Wanda was a delicious hidden gem with a couple hiccups. Service was amazing and the wine was great (it was a BYOB tho so I take credit for that). I went to Wanda on a Saturday night with a close friend. We liked all of our food but only loved some of it. The ambiance is beautiful but the restaurant is kind of hidden in an interior mall. It's best to access from the parking lot behind the venue as parking on Kings Highway is never fun. The rest rooms are across the hall, outside of the restaurant. Appetizers: My friend had the foie gras, not necessarily my thing but she said it was great. It was flavorful, but I can never get past the mental of how it's made. My first time trying it and, like I said, very flavorful. I ordered the brussel sprouts. They were perfectly crispy. A delicious salty sweet. Dinner: My friend had the duck breast, and we both agreed that the flavor was good, but it was a little dry. It had a delicious sauce, just not enough of it. My dinner was the short ribs. I LOVE short ribs. These were okay. Flavor was on point but, again, a little dry. Amazing sauce but not enough. Dessert for me was the creme brulee. I think it's hard to mess up a creme brulee so it was on point. I'd absolutely go back but I want more sauce!

We went there for the first time tonight which happened to be during restaurant week. We ordered from the prix fixe menu with the 3 course meals. It was the most delicious food I have ever had in my life. The service was impeccable. It was definitely a 10/10!!!

Great service. Our lattes and food were great. My over easy eggs were a tad undercooked, but they were still good and loved the potatoes and sourdough bread. I'll definitely go back because the menu looked delicious. The chairs were folding chairs, so that was less than desirable, but maybe they're in a transition phase.

In fairness this was restaurant week - there were 2 servers and 1 buser for the entire restaurant. For two people it took 2.5 hours to get our full meal and check. Kitchen seemed to be backed up.

We did the preset restaurant week menu and everything was AMAZING! The vegan gnocchi was to die for as was the salmon spread! Our waiter was Noah and was very personable and knowledgeable of the menu. Highly highly recommend Wanda BYOB!

Wonderfull meal. Our recommendations from our super great waiter Noah were on point. The goat cheese croquettes and sprouts were perfect and I had the french chicken snd again it was one of best in awhile. Short ribs my friend had were also great. Desserts were hood. I will definitely be back.

I really wanted to love this restaurant. The place is pretty. We were immediately seated and waited on. Our server was wonderful in the beginning. Once he took our order, we only saw him when he dropped off the food. We ran out of drinks and was never asked if we wanted a refilled. He didn't asked about our food which was okay. The chicken and waffles was burnt. The brussels sprouts dish was good. It was an ok experience.
Have dined her several times. Good quality and presentation excellent. My only comment is the flooring on the ground floor, the cement floor doesn't give a warm feeling to an otherwise excellent restaurant.

Food was excellent and our server was lovely. In the beginning, service was outstanding, but then we were abandoned when our dinner arrived. Would have liked to try dessert, but after finishing dinner and being ignored for 20 minute, we gave up.
It was our third time there and ordered two specials off the Valentine's Day menu. My fiancé got the lobster tail. I got the scallops. The scallop dish was very good. However, the lobster tail was too salty to eat and when we told the waiter he promptly took it off the bill and offered free dessert which I appreciated but told him was not necessary. The only negative comment is that I think it took too long for them to check on us after entrées were served. I was literally more than halfway done by entrée before we were able to get the waiters attention to tell him the lobster was unsatisfactory. That being said, we will definitely be back.

A wonderful dinner with excellent service. The days 2 specials. One was a 12oz lobster tail, and the other, a pepper encrusted NY strip steak, were both done beautifully. Thank you for dinner, to remember.

We were a larger party so we had to be seated upstairs and out of the way of the part of the restaurant that has the “personality”/better decor. Our server, Noah, was fantastic! Very friendly and knowledgable
