Our excellent server was Kai and he was welcoming and informative about the menu. The cafe itself is charming and comfortable. The food was quite good but not great.

Kudos to our waitress, staff & kitchen for a terrific fun evening! Waitress was perfect in her service & the kitchen prepped the food for the 4 of us quite well. Our out of town friends that had never dined @ Cafe Degas told us this was a great choice and loved the entire dining experience! Well done!

Love the food thought it was very good portions were not that big but I've been before when I go back again

Cafe Degas is always very good and frequently exceptional. Last night was the latter. It was wonderful

I've been coming here several times a winter for many years. This was the worst meal I've ever had here. The French onion soup was terrible and the steak I ordered was literally inedible. It genuinely seemed like it was from the previous nights dinner. On top of that, the 6 tables that were dining were all crammed into the same area. The rest of the restaurant was empty. It was very unlike this establishment and I hope it was a one off. But super disappointed. Normally a go to spot.

I had a piece of meat advertised as beef tenderloin, but it was absolutely not the quality of meat one would expect. When I asked the waiter about this He said it was not a filet mignon, but it was beef tenderloin. The meat was definitely subpar.

Great evening, the view of Esplanade Ave was perfect, with the windows open that evening. I have been coming for years and the food is better than ever! Third time here in less than a month. Great service.

A very consistent restaurant with a lovely atmosphere. I love the mussels and the French onion soup!
Gary
Food is great. Wait staff is attentive and courteous, but they have a bad habit of serving the main course before I finish my appetizer. So, I either have to quit the appetizer before I'm done, or ignore the main course at the risk of it getting cold

I have always loved Cafe Degas! It's one of my favorite restaurants! I have been going there for 15 years. This was the first time I've had a bad experience, the steak was undercooked, and when asked if they could make it medium rare instead of rare, it came back to the table so burnt you couldn't eat it. Also, the waiter forgot to put our order in And we had to wait over an hour to get our food. This is not the norm for this restaurant, but it was pretty upsetting since it was our Christmas Eve family get together.

I was looking forward to a nice dinner. Reservation for one. I was sat so close to the ice machine and kitchen traffic that I could have made my own drink. Each plate served was literally thrown down onto the table with a loud clank. My entrée was actually served on the opposite end of the table from me as if someone were going to be seated with me. I sat there until it was cold before being asked how my meal was and if I would like anything to drink. The duck confit was extremely salty and not worth taking home. Definitely not worth the money. If I return it will be because of sweet memories I had with a loved one. Hopefully, this isn't the norm. Disappointed. Not impressed.

Food was great!!! For whatever reason my reservation was changed from three people to two people, seven minutes before my reservation time. I do not know why??? But the restaurant honored my reservation. Our waiter took our order, and then he was pretty much done with us. He only came back to check on us after we were done with our meal. Thank goodness the food was good.
