The food and table service were exceptional!! Unfortunately our reservation must have been at peak time and we were not seated for 30 minutes past reservation time. The front of house appeared unprepared and overwhelmed. And after finally getting seated, we were beside a very rowdy “limitless” mimosa crowd. Not necessarily the restaurants fault - yet a contributing factor to our satisfaction level.

This was our first time at the Germantown Cafe. The food was delicious! We both said we'd come back and get the same thing again, although I think I will try the crab cakes. Our server was very good...attentive but not pushy or overbearing. It was a great experience and we can't wait to visit again. The key lime pie was divine!!

Service was outstanding and food was efficient and just perfect. We were seared in the bar on a Sunday morning. Cinnamon donuts were great, lemon poppy seed French toast = perfect and crab cake eggs Benedict with Morning cocktails made this a special occasion breakfast. We will be back.
