What Rydal S doesn't like about Wister BYOB:
We had a 6:15 reservation for a pre theater (8pm show, around the corner) meal. Salad was served in a reasonable amount of time but was boring, nothing interesting. We then waited almost 30 minutes for our main course, stressing us about timing. When finally served, the fish filet was under cooked. By the time it was revised, we had to run to the theater. We called the manager, who was not apologetic or very helpful.... View all feedback. What Evelyne Truk likes about Wister BYOB:
The restaurant is so pretty Excellent lighting The service was impeccable and friendly I had the beef dish which was excellent and a teen salad My date had the duck special Excellent place View all feedback.
