Great ambiance, great food and service. Came here to celebrate my birthday with my mom and sister. Truly enjoyed our experience.

Place is beautiful and food was tasty. Taking off one star because they took a long time to bring our food, but otherwise good place to enjoy the nice weather. Great fan of the garlic bread!

Such a peaceful dining experience, I always enjoy coming here for lunch on a sunny day when I am in town. A little expensive but everything is high quality and delicious. Gorgeous gardens to walk around, feels like you are in Europe! Definitely recommend the salmon salad. There is a parking lot with ample amount of parking spots. I always make a reservation ahead of time.

Took mom for milestone birthday. Mom loves gardens so sitting outside on a sunny day under ancient wisteria vine was a special and memorable experience. Food was delicious....colorful, visually delightful... decorated with purple dendrobium orchids. Afterwards walked and visited the stores and art galleries.

Our lunch with friends was excellent in all aspects: the food was delicious and prepared well, service was very attentive and patient when we were some of the last guests to leave, the setting is beautiful in the garden and music was tasteful and pleasing to listen to.

We usually visit this cafe for the gorgeous garden. The food is just okay, nothing special. I hate to say but their service is not the best... we had different servers each time, and they were friendly enough yet all extremely slow at everything...

I loved the ambiance of this place just nestled into the gardens . A delightful little lunch place to catch up with friends and relax. Pictured is the carbonara and pot pie ‍‍‍ the tea was delicious as well

We had a lovely lunch and our waitress was attentive and did a great job. The host that brought us to our table also very nice and friendly. Always a great experience at this adorable hidden gem.

I ordered the eggs Benedict, potatoes were less than warm and soggy, bacon was burnt and hard, barely had crab, for $30??? Lemonade was good, $6 ? The only nice thing was the venue and ambiance. Too over priced. My first time there and I feel disappointed with pricing. Too bad I would go more often if price was less.

My favorite time at Cafe wisteria is warm time of year because eating outside is an absolute delight. In spring summer and Early Autumn, the flowers are stunning. But in winter and sitting inside, the place is still really nice and the food delicious. It's always fun to go to allied arts and check out the gallery and shops and then have lunch. I highly recommend it anytime of the year but especially in spring. The wait staff is very accommodating without being intrusive and the chef is willing to make something off the menu if he can.

I come here for all my celebrations. Birthdays, Christmas, Friends lunch, Visitors stay etc. It's just so elegant and the food is fresh and delicious. In the summer the outdoor seating is just lovely. In the colder months the indoors is beautifully decorated and if you catch them on the right day they'll have live music. Afterwards it's great to stroll through the beautifully kept gardens and shop at the little boutique that are scattered about.

Cafe Wisteria is a great place for lunch with friends. It has a warm ambience, friendly service, and delicious food. There are many choices including appetizers, salads, sandwiches, and hot meals. The onion soup was rich and yummy on a cold day. Loved the empanadas, pear and Brie sandwich, garlic bread, and Chinese chicken salad. After you eat, you can enjoy the outside space and small shops.

French onion soup was excellent! Highly recommend! Chicken pot pie disappointing. While the presentation was beautiful, there were virtually no vegetables (only one tiny piece of carrot) and the cream sauce was way too rich. It tasted like straight cream, with no hint of chicken broth/stock. I only ate a few pieces of the chicken and left the rest over. A real waste of $28! Although disappointing I would return to try other dishes.
