    Five Stars for Repeal! My recent visit to Repeal was nothing short of extraordinary. As always, the food was delicious, leaving my taste buds singing with joy. The service was top-notch, thanks to the attentive and friendly Ibrahim, who made our dining experience even more enjoyable. From start to finish, Repeal continues to impress with its impeccable standards and warm hospitality. It’s definitely a spot I highly recommend to anyone looking for an unforgettable culinary experience.

    So fun! Our waitress (Shona) told us the story of the beginning of the restaurant. She also gave us great recommendations. We loved all the food and I loved the Margarita Swirl. Was a great time with my husband of 44 years.

    Food was great. Service was on point. Atmosphere is excellent. Prices are a little outrageous, have gone up a little too much. Would love to go more often, but if the prices keep going up, I will go to a different restaurant.

    The Cafe never disappoints. We visited today as our office Christmas lunch. Everyone was pleased with their selections. A couple got dessert to take home, and we had enough space for all 7 of us at our reserved table. the noise level was a big high, but not so much as to be offensive. Its just harder to carry on conversations at a large table with an abundance of ambient noise. The food was good, parking is easy, reservations are quick to set up. We will return!

    Food was very good. The hostess could not find my reservation but seated us with no issue. Food was consistent with everyone in my party commenting it was an excellent breakfast. A few inconsistencies in beverages that were ordered but will definitely go back.
