Accessible parking was non-existent as all of the snow from the winter was piled into the space where accessibility was needed the most. We had reservations but still had to wait over 20 minutes for our table. The service was really slow. All of that being said, the food was really good. If you don’t need wheelchair parking and you can tolerate waiting 20 minutes before being served water and your initial drink order being taken, the food is good.

It was nice that we could make a reservation. Service left something to be desired. . . Specifically the coffee which took forever (actually mid meal) to arrive, but then 2 arrived at once. Seemed they needed help communicating. The food was good.

We tried this restaurant for Valentine’s Day. It was early, so not very busy. But service was lackluster. Our server kept forgetting things that we asked for. The wine selections were poor. The food was fine, but a bit salty. All in all, not much to make me come back.

Service at Emigration Cafe is laughable. We had such high hopes for this establishment- it’s a great neighborhood location, cheery interior, but people make or break a place. Sadly, Emigration Cafe has a lot of work to do in the service and friendliness space. From the host/hostess to the wait staff our experience was subpar. Very curt, acted frustrated and put out when we requested anything. Our entire table ordered the breakfast burrito that touted “Millionaire” bacon, queso sauce and a smoky salsa. All three items were absent. So frustrating, and no attempt to remedy their issue. We also were never offered drip coffee refills or water refills. Very sad - such potential, but we will take our brunch business to Finn’s down the road.

Our food took much to long to come out. We keep trying to give this space chance after chance. When it was One 0 Eight we were disappointed time and time again and now that it's changed hands we were hopeful. Went out to a family dinner and by the time our plates arrived, it had been awhile. My butter salad with salmon was wilted. The lettuce could only be eaten part way and some of the tomatoes and cucumbers were old and soggy. It was really a disappointing dinner. They also accidentially brought out my husbands dinner as a kids meal so they had to take it back, correct it and bring it out again. The hamburgers were not fresh, they had been reheated. For $150 (including tip) I don't think we will be returning. Which is a huge disappointment as this is our neighborhood and we want nothing more then to support our local restaurants. I do appreciate our server though - he was very nice. But between the food and the time it took to get to us, we won't be returning.

I always love Emigration Cafe but we had a rough time getting service. We sat for a long time before finally flagging a waitress to take our order, received our coffee in paper cups, sat with empty drink cups for a long enough time that we flagged a wait staff member and then still waited. There were no proactive checks at all. Again - this is abnormal for the experiences I’ve had in the past.

Nice atmosphere, good service. Food in general a bit too salty and rich. Caesar salad needs very fresh crisp romaine lettuce. Croutons and dressing good, lots of calories. Mac & Cheese side was too salty and rich. Better quality of cheese suggested. Flatbread came with garlic--not advertised on the menu. This should have been just parmesan cheese. Dough not light, too chewy and tough. Needs improvement. The tomato basil soup was not available. Will continue to try dishes to see what we might like. Hope we can find some suitable dishes. Great location, nice staff. Would only recommend with reservations.

The Avocado toast was only medium, because the bread was too thick and it was not easy to cut, nor use your teeth. I loved the radishes and avocado. Fruit dish ok. The atmosphere was delightful outside.
