Many restaurants come and go throughout Atlanta, but Wisteria takes
root in Inman Park where chef/owner Jason Hill makes a connection
with his patrons and the surrounding neighborhood. Since opening on
September 9, 2001, Wisteria has blossomed into a friendly community
hub and culinary showcase.
Before opening Wisteria, Hill was the executive sous chef at Harvest.
Prior to that, he was a chef at Partners Café and Indigo Coastal Grill.
A graduate of Johnson and Wales University in Charleston, Hill actually
began his cooking career at the tender age of 17 at Atlanta dining
institution Pano's and Paul's Word has definitely spread throughout
Atlanta as Chef Hill continues to cook up quality,contemporary American
cuisine with a Southern twist. The popularity of Wisteria has earned
an excellent rating from Zagat Survey as well as top listings in AJC,
Jezebel and Atlanta magazine. Wisteria continues to earn accolades from not only Atlanta publications, but also nationwide press.
Hill's philosophy is to create a menu reflective of Southern culinary traditions yet ambitious enough to attract
sophisticated diners that want a modest comfortable atmosphere and dinner at neighborhood prices. He varies
his offerings to provide in-season vegetables and other ingredients year-round, allowing his menu to stay current
while pleasing the regulars with their favorites.
An evening at Wisteria may start with crab bisque topped with Calvados créme fraiche.Appetizers include a buffalo
and chipolte sausage with peach chow-chow and a caramelized onion tart. The entree specialaties are an iron-skillet
chicken over corn pudding and collard greens, or fried catfish atop a ragout of okra, greens tomatoes, and crawfish.
