This was our first visit to the café, and we loved everything about it. Our waitress, Sasha was very pleasant, attentive and helpful with the menu aspect of it all I think I think she enjoyed us as much as we enjoyed her. Thanks again. We will be back.

We came here for Father's Day Brunch. It was amazing, from the service to the food. We were told to come and and try dinner. So we did that, and The Cafe did not disappoint. The 35 Day Aged Ribeye was in my opinion was one of the best steaks I have had in a very long time. The place is very clean and the look and feel of the place brings it all together.

We had a lovely family dinner. Service was gracious and prompt. Food - melon and grilled Caesar salads, prime rib, mushrooms and tuna poke were top notch. Toffee pudding, cheesecake and strawberry/rhubarb sorbet for dessert were the perfect ending. Can’t wait to eat there again!

as frequent diners, we were eager to introduce 2 new couples to the cafe. Our evening was wonderful from the lively greeting and service of our waiter to the charming, French cafe atmosphere. You now have two new couples who claim you as among their favorites. And we still love you too!!

We ordered our favorite Affogato for dessert and asked the server if we could have just ice cream and expresso without the alcohol as was offered on the menu and of course the server obliged but we were charged the same price as if we had had the alcoholic version. We ordered two of these. We thought a price adjustment in light of the fact that there was no alcohol would have been taken into consideration on the final bill. It didn't feel right. An uncomfortable ending to an otherwise perfect meal and restaurant experience.
