Hear from our valued guests
Lovely little restaurant. Went to dinner at around 6pm on a Sat evening, and it was nearly full. Tuna Tartare was excellent - I could have used more wasabi, but I LOVE wasabi. So it was likely plenty for the average person. Lobster Bisque had chunks of different veggies and lobster. The Frites Mixto was excellent. Using thinly sliced lemons as part of the dish was an unexpected refreshing surprise.
This happens to be our "new" favorite restaurant, either happy hour at the bar or sitting down for dinner, you can never go wrong! Everything is cooked to perfection and the service is always 5 Stars, Jessica is fantastic as well as all the other ladies ensuring a truly pampered restaurant experience. Scott behind the bar not only makes the best cocktails but programs all the music you hear while dining, he's a true wizard!
The service was attentive and friendly. I had the Cubano sandwich with the coleslaw. Both were delicious! My friend had the lobster bisque soup and thought it was very tasty. We would definitely eat there again.
We came in for a quick weekday lunch with a friend. Three adults total plus a three year old. Lovely place to eat! And the food was excellent. Pictures: Grilled cheese with mushroom and barley soup of the day; salad with crab cake; kid’s pancake order with sausage. (Of particular note: Those pancakes were delightful.)
If the food isn’t reason enough to love this restaurant, the staff brings it over the top. Judah and Brenda Lee are an asset. I dined there yesterday with a friend that has cognitive issues, and both servers were very patient with her, my friend had a wonderful time! We will frequent our “happy place”!
I had my daughters baby shower here and I could not have been happier. Having a personalized space and very attentive wait staff made the party run smoothly. The food was absolutely delicious. Nora was a pleasure to work with and was very accommodating to all requests.
Had a wonderful 80th Mothers Day brunch with Mom. We had reservations and were met warmly. Service was great. Staff all looked happy to be there. Food was good, with fresh ingredients. I would very much go back when I'm back on the Island.
The food was fantastic. We ordered the rice balls and I was like okay rice balls... but then when we got them I was like oh my God- RICE BALLS!! Sooooo good!!! The salad was amazing, the steak frites were cooked to perfection. And when we said we were going to split the entree they were kind enough to split it for us. The service was impeccable. we definitely will be going back soon!!! Highly recommend!!!
I had an excellent omelette with Swiss and four kinds of wild mushrooms- so tasty! The staff were warm and attentive and the environment was cozy and comfortable. We all really enjoyed brunch. The grilled cheese and butternut squash soup was a big hit with half our party ordering - and loving it.
Wonderful Quaint Restaurant tucked away in the Kings Park area, right on the corner . My two kids and husband have had countless dinners and lunches at Cafe’ Red and we have never been disappointed with our meal, nor the service this family owned restaurant provides. Any pallet can detect the food is always freshly made. Fried items taste clean and flavorful not like they have been fried in old or over used oil. The sauces are delectable which complement the entree chosen for. If you’re looking for a fabulous family owned place to dine, thats serves real food , and your around the kings park area Cafe Red would be a really good choice . I promise… Blessings Always
