Best WLM Reviews

I have eaten here couple times and thr good is great. Love the farm to table food. I am a big person on fresh quality and not prepackaged foods and this place is amazing for the food. Both times I was there around brunch on a Saturday and the breakfast menu was really good both times. I got a breakfast bowl with carnitas meat and it was amazing. Lots of flavor, texture, color in the bowl from crispy potatoes to delicious carnitas to a smooth and silky and cooked perfectly. The pickled stuff in it was different and a great contrast to the other parts. The micro greens are a current favorite to added nutritional boost and getting these on both plates here was awesome. The bowl was a lot of food added meat made it right amount for me, the added meat not necessary but highly recommend.
The eggs benedict was a different take. It is one of my favorite breakfast menu items. This take I could appreciate the concept but it was a 4 star for me. I really liked the cornbread that you can tell is fres and made in house if not at least near by. That was a great variant that I may have to acquire when I make it at home. The ham was delicious, it said maple cured and we use only pure at home no maple flavored but the maple flavor I was hoping for more of a pop from, maybe using a little maple syrup in the hollandaise sauce? Anyway the eggs were perfect and topped with micro greens as well. The hollandaise was, well not enough, or jot enough of a flavor, it was minimal and really felt like an after thought rather than a main focus which when ordering a Benedict the 3 things are required, a great hollandaise that is fore front, a take on ham, and a base. They had 2 of 3 spot on. Thus I would say 4 out of 5 for it great meal still don't get me wrong but could have used a touch more hollandaise with a bit more of a flavor or focus on that aspect. Great place will be back. Also like how they jave some fresh produce, baked goods, and farm fresh meats in coolers there.
Great little farm to table place. I had the falafel salad with bèet hummus and my friend a chicken salad sandwich. Both were delicious and nicely presented. Service took a while as there was a line out the door when I arrived at Noon on a Wednesday, but definitely worth the wait. Will go back for breakfast soon.
We planned on a different brunch place but the wait was too busy so we called wise acre and the wait was only 20 minutes on a Sunday morning.
We didnt know what to expect with this farm to table restaurant but we were excitingly impressed! There’s just one seating area with long tables, so you’ll sit by a stranger but there’s enough space. They have a system in place to make things more efficient when ordering.
The menu was great, with many options that aren’t overwhelming. Our group got a few biscuit sandwiches, the bowl, and French toast. The sandwich was exotic- definitely upgrade to bacon than sausage because it was thick bacon. The flavors of the sandwich were amazing together, and when we tried each ingredient separately it tasted different! It blew our minds how the flavors melted together. The biscuits were going to take extra time to cook, so they offered me a different vehicle of bread- I chose the croissant.
Looking around the restaurant, the favorite dish was the bowl with toast and greens. It’s honestly not as expensive as I expected given the quality of food.
There’s also a little pantry in the corner with home grown items. They have a freezer section with fresh meat ranging from steaks to meat stick. YUM!
The place also has an outdoor heated patio on the side in addition to the tables in the front outside. Great place!!!
Love this place! We had the special fried chicken sandwich and the wild rice bowl with shredded beef. Very tasty. Nice selection for an urban farm store. Don’t miss the nursery across the street. Great gardens.
Been meaning to come here for years- why it took so long I’ll never know. A true farm to table gem. Nice staff, lovely market offerings, good seating, very good food. I’ll be back! Definitely not inexpensive but a good value for what you get.
I had:
WISE BURGER 17
Two 3oz Scottish Highland beef smash patties,
pickles, onion, smoked cheddar, herb aioli,
Baker’s Field bun (add $3 for home fries, so $20 for a good quality burger and fries)
First time in. Upgraded the cheddar biscuit sandwich to bacon (from sausage) and added home fries. Stayed for coffee and a cookie. Cannot beat the taste, the value for money, the ambiance and the friendly staff. A perfect breakfast restaurant.
We tried the Sweet and Spicy Grilled Cheese and the Wise Burger. Both were unique and tasty, and plenty of food for the price. Food came out quickly, and I thought the atmosphere was very cute. Highly recommend for a lunch spot. The place is bigger than it looks-- we were surprised we didn't have to wait for a table
A few wks late posting but this is a great place to go when the weather is nice because there is a lot of great seating outdoors. It is affiliated with Tangletown Gardens, which is noticeably by the lovely planters and the close association to local farms and sourcing of its ingredients. We had the veggie scramble, breakfast sandwich and the breakfast bowl. We came a bit late and just missed out on one of their delicious specials. You order at the counter and then find a seat. Definitely will be adding it to our brunch rotation!
