My husband can’t stop talking about the Beef Cheek BOURGUIGNON he had at your restaurant last night. Best meal he ever ordered at a restaurant. 53 years old, that is saying a lot. The Cafe is our new favorite restaurant in the area.

Fabulous menu!..Great service!
We love gathering there with family members...Always look forward to dining there!..Friendly and warm atmosphere...

This was our favorite restaurant from opening day until October 8 2023 at 7:30pm when Steve (general manager) verbally attacked and humiliated me. The other patrons and staff all stood there in horror at his despicable and abusively unhinged behavior. Many staff have since exited due to his erratic attitude. The Cafe can regain trust with the community if actions are taken to remove toxicity.
