    A bit pricey for the overall experience. Need to get wine glasses with stems not those cups.

    Amazing flavors and great variety of dishes. We started with the roasted garlic plate, then I had the quinoa bowl and my husband had the shrimp and crab. Finished with affogato and graham cracker brownie. Everything was delicious!

    The food was sadly underwhelming for brunch. Our waitress was kind and attentive which was the best part of the meal.

    I’m a terrible Open Tabler because I rarely review, but today, I gotta offer all raves. Took my 91yo mom and friends to Cafe No Sé for her birthday lunch, and they hit it out of the ballpark! The food is so damned good, the pastry chef is a rock star, and the service was absolutely on it. So…if you need a breakfast/brunch/lunch venue, I really like that place! Hadn’t been in a while—happy still reliable. And easy parking with validation. Just go!

    We chose this restaurant because if it’s OK near an event we were going to and couldn’t have been happier. We went around 6 PM on a Saturday and there were plenty of tables available. It was quiet then, but I could see it becoming a bit noisy if the restaurant is full. Service was quick and friendly, and the food excellent. I especially recommend the beet salad (large enough for two to share). We will be returning!
