    We went to Cafe Landwer for lunch with old friends. It was not crowded and the service was quick and efficient. All of us are vegetarians and were spoilt for choice. The mezza platter and the Mediterranean fattoush salad were both excellent - as were the knafeh and the mango perfume we had for dessert.

    My experience on Sunday May 18 at Cafe Landwer Cleveland Circle was outsanding in every respect but one: It was uncomfortable hot, despite outdoor temperature in the low 60's. Food, value, service and ambience are exceptional but despite light clothing, I felt excessive ambient heat throughout the meal. I recall an even more severe temperature issue at the Beacon St. location in the summer of 2024. Outdoor seating is a wonderful option at both locations, though on especially hot summer days, not so much. Cafe Landwer stands out as the only restaurant in greater Boston I have experienced without air conditioning. PLEASE, inform management that everything else at Landwer being so very very good, and business always seems to be booming, to strongly consider air conditioning your restaurants. As for last night, I encourage leadership to retain HVAC expertise to assess why the Cleveland Circle location was so warm despite cool outdoor weather. Also, a huge complement to the hostess and my server, though I did not see either of their names, perhaps I should have been more observant. My reservation was at 6:45 Sunday May 18 Thank you very much! I would be pleased to discuss these issues with you at the phone number indicated or to receive a reply via email John Glazer
