    Wanted to try something different. We were very pleased. We both had the filet. Both cooked to perfection. Older crowd. Live acoustic music. No wait. Our server did a great job. About $120 for 2 with tip. Definitely going back.

    Easily my favorite restaurant! Our meal was exceptional. From the beginning of the meal we knew we were going to enjoy our night. Service was top notch (as it always is) and the food is expertly prepared. At Cafe Loren the food is consistently delicious. The portions are generous enough to feel satisfied. But not so big that you cannot try something from each course. And there is always room for dessert. We try to have dinner at Cafe Loren whenever our schedules allow. PERFECTION!!
