WHERE STARS ARE TREATED LIKE LOCALS  & LOCALS ARE TREATED LIKE STARS
The Café is a concept born of our family’s belief that a community is stronger when it gathers to celebrate, discuss ideas, relax, and enjoy. Our unique downtown location and partnership with the newly renovated United Theatre will yield an endless number of these memorable experience opportunities for years to come. The design of our venue, menus and service are a proper mix of aspirational and comfortable.

We are honored to be a part of this incredible region and look forward to having you join us.

Typically the food is excellent. Two of meals were extremely salty. A bit disappointing.

The ambiance, service was good. I got the meatloaf, the meatloaf was served on a corn like bread, with finger potatoes. The meatloaf overall was okay. My friend got the The Cafe Burger and they loved it.

Beautiful location, food, drinks and service were great. Problem is lack of ventilation in the kitchen. Our hair clothes and everything smelled like we had been at a diner not a classy restaurant.
The Cafe - WesterlyResponded on 12 January 2025
Thank you very much for dining with us last night, and for your feedback. The ventilation issue you mention is something we've become more aware of, especially as we get busier and busier. Finding and implementing the right solution is on our priority list for 2025. When you come back to The Café again for dinner, please make sure to let us know you're here so our management team can introduce themselves, and we can make sure you have an exceptional experience. Thanks again.

Our table of six was very disappointed. It took 30 mins to get our first round of drinks. Once we complained, it still took time and then our main server had a chip in her shoulder for the rest of night. After we finally received our drinks, more server enforcements helped out to ensure the process moved along. My pasta was tasteless (even with the black truffles) and the salmon burger fell apart. Overall, the atmosphere is great, the menu sounds delish, but our groups overall consensus was for the prices, it was definitely not worth it.

It was not your fault but our enjoyment of a wonderful dinner was marred by an excessively loud individual seated at the next table. I wish people would be more considerate of others.
