new favorite restaurant

by hollands

Wow I just found my new favorite restaurant. Café was is great…..

I went with a large group of friends last Friday, the hostess was very nice sat us quickly; we sat in the room off the piano it is covered in brick and mirrors really cool. The server was ok a little slow but he picked it up a little later.

The food is amazing I had the tuna canapé, salad and the filet; I could cut the filet with a spoon soooo tender. My girl got this beautiful crab thing she loved it. Everyone at the table talked about how much they liked all the food. Oh almost forgot about the bread pudding dessert (the best thing I’ve ever had)

The chef even comes out of the kitchen and talked to us, he seemed kinda cool. We had a great time and will be back soon

Totally recommend!!!!!!!!!!!

• Pros: great food/ amazing room

Cafe Was was just so-so

by Reese1

So we went to Cafe Was strictly because of the advertised $15 bottomless carafes. When we sat at the bar, the bartender told us we could not share the carafe and would each have to purchase a carafe, and if we dared tried to sneak a drink from the said carafe we would be charged $15. What???!! So it started off pretty much like that...service not on par with the gorgeous room and decor. We did not have anything to eat because we were so bugged by the bartender we decided to bag the whole thing and go to La Boheme, where we were treated like royalty.

Note to owners: service is just as important as the food and decor. I'd love to give this place another chance because it truly has a beautiful room and great atmosphere.

• Pros: Gorgeous room and interesting atmosphere
• Cons: Service

Well worth a try

by sheridanm1

My partner and I just stumbled across this place one night when going to the Arclight. Overall, I thought it was a great experience. We went early on a Friday night with no reservations and were seated promptly. We never felt rushed in any way. Appetizers were good?just very small portions. We tried three different things. All of them were quite tasty. Our entrees were quite divine. I definitely would recommend the halibut and the grilled chicken. We even tried a dessert, which we normally never would do. It was a perfect end to a very tasty meal. My biggest complaint would probably be that the glasses of wine were a little skimpy. I felt like I was drinking out of child?s cup. The place is slightly expensive but it?s all relative. It?s definitely worth a try.

• Pros: very tasty food
• Cons: wish the wine glasses were a little larger
