Dinner just this week. Food was, as always, delicious and very well presented! Service was attentive, efficient, and energetic. A really good wine list! Varied regions and countries with representatives of some of the best and best bargains from “old world” and “new world.” We can verify the wine mark-up is absolutely minimal! We had the walleye and shortribs. Both were really delicious! The kind of food one expects to find in NYC, Chicago, SF, etc. Hats off to this husband and wife team that know how to do it up so well, providing outstanding food, wine, and service!! We will keep coming back!

Excellent food and service in a small and intimate space. Limited menu but all of the choices will be impressive. A neighborhood treasure.

Small place with cute atmosphere. Didn’t try the dinner but we got a few appetizers to share. We plan to come back again to try the dinner menu

Cafe Mamo is a great addition to the GR food scene — 10/10 every time!!
Courtney Eckert
It's probably passed more than checked out and should NOT be. Go. It's quiet and small and has all the wine! For real, go!

Great start to my GR visit, and it was easy to understand why my friends brought me here! Truly deserving to be their favorite restaurant in GR! Ugh, from the bread rolls to the lamb and the wonderful service, this was a great dinner. Excellent wine recommendation as well! Lots of bold flavors done well and subtle touches to coat your taste buds, blissfully! Can't wait to come back 😊

Get everything on the menu. You can't go wrong. If you are lucky enough to have grown up with home cooked meals then this restaurant will make you tear up. <3

We only stopped and did not eat. We asked a couple of questions and the host was very helpful and pleasant. It is a cozy little place and is bigger than it looks from the outside. I'd love to stop by another time and actually try it out.
Parking: There is one handicap and two regular parking spots in the tiny parking lot. You'll almost certainly want to park on the street or a nearby parking lot instead. I wouldn't recommend Sweet Street west of Plainfield for parking, though. It is a busier and narrow street and the laundry mat across the street complicates things. Maybe park at the school on the east side of Plainfield?

Three words: Roasted. Half. Chicken. Easily the BEST dish I’ve had in a restaurant ever. The service was also great and I love the vibe as well. I’ll be back and I’m already looking forward to it!
a chefs dream. putting a rotating menu of delicious plates together with a fun drink menu. divine.
Vegetarian options: very accessible menu. nothing was fried and there were multiple options for entrees.

Honestly, I went, I get the concept, but it’s not worth it. Waiting 1.5hr for a fish and some bread, without any side or anything at all, while one cook serves the whole restaurant just isn’t worth it. Again, I get the idea. But it ain’t working
