   Our group loved our dining experience at Cafe Wisteria, as always. José was an excellent server and successfully relayed a request to the chef for a temperature variation of the Chinese Chicken Salad. When we ordered two desserts to celebrate the birthday of one of our members, they even brought us an additional dessert to share as they have done in the past. We love Cafe Wisteria, and it is typically our go-to restaurant when we get together to celebrate a birthday!

   A must-visit place in the spring when all the plants and flowers are blooming, the air so fragrant, and before it gets too hot. We had a wonderful fountain-side lunch today (Monday) in the outdoor patio as an extension of a lazy weekend. It felt like we were transported to a villa in the south of France. We had a delicious paella and Wagyu beef salad. The former had great ingredients but was a tad too salty for our taste; the salad was excellent with a generous slices of marinated grilled beef. Service was excellent, and was included in the bill, no complaints. Only wished they had some outdoor furniture where we could nap afterwards. A delightful way to kick off the week. Highly recommend for yourself, or to wow guests.

   Cafe Wisteria was very busy on Saturday and did not have enough waiters to deal with the crowd. Also, some waiters were relatively new and need further training to refine level of service. We waited over 15 minutes for our drinks and 35 minutes to get our soup. We also had to ask for our bill at the end as the waiter completely forgot about us. This restaurant has such potential but is poorly managed and further training of staff related to customer service standards needs addressing.

   We had a wonderful table by the fountain. The food was delicious and the servers were adorable. We stayed for a long time everyone had a great time. A wedding shower was being held and was a fun addition to the day. Lovely place.

   The outdoor setting is charming, the indoor dining area shares the same ambiance, the food is delicious and Jose was a great waiter. I particular liked the fact that it was such a leisurely lunch. Not feeling rushed because they want your table for the next party is a good enough reason to lunch there! I will be back.

   We had a lovely lunch outdoors. We were greeted by the host, wishing my husband Happy Birthday! Our server, Melissa was lovely, attentive but not hovering. The lunch was fresh and delicious. A birthday dessert was presented in the end. Kind and thoughtful gesture. A great place to linger over lunch.
