Friendly helpful host staff gave us a lovely table on the patio on a busy Sunday at noon even though we didn’t have a reservation.

Very romantic spot if the coverings are lowered. It was a rainy day so they were up but saved us from freezing our buns off. Good food. Great venue and view. Servers were great and just a really cool and diff restaurant. I like Mediterranean food but don’t love it. That said, this spot is legit.

Came here for Sunday lunch. Made reservations with OpenTable. Restaurant is on the upper level with outdoor seating in a nice patio area. The weather was too hot so we sat inside. The 3 items we ordered tasted good. Would recommend the red Curry seafood risotto. The service was fine but did need to ask for water refills. Menu has a good selection of items. Good date restaurant as the atmosphere was nice especially if you seat in the patio area. Parking is available on the street and a parking garage is located a block away.

Took a my bff here for a birthday dinner. Ambience was great, highly recommended a table in the balcony patio. It’s a small space tables are pretty close together, wouldn’t recommend for intimate conversations. Lol

Excellent food and service over the many decades since you opened.. But the removal of the seafood salad from the menu is absolutely unforgivable. Bring it back ASAP!! The octopus salad was very good, but there’s no substitute for the seafood salad.

Stepped into the bathroom in Cafe Santorini and was amazed by the pampering I got while conducting business. Fancy Dyson dryers blew away my expectations (pun intended). Sinks looked like they belonged on a spaceship. Toilet was clean and comfy. Overall great environment and absolutely would stop by again.

They handle food so well! The way they prepared all of the meals was incredible. Each dish was very flavorful and delicious. We loved the specials they had including the bass, the penne chicken was great, and the desserts were wonderful! We particularly liked the apple pie/cobbler dish. The flourless chocolate cake was super rich and delicious. We had three of them and could’ve settled for just one.

Everything in this place is perfect. The food is amazing, the people who work there are super nice and the place itself is great too. My family and I go there almost every weekend and it’s one of our favorite restaurants ever. (The tiramisu is the best one I have ever had, and I’ve has a lot of tiramisus).

My boyfriend I had a wonderful time at the cafe. Location is really cute and the views are nice if you eat on the outside balcony. The cocktails were very good I had a negroni. This place has made the most tender lamb shank that I’ve had so far and the potatoes that went along with it were really good as was the apricot sauce. I would definitely go here again expect to spend around $100 for a good time and a very well cooked meal.
