    Our server, Savannah, was the ideal that every restaurant should want, and every customer should have. Her knowledge of the food and drink choices were spot on. She was extremely friendly and professional. Our meals were fresh and delicious. We have never dined at an authentic Turkish restaurant, but after eating here we were ready to jump on a plane and go. The seating hostess, the dining room manager and the GM all made the entire experience memorable.

    The food and service was 10/10. The ambiance was super cozy and I appreciated how kind my server was. He was very detailed in explaining the different dishes to me and gave me a great recommendation (corfu chicken). The live dancer was also a great touch! I can’t wait to bring my friends to this lovely establishment.

    Cafe-Boutique Piano has become my favorite go-to restaurant in Winter Park. The food is consistently delicious. Everything is cooked to perfection and beautifully plated. The servers are attentive and very helpful. Polina, the owner is usually there. She understands the business and all the nuances of a successful restaurant. The European cafe decor and atmosphere is cozy and comfortable. At night, the lighting creates an intimate atmosphere perfect for a date night or special occasion. Aside from being an outstanding restaurant, folks who must be GF will find the menu has numerous wonderful options. Cafe-Boutique Piano is a little jewel in Hannibal Square.

    Our starter of Harvest corn soup was delicious; the creamed soup was topped with corn relish and a few kernels of popcorn, which added a very different twist to the overall taste. We had scallops with pork belly and zaatar coated cobia, both of which were cooked to perfection. Dessert consisted of chocolate mousse, which was a “dry” version of mousse and a glass of house made limoncello, which unfortunately tasted more like lemon flavored water. We could have done without the mousse or the limoncello. The noise level was high in large part due to a family with children having dinner. The service was excellent! We would definitely return.
