    The food had no taste. It was presented well but just no flavor. We had brunch items and the eggs had zero taste the a Ava ado toast was pleasant with the feta cheese and beat spread but everything else was bland.

    I came here for breakfast. Food was good, service was extremely slow they forgot to punch in our order. Then when it came to paying, we paid twice, I paid and my uncle paid, and they didn’t inform us that the bill was already paid the first time. We were talking about how we each paid the bill and had to go back to get a refund for one of them. Bad communication

    We were greeted warmly at the door and the service was warm and attentive throughout our time there. Wonderful vibes with an eclectic interior design and fun music playing that was not loud or intrusive. Wine list is brief, but well curated and, after tasting a couple of wines, chose a really exquisite (and affordable) orange pecorino that paired well with both fish and beef. The tuna tartare was delicious, as was the burger and steak frites. We'll be back!

    The bartender did not have her long hair tied back and was constantly touching it and then touching glasses, side condiments for the cocktails, silverware and plates for the diners, etc. Ditto for another waitress. You had to dig to find the few beet bits in the salad, ditto for the short rib dish. My steak in the steak frites dish was so veiny that you couldn’t cut it let alone chew it. My side of mushrooms was the only highlight of the restaurant. We will never go back.

    Excellent brunch. The Eggs Benedict were perfect. Friendly and attentive service, despite the place being packed and jumping on a Saturday at noon!

    Love the owner and the food. I came here once for brunch; both the meal and cocktail were amazing. Then came for dinner with a friend and loved the mushroom risotto. Our fries were not too warm but thats fine i believe it’s a genuine mistake sometimes. The risotto didn’t come with a serving spoon so I went in and asked for one. She gave me a small one so that was funny. i want to come back for a nice coffee breakfast

    Great food & drinks! I did the prix fix menu: ravioli with beef to start, dove sole for an entree, orange cake for dessert. All of it was delicious! My son had the salmon, also very tasty. I also tasted the curry, it was good but I like my curry spicy. Great choice for graduation weekend, amazing food!

    We went at Cafe Sauvage for our first experience and it was for their French dinner (last Wednesday of the month). I loved the place and its atmosphere. The food was amazing and people there were super nice during all the dinner, ready to answer any of your questions, attentive but still discreet. Next time will be the brunch :) I can’t wait to see you again, and thank you.
