredients, etc. Their service skills are impeccable and they run the place like a well-oiled machine.

I've been to this restaurant many, many times, and will keep coming back.

Thank you, Wisteria!!!!!

Pros: Perfection, from start to finish

Cons: Nada

Posted 09/07/09

local, fun, great food. A lot of people talk about Wisteria in our neighborhood, so i'm glad it's still around and doing well.

Pros: little bar, nice atmosphere

Cons: tiny

Took my wife for dinner on a tuesday nite. Had reservations but not needed. Really like the small and intimate atmosphere. We had the hummus appetizer which was top notch. We actually had it cleared from our table with some left (not like us at all), but felt with so much food coming it would fill us up...Our waitress brought our arugula salad (we ordered one to share) already split on two plates, very thoughtful. The salad was excellent with a few dried onions. My wife and I loved it. Now the fun part - we ordered the skate wing and fried chicken entrees. I was a little hesitant on the skate, but since I saw so many people rate it highly - and the servers endorsement...I took a chance. It was AWESOME. It had a scallop feel and was fibrous, not fishy at all. The grits served with it made the dish. The chicken was delightful, a true southern dish cooked masterfully. I mentioned to the server it was my wifes birthday, and she brought our dessert (3 small dishes - dried cherry tart, chocolate pecan pie and carrot cake) with a lit candle. Great atmosphere, perfect service, timing, and food. The wine list it great, I had white and my wife merlot - both by the glass. Appetizer, salad, 2 entrees, dessert and 3 glasses of wine total - $85. A deal, we will be back - with friends!

Pros: excellent menu, wine list and value priced

Cons: None

Reminds me of a quaint little NYC bistro! Love it!
We sat at the bar the first time we went. It was a weekday and we had no reservation and the place was packed! Our bartender was extremely knowledgeable of the wine list. They offer wine "flights" which was a lot of fun for my girlfriend and I, since we both like different things. The bartender was really helpful in which to pick! Great prices on wine. You can get great wine that is cheaper or splurge if you like!
Then onto the food......!!!!! Calamari is what we ordered! Fabulous! Not chewy like I've had it before. And the seasonal tart! There is nothing I love more than a caramelized onion tart! Only I wish it had blue cheese.....but AWESOME! Dinner was fabulous! What better than the perfect pork tenderloin with the best fall preparation!
I love this place! It feels and tastes like home! Bring a date! So much fun! Or just bring the girls!
By far favorite restaurant in Atlanta!

Posted 12/21/08

Time and again Wisteria has proven itself to be the best restaurant around. After dining there for the millionth time, I thought I'd finally write about it on CitySearch. This place never disappoints. The ambience is elegant but not stuffy and the service is tip-top--always accomodating but never smothering. I love, love, love the beef tenderloin with mac-n-cheese, and my husband can't get enough of the pork tenderloin. I've tried the nightly special a time or two, and they're always delicious. They also have the best mussels in town and an awesome wine list that is varied and well-priced. If you haven't dined at Wisteria, make it a top priority. You won't regret it!

Pros: great service, food, & wine

Cons: can't think of any

Posted 12/17/08

Where do I start! Well me and my wife went to wisteria lastnight and truly had a wonderful time. The wine list was great along with the prices. Our server(Randy) helped us pick out a great bottle. I had the duck and my wife had the lamb and we were soo happy. What I really loved was how they do the dessert samples. If you are trying to decide where to eat this is the place.

Posted 12/14/08

This is a great place to take guests form out of town if you want them to get the feel of neighborhood dining. It's intimate and the food is fresh and delicious. You can't go wrong with their wine list either. Try the scallops and fall in love like we did.

Posted 12/13/08

My husband and I celebrated our 33rd wedding anniversary at Wisteria. It came highly recommended from a coworker. I was completely impressed. The beef tenderloin with mac & cheese was delicious. I forgot to mention the mussels we started with were soo good. My husband had the duck. It might be the best duck I've tasted. It was a very memorable experience and we will be back soon and often. Big thanks to our server Julie who helped us choose the perfect wine with our meals.

Pros: food, service and attitude

Cons: a bit noisy

Posted 12/10/08

I have eaten in many of restaurants throughtout Atlanta and Wisteria is by far the BEST!!! I have tried everything on the menu and have never had a single complaint! To top it off the wine list is awesome and very reasonably priced... When ever I have friends or family come in to town, I always take them to Wisteria! My absolute favorite is the Chicken and collard greens! I do not eat anyone else's collared greens, but Chef Walker knows how to make then perfectly!! My other favoriotes consist of the beef tenderloin with the mac & cheese, the skate and the black-eyed pea hummus. Once you try this cozy and quaint restaurant you will want to continue to go back for more....

Pros: Wine list, great food, awesome service and valet parking

Cons: NA

Posted 12/10/08

Wisteria is my favorite new place to go to not be gouged by the wine lists retail mark up. My husband and I love dining out and trying new food, but most importantly we appreciate a great bargain and a great wine. Well, Wisteria gets my vote on all three categories. GREAT FOOD; we had the sea scallops to share, a wonderful roasted winter beet salad (my god how do some people hate beets?) and both of us couldn't pass up doing our southern interpretation of "surf and turf" which included shrimp and grits, and beef tenderloin served with macaroni and cheese. Our server, the big guy with the beard (sorry, I can't remember his name) was excellent and actually told us his favorites. He also suggested we could close our eyes and point to anything on the menu and we would be very happy. I think he might be right. GREAT WINE; we started off with two glasses of an Austrian Rose' Sparkling wine...amazing. Our waiter then suggested a moderately priced Italian Cabernet/Sangiovese blend. I think our waiter might know us from another life as he asked just three simple questions and was able to suggest the best wine for our budget, tastes, and food. GREAT PRICE; the portions are huge, the prices are moderate, and the wine isn't marked up so high that you feel like you were a victim of highway robbery. Needless to say we wish we would of found this gem years ago, but I promise we will be back at least a couple times a month.

Pros: Valet Parking, Price, Wine list, Service

Cons: We didn't have a reservation and had to wait at the bar for about fifteen minutes

Posted 12/09/08

I had a delicious meal last night that didn?t miss a beat. We started with sweet potato soup. My take on my two spoonfuls was that it was good but reviews from the other side of the table indicated that it was a lot better than just good. I had seared sea scallops which I frankly thought was a masterpiece. Main course you ask? Southern fried Catfish which was declared the best ever and skillet fried chicken which melted in your mouth. I must also give a shout out to the roasted sweet corn pudding that came with it. Well what about Dessert???? We tried three different ones (please?.they say they?re small bites?.we?ll discuss that concept later). They served a fudge tart, bread pudding with bourbon sauce and a cherry tart. Flawless?..absolutely flawless. All portions were generous without being overly so, including the desserts. The wine list was wonderful also. If I had to say one thing it would be that the ambience is nice but could be a little more creative. Gosh?..but that sure didn?t affect this delicious meal. Oh, must also mention that the bar looked like a fun place to eat. Kind of comfy and cozy.

Pros: This was yummy!

Cons: None

Posted 10/31/08

Wisteria is consistently where we choose to go for a more upscale dinner. In fact, when we dine at other restaurants, we often find ourselves wishing we'd gone to Wisteria instead. The staff is knowledgable and helpful and provides attentive, but not overbearing service. The food and wine are top-notch. The menu changes, but not so drastically that your favorites will all disappear. Our favorite menu items include the mussels, the wild boar sausage (sadly, it's no longer on the menu), the onion tart (now available only sometimes), the skate wing, the tenderloin w/mac and cheese, and a new favorite, the pasta stuffed with brie. The cobbler dessert (fruit rotates) is always delicious. We were just there last week with friends and already cannot wait to go back.

Pros: great menu & wine list, attentive & knowledgable service

Cons: loud when the restaurant is full, many tables very close together

Posted 09/28/08

My wife and I went to Wisteria last night and it was great. We sat at the bar and had a wonderful experiance. The bartender jeff was very helpful and noligable about the menu. I had the beef tenderloin with some wonderful mac and cheese and my wife had the skate. Everything was excellent and I would strongly suggest to anyone to go.

Posted 07/18/08

I took my wife to Wisteria last night and we were both blown away. The food was out of this world. I choose the pork dish and my wife had the skate wing. We could had licked our plates! I was most impressed by the skate wing, as I had never tried anything like it before. The service was excellent and our server was especially helpful with the wine "book". I would definately suggest making reservations, as it was very busy. This will be our new haven in the city when we can escape the kids.

Pros: Food, Service, Decor

Cons: Noise

Posted 07/12/08

My fiancee and I had dinner at Wisteria Sunday night and had a wonderful time as usual. We have been very disappointed recently by some of the new restaurants in our neighborhood , and spent a major portion of the dinner discussing how nice it is to have restaurants like Wisteria which are always great. Our compliments and thanks to Wisteria and other Atlanta restaurants like them who consistently deliver a great experience.

Pros: Always Great

Cons: crowded on the weekend

Posted 07/08/08

I had some girlfriends in town from Florida and we, along with two other friends who live in Atlanta, tried Wisteria for the first time. We had absolutely no complaints... everyone's drinks were good - from beer to wine to even a margarita - and the food was outstanding. Two of us ordered the skate wing and thought it was awesome. One friend ordered the vegetable platter and it looked amazing and was a ton of food. Another got the shrimp and grits and very much enjoyed it. The picky eater of the group got the chicken, and she didn't enjoy it as much as the rest of us enjoyed our meals, but I never trust her judgement on food! :) The service was great, with our waitress being friendly and attentive, without being overbearing. I highly recommend and will definitely return.

Pros: Food, Service, Wine List, Valet Parking

Cons: Can't think of one...

Posted 05/30/08

After a terrible NYE dinner up the street at Vine, another guest recommended Wisteria to ring in the new year. When we go there after 10pm the place was jammed, full of energy and fun people at the bar. They were still seating people for dinner that late which says how good they are. Everyone had smiles and seemed to be enjoying themselves. We were lucky to grab a spot at the bar after another couple was seated. The two bartenders were very nice and friendly even though they were working their tails off keeping up with everyone. Next year we know were we are going for NYE and will be sure to book early.

Pros: Fun high energy restaurant

Cons: gets very busy

Posted 01/01/08

My husband and I were in town for a meeting and asked for recommendations for dinner. We had Randy as our server. He was pleasant and professional. Our reservations were for 7. (Restaurant only mildly busy at that time). While initially seated against the brick wall, my husband didn't want to face the wall. Within minutes, we had our table changed so that both of us had our backs to the wall. Much nicer. Everything came at a comfortable pace. Good drinks, great appetizers (shrimp encrusted with nuts) and salad; I had the vegetable dinner platter (excellent) and my husband loved his pork chop entree. Ambiance was also perfect. The only small criticism, was the bus boy removed my husband's plate while I was still eating. All in all, a lovely evening and Randy was the best.

Pros: Fun drinks, great food, excellent service

Cons: to the bus boys: "Don't remove plates until both are done eating".

Posted 12/06/07

Had another wonderful dinner at Wisteria Saturday evening. We had the big guy with the beard as our server and he was fantastic. Recommended a couple bottles of wine off their reserve list since we were looking for a nice bottle. Settled on a Merry Edwards Pinot that was attractively priced at only $85. Great selection. Started with the Black eyed pea Hummus and sweet potatoe chips which was great. Then had the Tuscan bread soup and the endive and blue cheese salad. Bread soup had a little too much garlic, but was still great. Then had skate wing and corn grits, along with pumpkin ravioli. Both excellent. We decided not to have dessert since we were going to go to vine for after dinner drinks and dessert, but they were closing when we got there at a little after 10pm. We should have stayed at Wisteria since they have a great sampler dessert plate they call 4 bites. We did sign up for Wisteria's Nov 6 Flora Springs wine dinner. What a bargin at $85. 5 Courses and wines like Trilogy. They are only taking 60 people and when we made the reservation they were at 48 so hurry, you can't even find most of these wines. I was very impressed with the meal and wine pairings. Can't wait.

Pros: Excellent food, wine and service

Cons: had to wait nearly 30 minites even with reservations, but worth it.

Posted 10/28/07

What I like most about Wisteria is its total lack of pretense. It's not "done up" like so many Atlanta restaurants, where the decor is more impressive than the food. That's not to say I don't like the atmosphere...the hardwood floors and exposed brick walls make the place quite cozy. But the food is definitely why people come. The house-made ravioli with deconstructed pesto had so many wonderful flavors I was still talking about it two days after I ordered it. I'm really not a seafood guy and even I had to concede my friend's skate wing was good. And that's why Wisteria is becoming a favorite of mine ? the chef can take something I'd never order and prepare in a way that makes me want another bite. Somehow, I don't think the guys at those scene-y places could pull that off.

Pros: Great food, great staff, great atmosphere.

Cons: None I can think of.

Posted 10/09/07

Wisteria is our new favorite. Great creative dishes at very fair prices and way too much to eat. They have the best wine list that can be found with prices for mid to high end wines sometimes $20-$30 less than other "wine" restaurants. Their servers are excellent and very knowledgable about wine and you always get the proper glassware to make it an elegant experience. Wisteria is very highly recommended.

Pros: Outstanding wine list, great food

Cons: Have to make reservations early on weekends to get in

Posted 09/22/07

WOW! What a wonderful experience the whole evening was. I took my parents an my girlfriend there for my mothers birthday last night. Yummy! And very filling. We each got different meals and all of us enjoyed all of them. Our waitress Patricia, was more than helpful with suggestions about wines and starters. The scallops (small plate) are to die for but there are only two on a plate, so she suggested another starter to go with it, green tomatoes fries with blue cheese dipping sauce....(Yum) and plenty to share. I did make a reservation and requested the table by the windows. Everyone was so nice and service was prompt, friendly and timely.

Pros: Service; ask for Patricia. Food

Cons: none!!

Posted 07/26/07

My wife and I went to Wisteria for the first time on Friday night and it was one of the best meals I have had. The wine list is spectaular and very resonably priced. Our waiter suggested a wine from Sardinia that was fantastic. For our first course we shared the tomato fries and tuna tartare that were both delicious. For our entrees I had the pork tenderloin and my wife had the chicken with collard greens. Our server had suggested these items as the restaurant's signature dishes and I can see why. The sweet potatoes were exactly like my grandmother's at Thanksgiving. My wife is a fried chicken junkie and I think she may have found her new favorite. We were too full for dessert but I ended the evening with an ice wine. We will definately impressed by the cozy atmosphere of the restaurant and the attentive and relaxed service. My only complaint is that we had a slight wait before we were seated. I will definately make a reservation next time.

Pros: service, food, wine list, atmosphere, valet

Cons: visibility: we drove past the restaurant

Posted 06/09/07

Service was so alseep.. The bread came after the appetizer, after the first round of very bad drinks and then the entree, and whoops, now let's bring bread..how stupid. this is billed as first class service, oh, sorry, I forgot, first class for a Sat night in hot Atlanta, the tourists were all out , so they thought we locals had no class, well let me tell you, bring the bread out early and it was bad bread. please hire a new bartender..so bad.. no orange, in the orange.. drink.Horrible, signature drinks, stick with the overpriced wine.......
And they do not know the wine. Waiter was so awful, he just brought the check and slipped it in. We had to beg for bad dessert. How awful, bread pudding that was so way too stale.. Creme brulee that was over zapped by the sugar zapper, and the creme itself, forget it, so cold. should be warm with a light caramel crust, this stuff was fake plastic sugar top, and the pudding itself, cold as ice. Only good thing, a burger, but overcooked horrid onion rings. Forget the salmon, awful and the whipped potatoes must have been from the box from 1960, the intstant batch type. awful, you could taste the chemical taste in the powder. So very sad. Sorry, nothing else good to say, oh, the strawberry on the side of the plastic creme brulee was fresh
so awful.

Pros: burger

Cons: service, bread, parking, signature drinks, desserts, potatoes, onion rings

Posted 05/05/07

The weather was newly warm this past weekend, and we were looking for a new dining destination. And Wisteria on Highland Ave. more than fit the bill. Tiny, cozy, and dripping with new Southern Charm. I don't know whats happening around the city, but New Southern Cuisine is everywhere. Our server was terrific, not Southern, but made a few recommendations. We both started with an outstanding Crab Bisque, very meaty, with Goat Cheese and Creme Faiche. Delicious. We split an Arugula and Grilled Apple Salad, with a unique Roasted Honey Pecan Dressing. A little sweet for me, but I did not let it go to waste. Calling my name, was the pan seared Skate Wing w/lemon butter and roasted asparagus. The best since my old favorite, and now closed, Le Coze at Lenox Square. Pure heaven. My companion opted for traditional Fried Catfish w/Remoulade Sauce. Better than any southern fish camp, I assure you. We were too full for desert, but I've already picked out my entree for our next visit. Wisteria is now in the same league as Restaurant Eugene, Saga, and JCT Kitchen. Who knew the south would come back like this?

Pros: Terrific New Southern Cuisine & Charm! Pan Seared Skate Wing!

Cons: Parking can be a little confusing at first, Safe!

Posted 04/03/07

I'm sorry, but after reading reviews here and other places, I was excited to take my date here for a romantic dinner later at night (9PM). Nothing could be further from the truth. The physical location wasn't promising and the valet parking is really the only option, which is a problem when you return for your car as the valets typically have several groups of people at once to manage between only two guys. Moreover, this is possible the least romantic place I've ever been that was billed anywhere as a romantic restaurant. Our table for 2, like every other similar table, was sandwiched between other tables with not even a foot of space between other diners in the noisy, crowded restaurant. I could not bring myself to ignore being so crammed in as if in a cafeteria--I've had much more pivacy in a crowded McDonalds. No one even asked for my coat until after I was sitting. I thought perhaps after some time it might quiet down as it was, even for a weekend, pretty late, but that did not happen. The saving grace for Wisteria is the food--it's fantastic and probably saved our evening. The wine list is in fact extensive and thoughtfully populated. Our food come in a timely fashion for the number of people in the restaurant and was great, naturally. The desserts were more than just an afterthought for the menu, which I appreciated. The price range is really better than even I expected, as well. Unfortunately, for this price range, and given what Wisteria bills itself as, I will not be back, and if you're looking for a romantic or a business location for dinner, I'd really recommend skipping it too. Just too cramped and noisy and in this city you can do a lot better.

Pros: Food

Cons: Location, noise, falsely advertised aspects

Posted 01/21/07

I chose this restuarant for a first date due to the great reviews on this site. I wasn't disappointed, I highly recommend this restaurant. I made reservations for 7:45p, we arrived early and were promptly seated. Service was outstanding, food was phenominal. I noticed there wasn't salt or pepper shakers on the table, not that the food needed any seasoning. I had the ahi tuna, cooked perfectly. My date had the atlantic cod and was very pleased with her choice. We started with the calamari, very tender. The food was so good we had to try desert. Creme brule for me & coconut pie for my date, both excellent! This restaurant will be on my list of favorites.

Our waitress Vivian took care of us. She was attentive enough and not overbearing. She made us feel comfortable and not rushed.

Pros: Great service, Ambience, Exceptional food

Cons: Can be noisy at times

Posted 01/21/07

I have recommended Wisteria for business dinners and romantic dinners for many friends. The food is great as well as the atmosphere and all very reasonably priced and friendly service!

Pros: Food, Price, and Atmosphere

Posted 01/04/07

Head to wisteria for consistently good food in a warm and beautiful atmosphere. The prices are reasonable and it's a great place for a date or for a group.

Posted 11/20/06

This place is perfect! Food is impeccable, w homey southern feel. This is the kind of place which is both romantic and comfortable at the same time. You walk in and feel like it's your favorite place! Great wine too! Yummy date place!

Pros: Everything! Even the neighborhood id romantic!

Cons: ? what cons?

Posted 11/14/06

Went there for my anniversary and it was great! We love to eat out and are very selective when we do. This has made it into our top 5 in atlanta. Great service, great wine list(harder to find these days), and great food! Must try the Skate wing!!!! Nice and relaxed atmosphere. It is what a restaurant should be, a mini vacation to enlighten the taste buds and enjoy your surroundings. A++++

Posted 10/08/06

I visited Wisteria on 8/19/2006 on a date. We requested a private table and we got just that. We were in a nice cozy corner of the restaurant. The wait staff were very attentive and we did not want for anything. The food both the appetizers has well as the entree's were very good and innovative. The atmosphere was very romantic. So much so that the couple at the table in front of ours got engaged that night. We will be back.

Pros: Parking, Waitstaff, Food

Cons: Location

Posted 08/21/06

Had not been to Wisteria in a while and was in the mood for comfort food. It may not be the best presentation, it is very good american dishes and much better than Food 101 whos name even says they are very basic and in the early learning stages. I had the duck and it was very tasty and well done and my partner had the summer papperdelle. The noodles were a bit thick and too much garlic, but a generous portion and lots of vegtables. They have a very nice wine list, good selection that is attractively priced. They serve wine the the "proper" glasses and their servers know and understand wine. I was impressed at the quality of their service. They added white butcher paper since my last visit (which I do not like) but I am sure it saves them money, but at least they clean between courses. Would not say Wisteria is one of my favorites, but worth a visit every now and then, and much better than the comfort food diner (Food 101) up the street.

Posted 08/17/06

Wisteria is one of my favorite restaurants in Atlanta. I think it's underrated though, or maybe just doesn't seem to get the recognition it deserves. I've yet to be disappointed there, no matter how often I go. The restaurant is fairly small, but has a really cool design to it - exposed brick wall, orginal art on the walls, rustic wood floors. The room gets really crowded on weekends - so definitely make reservations. Because of the small size of the restaurant and the crowds, it can get a little loud at times. All that aside, it is still a romantic experience. The food is some of the best in the city. Every soup I've tried here has been perfectly done. The entrees are all great as well, my overall favorite being the pork tenderloin. This is the first place I took the chef's suggestion and had my pork cooked medium (instead of well). I was so glad I did. The pork melts in your mouth.

Pros: Great food, Ambiance

Posted 08/11/06

This place has the best chicken & corn pudding in Atlanta. The braised collard greens are the best and the squash soup, when it's on the menu, is so, so good. This is one of my top faves in the city for sure.

Pros: the menu, the wine list, the service

Cons: none I can think of

Posted 08/10/06

My friend and I dropped by Wisteria on a Wednesday with no reservations to see what we could taste, & were impressed. Even after I showed up 30 mins late we were still seated promptly. Service was good, not too pressing. Our watermark appeitizer (the crab cake) came with corn & basil chips, which was different and tasty. She had the tenderloin meatloaf, me the pork, and although the potatoes with mine could have been a little softer, the sweet potato souffle was great counterpoint to the meat. For a small as the space is, there were no less than 3 large (10+ people) groups there, who all seemed to be having a good time. Good food, good times, bring friends.

Pros: Warm service, Complimentary valet

Cons: Small Space

Posted 06/30/06

My family & I (8 total) ate at Wisteria the weekend of Mother's Day with some out-of-town inlaws. I was careful to pick a place that had majority good reviews & found very few negative reviews about Wisteria, so I decided to make reservations. The out-of-towners loved their food and ambience and the wait staff was very knowledgable and friendly. A couple in our party ordered the veggie plate, which was more of a mixture of the daily sides. I would recommend this dish for something different. Everything was cooked to perfection and I was complimented on my choice of restaurants. Obviously good for a big group, but might be an even better place for a quiet, romantic dinner.

Pros: Taste, Service, Ambience

Cons: 20 min wait w/ rsvp

Posted 05/30/06

The appetizer alone made it worth writing this review. No appetizer in town can top the black eyed pea hummus! The wine list is fabulous, and the service is also tops. i have never had a bad experience at Wisteria.

Pros: wines, service, valet parking

Posted 05/13/06
