                          Very good service very greasy pasta. Friendly, efficient server. Did everything right. Shrimp cocktail were large, cleaned well and had delicious sauces. Onion soup was the right size for a starter Special pasta of the day sounded healthy with sugar peas, peas, asparagus tips, etc but was swimming in so much oil we didn’t want to take the leftovers home. Would have been perfect with a lighter hand on the oil.

                          Four of recently had dinner at The Cafe. The server was friendly and very accommodating. We orderd the calamari as an appetizer and will not order it again as we found it to be a bit chewy. However, our meals were excellent!! Two of us had the chicken and figs and two had the cafe meatloaf. They were delicious and we would definitely order them again. Very tasty and beautifully presented.

                          Overall, great. Service a bit choppy. Seemed like they were understaffed. Food was excellent! Food could be hotter. Sat under heat lamps as servers were stretched thin. A nice spot!

                          Wonderful food! Cute dining spot in downtown Westerly. Top notch service but it’s the food that really stands out at this restaurant. We greatly enjoyed the deviled egg appetizer, chicken and figs, meatloaf and filet. Next door to United Theater so very convenient for pre- or post-film dining.

The table was decorated with rose petals, we received complimentary sparkling wine, and the host congratulated our friends. We had drinks oysters, calamari, dinner, and the cookie skillet for dessert. Service was very attentive and patient. We had the best time. Thank you thank you!!
