Nothing very special. Quite mediocre orzo Pepe was bland as was the Greek salad. This is probably the worst Greek restaurants. There’s so many restaurants in this area that you should be able to find something better than this.
Food was great - lots to choose from. Presentation lovely. Location is fun - watching people pass on the sidewalk! We had a great experience and will definitely return.
We have enjoyed the Cafe for many years. Whenever we are in Florida we make sure to visit this restaurant. We will be back again soon!
Eli was our server and he did a Great job. We had lunch here back in February and we did not like it but I know it was probably just because you had just opened. Everything was wonderful and we will be back soon.
We were intrigued by the beautiful decor and the old brick archways, so we decided to dine at Cafe. The food was the best we have had in a while. The mushroom bisque was without question the best soup ever! This is a must dining experience.
Maybe the reason of our dissatisfaction was that we went with high expectations, and while the restaurant is very nice, the food was hit or miss, mostly miss. Out of the two appetizers we had, the lobster version of the escargot was delicious, but served with not enough bread, the caponata was mediocre, served too hot, cut in chunks too big, and lacking in taste. We chose for the entrees from the simply grilled section, but both my shrimp and chicken skewers and my husband's red snapper were barely grilled, not even warm enough, so I assume that they were pre-cooked and barely thrown on the grill to get some minimal grill marks (they might use the sous-vide method which I personally dislike but chefs tout as great, I believe it only allows faster cooking but distorts consistency).
Absolutely wonderful food, service and ambiance! Alex was so fun and fabulous server!

First time having dinner here under the new management and refurbishment after the hurricanes. Super good food! Wide variety of Mediterranean choices. The service was impeccable! Christian was so nice and friendly. We are now going to put this on our regular rotation on St. Armand’s! And the half price wine on Wednesday was a lovely surprise!

This was the first time back since CaféL'Europe closed. We read the menu and really didn't see anything we liked so we just never tried it.BUT WE STOPPED BY AGAIN AND FOUND THAT THEY UPDATED THE MENU. WE GAVE IT A TRY AND IT WAS DELICIOUS. THERE ARE MANY THINGS NOW ON THE MENU THAT AREN'T TAPAS. Service is great. The food was great and we're so happy now that we can frequent this restaurant often. If you haven't given it a try because of the change now is the time to go back I think you'll find it delicious 
The food was very good, Alex is an excellent server and has been for many years. The menu is different than when the location was Cafe Europa, but is very good.
Great service and food. Wine prices high so we stuck to cocktails when we would normally had have a bottle of wine to enjoy with our meal. But at $60 too expensive.
