This place is great. The food. The drinks. The staff are all incredible. The bartender Alex is great and friendly. Their drinks are unique and really good. The espresso martini regular or the festival special version are both one of the best i ever had. Great decor and the bar is really nice to sit at as well. The burger is great never misses. There pizzas are great to share

We wandered in spontaneously for quick dinner on a Monday night. We shared a salad and a burger, both of which were 10 times better than we had anticipated or even hoped for. The ambience is warm and friendly, the menu is varied, but not so extensive as to be challenging, and the food is wonderful. We will be back again soon, and this time on purpose.

From start to finish Tyler and the crew at Festival were incredibly responsive & clearly communicative, helpful and delivered on all that was discussed and promised. The venue itself has such a great vibe, the space was ideal for our team to get together and spend some quality downtime together. The service was exceptional and the food and beverages were delicious! We would most definitely consider Festival when planning to host another event - without a doubt!

Fantastic food, outstanding service from Cassandra... you gained a forever customer!!!
Recently I had one of my favorite restaurants in the neighborhood close and I was in search of a quality replacement. The first time I went to Festival Cafe they were having a private party and was not able to experience the restaurant.
Last evening in the absolute pouring rain and wind I decided to try to order for take out. Im not sure what was better the food, or the overwhelming EXCELLENT SERVICE from CASSANDRA!! Wow is all I can say. I found my new favorite neighborhood restaurant. The food is excellent, the atmosphere is beautiful and the service from Cassandra could not have been better.
This is a great neighborhood spot. Tons of attention to detail in everything they do! Tyler and the team really create a home away from home. Excellent food that tastes like it came out of your grandma’s kitchen with love, cocktails that rival the best “top 50” bars known around town, and a staff that remember you by name and face. You really can’t go wrong here. Oh yeah, don’t sleep on the espresso too!

OVERPRICED… This place is insanely overpriced for both drinks and food. We went for “happy hour” and still ended up with a $93 bill for two cocktails, a salad, one entree, and 6 oysters. The oysters were very very small for $2 not worth it. The cocktails were weak and did not taste good. Mine was 75% ice. Caesar salad was just some salad with a tiny bit of dressing and some bread crumbs. The chicken cutlets were over fried and had burnt edges. They ALSO charge an extra fee when you pay?? For what? Would not go back again.

It's a really cute space and I got the flatbread pizza that was good but it is way way overpriced. $27 seems extreme to me. I'm in the industry, just a note that I feel like a 30% tip option is a bit much

Stopped in for espresso martinis, which were excellent. There was a slight issue with order initially, but the server resolved things swiftly and exceedingly. Nice place with good vibe/ambiance

What a great spot honestly, aesthetically pleasing, service is CONSISTENTLY fun to speak with and the food, every time, hits the spot. Had a great chat running into the manager, generous guy👍 P.s recommend the burger sitting at the bar with whatever drink, great time
