    The cafe is a great place to have an enjoyable dinner. Missy, the hostess is very attentive and oversees the smooth running of the entire operation. The crab bisque is outa this world and the clams are always very tasty. We love returning for a delectable meal. Never disappointed.

    We where a group of 4 and all agreed that we enjoyed of time, food and service. Salads where very good with most have the Ceaser Salad and Spinach Bacon. Only concern was they where very small portion, for $9. The main courses where Salmon, Crabcakes, and Swordfish. The fish portions where tasty and cooked to order. Crabcakes where mostly crab. Tasty. Portion size about 4 - 6 ounces total. Overall we will return to enjoy the food and service. One last note: tables are covered with glass tops. We all agreed it was ok for lunch, but not for dinner service.

    All in all a very good experience. Food was outstanding as usual. Service was a bit spotty. While we don’t like to be hovered over; an occasional check to fill a wine glass or to see if everything is satisfactory is always appreciated. Not the case this visit. Will we return? Absolutely. Great value and sufficient wine list. Food is always prepared excellently.

    It was my birthday and I couldn't decide which of my 2 most fav places to go. Knowing I can never go wrong at the Café, we decided to go there. I am not joking when I say it was one of the most memorable birthday dinners we can recall. Everything and everyone was perfect! Thank you for the most wonderful night!

    This place has amazing food that is something I would find in a city. It's current and delicious. I was surprised how quiet it was for a Friday night with the menu options and prices. I will definitely return!
