• 7/15/26This review is for the dinner menu of the gulf Sautéed Gulf Prawns which are absolutely delicious without being oily or overly garlic. The sauce has hints of butter, lemon and garlic without being overpowering. I've ordered this 5 times and never disappointed. I've ordered the chicken five times as well. The pan based drippings on the chicken is a subtle flavor that carries well into the vegetables that are perfectly cooked. Included are two pieces of bone in chicken. The chicken is juicy and is cooked with the skin on so the flavor is sealed in. Only once was the chicken slightly dry. All other times it been cooked to perfection. I just tried the steak last night and the portion, quality and taste is 100x times better than Flemmings. This is my new go to for outstanding food quality and taste.

• 5/1/25Spaghetti Bolognese (homemade) was delicious!!! Plenty of meat in the sauce, and the sauce is very flavorful. I already started eating in this photo (sorry) so the portion is slightly bigger than that. I asked for parm cheese on the side and got that as well!

• 10/17/24My Nona would be proud to serve the Spaghetti Bolognese (homemade) from this Cafe!
The spaghetti was properly al dente! The sauce was well-spiced and had plenty of meat!
6 slices of good French bread with a small cup of spiced olive oil to dip!
I will definitely be back very often!

• 3/21/24Only Con: Small portions. The Grilled Scottish Loch Salmon is good. Veggies are cooked and season well. And the pasta is delicious. The Sautéed Gulf Prawns are delicious but only got four. Im sure this experience would be 100% better at the restaurant.

• 11/27/23The Grilled Chicken dish was a sublime expression of the culinary art of Italy. The chicken was succulent and tender, ehanced by the almoriglio sauce, a traditional Sicilian condiment. The vegetables and patatoes were fresh and flavorful, complementing the protein with their natural sweetness and texture. The Tiramisu is a symphony of flavors and textures. It begins with the delicate balance of mascarpone cheese, layered ladyfingers soaked in a mixture of espresso and a touch of a quality liqueur, which infuse the dessert with a subtle depth of flavor. The layer of cocoa powder adds a hin of bitterness which counterbalances the sweetness of the other ingredients. These components come together and create a dessert that is rich yet light!
