All good places but very different from each other. You need to think about what you want. Garden Cafe is very small and intimate. The owners are present in the kitchen and front of house. Only 6 or so tables. Romantic, quiet....

Went to visit some Thai friends staying at their cousin’s in Corona. They mentioned they had khao mun kai at Mix Bowl Cafe. We headed over to give it a try. The khao mun kai is up there with the best I’ve found in the...

's. But I certainly don’t turn up my nose at Grand(e?) Luxe Cafe.

Saturday night, it was a friend’s birthday, and she chose Flea Market Cafe (on Avenue A and St. Mark’s Place). She had made a reservation for 8:30, and also called to confirm several times that our party of 6 would be...

A group of friends and I thoroughly enjoyed our dinner last evening at the newly reopened Eclectic Cafe in Hyannis. The outdoor seating area was as lovely as ever with lovely plantings and lighting; tables set with linens,...

I don’t think there is a restaurant in San Francisco where you will get a more genuine, warmer welcome than by Mark Bechelli part owner of the Flower Market Café. It is one of the few places that I was really made to feel at...

Carb Lover requested I post about my experience at Gabriella Cafe in SC, which I mentioned in another post below. I’d been to GC a few times over the years for both lunch and dinner and have always enjoyed it. This time I...

I am a little more partial to Palma Maria, just because I’e been going there for a long time and really like the fresh bread, great service, etc. — not that Cafe Positanto doesn’t have these thjings. Their...

Hey fellow eaters, My bf and I are LA chowhounders. We just got back from a visit in Seattle and I absolutely had to write this post. We went to Cafe Juanita after reading so many favorable reviews, but we were sorely, miserably...
