have always loved Caffe REL until today.
The salad's chicken was rubbery. the Italian wedding cake was dry and the other 3 people in our party were not impressed with their meals as well. The waitress was not attentive. So sad.

Fantastic restaurant with amazing specials and great people working there!

we have been going there for 7 + yrs. The last 4 times the food was not good. On 5/24/25. we had 5 ppl. 2 had shrimp/steak scampi. The steak had no flavor. The sandwiches 2 others had was bland. Other had livers, it was good but not excellent. Come on Caffe Rel please do better.
