Review summary

AI-generated from verified diner reviews
Cafe Wisteria offers a serene escape in a beautiful garden setting, perfect for a peaceful lunch or special occasion. Guests praise the "excellent service," "delicious food," and "charming atmosphere." Outdoor seating is particularly enchanting, often compared to a "villa in the south of France." Highly recommended for leisurely dining.

    The lovely Wisteria Cafe at Allied Arts in Menlo Park is an best place in the Bay Area to have a perfect lunch surrounded by gorgeous flowers and mature shade trees. It is so peaceful under the colorful umbrellas near the bubbling fountain. I’ve eaten delicious lunches there many times. In fact it’s like a secret garden property tucked among unique shops like the Artisan Shop where volunteers work together and to support children at Lucile Packard Children’s Hospital. It’s the best

    The Cafe Wisteria is a hidden gem at the Allied Arts in Menlo Park. The cafe offers beautiful outdoor seating surrounded by trees and beautiful flowers, creating a peaceful and relaxing atmosphere. We decided to sit indoors, and it was just as charming with tasteful decor. The food was delicious with generous portions, and the service was outstanding-friendly and attentive. I highly recommend it and looking forward to returning for the weekend brunch.

    Tucked away in the Allied Art Guild, this is a great place to have lunch feeling away from the hustle bustle of Silicon Valley. Surrounded by roses and with the fountain, it has a vacation feel. Lots of choices on the menu, everything was very well prepared. Service was excellent.

    Wisteria is a lovely place to celebrate an occasion or just go for a peaceful lunch. The atmosphere is calming. Many menu selections from salads to pastas. Service is excellent. It is not inexpensive but you get your money’s worth.

    We went on a very hot Saturday for lunch and sat outside in the patio area, which was lovely and remarkably pleasant. The problem was that lunch took forever for the 6 of us. We didn't order appetizers and waited over an hour for our main course, two of our dishes went to the wrong table so some of the party got to wait even longer. There was no bread or anything to eat. The manager comped an ice tea and lemonade plus a desert, which is why I gave the service 2 vs 1 star. The food was decent but not worth the wait. I won't go back anytime soon, which is a pity since the setting is lovely.

    Wonderful atmosphere and delicious enjoyable food. Service was a little slow but given it was a beautiful day and the atmosphere was so pleasant we didn’t particularly mind.

    Awesome place! With ambience & excellent service, I will definitely go again. Greeted nicely to be seated. I didn’t get her name, but she accommodated us to the table we wanted. Table with both the sun & shade. Our service staff, Jose , was very attentive and polite. Made our birthday celebration memorable. Thank you!
