10Best Says

Nestled along lush North Highland in Atlanta's historic Inman Park, Wisteria is a charming resto for grabbing an intimate dinner of ingredient-driven fare. Situated within a historic building, there's an abundance of rich dark woods and exposed brick--lending the space a distinct coziness. Touting new American food with a Southern twist, the spot offers an immense gluten-free menu scattered with a range of entrees, appetizers, salads and sides. A few of the highlights include the pan-seared pork belly appetizer with poached pear, dried cherries and candied walnuts; and the Georgia coastal shrimp and grits with sauteed peppers and a spicy shrimp broth.
