    Great food, service, and setting. Never disappoints. Had a super delicious burrata special app. Tried the trout for first time. It was excellent. Steak frites is my go to but wanted something lighter.

    We've been visiting Cafe Routier for years and its always a wonderful experience. The food is superb, the ambiance lovely and the service outstanding. We went last night for my mothers 90th birthday and had another memorable meal with them and as always they did a splendid job making sure everything was perfect. I can say without reservation that the cafe is a gem here on the shoreline and as locals, we go there often. Anyone looking for superb food, wonderful service and a most memorable meal should consider visiting, locals and tourists alike when in Westbrook.

    Ambience and level of service was great. Felt like a big family there. Unfortunate lamb and rib eye under cooked per our request. Rib eye was tasty with seasoning and Cesar salad was refreshing.

    We have eaten here many times. This past weekend we had one of their specials which was black grouper. It was absolutely fabulous. The meals are always innovative and well prepared. The service is spot on. Drinks are generous. You won't be disappointed.

    This place can be counted on to deliver a consistently good meal, and their wine list is immense. We went for our wedding anniversary and we both enjoyed our celebratory dinner very much. The service was great. Our server, Sally, was very sweet and attentive to our needs. You can't go wrong at Cafe Routier.
