Wren Bistro & Bar

Amazing experience from top to bottom this past July 4th weekend at Wren. Great food. Great service. Great vibes. Our server Angel was super kind & provided immaculate service. Couldn’t recommend more.

Very good smash burger!!! I've mostly eating dinner here, and always enjoyed it, but this time a friend said let's do lunch. Note that I got the single patty and not the double, which was plenty. There are quite a few other things that I want to try on the lunch menu, and I'll be back for dinner as well. Always great service, food, and atmosphere!

Had a very nice glass of Riesling and a shellfish bisque to start, Momma's Freakin' meatloaf and Italian creme cake for dessert. Very attentive service and excellent food, I would highly recommend and would return 👍👍

Today, Black Friday, we had reservations at 1 pm after the historical carriage tour. BTW, recommend this tour with Laurie. Wren was clearly understaffed, but my guess is people didn't make reservations so they were unaware how to staff for the day. We were a party of 5 and we were seated at the rear of resturant at the round table. We had a clear view of everything. Plus the table was by the kitchen. We, in amazement witnessed 2 wait staff covering the entire (full) restaurant while also greeting customers so not only waiting tables, but also doubling as the hostess. 1 bartender also pulling extra duty helping the team with tasks. One food runner and one table busser. Our group couldn't have been more impressed with the entire team. They worked seamlessly together and with impeccable speed and accuracy to ensure every customer had what they needed. And, the most impressive attribute of all of them was their cheerful and respectful personalities. On a day that was stressful they maintained composure, politeness, and got the job done. We can only imagine how many wonderful team members were in the kitchen, behind the scenes, crafting delicious meals because the food runner was like watching a combo juggler + track star as he brought dishes out to customers. Our meals were all delicious. The table busser was equally impressive turning tables so fast it was like watching the road runner zipping in to clear dishes, then racing back to sanitize before new customers were seated. I hope this review makes it to the management team, because all these team members deserve special recognition. Today, was a challenging day to manage customer expectations and the entire crew delivered a fantastic experience. Bravo 👏 👏

We had a delicious meal at Wren. The smallish menu has a tempting selection of apps, salads and entrees. Hard to choose but the two we went with were superb. Very lightly fried flounder was placed on smoked sausage rice and topped with flavorful corn and black beans. Incredible. Best preparation of flounder I've ever had. My husband's pasta was a seemingly simple combo of shrimp, tomato, pasta and cream sauce but the flavors melded into even more yumminess. Can you tell we liked it? We were too full for dessert but I saw plates going by that made me wish for it. Service was good -- Matthew ably took care of us. Cozy cool ambiance with a rustic artiness to it. Make a reservation so you're not disappointed. Wren is popular and on the smallish side for tables. The convivial bar and large high-top tables in front draw in the regulars. Great spot.

A very nice and hip place to have a meal. My husband and I happened upon Wren at an in-between time (3-5 p.m.). So the menu wasn't as full with options as we would have liked however there was still plenty to choose from. It took a little while to get seated but once someone saw us waiting they were friendly and attentive. My first choice item on the menu was sold out so I settled for soup instead. My husband ordered a burger and we split the fried green tomatoes. Everything was cooked well and presented nicely. The sauce on the fried green tomatoes was a little overpowering for the delicate tomato flavor and the whipped goat cheese made the crust a little soft. The atmosphere was amazing. It was comfortable and conducive to conversation. If we had visited a bit later in the day I would have loved to try one of their cocktails as they looked delicious. We would definitely go back to try the dinner menu. A great place to take a date or to have some upscale food.

The service was excellent and the food overall was petty good. The shrimp and grits were probably the best I've ever had. The crispy fried flounder was good, however there was too much of the corn and black bean relish. The relish overpowered the flounder. The wild mushroom flatbread was also very good. The sams pasta was ok just a little lacking in flavor.

I couldn't get photos pre-diving in! We were hungry. This place is pretty good. During our visit to Buford/Hunting Beach, we stopped here for a light dinner. I had the garlic shrimp sharable plate and the not so ordinary Caesar salad. My partner in crime had steak fries; he said it was "pretty good". I would come back again.. especially for the bread!!!

I heard about their burger nights and had to try it. For $10 you get a large portion of food! The burger was cooked to my request and was delicious. Their wine selection is limited, but the prices are sensible. Wren’s atmosphere is casual. The location is walkable from many of the downtown lodging locations.

I have been here many times and enjoyed the food. My experience with their bathroom still disturbs me. There were no paper towel only 2 less than clean rags hanging by the toilet. I told the lady busing the next table and her comment was “yes I told them but they won’t put a roll of paper towel in there.” So I told the server and he said “ we had problems with the plumbing and won’t put paper towels in BR til we got it solved. He mumbled something about a blower.” I wonder how employees wash their hands and if they use those rags hanging next to the toilet. Needless to say, I won’t go back. I will miss their chicken salad!
