    Attentive service, a quality menu cooked to perfection by Caesar. We had the mixed green salad and crispy roll for appetizers. Mixed green salad had strawberries, pecans, goat cheese, apples in a wonderful apple cider vinaigrette. The crispy roll was ribeye steak and mozzarella cheese in a crispy case, delicious. Fettuccini fruity di mare and halibut special for entrees we beautifullu presented and prepered with fresh ingredients and love. We sat outside in the courtyard that had a few larger tables, fans blowing on a hot night, all this created a great ambience. This BYOB was a lovely experience, we will be back.

    Excellent food but small portions for the price and the wait staff a little too quick to take order and clear

    Good food, expensive. BYOB. Service was conscientious and a bit unpolished, too eager to rush us. It would make sense to have printed menus as an option with the price point rather than the scanned QR codes. The QR allowed us to see pictures of the food, but printed menus display more class. The lighting is much too bright, and needs to be adjusted for ambiance.

    It was our first time at Cafe 37, and we are already looking forward to the next time. Delish prix-fixe menu. Kudos to our engaging waiter Felix and Nelson who patiently took great photos that helped us celebrate our special occasion!

    All I read about was how exceptional the service was and our experience was anything but. We had to ask the waiter for menus (yes, there is a QR code but we saw plenty of other tables with menus), he failed to tell us the specials (we had to ask him if there were any) or ask us if we wanted to have dessert (again, had to ask for a dessert menu). Then, when we asked for our vegetables to be boxed, when we got home we saw he only gave us one of them. So glad we spent all of that money for it to be thrown out.
