Wisteria 471 North Highland Avenue Northeast, Atlanta, GA 30307

"We decided to try Wisteria based on positive reviews and their vegetarian options. While the restaurant does cater to those avoiding meat, the preparations weren't always to our taste. The Southern influence is strong – be prepared for lots of fried dishes, even on vegetables like the broccoli (which sadly, was overdone). The fried tomato appetizer was passable, but the entrees were better overall. Drinks and service were fine, and we appreciated the surprise birthday cake for my wife, which was a thoughtful touch."

"The music was great! The food came out hot and tasted fresh. Even plates at other tables looked great. The portions were nice for the amount you paid. I am not a huge fan of stacking food and I feel that they could have uses a slotted spoon to serve the greens, as the juice was all over the plate. But all-in-all, it was a nice experience. The table setup is kind of tight."

"Date night for me and my husband. The crab cakes and fried green tomatoes are great appetizers. They also have an apple and oat salad which has a zesty dressing. I got the scallops. They were seasoned well except they tasted like they were marinated in the spice anise and it overpowered the flavor. They paired the scallops with a lemon burre blanc, which was good but they had a corn relish with white bean that just didn't paint well with the flavor of the scallops. I'm a foodie and this really killed my appetite. I didn't enjoy them as much as I thought I would. I couldnt get past the anise flavor or whatever spice was in the scallop and the white bean texture. My husband got the lamb Shank which was cooked to perfection over smashed potatoes. Molly was our server, she was awesome. Very friendly staff and the service was great."

"I came here for a business meeting with a few others. The service was excellent as our server attended to our party and was very prompt. The food was a mixed bag of great and OK. Some of the dishes like the mashed sweet potatoes was excellent while the fried chicken was just OK. In regards to the parking, the lot next door is valet and they charge for it. The only other parking is street parking, so just be aware."

"I dined here with my girlfriend for a girls night out, and we had the best time and enjoyed delicious food! Our waiter was incredibly nice and very attentive. He made some great recommendations for dinner and appetizers. We had the fritters, friend green tomatoes, and I had the shrimp and grits. The cocktails were also very delicious! The restaurant space is also very cozy and homey and not too loud."
