What a great dinning experience. From our waiter, José, to the crafted cocktail and authentic appetizer, entrees and desert there really was no room for improvement. The ample portions left us with a wonderful snack for later. I loved that Jose gave us the history of the proprietor, Mima, and how she came to create this wonderful restaurant. The mural of her really sets the tone and the music, china, fixtures and created the perfect setting for this culinary experience.

Our server was super sweet and attentive! And the gentlemen who brought out the sparkler for my husbands birthday was very thoughtful of our toddler being scared of the sparks. Overall, great experience.

Greeted immediately by friendly people as we entered the front dining room that had live music today, Sunday. Our dining area was a very attractive bricked wall space , that had a cozy feel, while being fairly open. Our attentive server Dee was friendly and kept us informed about our cocktail order and food order. All three of us enjoyed our breakfast meals although you can have lunch too. We would highly recommend The Cafe for breakfast,brunch or lunch!
