    We went to Wanda BYOB on a cold February night. The restaurant is located inside the small Haddonfield mall and there is parking and a lot behind the building and behind Kings Highway. The restaurant was very busy on this Saturday night and I was glad to see them doing so well. Service was excellent all night long even with how busy they were. Our server stopped by several times to see how we were doing and so did the hostess/owner's wife. I would describe Wanda as elevated American and French influenced. We ordered the short rib, the chicken, and a fish special. All three dishes were excellent. However, the stand out was the chicken and the incredible sauce. They also served really delicious housemade bread. For dessert we had the bread pudding and the chocolate torte. The restaurant is very simple inside but still charming. There is downstairs seat or in the main room, balcony seating, and also a small private room for functions. Prices were in the $25-$40 range for entrées. The menu is diverse, but not overwhelming. They also serve brunch on Saturday and Sunday. We really enjoyed our meal there and would definitely go back. 4.5 Yelp stars.

    My girlfriend and I had a lovely dinner here on a Wednesday night during Haddonfield's restaurant week in March, which was our first time. Our reservation was for 6 o'clock, and we were seated right away at one of the tables upstairs. Our server was Ashley who was fantastic! Super friendly, fast, and professional. We ordered from the restaurant week menu. $45 per person for three courses, with a few available choices per course. We went with the tuna and pork belly for appetizers, NY strip and spring cod for the main dish, and the warm chocolate tart and crème brûlée for dessert. Absolutely everything we ate was phenomenal. Two things bring it down to a four star review. The portions were tiny! When the menu said NY strip, I wasn't expecting four small slivers. I would have left hungry if I hadn't filled up on the butter and bread they included with dinner. Most Haddonfield restaurants have a view of Kings Highway where you can watch passersby or inclement weather. At Wanda, the only view out the window is of a fluorescent hallway. While the restaurant was packed which made for a nice ambiance, you never quite shake the feeling that you're sitting in suburban mini mall. All in all it was a great dinner, and we will definitely be back.

    Absolutely perfect. If you're tired of high brunch prices or poor quality diner food, come to Wanda. I love the quirky decor, friendly service, and truly excellent food.

    We had an excellent brunch here. Really welcoming and cozy atmosphere. Excellent, unobtrusive service. Delicious food. We had the Cajun steak bowl and the omelette special. Loved the potatoes! The owner, I assume, checked in with each table which you hardly see anymore. They care. Will be back!

    Outstanding (and located in Haddonfield's 'Shops at 118') - from the first bite, the promise of our appetizer carried straight through to the last bite of our dessert. A 5-star virtuoso of a dinner. We each ordered the foie gras for an appetizer and then shared the escargot appetizer. I ordered the Frenched Chicken breast and my spouse had the Rohan duck breast. We both finished with coffee and the Gratin d'fuits for dessert. Service was great, shout out to Kaili (kay-lee) who was appropriately attentive, informative, pleasant and made the night a smooth and well-orchestrated one for us. The portions were GENEROUS, the sauces SUBLIME, the execution PERFECTION. Hudson Valley Foie Gras 5/5 : this is my foie gras of choice to make at home and Chef Lipot presented and exceptional version. Perfectly seared, on toasted brioche with pear. Poire William and the most silky-delicious glace de canard. Copper Pot Escargot 5/5 : the portion was incredible - 16 escargots so plenty to share, swimming in a copper pot full of the most amazing sauce - we could have drunk tankards of it - of chartreuse, hazelnuts, garlic and demi-glace. The BEST escargots we've had and the most plump and tender and well...vraiment superbe! Seared Rohan Duck Breast 5/5 : the duck was melt-in-the-mouth tender and sauced with the essence of oranges, lemon thyme, banyuls vinegar, blackberry, and glace de canard. Fantastic. Frenched Chicken Breast Denoix 5/5 : a side of caramelized parsnips & carrots, slathered with a beautiful violet mustard, over a silky pomme purée, in a pool of sauce diable. I never order chicken breast out but based on the appetizers and the description from Kaili, I ordered it and happily ate very last bit of it. Wonderful. Gratin d'Fruits 5/5 : - a delightful dessert of vanilla ice cream, macerated fruit, topped with a champagne sabayon that is slightly bruléed. A perfect end to a perfect meal and night out for our anniversary. Mme. Lipot stopped by the table, greeted us and made certain everything was going well with dinner. The portions are generous, the prices are VERY reasonable - this is definitely a place on our 'return often' list and it should be on yours too - delicious food, great ambiance and a wonderful option for brunch, lunch and dinner. Highly recommended. They also have a private party room and NOTE: the website is not online but WandaBYOB is on Facebook and Instagram as well as Open Table which displays the entire menu. https://www.facebook.com/wandabyobhaddonfield/ https://www.instagram.com/wandabyob/?hl=fr #wandabyob

    Wanda was a delicious hidden gem with a couple hiccups. Service was amazing and the wine was great (it was a BYOB tho so I take credit for that). I went to Wanda on a Saturday night with a close friend. We liked all of our food but only loved some of it. The ambiance is beautiful but the restaurant is kind of hidden in an interior mall. It's best to access from the parking lot behind the venue as parking on Kings Highway is never fun. The rest rooms are across the hall, outside of the restaurant. Appetizers: My friend had the foie gras, not necessarily my thing but she said it was great. It was flavorful, but I can never get past the mental of how it's made. My first time trying it and, like I said, very flavorful. I ordered the brussel sprouts. They were perfectly crispy. A delicious salty sweet. Dinner: My friend had the duck breast, and we both agreed that the flavor was good, but it was a little dry. It had a delicious sauce, just not enough of it. My dinner was the short ribs. I LOVE short ribs. These were okay. Flavor was on point but, again, a little dry. Amazing sauce but not enough. Dessert for me was the creme brulee. I think it's hard to mess up a creme brulee so it was on point. I'd absolutely go back but I want more sauce!

    This is such a cute brunch spot! The food is amazing! We had the classic Belgian waffle, crème brûlée French toast and the bacon egg and cheese sandwich, everything was absolutely delicious! Our server was super cool and friendly! I really enjoyed talking with him and he pointed us in the right direction on food for sure! I can't wait to go back!

    Classic French Toast

    Love this place!!! Now let's back up. We arrive for brunch and there are 5 adults and a 15 month old. We are seated at a great table outside and it is immediately apparent that this is a friendly team. They were great with the kiddo and brought her a kids cup with milk and scrambled eggs which are her favorite. For the adults, we brought our own champagne and made mimosas with their fresh orange juice. On to the food because it is oh so good. The scramble (with andouille and manchego) and the chicken & waffles were the stars of this brunch. Both were an excellent combination of savory and sweet with that perfect amount of comfort (butter) built in. The other classic fare we tried (waffle, French toast and breakfast) was all very simple but well done. Finally, as we were wrapping up, Hilda stopped by our table and told us all about the chef (her husband) and waitress (her daughter) and how the whole place came to be. Wanda's is an amazing family owned restaurant that you will need to visit not only for the food, but to hear the story for yourself!

    I've never been inside the building where Wanda is located but it's a great spot. Plus side, there's a parking lot in the back because we all know Haddon is terrible to try and find street parking. As soon as I saw the menu, I knew I wanted to celebrate my birthday here. Cute little restaurant, we got a table upstairs. Volume was easy for hearing and talking. Very attentive server, friendly and loved that she had the history on where the restaurant name came from (the Chef's grandma!) Anyway, the food, absolutely loved. As mentioned in other reviews, anything lavender, I'm getting. So the goat cheese croquettes were obviously on our list as well as the crispy brussels sprouts. The croquettes were just fantastic- super creamy goat cheese, the lavender honey, chopped walnuts, perfect. Brussels sprouts, thinly sliced, real crispy, perfectly seasoned and delicious. For main, I went with the duck breast. It was just amazing from the way it was cooked to the sauce, the sides.. My mom had the pork cheeks and raved about them. SIL had the Chilean sea bass, loved and her mom had a special of the night, scallops. Plates were cleaned. Dessert we shared the flourless chocolate cake, and again, it was delicious. Really want to come back soon to eat up the rest of the menu. BYOB or they do have a few bottle wine choices to pick from.

    really really good. great service. portions are a tad small (probably because it was restaurant week) but food is very good

    Scottish Salmon (beech  mushroom,  crispy  parsnip,  shanghai tip brown jasmine rice, roasted lobster broth)
    Justine J.

    Amazing hidden gem. I will definitely be returning. It has been an exhausting month and this double date with close friends was super great in this small intimate environment. Crispy Brussels Sprouts (with bacon, roasted pepitas, sun dried cranberries, apple cider vinaigrette) were so delicious. The brussle sprouts were chopped so every bite was bursting with flavor, versus those sprouts served as whole or halves. I definitely prefer them chopped... which I am not even sure I've had until now. If did, it clear was a forgettable experience unlike here at Wanda BYOB. P.E.I. Mussels (lemongrass, coconut, pickled vegetables, kaffir, thai bird chili, grilled bread). This is the fluffiest grilled bread I have ever had. It's like they just painted on the grill marks. Most grilled bread can be so tough it feels like I'm going to cut the roof of my mouth. It was light and refreshing. I loved the pickled vegetables (thin strips onions, zucchini). It was just the right amount of vegetables to complement the dish. Goat Cheese Croquettes (panko crust, lavender honey, walnut). Sounds basic but it didn't taste basic. Also a must have. They were out of the Hudson Valley Foie Gras so we were pretty bummed. That will be our next trip. My girlfriend got the Seared Duck Breast (with essence of oranges, lemon thyme, banyuls vinegar, blackberry, glace de canard). This was so delicious. The duck was so tender and flavor infused through out each slice. Her fiance got the "Osso Bucco" Pork Cheeks 28 broccoli rabe, roasted peppers, parmigiano-reggiano, home-madepappardelle pasta. He offer anyone a bite :(. My fiance got the Grilled Filet Mignon (carrot puree, brussels sprouts, fingerling potatoes, port wine sauce). I think this may be one of the best steaks I've ever had... it it going Philadelphia's Barclay Prime and Del Frisco's Double Eagle a run for their money. When I have steaks, almost always is the flavor just on the outside. At Wanda's, even the inner most interior of the cut is flavorful without you dipping into the demi glace/sauce. Apparently I like carrots puree... sometimes. I had the Scottish Salmon (with beech mushroom, crispy parsnip, shanghai tip brown jasmine rice, roasted lobster broth). I licked this plate clean. I don't know what else to say about it. I'm coming back for the sea bass next time. If I hadn't just had sea bass I probably would have gotten that. I'm already excited. Ginger Rosemary Olive Oil Cake (with miso pear jam, chantilly, sesame brittle). This was so good! This sesame brittle yasted liked candied ginger. I don't like sesame, and I don't like candied ginger. But I ate that up like grape Airheads. I'm so confused with myself. Bottom line - must have. Blackberry Walnut Tart (with vanilla ice cream). I don't trust myself even more now. I don't/didn't like walnuts...? But this tart was so good. Main thing that stood out with Wanda is the owners walked around each table to say hi and ask how everything was. You can literally taste the pride on every bite from the butter for the bread to the last crumb of the tart. Speaking of.... even the dinner rolls were amazing. They garnished the butter with a small flower! Rolls were warm and fluffy... it was like cotton candy and the butter was so soft.

    First time having dinner at Wanda's and I have to say this place is great for any meal: breakfast, brunch, lunch or dinner. Started off with the tuna tower which was very fresh, tasty and full of flavor. Loved the crispy wonton noodles. Then I had the duck breast which was cooked perfectly. I skipped on the potatoes and had a extra serving of vegetables. The pork belly special appetizer was amazing. And the gnocchi was fabulous made with duck confit. Can't wait to return.

Upon entering the restaurant we saw their only brunch option was for a brunch buffet and from our quick scans of the buffet walking to the hostess stand we all decided we would not be doing brunch (pastries looked like they were from Coscto, warm food looked as though it had been sitting there for a while and the omelettes coming from the omelette station didn't look spectacular so we opted to do their lunch menu instead. Service was SSSLLLLLOOOOOWWWWW! From the very beginning until the very end. It took about 15 minutes before our server arrived to greet us, then another 15 for our first round of cocktails to come out, the about a half an hour for us to be told that they were out of 1 of the 3 appetizers we ordered ... so no lie, after being there a full hour we finally received 2 of the 3 appetizers and were then just able to order a second round of cocktails and our main courses. The cocktails weren't the greatest either. We thought perhaps the first round was our fault because we all tried their "blackberry espresso martini" and we knew it was a risk from the beginning ... so we ordered "safer" cocktails for round 2 and the prosecco based cocktails were even worse than the blackberry espresso martinis smh. I truly don't understand how one messes up prosecco + a splash of limoncello and cranberry (that was what was supposed to be in the cocktail) but they certainly messed it up, to the point where I didn't drink it. Our entrees finally arrived and WOMP WOMP WOMP! Overall every single one was MID at best ... and all I had was French onion soup and a wedge salad .... like how is it possible for those to be BLAH? Food was so MEH we didn't even take pics lol. Needless to say we all agreed we wouldn't be back and wished we had decided on what was our 2nd option for brunch instead.

The adult graduate and her two friends had a cocktail ... each had a Casamigos Tequila Blood Orange Margarita that they said was awesome ($14 each). The kids diet coke and lemonade ($3 each) and my plain ole club soda ($3). The 2 friends each had the chicken parmigiana ($26 each) which came with 2 large pounded flat breasts on top of a bed of pasta. They each took half home with them. My daughter has the Penne Vodka ($24) along with a side of Italian Long Hot peppers ($8) and I had the unfortunate task of being on ATKINS diet so I bypassed all these good things on the menu and went straight for the chicken Caesar salad ($19). The salad was huge and at least a 7 -8 ounce grilled chicken served sliced on top. The total bill BEFORE the gratuity came to $179.95 + $11.93 tax for a total of $191.88 (before tip). The ambiance of Filomena Lakeview was really, really nice. We ate on their covered patio at high top table and it was really nice sitting there on a beautiful day. Anything to criticize? Not really. I didn't think the prices were out of line with any other restaurant for what they charge and the portion sizes were all very large. Nothing was skimpy at all. Mariah's service was great and ambiance was super. So, nope! All good and worthy of 5 stars!!

    My office has an annual banquet here and it is a nice place if not ideal for too many as the…read moreupstairs noise levels become loud. Service was pretty good and held up to the group's requests. Not a fan of the appetizer and dessert table in the front of the room as it is difficult to maneuver. Bathrooms could use some upgrades and attention. Parking lot is private and not a problem to find a spot. Meh- would not come here if not for the company events.
