    Amazing food and service. We ordered a bunch of items- every single thing was top notch. Rib eye, crispy fish, meat with papardelle, corn, seafood cha gio, and grilled octopus. While the menu doesn’t have any kids options, they prepared noodles and fried chicken for the kids. Kids also enjoyed all other food, especially the seafood cha gio. Deserts were also very good - we shared the pavlova and kids had dulce de leche ice cream.

    We were a party of 8 and we ordered at least 10 different dishes. Each one was outstanding! Some are great for sharing. A few were harder to share. However, we had an outstanding time. Our server (Indigo sp?) was OUTSTANDING. We have been to Wren several times and always have an OUTSTANDING experience. One suggestion: the place has a very cool vibe. However, the playlist did not match the vibe. It should be something like Chill on Sirius XM.

    The food was phenomenal. The service was exceptional. Visit and interact with all your servers. Personalities of gold and extremely knowledgeable. This was one of the best dining experiences I’ve had. We even went twice this week while in town for business. Would give six stars if I could.
