    Candelas was absolutely fantastic! Our group of thirteen women were welcomed with open arms on a cold rainy day. The service was exceptional and our group raved about the roasted cauliflower soup hitting the spot while others were thrilled to find an excellent chopped salad , spanakopita to die for and a unique and flavorful chicken gnocchi. We will definitely be back and look forward to eating on the patio when the sunshine returns!

    Just great. Roasted cauliflower soup is amazing, and the mains our table of 4 had were all on point. Patio is the best, and the service is warm and attentive.

    We had an awesome experience from the HELLO at the beginning to the thankful goodbye at the end.... Our food and service were superb. Already made plans to return. So glad there is a great place like this to treat my friends ... local and out of town.

    The concept is the same as Cafe Monarch with a Latin American flair. The experience is what we have all come to expect from our evenings at Cafe Monarch and the court yard is just as MAGICAL and UNFORGETTABLE! But what truly makes the Lewkowicz's two restaurants tops on my list is the service and Candelas is no different. The staff is truly remarkable in the way they take a great experience and make it the dinning experience of the year. The knowledge and true passion for the food and wine shine through and take the experience to an extraordinary level. We inquired about the wine paring, that we have become so use to at Cafe Monarch, and while they do not have a formal one they were more then happy to design one for us on the spot. Chris not only paired the wines beautifully, but his stories about the winemakers / wines and why they were chosen were entertaining and educational. Make sure you ask to do the wine paring it is must do.

    Amazing is how I sum up our overall experience. The hand craft cocktails are delicious, service is top notch and the meals are extraordinary. With all that being said, the atmosphere is even better. Go enjoy for yourself!
