   Absolutely lovely setting outdoors, and a wonderful place to have a nice quiet conversation. My salad was very good and quite large. The ginger crème brûlée was OK, but I didn’t really taste ginger, and my dining companion made the same comment, saying she was a bit disappointed in that. Otherwise everything was great.

   Our group really enjoys celebrating our birthdays at Cafe Wisteria. In addition to the two desserts our group of four ordered, an additional dessert was brought out by our server for the birthday lady which was a very nice surprise. We also typically stay for hours and the servers and manager are always very gracious to us even when we are among the last to leave the restaurant. And since we dined on a Wednesday, we were pleasantly surprised when two musicians showed up and played some very nice background music for everyone to enjoy. We look forward to returning for our group's next birthday gathering which will be in two months.

   Nice environment with a lot of garden walks and small cottages shops. The food was average and didn’t match the cuteness of the gardens.

   We enjoyed a lovely lunch outside. Crab cakes, mushroom empanadas to start. Then Chinese chicken salad and Caesar salad with blackened shrimp. To finish off, chocolate lava cake to share! Great food quality and attentive service. Highly recommend.!

   Our group’s dining experience was great from beginning to end. Our server and his assistant were both exceptional, and we were easily allowed our preferred option of using multiple credit cards to pay our bill. Our group of four even stayed for three hours at our table without being pressured whatsoever to end our enjoyable gathering! Thank you Cafe Wisteria!

   I have been there before but my wife and I went there for lunh today. We ate inside as it was cool outside (I have had lunch outside with a friend before and it was very nice). The inside was a large room with tables placed far enough apart for privacy and conversation. We sat by the window and were immediately greeted, given water and a menu. We brought a bottle of wine - they do not serve alcohol but you can bring a bottle of wine to enjoy with your meal and we did. The corkage fee iss $20. We ordered to starters: the crab cakes and the mushroom empanadas to share. They were very good and were hot. My wife had the Loaded Tacos with shrimp - four tacos loaded with shrimp cooked just right, some avocado, and a spicy sauce. It was a large plate. She liked it very much. I had the Butternut Squash Ravioli. The pasta was cooked al dente, the sauce was very good and the crispy bacon and red onions were a great accompaniment. I could not discern the sage however. The service was great. We finished with a shared desert and a couple of Cappuccinos. And I cannot forget to mention that two gentlemen played electric guitars (a base and a 6-string). They played jazz at just the right volume. It was jazz - the first number was a great rendition of Summertime - no voice, just 2 guitars). It was great. We really enjoyed our lunch. Highly recommended. .

    This is a charming and wonderful place in a special setting (the Allied Arts Guild in Menlo Park), just for starters. On top of that, the food and service are excellent.
