    Took my mom for a treat for a quiet garden. Food was great and initial service was very according as usual but this time server was not as good as expected. Double charged for a drink, waited for it to be fixed, no apologies and no pen to sign the bill. Maybe pre-added 20% tip is not a good idea.

    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.
