This is our neighborhood gem. We love to eat at the bar — ask for Karl (with a K!) — you will not be disappointed in the food, service and conversation. Love our Cafeteria!

Great service and food
Nick R was INCREDIBLE and made our night so special. l've been coming to Cafeteria for years and this was hands down my favorite memory there.
We came for my birthday, a large group that got seated in the back space, and Nick made the best suggestions all night. He recommended the Tower which was amazing and not something I would have considered getting, a perfect mix of apps to sample. We got 2 for the table. The rest of the food was incredible as always, I got the steak tacos.
Cafeteria is always a crowd pleaser, you can't make a wrong choice on this menu, and be sure to request Nick if you can. He'll have you laughing and well fed all night :) thank you Nick

Devon and Nick were awesome servers! Had
great recommendations and very attentive. One of the best mussels dish we ever had!
Chicken Paillard was so delicious and hopefully rumors are wrong that it is coming off the menu!
We will definitely be back!

I sat for lunch on a beautiful sunny fall afternoon. Ordered the turkey burger. Plain and simple, it was awful. Apparently they didn’t have fresh ground turkey so they stacked two thin frozen patties on the bun and disguised it with a copious amount of an avocado mash(?) and limp radishes. So disappointed.
Too bad the handsome and efficient waiter didn’t give me a heads up.

I had the most incredible experience at Cafeteria! From the moment I walked in, the energy was vibrant, the atmosphere was chic yet welcoming, and the food—absolutely divine. But what truly made the night unforgettable was the exceptional service.
Our waiter, Jordan, was absolutely phenomenal. He struck the perfect balance between being professional, personable, and genuinely passionate about what he does. His knowledge of the menu was remarkable—he described each dish with such enthusiasm and precision. Every recommendation he made was spot on. You can tell he genuinely cares about creating a memorable dining experience for each guest, and that kind of attentiveness is rare to come by.
A special shoutout as well to Louie, the manager, who runs the place with warmth and grace. It’s clear that his leadership sets the tone for the entire team—everyone was friendly, upbeat, and committed to making sure guests feel taken care of.
Between the delicious food, the stylish ambiance, and the top-tier service from Jordan and Louie, Cafeteria has easily earned a permanent spot on my favorites list. I can’t wait to come back!

My sister & I stopped in tonight and had a better than usual experience. (We've never had a bad time here fyi). The difference was all in the service. Our server, Atrice, was exceptional; you know when you just click with someone's energy naturally?! She was attentive, personable & professional. Great experience!
Pro tip: Get the Angel's Envy Bourbon Espresso Martini; chef's kiss!
