“To celebrate our 27th anniversary, we went to @oldskoolcafe. The greeters, cooks and servers are all young people. Mama T opened this place to help at risk youth learn work and life skills (like how to get a license, do taxes, set a bank account). Partnering with experienced chefs, this restaurant has excellent food… and live jazz!!! We ordered the Taumoepeau Ota (think ceviche) and it was a great appetizer… light and the fish was super fresh. We had the short ribs which were super tender and had a rich gravy. We didn’t think we had room for dessert, but the lavender cheesecake and the Guittard chocolate brownie were fabulous! If you are in the city: GO! SUPPORT! ENJOY DELICIOUS FOOD!“

“The food is good and the service is great. Ms. Nella is always welcoming, kind and accomadating whenever I pick up my food; that never wavers. My only complaint is, this establishment has inconsistent hours. I always call in my order but there has been two incidents where I’ve called in, didn’t get an answer and just drove over as I figured they were busy. Lo and behold, they were closed despite the hours of operation posted on line. I wasted my time twice going down there. Now I know that if no one picks up the phone, they’re closed.“
