    Great spot with above average food. The salads were great, the French onion was very average, the ambience was cool. I would definitely go back but wish they can improve on the soup a bit.

    I'm not a vegetarian, but I've always enjoyed eating at the Blind Faith Cafe. The food is always fresh, well prepared, and tasty, and the service is excellent. There were four of us on my last visit, and we were all happy with our meals. I thought the spinach lasagna was outstanding, and would order it again.

    It was my birthday lunch with my three closest friends. So I picked the place. I wanted Italian and we weren't disappointed. The soup, pasta and desert was all home made and delicious. We were transported to Italy. the reason I gave three stars for ambiance, is because it looked like a diner.
